ARW350 - Academic Research and Writing II

ARW 350 builds on ARW 250 by reinforcing and further developing the skills required for writing research essays and other academic papers. The course helps students to develop a strong command of APA formatting and citation style, and deepens and refines the analytical skills that students will need to engage with increasingly complex academic and theoretical texts in a variety of liberal arts and social science fields. Students will continue to practice the steps of the research and writing process introduced in ARW 250, and will be introduced to the literature review as a method of situating their research within a broader scholarly discourse. Oral communication skills are also addressed, and students will share their research in brief presentations.

HUM301 extends the themes and chronology introduced in HUM100 and HUM200 beginning with the 16th-century Reformation and extending to the 18th-century Enlightenment. The course focuses in particular on the impact of the Protestant Reformation and religious warfare during the 16th and 17th Centuries; the development of centralized monarchies and nation states; the period beginning in the 15th Century of European exploration, expansion, and colonization; the effects of early capitalism on traditional society; and the influence of the 17th-century Scientific Revolution and the 18th-century Enlightenment on European thought, culture, and politics. The multi-disciplinary approach, with its variety of lecturing faculty members, continues in HUM301 but places additional emphasis on a social history approach. Upon completing HUM301, students will be familiar with the elements that laid the foundation of the modern world.

YKL100 - Introduction to World Literature I

YKL 100 begins the journey through world literature by examining several classic literary works from the ancient period to the 17th century. Texts from these periods primarily reflect three foundational genres (epic, drama, and poetry). The principal intent of the course, then, is to acquaint students with seminal writings, while encouraging the development of the close reading skills and critical vocabulary necessary to understanding and discussing literature. Thematic connections across cultures and time periods will be explored, including questions about the presentation of human nature and relationships, and the relationship between reality and myth. The ways in which these texts both reflect and transcend their historical context will also be investigated.
