Automatic-W Drop Deadline for FIRST SIX WEEK Summer Classes

You can drop these classes on Onestart using the eDrop system. Just log on to Onestart and click on "Late Drop/Add Classes."

New College "Search Courses" web page is now live!

I just wanted to let you know about a very useful new tool that will allow you search for summer 2012 and fall 2012 courses that fill specific degree requirements (e.g., CASE N&M, Critical Approaches, Culture Studies, and Intensive Writing):  http://college.indiana.edu/undergrad/courses.php.  Hopefully this will be available for future semesters as well.

You can search on multiple attributes at once, so you can look for a course that counts toward both the CASE A&H and CASE GCC Culture Studies requirements, for example.  You could even look for a first or second eight-week course from a specific department that fulfills those requirements. 

An unusual N&M class still open this summer!

Do you have students still seeking a CASE N&M to get ahead this summer?  If they have any propensity for language, suggest LING-L 303 Intro to Linguistic Analysis, 6W2 10:20A-12:10P   MTWR   BH 222:

Linguistics 303 (LING L303) is designed to introduce students to the structure and nature of language through linguistic analysis techniques, as well as the theory and assumptions upon which these analyses are built.  Besides being an introduction to linguistic thought, this class will investigate in depth what goes into an utterance, from the production-related patterns of human language (phonetics and phonology) to patterns of words (syntax) and their parts (morphology).

If you have technology-savvy students, linguistic analysis underlies many of the methods used in the field of natural language processing, a rapidly growing area of information technology.  Anything involving language and computers can be better understood with a background in linguistic analysis.

For your social scientists, this course introduces them to the concept of how language underlies a wide range of human interactions, and understanding how language works provides an important extra perspective on human culture.

PACE-C 300 Citizens in Society: Good Behavior, Bad Behavior in Public Life.

PACE-C 300 is a course offered through the Political Action and Civic Engagement (PACE) Program in the College of Arts & Sciences.  Next semester, the course is tied  to the Themester and is titled Citizens in Society: Good Behavior, Bad Behavior in Public Life. Here is a brief description:

This course considers a range of behaviors used by citizens to advocate and effect change in public life and the effect of those behaviors on our public life. The course will focus on both theory and practice in its consideration of “good” and “bad” public behavior; we will pay particular attention to the relationship between context, intent, action, and outcomes in our analysis and practice of public behavior, especially as they related to the two following themes:

1.       The Information Commons. What is the relationship between anonymity and good and bad behavior with regard to communication between citizens and with regard to the sharing of public knowledge. How does the value of privacy interact with the need for accountability? What would ‘better behavior’ on the internet look like?

2.       The Political Commons. What is the relationship between our electoral system and good and bad behavior in the political sphere? How has the electoral system created certain patterns of behavior, good and bad? What public behaviors are encouraged or curtailed by our electoral system? What would ‘better behavior’ in the electoral process look like?

Though it is a 300-level course, I am hoping that it might be appealing to incoming freshman – and other students-- who want to test the waters in a 300-level course and who are interested in a course related to civic life, political discourse, and behavior on internet.
