Foundations of Science

Using modern, student-centered, active and collaborative learning techniques, students will engage — through field observations, in-class experiments, computer simulations, and selected readings — with a range of ideas and techniques designed to integrate and anchor scientific habits of mind. Throughout the term, all students will satisfy a detailed set of rubrics by documenting their learning in reflection postings designed to serve as a future reference for how they, individually, went from not understanding an idea to understanding it. Topics covered will include statistics, basic probability, a variety of calculational skills, graph reading, and estimation — all aimed at elucidating such concepts as energy, matter, cells, and genes in the context of astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, neuroscience, and physics.

employed in this task is the study of atoms and their nuclei which,
through a wide variety of physical and chemical techniques, can be used
to reconstruct quantitatively the past. Following an introduction to
atoms, light, and energy, we will explore topics including the detection
of art forgeries, the precise dating of archeological sites, a
reconstruction of the development of agriculture and the history of the
human diet, the history of past climate (and its implications for the

GRAPHIC NOVEL AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND BIOGRA

GRAPHIC NOVEL AUTOBIO AND

This course explores the generative intersection of text and image in graphic novel autobiographies and biographies, offering students an introduction to literary analysis through one of today's most innovative storytelling forms. Autobiographical and biographical graphic narratives are perhaps the best known and most widely read graphic literary texts, combining words and hand-drawn images to create powerful accounts of personal experience, historical events, trauma, memory, and identity formation. Course readings consist of classic works in the genre—
Maus
 (Spiegelman), 
Fun Home
 (Bechdel), and 
Persepolis
 (Satrapi)—alongside more recent texts—
They Called Us Enemy
 (Takei), 
Baddawi
 (Abdelrazaq), and 
The Best We Could Do
 (Bui). This diverse reading list will expose students to varied artistic styles, narrative approaches, and cultural perspectives, providing a foundation for understanding how graphic storytelling operates across different contexts. The inherent subjectivity of hand-drawn images, as well as the limitations of memory and post-memory, raise important questions about the authority and authenticity of these narratives. By closely analyzing these texts, students will consider how creators have used the medium's unique affordances and what strategies they employ to address its limitations when depicting lived, historical experiences. Class discussions will be supplemented by relevant academic scholarship and contextual materials that creators drew upon in producing their work. Course assignments will consist of short writing assignments, analysis essays, and a creative zine project in which students craft their own personal graphic narratives. The analytical assignments are designed to help students develop multiple competencies: critical analysis skills, visual literacy, and creative expression, while the zine project offers students a hands-on opportunity to experiment with the graphic narrative form, deepening their understanding of how meaning emerges from the interplay of text and image. No prior experience studying graphic novels is required. Graphic Novel Autobiographies and Biographies fulfills Barnard's Arts/Humanities Foundation requirement.

Corequisites: ASCE UN1377 This course provides a survey of Vietnamese civilization from prehistoric origins to the French colonization in the 19th century, with special emphasis on the rise and development of independent kingship over the 2nd millennium CE. We begin by exploring ethnolinguistic diversity of the Red River plain over the first millenium BCE, culminating in the material bronze culture known as the Dong Son. We then turn towards the introduction of high sinitic culture, and the region's long membership within successive Chinese empires. We pay special attention to the rise of an independent state out of the crumbling Tang Dynasty, and the specific nation-building effects of war with the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty, in the 14th and 15th centuries respectively. Our class ends with the French colonization of the region, and the dramatic cultural and intellectual transformations that were triggered as a result. Our course will interrogate Vietnamese culture as a protean object, one that is defined and redefined at virtually every level, throughout a history marked by foreign interest, influence, and invasion.

GENERAL CHEMISTRY I-LECTURES

Corequisites: MATH UN1101 Preparation equivalent to one year of high school chemistry is assumed. Students lacking such preparation should plan independent study of chemistry over the summer or take CHEM UN0001 before taking CHEM UN1403. Topics include stoichiometry, states of matter, nuclear properties, electronic structures of atoms, periodic properties, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, introduction to quantum mechanics and atomic theory, introduction to organic and biological chemistry, solid state and materials science, polymer science and macromolecular structures and coordination chemistry. Although CHEM UN1403 and CHEM UN1404 are separate courses, students are expected to take both terms sequentially. The order of presentation of topics may differ from the order presented here, and from year to year. Students must ensure they register for the recitation that corresponds to the lecture section.

When registering, please add your name to the wait list for the recitation corresponding to the lecture section (1405 for lecture sec 001; 1407 for lecture sec 002; 1409 for lecture sec 003; 1411 for lecture sec 004).  Information about recitation registration will be sent out before classes begin.  DO NOT EMAIL THE INSTRUCTOR. Please check the Directory of Classes for details.
