In this course we will interrogate the space we now know as ?New England? as a land with histories, peoples, and life ways that predate and exceed the former English colonies and the lineaments of the current United States. We will devote our semester to learning about the cultural distinctiveness of the Native peoples of New England--for example, the Mohawk, Mohegan, Abenaki, Wampanoag, and Shaghticoke--and to understanding the historical processes of encounter, adaptation, resistance, and renewal that have characterized Native life in the area for centuries.

Topics course The course will examine the interactions between different forms of African American music and literature. Music and literature will be considered in their historical and cultural contexts. Students will read works of fiction, poetry, and drama that are inspired by black music, as well as theoretical discussions of American popular music and the formation of culture. A key part of the course will be listening to and seeking to understand key examples of several genres of black music, from spirituals and work songs, to blues and jazz, to calypso and beyond.

Offered both semesters each year.

This final course in the chemistry core sequence provides a foundation in the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry that are central to the study of all chemical phenomena. Topics include quantitative treatment of thermochemistry, chemical equilibria, electrochemistry and reaction kinetics. Prerequisite: CHM 111 or equivalent and MTH 111 or equivalent. Enrollment limited to 16 per lab section.

Introduction to a block-structured object oriented high-level programming language. Will cover language syntax and use the language to teach program design, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation. Procedural and data abstraction are introduced. Enrollment limited to 48; 24 per lab section.
