4cr Animation is a core component of moving image art practice. This course is designed to introduce students to the principles and practices of animation. Through studio assignments, screenings, readings, lectures, discussion, and/or workshops, students will be introduced to this time-based art medium. Depending on the specific topic offered, this will include animations created with 2D drawn (hand or digital), 3D animation, stop motion photography, pixilation, clay, paper, puppets, objects, time-lapse, and other mediums to make engaging characters in unique settings while connecting to a range of storytelling genres. Students will build upon their understanding of digital workflow, file management, production techniques and project planning. The roles of linear and nonlinear, narrative, time-based media will be discussed and considered. This course may be repeated up to three times.

4cr This is a course in biodiversity and culture.  We will explore the local flora and fauna of our travel destinations and learn about the unique adaptations that exist in various niches.  We will explore the evolutionary connections between organisms at each site.  Along the way, we will also learn about the cultural significance of local flora and fauna and the role that these organisms have played in the lives of humans. This course also provides experiential learning in cultural studies.  The course is designed as a Study Tour that includes travel to culturally significant locations (domestic or international).

Prerequisite: None

4cr This laboratory performs state-of-the-art techniques and studies theory involved in the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds while conducting multiple synthetic projects. Techniques used will include air-free synthesis, column chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Synthesis and use of organometallic compounds will also be done. Laboratory, 4 periods per day. Prerequisites: CHM 2080 with C- or better

4 cr This course surveys film movements, industries, and periods of national cinemas that have sought to redefine the dominant ideologies, modes of production, and aesthetics of the cinematic artform from 1895 to the present.

This methods course prepares preservice general educators to effectively teach and support learners with diverse characteristics and needs in the context of the general education classroom. Characteristics of learners with learning and behavioral differences, including those eligible for special education services, are addressed, with additional content on the impact of cultural and language differences on learning. Participants will apply principles of differentiation and universal design in planning whole-class and small-group instruction that involves the integration of technologies and strategy instruction. Procedures used for identifying, assessing, and providing education for children with disabilities, including the roles and responsibilities of regular and special education providers and curriculum modifications are discussed. A field-based project is required.

Prerequisite: EDU 1010
