UNIV 100 Course Catalog Fall 2018 Updated: 6-14-18, 4:00 p.m. Page 2 Art & Music Topic: Classical Music of the World Wars Section: H05 CRN#: 24724 Days/Times: MW 02:30 PM - 03:45 PM Room: ANG 132 Instructor: Lim, Chankiat This course explores a rich catalogue of classical music that was impacted by the World Wars. Despite the horror of wars, some of the most powerful and beautiful music was created, at times by necessity, as an outlet for expression, as a mean to escape, and as a tool for healing. The period of the World Wars witnessed the largest immigration within and from Europe since the Napoleonic Wars that included great thinkers, artists, and notable villains. This exchange resulted in a period of tremendous creativity where painters, sculptors, poets, writers, architects, and musicians gathered and interacted in new social settings. We will learn about the diverse selections of classical music repertoire that ranges from works composed during the war years to new works that pay tribute to the devastation of wars as well as their heroes. (No music background is required.) Topic: Design Activism Section: 052 CRN#: 24623 Days/Times: TR 12:30 PM - 01:45 PM Room: JLF 211 Instructor: McClung, Kiwana In this course, we hope to inspire in our students the awareness and anarchical spirit necessary to create positive change through DESIGN. What exactly constitutes the city you live in, and how does it affect YOU? What can YOU do to change it? How can YOU become the generator of beautiful ideas and actions? We will challenge students to go out into the city, observing its conditions with a critical eye. You will engage in a discourse about the built environment and the things within it that are usually taken for granted, then brainstorm ways to make them better. You will document your findings in a journal; a physical record of your semester observations, solutions, and methods of critically analyzing problems. The class will participate in discussions, projects, lectures, and a pop-up community engagement project to identify issues and design solutions to problems we find in our environment. Topic: Design Activism Section: 063 CRN#: 24695 Days/Times: TR 03:30 PM - 04:45 PM Room: JLF 211 Instructor: Young, Sarah In this course, we hope to activate the anarchy necessary to initiate change through DESIGN.

We will challenge you to go out into the campus and the city, take a real look around. We will ask you to critically think about the things that are typically taken for granted to find ways of making them better. You will document your findings in a journal: a physical record of your semester findings, solutions, and ways of critically analyzing problems.

These include concepts of necessity, luxury, sustainability, recycling, environmentalism, economics, and social responsibility. Thoreau was motivated to live deliberately, to challenge the intrinsic nature of living. Current proponents of tiny houses confront consumerism and the necessity of things. Tiny houses question the status quo of expressing wealth through things with the proposition to use what you need rather than what can be afforded.

Springsteen, whose music and lyrics often walk the tightrope between optimism and despair, and several of his albums will provide a common guidepost for students as they explore various literal and abstract elements of the elusive dream: youth (Born to Run), work (Darkness on the Edge of Town), community (The River), evil (Nebraska), patriotism (Born in the USA), marriage (Tunnel of Love), immigration (The Ghost of Tom Joad), grief (The Rising), war (Magic), and religion (Wrecking Ball).

Topic: Wanderlust and Adventure This course looks at the representation of both travelers and the places traveled to in literature from all across the world. Since the course is centered on journeys, it is important to situate texts from not only different geographical areas but also time periods. The expeditions that the characters undertake will be as much physical as mental. Students will be looking at travelling and adventure as a theme from narratives and films around the world— exploring issues of gender, identity, and representation. They will also inquire into the ways in which these themes lend themselves to various genres: poetry, plays, novels and short stories, quest narratives, epics, films, TV shows, art and music. Section: 056 CRN#: 24688 Days/Times: TR 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM Room: CLR 213 Instructor: Acharya, Disha Section: 061 CRN#: 24693 Days/Times: TR 12:30 PM - 01:45 PM Room: CLR 213 Instructor: Acharya, Disha Topic: Women in Medieval France Section: H04 CRN#: 24723 Days/Times: MW 01:00 PM - 02:15 PM Room: HLG 405 Instructor: Wright, Monica The medieval period is among the most misunderstood in history.

In this course, you will learn how pop culture, laws, education, health care, and the media impact women's overall status in society, and about women from all walks of life who are standing up. Along the way, you might surprise yourself and discover your passion. Our focus is women and equality issues because women and girls face barriers and disadvantages everywhere. Every sector can be transformed if women/girls and men/boys are given equal rights. In this class, we will learn about how women continue to be at a disadvantage, how access to basic human rights and protections are still denied to women, and how this negatively effects everyone. We will also look at organizations that support women and how to get involved.

Who exactly were the criminals that the vigilante committees targeted? Were they actual criminals or were they victims of the social, economic, and political divide that developed in the region? Students will read primary and secondary sources to explore the motives behind the Committees and to form their own interpretation of the Vigilante Committees.

UNIV 100 Course Catalog Fall 2018 Updated: 6-14-18, 4:00 p.m. Page 6 Topic: Philosophy & Public Policy This course will consist of two units. In Unit One, students will learn how to reason correctly and think critically. Students will also learn moral theory, as well as psychological biases that motivate and detract from our reasoning. Most people have faith in their beliefs, since they see them as products of their reasoning. More often, however, the inverse holds true. In other words, people find reasons to support the judgments they already hold. As Benjamin Franklin wrote, "So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do." During Unit 2, students will choose a policy that interests them. After having considered all points of view surrounding their chosen policy, students will design and prescribe what they see as the optimal policy.
