4.00 Credits
Introduction to molecular analysis of biomolecules. Selected experiments and instruction in analytical techniques used in biochemical research, including chromatography, spectrophotometry, and electrophoresis; isolation and characterization of selected biomolecules; kinetic analysis of enzymatic activity; analysis of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions that direct basic biochemical pathways.
-
4.00 Credits
Overview of physical and chemical principles and their applications to modern topics of biochemical, Department of Chemistry biomedical and biological interest. The emphasis is on the basic principles of typical biophysical techniques that are used to study important macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. Topics include molecular spectroscopic techniques such as light absorption, fluorescence techniques, optical activity, electrophoresis, and nuclear magnetic resonance. Applications from selected areas of biomedicine and biotechnology are described that include examples focused on biomolecular spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy and molecular beacons, DNA technology, and fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging.

2.00 - 4.00 Credits
In consultation with the director of undergraduate studies, the student chooses a faculty member to serve as adviser in an independent program of research in experimental or theoretical chemistry. The student selects an adviser in the spring of the junior year or earlier and undertakes the work that spring, the following summer, and into the senior year. A written progress report at the end of the fall semester of the senior year is required. The research is completed during the spring term, and the student presents the work at the annual College of Arts and Science Undergraduate Research Conference near the end of the term. The research culminates in the writing of a senior thesis that must be approved by the adviser and the director of undergraduate studies.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Individual study in a selected area tailored to the student's needs, insofar as is possible. Training is provided in current research areas. Requires a written progress report at the end of the fall semester and a final research report at the close of the academic year. Graduate Courses Open to Advanced Undergraduates Graduate courses in chemistry may be taken for undergraduate credit with the permission of the instructor and director of undergraduate studies. In addition to the courses listed below, other 2000-level chemistry courses are open to advanced undergraduates. For further information, see the director of undergraduate studies and consult the Graduate School of Arts and Science Bulletin. Other courses may be considered with permission of the instructor and director of undergraduate studies.

4.00 Credits
Designed to introduce the basic methods and concepts of cinema studies to new majors. The first goal is to help students develop a range of analytical skills in the study of film. By the end of the semester, they are fluent in the basic vocabulary of film form, understand the social questions raised by dominant modes of cinematic representation, and grasp the mechanics of structuring a written argument about a film's meaning. The second goal of the course is to familiarize students with some of the major critical approaches in the field (for example, narrative theory, feminism, cultural studies, and genre). To this end, readings and screenings also provide a brief introduction to some critical issues associated with particular modes of film production and criticism (such as documentary, narrative, and the avant-garde).
-
4.00 Credits
Examines the question of how the history of cinema has been studied and written by taking the period of silent film as its case study. Explores the historical and cultural contexts that governed the emergence of film as art and mass culture. Investigates the different approaches to narrative filmmaking that developed internationally in the silent period. Screenings include early cinema, works of Hollywood drama and comedy, Russian film and Soviet montage cinema, Weimar cinema, and silent black cinema.
-
4.00 Credits
Closely examines a variety of theoretical writings concerned with aesthetic, social, and psychological aspects of the medium. Students study the writing of classical theorists such as Eisenstein, Bazin, and Cracauer, as well as such contemporary thinkers as Metz, Mulvey, and Baudrillard. Questions addressed range from the nature of cinematic representation and its relationship to other forms of cultural expression to the way in which cinema shapes our conception of racial and gender identity.
-
4.00 Credits
Examines the background, context, and history of radio, television, video, and sound. Topics include politics and economics of media institutions, audiences and reception, cultural and broadcast policy, and aesthetic modes and movements.
-
4.00 Credits
Involves in-depth study of a specific topic and encourages the student to produce original research.
-
