Students enrolled in this course attend weekly pedagogy sessions led by the instructors and facilitate a weekly PLTL session (1 hour) for a pre-assigned group of 8 to 10 students from CHEM 111 or CHEM 112. This course trains students to become effective leaders for Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) groups in the large enrollment general chemistry courses. The weekly pedagogy sessions will equip students with collaborative learning strategies, group facilitation techniques, leadership skills, and communication skills.

Globalization promised us a more cohesive and integrated world, the spread of democracy and greater equality. However, increasingly evident are deepening social divisions and conflict, staggering inequality, and democracy at risk. How should we make sense of the contradictions of globalization? What are its consequences for economy and society? What is neoliberalism and how does it relate to globalization? How have globalization and neoliberalism transformed education policy and practice the world over?

An integrating core experience for doctoral students focusing on international education. Current issues and areas of competency needed in the field.

This course examines the political economy of environmental degradation and environmental protection. Environmental degradation includes both pollution and natural resource depletion. In addition to the neoclassical economic question of how scarce resources are allocated among competing ends (for example, a cleaner environment versus more consumer goods), the course explores the political economy question of how resources are allocated among competing individuals, groups, and classes. The course is divided into three parts. The first explores environmental policy objectives.

The World Wide Web was proposed originally as a collection of static documents inter-connected by hyperlinks. Today, the web has grown into a rich platform, built on a variety of protocols, standards, and programming languages, that aims to replace many of the services traditionally provided by a desktop operating system. This course will study core technologies, concepts, and techniques behind the creation of modern web-based systems and applications. This course satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for CS and INFORM Majors.

In this workshop, students focus on the practical challenges and creative activity of literary translation. During weekly meetings, students discuss each other's translations along with essays on the craft of translation by leading translators, and become familiar with the practicalities of the contemporary world of translation. As students become familiar with the varying views on and descriptions of translation, they develop the ability to talk and write about translators' strategies and choices. Brief oral presentations and regular active participation is a major component of the workshop.

This course explores the emerging critical lens of affect in the fields of literary and cultural studies. We will consider multiple, overlapping, and at times contradictory approaches to affect, including Marxist criticism, the afterlives of Spinoza's Ethics, and feminist scholarship. We will begin by reading an intellectually diverse core of widely-cited affect theorists, considering both the questions that engage them, such as the distinction between affect and emotion, and the vocabularies they employ, including embodiment, intensities, and structures of feeling.

This course introduces the theory, method, and technique of a range of archaeobotanical analyses. We will discuss field methods in archaeobotany, sampling, presentation and interpretation of data, and specific applications such as studies of diet and cuisine, vegetation reconstruction, and fire history. The class combines lectures, seminar discussions, and lab exercises to allow students to gain introductory hands-on archaeobotanical experience alongside the theoretical foundation.
