Nonlinear Dynamical Systems — MAT4127.01

Instructor: Katie Montovan
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

Differential equations are a powerful and pervasive mathematical tool in the sciences and are fundamental in pure mathematics as well. Almost every system whose components interact continuously over time can be modeled by a differential equation, and differential equation models and analyses of these systems are common in the literature in many fields including physics, ecology, biology, astronomy, and economics.

Vampire as Cultural Critic — CUR4401.01

Instructor: Anne Thompson
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

This seminar explores the cinematic vampire as a symbolic curator, critic, and connoisseur, one who collects, consumes, and reflects cultural concerns. Through films paired with philosophical and critical texts, we examine how vampires serve as mirrors, archivists, aesthetes, and subversive observers and how filmmakers stylistically foreground or reframe aspects of the vampire mythos.

Scanning Electron Microscopy Research Methods — ES4107.01

Instructor: Tim Schroeder
Days & Time: TU 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 2

Scanning electron microscopes are a fundamental tool in the physical and life sciences. When equipped with an X-Ray spectrometer, a SEM can provide rapid physical and chemical data of specimens on extremely small scales. This class with cover the theory and practical applications of SEM imaging and analysis for advanced science students who have their own research interests. Students will be expected to develop and conduct an independent research project through this class.

Senior Seminar — DAN4802B.01

Instructor: Faculty TBA
Days & Time: TU 2:10pm-4:00pm
Credits: 2

This seminar course explores and enacts multidirectional modes of research in and through dance. The course moves through lectures, workshops and experiments that activate processes of creation/performance and guide each student in the development of a portfolio of documents related to professional practice. Students will create social and public platforms for their research and engage in dialogues related to sustainability, equity, and possibility within the field of dance.

Special Projects in Spanish — SPA4812.01

Instructor: Jonathan Pitcher
Days & Time: MO,TH 10:00am-11:50am
Credits: 4

In lieu of more conventional advanced Spanish classes, paralleling a series of often disparate tutorials, with tutees working in relative isolation, the proposal is to allow students free reign over an idea for a final, term-long project, while concurrently offering them an educated, exoteric audience to assist in fleshing out their work. Faculty will provide key secondary and tertiary reading, common to all, some with immediate relevance to the projects in question, some deemed necessary for any culminating work, but the primary content of these sessions will be student-driven.
