This upper-level, writing-intensive course, introduces undergraduate students to public advocacy about human rights – both the affirmation and the denial of human rights. Because the subject is broad, the class will only be able to touch on a series of significant instances of such public address, concentrating primarily on advocacy concerning bias crimes in the United States. In addition, the class familiarizes students with the practice of message analysis and evaluation through an emphasis on useful communication concepts and classroom exercises, readings, and writings. Students demonstrate their ability to perform message analysis and evaluation by conducting a sustained study of a series of related public statements addressing an aspect of human rights. Finally, students will develop their skills for speaking and listening across significant differences in backgrounds and points of view in dealing with controversial topics. The course has been designed to help the student to improve his or her writing abilities. Students will write three papers demonstrating their ability to analyze and interpret statements concerning human rights. The method of instruction includes lecture, discussion, film and practice workshops. Considerations of gender, sex, race, sexuality, and class will be interwoven throughout the course materials and discussions.

3.00 Credits
This course explores the emergence, development, and adaptation of mass-mediated systems of visually representing race, class, gender (and sexuality), and their intersections in different nations and across national boundaries, from the early nineteenth century through the present. The multivalency of stereotyped imagery will be considered via the sequence of production, reproduction, dissemination, and reception, as will varying efforts of the groups represented to counter the negative aspects of that imagery. Topics include blackface minstrelsy and its mediated spin-offs (e.g., sheet music and posters), exhibition systems centering on delineating the "other" (e.g., lectures, panoramas, museums, world’s fairs, their tie-ins, publicity, and souvenirs), photography as social investigation/representation, the "halftone effect" in magazines, newspapers, and book illustration, the deployments of social difference on billboards and in periodical and ephemeral advertisements (from "steel engraving ladies" and Gibson "girls" to black mammies), "Golden-Era" film publicity and exhibition as conveyancers of social categorization through celebrity and notoriety, and visualizations of difference within global mediascapes from the early days of television down to the present. Each topic will generally be covered over two weeks, with the first devoted to the convergences of prior media forms flowing into the representational system’s emergence and its surrounding cultural context, and the second to the long shadows of that the emergent forms cast over future representations and their contretemps. Article, essay, and book excerpt readings will be drawn from the interdisciplinary literature that has mushroomed around each of these topics. In addition to the quality of performance in discussions of readings and exercises, each student’s course grade will derive from an article-length research paper, based on primary sources, in which grasp of mediated visual culture concepts discussed throughout the class is demonstrated.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey course designed for students not majoring in computer science. Course objectives include an overview of the components of a computer system; the design considerations involved in implementing a solution to computer problems; an overview of the use of the computer in medicine,business, education, and science; and the study of key developments in computer science to provide historical perspective on computing. Lab sessions provide a hands-on introduction to programming. Two hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week. Not applicable to baccalaureate computer science degrees.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the concepts, techniques, and tools of computer science with emphasis on problem solving using the C++ programming language. A perspective of computer science is developed through the discussion of number systems, computer organization, internal data representation, and programming languages. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. GE: Computational Science.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic data structures of computer science stacks, queues, trees, lists, graphs and their implementation using the C++ programming language. This course is intended to be the course in which the student masters the C++ programming language.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the use of office software for information management and data processing via contemporary integrated software available on standard business microcomputers. Course includes an overview of the components of a computer, business use, and information systems. Emphasis is on the use of spreadsheets, structured document preparation, and graphic presentation.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to computational methods of relevance to the natural sciences with emphasis on limitations in the accuracy of computer calculations and the diagnosis and control of resulting problems. The current programming language is FORTRAN. Prerequisite: MATH 0136 or 0140.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts and skills involved in the creation and manipulation of computer-generated 2D and 3D structures. Students will be presented with the underlying fundamentals and limitations involved in computer graphics through the use of several hands-on assignments that require them to create their own 3D models. Basic computer skills are the prerequisite for this course. GE: Computational Science.
