Authors read in GRK 310 vary from year to year, but they are generally chosen from a list including Plato, Homer, Aristophanes, lyric poets, tragedians, historians and orators, depending on the interests and needs of the students.

Whose work are you reading when you encounter a text in translation? How is the author's voice modulated through the translator's? What constitutes a "faithful" or a "good" translation? How do the translator's language and culture, the expectations of the target audience and the marketplace determine what gets translated and how? We consider different translations of the same text, including rogue translations, adaptations, translations into other forms (opera, musicals, film). Students also produce their own translations or adaptations.

The principal myths as they appear in Greek and Roman literature, seen against the background of ancient culture and religion.

Some attention to modern retellings and artistic representations of ancient myth.

What does "hypocrisy" have to do with the ancient Greek theater? And what does "delirium" have to do with Roman agriculture? Sixty percent of all English words are derived from Greek and Latin roots, yet the history and effective usage of these words is problematical for many speakers of English. This course combines hands-on study of Greek and Latin elements in English with lectures and selected primary readings that open a window onto ancient thinking about language, government, the emotions, law, medicine and education. The course is graded S/U only.

An examination of modern methods of organic synthesis and approaches to the synthesis of complex organic compounds with a focus on the current literature. Prerequisite: 223.

The CCX 320 seminar provides a forum for community engagement and social change concentration students to develop projects that analyze, evaluate, and synthesize their prior academic and practical experiences. This course is designed for students to address a particular social justice issue, research past and present community-based efforts, and develop a community action plan that culminates in a capstone project. Students are provided with readings, discussions, mentoring and other support they need to complete their capstone project.

Same as IDP 120. Service-learning, civic engagement and community service have become familiar terms for describing forms of community-based learning (CBL) in higher education. Theorists and practitioners continue to debate how to bring community issues into the classroom and how best to bring students into the neighborhoods surrounding their colleges and universities. IDP 120 considers these issues through exposure to both the literature of community engagement and the experiences of those who practice its different forms.

Students design experiments to answer current questions in cell biology with an emphasis on the techniques of light (fluorescence, confocal, DIC) and electron (transmission and scanning) microscopy. The specific advantages and complementary type of data generated by each instrument are emphasized. Laboratory techniques for the introduction of fluorescent proteins into cells and other molecular and cellular details of experimental design are covered.
