Summer Term

BIOL 302: Human Learning and the Brain

CHEM 106: Principles of Chemistry II

Thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium; acid/base chemistry; oxidation and reduction; kinetics; spectroscopy; introduction to nuclear, organic, inorganic, and polymer chemistry.

Prereq: CHEM 105 or CHEM 111.

CHEM 121: Concepts for a Molecular View of Biology II

CHEM 224: Introductory Organic Chemistry II

Continues and extends themes of structure and bonding from CHEM 223 and continues spectroscopy and more complex reaction mechanisms. Includes treatment of aromatic rings, carbonyl compounds, amines, and selected special topics. Prereq: CHEM 223 or CHEM 323.

CHEM 234: Introductory Organic Chemistry Laboratory II

A continuation of CHEM 233, involving multi-step organic synthesis, peptide synthesis, product purification and analysis using sophisticated analytical techniques such as chromatography and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Prereq: CHEM 233. Prereq or Coreq: CHEM 224

HSTY 285: Psychedelics in History

A global exploration of psychedelic drugs, which have been revered, idealized, vilified, banned, and revived, HSTY 285 will look at their use in contexts ranging from indigenous Native American and African cultures, CIA explorations of “mind control,” 20^th century psychotherapy, the 1960s counter-culture, and the current “psychedelic renaissance. How has historical context influenced the experience of these powerful substances? How have they in turn influenced historical context? We will explore ritual, medicinal, and recreational uses of psychedelics, but will also see how those categories can overlap.

PHIL 201: Introduction to Logic

PHYS 116: Introductory Physics II

PHYS 122: General Physics II – Electricity and Magnetism

PSCL 353: Psychology of Learning

The basic methods in the study of learning. The major theories proposed to account for the learning process. Development of the fundamental concepts and principles governing the learning process in both humans and lower animal. Recommended preparation: PSCL 101.

SOCI 203: Human Development: Medical and Social

This course will provide students with an introduction to key concepts, principles, and debates in the field of human development. We will examine how biological and psychological development interact with — and are shaped by — social environments and forces. These can include families, schools, neighborhoods, peer groups, and workplaces, as well as broader forces such as ideology, policy, and culture. We will explore how patterns of human development that have been taken as “normal” in the modern era can differ greatly across societies and through social change.
