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.

JAPN 102: Elementary Japanese II

Continuation of JAPN 101. Emphasizes aural comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. Students learn approximately 100 new kanji characters. Recommended preparation: JAPN 101.

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.

SPAN 102: Elementary Spanish II

SPAN 202: Intermediate Spanish II

This course is an intermediate language course with a focus on advanced grammar and conversation. The student must be equipped with a fair amount of grammatical proficiency that includes knowing the differences between preterit and imperfect, the indicative and subjunctive moods (both present and imperfect), conditional and future tenses and the imperative and present perfect. This course will introduce the learner to more advanced compound verb constructions such as the present perfect (both in the indicative and subjunctive) and the pluperfect, the future perfect, conditional perfect and pluperfect subjunctive. Students will learn how to accurately construct ‘si clauses’, the passive voice and ‘se’ constructions, as well as know the difference between resultant and passive states. Along with other advanced grammar topics, this course will help the student to critically think about real world topics such as film and entertainment, work and finances, urban and rural life, music, musical instruments and literature. Students will develop better articulation of their opinions, perspectives and commentary in Spanish; both verbally and written. The course will also explore the cultural traditions, customs and diversity shared by the people of countries in which Spanish is spoken. Students will acquire some knowledge and appreciation of Spanish-speaking authors and literature, while learning the differences between narrative, biographical, argumentative and descriptive texts. This course will also help students to build confidence to deliver oral presentations in Spanish regarding different cultural topics. The course is taught completely in Spanish. Prereq: SPAN 201.
