Instructor: Thomas Seery

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.

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.

Instructor: Clarissa Ceglio

While this is not an Honors course, Prof. Ceglio welcomes Honors students of all majors and would be happy to offer Honors conversions for interested students. Alternatively, Honors students may enroll in the combined graduate section (DMD 5998-001), which will entail additional advanced work.

Recommended pre-requisites waived for Honors students. 

Museums, archives, and other cultural organizations are spaces of digital media experimentation as they seek new ways to communicate ideas, make collections accessible, inspire learning, connect people, and build community. In this class we will undertake a project in partnership with a cultural organization. This will provide immersion in issues of contemporary practice while building collaborative competency in design thinking approaches.

For more information or to receive permission to enroll, email Prof. Ceglio (clarissa.ceglio@uconn.edu).

Prerequisite: ENGL 1007, ENGL 1010, or ENGL 1011

This course emphasizes the role of drama as theater – works written to be performed. In contrast to other forms of literature, drama was created as words to be heard and actions to be seen, three-dimensional and experienced in real time. Through intensive reading of major plays from classical Greek drama to the present, and exploration of differing styles of staging and performance, we will study dramatic genres such as tragedy, comedy, the history play, melodrama, one-act plays, epic theater, and theater of the absurd. By viewing videos of plays in performance and attending at least one production on campus, we will gain familiarity with changing theatrical conventions, including costuming, theater architecture, scenic design, lighting, staging, and acting styles from ancient theater to the present.

Creative options for in-class activities and coursework will explore how plays were originally staged as well as consider the possibilities for staging them today in new cultural, social, and political contexts and new kinds of media. Assignments will include: a group presentation on the staging and performance of a play, with a short paper; a longer comparative paper on tragedy or comedy, or a rewriting of a scene from a play with a commentary on performance; take-home midterm; final exam; class discussion participation; and a review of an on-campus performance.

Prerequisites: MATH 1131Q & 1132Q

Students in this section will complete the standard course components, including the regular weekly discussion, and attend an additional weekly meeting led by their TA. During this additional meeting, students will work in groups on activities and projects that may include using online graphing tools to visualize three-dimensional objects, investigating course concepts with physical models, and exploring connections to other fields. These experiences will help students deepen their understanding of multivariable calculus and explore its applications.
