The first semester of our core chemistry curriculum introduces the language(s) of chemistry and explores atoms, molecules and their reactions. Topics covered include electronic structures of atoms, structure shape and properties of molecules; reactions and stoichiometry. Enrollment limited to 16 per lab section.

Experiments demonstrate concepts presented in BIO 200 and illustrate techniques and data analysis used in the study of physiology. BIO 200 must be taken concurrently.

Material builds on introductory organic chemistry topics covered in 222 and focuses more heavily on retrosynthetic analysis and multistep synthetic planning. Specific topics include reactions of alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers; aromaticity and reactions of benzene; and cycloaddition reactions including the Diels-Alder reaction. Prerequisite: 222 and successful completion of the 222 lab. Enrollment limited to 16 per lab section.

A detailed analysis of speech production covering early intervention (birth - 3) teaching strategies, teaching strategies to develop listening and spoken language, and specific strategies to improve individual speech sounds of deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Demonstration plus extensive speech lab and classroom teaching experiences.

Same as GOV 228. An introductory survey and analysis of the development of postwar Japanese politics. Emphasis on Japanese political culture and on formal and informal political institutions and processes, including political parties, the bureaucracy, interest groups and electoral and factional politics.

A year-long course that introduces the basics of Modern Standard Arabic, this course concentrates on all four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Beginning with the study of Arabic script and sound, students will complete the Georgetown text Alif Baa and finish Chapter 15 in Al Kitaab Book I by the end of the academic year. Students will acquire vocabulary and usage for everyday interactions as well as skills that will allow them to read and analyze a range of texts.

A duet form of movement improvisation. The technique focuses on work with gravity, weight support, balance, inner sensation and touch, to develop spontaneous fluidity of movement in relation to a partner. Prerequisite: at least one previous dance technique course or permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 10. (E)

Admission to special studies is by permission of the department. (E)
Variable credit 1-4.

In this laboratory complement to ENV 201, students use a variety of methods to gather and analyze different types of environmental data (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, spatial). Enrollment limited to 18. Q

This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to introduce students to fundamental theoretical principles and analysis of mechanics of continuous media, including solids and fluids. Concepts and topics to be covered in this course include conservation laws, static and dynamic behavior of rigid bodies, analysis of machines and frames, internal forces, centroids, moment of inertia, vibrations and an introduction to stress and strain. Prerequisites: PHY 117, MTH 112 (or the equivalent). Required laboratory taken once a week. Enrollment limit of 20 students.
