This half-credit course traces major trends in Chinese martial arts cinema, including works from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and beyond. We analyze films from multiple angles, including aesthetics, historical context, production, and circulation. We consider how films articulate diverse identities, operating in relation to national and transnational cultural institutions. All films include English subtitles. Film screenings in class Wednesdays 2:10-4:00. Meets during the first half-semester. See ASI-112 Korean Popular Culture for the second half-semester course. Counts as an elective for Film and Digital Media. No prerequisites.

This course will delve more deeply into concepts introduced in CHE 241, emphasizing structural principles, thermodynamics, and kinetics of organometallic systems. Through reviewing recently published literature, we will identify and discuss common motifs that garner research interest within the field. Anaerobic techniques for preparing and characterizing air-sensitive complexes will be introduced, though there will be no scheduled weekly laboratory period. This one-half credit course meets twice a week for the first half of the semester.

This senior capstone course will challenge students with the application of fundamental principles of spectroscopy and chemical instrumentation to the field of chemical imaging. Chemical imaging is an ever-expanding area of advanced research, and this course will focus primarily on Raman spectroscopy-based and mass-spectrometry based methods applied to a wide variety of analytes, from tissues analysis to pharmaceutical manufacturing. In-depth exploration of these topics will connect overarching themes in the major and provide a powerful launching point for written comprehensive exam preparation. Critical engagement with the primary literature and diverse modes of oral and written presentation will be emphasized. This one-half credit course is required of all chemistry majors and meets twice each week for the first half of the semester. Instructor permission required for enrollment.

COVID-19, a novel coronavirus, produces flu-like symptoms in many individuals, and has been a major health risk globally since 2020. During the pandemic, the risk of mortality and stress on medical infrastructure were the primary public health concerns. However, even for individuals who experience mild COVID or recover after a COVID infection, many will experience a range of symptoms such as fatigue, loss of smell, 'brain fog', etc., which suggest an impact of COVID-19 on the nervous system. As COVID-19 infections continue, a better understanding of the effects of COVID-19 on the brain will be a critical part of the effort to reduce the burden and suffering associated with this condition. In this course, we will consider the neurological impacts of COVID-19, including long COVID, and the state of current research into treatments and prevention strategies. 1st half semester PSY-310-01=GHL-310-02=NSC-310-01

1st half semester course Are religion and science in conflict with each other? In agreement? How or why, one way or the other? These are our questions. We'll do two main things in this course. First, we'll take a careful look at the different "ways of knowing" that are characteristic of science and religion, respectively. Second, we'll look at several models for thinking critically and responsibly about how they are related. Readings will include selections from Bertolt Brecht, Alan Lightman, Jacob Bronowski, Adam Frank, and others, as well as some classic texts in the history of science.

Research shows that most Americans get their news from social media at the same time we know that misinformation runs rampant on those platforms. In a society built on the principle of free speech, how do we ensure that the information we receive is reliable? This course engages communication scholarship that explores the nature and scope of misinformation, prominent case studies, and media literacy tactics that students can implement to guard against misinformation. Students will generate several short assignments with the possibility of creating a public information campaign. 1st half semester course
