Hurst/Chance,F. Offered through the College of General Studies MLA Program. This course will examine in detail the Tokugawa, or Edo, period (1600-1868). In weekly class sessions, equal attention will be devoted to institutional (political, economic and social) issues on the one hand, and cultural (art, literature, theater and philosophy/religion) developments on the other. A period in which Japan enjoyed protracted peace and relative isolation from the outside world, Tokugawa Japan experienced tremendous changes across all sectors of society. While the changes were unsettling to Japan's military rulers, they provided important preconditions for the subsequent modernization of Japan.

The increasing scale, complexity, and social impact of technology have forced the engineering community to reexamine issues of professional ethics and responsibility. In these seminars students will participate in discussions oriented around a series of real-world case studies involving a wide range of contemporary controversies, including the Challenger disaster, software liability, and intellectual property issues. The goal is to provide students with tools for thinking about the complex ethical issues that they were likely to encounter in their own academic and professional careers.

Using the approaches of such computer scientists as Donald A Norman (The Design of Everyday Things) and Alan Cooper, the father of Visual Basic, this writing seminar will explore issues and ideas related to the creative process and end results of how everyday objects are designed and used, from light switches and telephones to computer software. This seminar is intended for anyone who is interested in thinking about everyday life and its objects and learning about what goes into the design process. We will explore design failures and successes, and learn how attention to the objects in our everday lives and how these were designed changes our perspective toward not only the objects that surround us, but our very lives and culture. Along with readings from Norman and Cooper, readings will also likely be drawn from journals, magazines, newspapers. Students will be expected to write and revise 3 four-to-six page papers, one-page responses, in-class writings and a reading and idea journal. This is a writing seminar--and as such fulfills the entire Writing Requirement for students in all four undergraduate schools. The seminar contents vary from semester to semester; for a current description, please see the Writing Program web site: www.english.upenn.edu/Writing.
