-
3.00 Credits
A seminar featuring historical and/or contemporary topics in computer science. Roundtable discussions, student-led presentations, writing and a major programming project are featured.
-
3.00 Credits
An individual research project in computer science under the direction of an approved advisor. Typically, this involves a review of the primary literature that leads to the design and implementation of a computational experiment or the development of a large software system.
-
2.00 Credits
Research under the direction of individual computer science faculty for two semester course credits. A thesis is required of each student enrolled in this course.

3.00 Credits
Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems is important to dancers, helping them understand how the bones, muscles and joints work together to produce movement and how the heart and lungs cooperate to provide energy for continued movement. Students in these connected courses will relate theory and application: dancers will learn how to improve technique, form and stamina; biology students will find dynamic applications for their understanding of anatomy and physiology. Connections: Bio 106 Basic Anatomy and Physiology and Thea 110 Jazz Dance or Thea 140 Ballet

3.00 Credits
Not all elections are determined by simply counting who gets the most votes and declaring that person the winner. Mathematical theories of voting can create alternative voting methods that may then be applied to congressional elections as well as to the everyday functioning of the legislative branch. These courses, meant to be taken simultaneously, will explore the relationship between theory and practice through a joint project in which students from both classes work together on a simulation of a political campaign and election. Connections: Math 217 Voting Theory and Pols 211 or Pols 311 Congress and the Legislative Process
-
3.00 Credits
In logic, students employ a variety of methods to determine the truth values of statement forms and the validity of argument forms. These methods depend on an understanding of basic logical relations: negation, disjunction, conjunction and implication. These relations also form the foundations of digital electronic circuits. Students in both these courses will learn to follow specific paths (physical or not) in order to arrive at a conclusion or termination of a circuit. Logic students will see, in Electronic Circuits, the physical manifestation of logical rules and procedures. Physics students will be introduced to philosophical issues that arise in the analysis of logical forms. Connections: Phil 125 Logic and Phys 110 Electronic Circuits

3.00 Credits
Microeconomics becomes all the more interesting when techniques from calculus can be applied to many of the issues it addresses. In particular, the graphic representation of marginal analysis, continuity and optimization in microeconomics can be approached analytically through the tools of differentiation, the major topic in introductory calculus. All examples and projects in the introduction to calculus offered in Math 102 will have a basis in economics; problem sets and class time in Economics 102/112 will involve application of the calculus. Connections: Math 102 Calculus I with Economic Applications and Econ 102 Introduction to Microeconomics or Econ 112 Introduction to Microeconomics

3.00 Credits
Both these courses deal extensively with the human immune system. Bio 221 covers such topics as the role of microbes (mostly viruses and bacteria) in causation of diseases, covering HIV and related viruses as well as the health behaviors and risk factors associated with conditions caused by infectious organisms. Psy 265 uses HIV and AIDS as a case study for understanding the intersections of behavior and infectious disease and focuses on the impact of stress on immune response. The laboratory exercises in Bio 221 will illuminate for students some of the practical clinical procedures used to diagnose infectious diseases. Psy 265 will help students understand how psychological experience influences health and how infectious diseases impact the lives of chronically ill individuals. Connections: Bio 221 Microbiology and Immunology and Psy 265 Health Psychology

2.00 Credits
This connection seeks to place language learning in an historical context. Students will learn about the significance of Germany in modern European history while studying the language and literature of that nation. The two courses include consideration of issues of gender, class and multi-ethnicity, particularly at the intersections of German and Jewish and German and Middle Eastern cultures. The German language courses may fulfill the foreign language foundations requirement. Connections: Ger 201 or Ger 202 Intermediate German with Hist 102 The Development of Modern Europe since 1789

3.00 Credits
The major concerns of this connection are examined in Soc 260: How do we learn to be women and men How are our cultural beliefs and social institutions gendered How do different sociological and feminist theories illuminate gender relations How can we better understand the perpetuation of inequality by examining images of women in the media, sexism in language and violence against women How is sexism related to racism, class stratification and heterosexism A number of these questions will be pursued in Fr 236 through a close reading and discussion of a series of literary texts that explore the lives of women who, in widely different social settings, confront beliefs and institutions that establish and perpetuate gender inequality and privileged male dominance. Students will consider various reactions to patriarchal hegemony by women in two traditional institutions: married life and the convent. Unhappily married women (Iseut, Phèdre, Emma Bovary) turn variously to adultery, incest, madness and suicide in an attempt to deal with their plight. Bent on expiating her sense of guilt through the sacrifice of her child's freedom, a mother forces her illegitimate daughter (Suzanne Simonin) into the convent against her will, where she is brutalized physically and where she becomes the object of lesbian desire. Despite their apparent victimization, all of these women possess enormous strengths and adopt particular strategies that inform their resistance to gender inequality. Connections: Fr 236 Introduction to Early French Literature and Soc 260 Gender Inequality
