Topics course In this class, we will study the ways that black essayists negotiate ideas about race through notions of love: what does it mean to figure one?s humanity through the miasma of race; and how is love as a concept and the form of the essay relevant to this figuring? Here, we will think about race intersectionally, as a term that is only meaningful if one notices its invocation of gender, class, sexuality.

Techniques of modern biochemistry: ultraviolet spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry, SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Scatchard analysis, and a project lab on linked enzyme kinetics. Prerequisite: BIO 203. BCH 252 is a prerequisite or must be taken concurrently.

The colloquium represents an interdisciplinary capstone experience for students concentrating in African studies. Drawing on the resources of faculty in the Five College African Studies Council, we will seek to synthesize and productively utilize the Africa-oriented coursework, study abroad, internships, and research experiences of class participants.

Same as MTH 101.

EGR 100 serves as an accessible course for all students, regardless of background or intent to major in engineering. Engineering majors are required to take EGR 100 for the major, however. Those students considering majoring in engineering are strongly encouraged to take EGR 100 in the fall semester. Students will develop a sound understanding of the engineering design process, including problem definition, background research, identification of design criteria, development of metrics and methods for evaluating alternative designs, prototype development, and proof of concept testing.
