Postmodernism has been characterized more as a "mood"than a set body of doctrine, a "constellation" of concerns that has arisen in theaftermath of World War II and the Holocaust. Postmodern concerns challenge central tenets of Enlightenment rationalism regarding the self, knowledge, language, logic, reality, and power. The "roots" of postmodern thinking in the work of Nietzsche,Freud, and Heidegger will be explored, along with such thinkers as Lyotard, Foucault, Derrida, Rorty, and Habermas and feminist challenges to Enlightenment rationality. Four Credits Dell'Olio Spring 2009

A topical seminar dealing with significant thinkers, issues and approaches within philosophy. For philosophy majors, the seminar serves as a capstone course within the major. The topic of the seminar for Fall 2008 is "Human and Divine Freedom." While the topics of the seminar vary, it isthe goal of the course to provide appropriate opportunities for students to exercise the skills needed for reading philosophy and for thinking, writing and interacting with others philosophically. Philosophy majors will complete their major portfolios as part of the required work for the course. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Four Credits Mulder Fall Semester 2008

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: departmental approval of a studentproposed project prior to enrollment in the course. Such a project might be an internship; but in any case it would include a significant piece of philosophic writing. (See also under General Academic Regulations, statement about Honors Independent Study or Research.) A student intending to enroll in 490 should plan ahead to study with the professor whose expertise and interests most clearly correspond to the student's interests and intentions. Two, Three or Four Credits Staff Both Semesters
-
3.00 Credits
Seminars in topics not ordinarily offered in the department curriculum, focusing upon philosophic writing and the critique of papers in class. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Four Credits Staff When Feasible

0.00 Credits
All students interested in physics and engineering are encouraged to attend departmental seminars. Registered students are required to attend at least 80 percent of the seminars presented. The purpose of the seminars is twofold. One is the presentation of fields of current interest and questions of concern for researchers so that students can learn the content of and approaches to research. The other is to provide students contemplating further study at the graduate level with opportunities to discuss with speakers the programs at their institutions. In this manner, students can make better informed decisions on the course of their further education. Prerequisite for registration: junior standing. Zero Credits Both Semesters

3.00 Credits
This is an algebra-based course which provides a rigorous examination of the following physical phenomena and systems: 1) mechanics (forces, kinematics of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, collisions, and rotational systems), 2) oscillating systems and springs and 3) selected topics from molecular physics and heat (physics of solids and fluids, thermal physics and thermodynamics). Corequisite: Physics 107. Prerequisite: Mathematics 123 (A Study of Functions) or the equivalent. Three Credits Remillard Fall Semester

3.00 Credits
A continuation of College Physics I, Physics 105. This course is algebra-based with an accompanying laboratory. It provides a rigorous examination of the following physical phenomena and systems: 1) electricity and magnetism, 2) geometric optics, 3) physical optics and waves and 4) atomic and nuclear physics. Corequisite: Physics 108. Prerequisites: Physics 105 and Mathematics 123 (A Study of Functions) or the equivalent. Three Credits Remillard Spring Semester
-
1.00 Credits
The laboratory is designed to accompany Physics 105. Basic laboratory skills are developed. Students use modern instrumentation methods to explore and analyze scientific measurements. This laboratory is a great introduction to the use of computers in the collection and analysis of data. Students will be able to study quantitatively, and in detail, many of the mechanical systems which are presented in Physics 105. Corequisite: Physics 105. One Credit Mader Fall Semester
