Prerequisite: CHEM 2443 (Honors or non-Honors)
The material in Honors CHEM 2444 is much like that in the non-Honors sections of CHEM 2444, but it will go into more detail on various topics. It is also taught differently, with class periods dedicated to discussion and practice problems. Additional support is available from a graduate teaching assistant and undergraduate peer mentors.

Prerequisite: CHEM 1147Q. If you took CHEM 1127Q or 1137Q and would like to enroll in CHEM 1148Q, email Prof. Seery for permission.
This Honors version of CHEM 1128Q will complete the general chemistry sequence for any science major and for pre-med/pre-dent requirements.
CHEM 1148Q has a smaller lecture section than CHEM 1128Q. and it requires more personal initiative in the laboratory assignments. It also uses some calculus, compared to the algebra used in CHEM 1128Q.

Introductory biology course covering topics from both molecular & cell biology and physiology & neurobiology. Intended for students who will continue into higher level science courses.
The Honors version is designed for students who will be conducting research in biology, so it is more interdisciplinary (basic chemistry) and inquiry-based, and the lab will expose students to a wider range of topics and techniques. To help prepare you for your first research position, the Honors version makes greater use of primary literature and includes more of the tools used in MCB/PNB research labs.

The use of music for political ends has a long history, but the relationship between popular songs and political institutions, ideas, and movements has become more prevalent in the 20th and 21st centuries. In this course, you will explore influential political theories from the modern era and the relationships of those theories to musical genres such as hip-hop, pop, punk, reggae, folk, and rock. You and your classmates will also conduct original research examining the connections between the lyrics of popular songs and ideas about the state of nature, classical liberalism, feminism, racial equality, communism, anarchism, and conservatism. This interdisciplinary course draws upon normative political theory, empirical political science, psychology, communications, musicology, ethnomusicology, masculinity studies, and public ethics.

What does it mean to “see” Muslims in the world today? What happens when we study Islam and Muslims not from a Western-centric lens, but from the perspectives of diaspora, lived experience, and decolonial critique? How do we recognize and challenge anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia? How do gender, sexuality, and youth culture shape Muslim identities? How do colonial histories, global power structures, and contemporary politics shape how Muslims are represented and how they represent themselves? Let’s find out together!
This course introduces Critical Muslim Studies as an interdisciplinary field that explores Muslim lives in local and global contexts – with emphasis on local Connecticut communities. Students will examine orientalism, anti-Muslim racism, Islamophobia, and the politics of identity through lenses of gender, sexuality, and youth culture. Through readings, discussion, and creative assignments—including an op-ed, short presentation, and zine—students will gain tools to analyze power, representation, and resistance in the making of Muslim futures.
Note: Honors students will be able to enroll directly. Students not in Honors* can request a permission number by emailing honors@uconn.edu and including (1) your name; (2) your 7-digit Student Admin number; (3) your registration “pick time”; (4) the course number and section; (5) the class number from Student Admin; and (6) confirmation that there are seats available in the course.
*All students taking this course will follow the Honors Core syllabus and will receive Honors credit if they earn a B- or above in the course, regardless of whether or not they are in the Honors Program. Questions about the course content or structure should be directed to Professor Rahman via email: qazi_arka.rahman@uconn.edu

Prerequisites: POLS 1602, and one of POLS 2607, 2622, 3603WQ, 3604, 3606, 3608, 3612, 3613, or 3625/PP 3030, or instructor consent

This course gives students opportunities to hone their political skills and begin to build a political network. It differs from other courses that feature discussions of various aspects of campaigning, including strategy; fundraising; polling voter targeting; communications; and mobilization.
In this new course, students will work with members of their campaign organization to compete in a (mock) special election for Congress. Each campaign will formulate a strategy; design fundraising materials and a website; develop a message; create TV, social media, direct mail, and other advertisements; participate in a candidate debate; and carry out other electioneering activities.
Class meetings will feature briefings by candidates, strategists, pollsters, fundraisers, communication experts, and political consultants with expertise in other areas. Class time will be reserved for students to work on their campaigns. Students also will meet with each other outside of class
