Not offered in the period from 08F through 10S This course examines the notion that language teaching theory and classroom practice are two sides of the same coin. After a historical overview of language pedagogy, the course will survey current theoretical models and methods of second language teaching and learning based on a solid foundation of recent empirical evidence. Topics will include Krashen's "Input Hypothesis," the "Rassias Method" and the recently developed theory of "Conceptual Fluency." In the second part of the course, we will shift our focus to the practical questions of curriculum design, classroom activities and the development of teaching materials. This course offers major credit for all French and Italian Department majors. It may offer minor credit with permission of the COpen to all students. Dist: SOC.

10S: Arrange Offered in alternate years. Cancer is not one disease but hundreds of different diseases caused by hundreds of different genotypes. At the cusp of the era in which it has become possible to classify tumors molecularly and to develop targeted therapeutics, this course will explore the impact of genomics on cancer prevention, detection, classification and treatment. Working with a new textbook and the primary literature, students will present research projects on molecular profiling, model systems, and molecularly targeted drugs and imaging. The course will meet for 3 hours per week. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Brenner.

09S: Arrange Offered in alternate years. This course will consider the structure, organization and function of the human genome, with an emphasis on how human genetics will develop now that the genome of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced. The mouse and other model organisms will also be discussed in regard to how they may genetically differ or be similar to humans. The course will meet for two 90 minutes sessions per week. Each session will cover a specific topic and for most sessions the topic will be presented by one of the students enrolled in the course. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Fiering.

09S: Arrange Offered in alternate years The sequencing of the complete genomes of many organisms is transforming biology into an information science. This means the modern biologist must possess both molecular and computational skills to adequately mine this data for biological insights. Taught mainly from the primary literature, topics will include genome sequencing and annotation, genome variation, gene mapping, gene expression and functional genomics, proteomics and systems biology. The course will meet for 3 hours per week. Prerequisite: permission of an instructor. Moore, Whitfield.
