4.00 Credits
In this course, we examine and analyze the music of a region where social and political life has changed dramatically and frequently during the last 150 years. From the revolutions of 1848 to the post-communist struggles of the 1990s, music and musicians often have been drawn into debates about national and regional identities. We proceed from the assumption that notions of identity and difference are evident not only in discourse about musical practices, but also in musical sound itself. Prerequisite: Music 200/201. Also offered through European Studies.

4.00 Credits
The fundamental activity in this course is observation. Having arrived at a formative idea for a composition by means of a close analysis of a generative source, we begin describing that idea by any of several means (for example, a score, a performance or a sound generator), and making sense of that idea in sound. At the discretion of the instructor, students work with acoustic instruments, digital music technology, or both. Prerequisites: Music 200/201 and Music 220. May be repeated for credit.
-
4.00 Credits
Independent research in an area of musical study under the guidance of a member of the music faculty. Students must submit a written proposal to the department chair no later than November 15 for projects to be undertaken in the spring semester or April 15 for projects to be undertaken in the fall semester. Prerequisites: Music 200/201, 210, and at least one other course in music.
-
4.00 Credits
Senior-year projects are intended to be the product of several semesters of study, bringing together more than one area of musical endeavor. Students must submit a written proposal to the department chair no later than November 15 for projects to be undertaken in the spring semester or April 15 for projects for the following fall. Prerequisites: Music 200/201, 210, and at least one other course in music.

3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a basic understanding of the architecture and processing of information in the brain. Particular emphasis is placed on the cellular properties of cells in the nervous system and how these biophysical properties affect information processing. To this end, students learn neuroanatomy and use computer models to gain insight into the computational power of the brain. Other topics include development of the nervous system, neurophysiology of sensation and homeostatic control mechanisms. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Biology 101,102. Recommended: Biology 245, 246 or 250.
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced Neuroscience builds on the fundamental concepts presented in Biology 288 (Introduction to Neuroscience) and begins to examine neurobiology from a systems perspective. Topics include the biological basis of sexual orientation, sleep and dreaming, sleep disorders, epilepsy and seizures, motivation and addiction, Alzheimer's disease, disorders of thought and volition, and mood disorders. Prerequisite: Biology/Neuroscience 288.
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
All neuroscience senior majors are required to do a senior research project that normally would earn 1 to 2 units of credit, depending on the scope of the proposed work. The project should integrate acquired research skills and/or subject knowledge gained through the major and culminate in an appropriate written format and an oral presentation. Presentation at the St. Lawrence Festival of Science is encouraged.
-
4.00 Credits
Students integrate acquired research skills and subject knowledge gained through the major to collect original experimental data and analyze the results in reference to the existing scientific primary literature. Results will be presented orally to the neuroscience faculty and/or at the annual Festival of Science and be written as an honors thesis, to be bound and archived in both departments and in the science library. Graduation in neuroscience with the designation of honors requires exceptional academic accomplishment as demonstrated by a major GPA equal to or above a 3.5, and completion of a second semester of SYE honors research according to established guidelines.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to outdoor studies that includes many elements of the minor. Study of ideas about nature and the human place in nature is its guiding thread, complemented by study of natural history, by experience in nature, and by expression (primarily through writing) of the student's own thoughts and feelings about nature.
-
0.50 - 3.00 Credits
By means of study, experience and reflection, this half-unit lecture and required lab course attempts to foster a personal environmental ethic as well as knowledge about environmentally sensitive recreation in the outdoors. Course content focuses on historical and present-day philosophies and practices of outdoor pursuits, including backcountry travel, canoeing, climbing, first aid and expedition planning. The course requires five overnight field trips to practice the material covered in the classroom.
