FIRST-YEAR CHINESE I

This course is the first part of the First-Year Chinese sequence, designed for true beginners with
no prior experience in Mandarin Chinese. Upon successful completion of First-Year Chinese I
and II, students are expected to reach Novice High to Intermediate Low proficiency. At this
level, you will be able to understand, interpret, speak, and write about everyday topics such as
greetings, dining, and exchanging personal information. In addition to language skills, you will
gain an understanding of the cultural products, practices, and perspectives of the Chinese-
speaking world and be able to relate them to your own cultural experiences. As a language
course, it emphasizes immersion: Chinese will be the primary language spoken and heard in the
classroom.
The two-semester sequence of First Year Chinese I and II yearlong sequence (First-Year
Chinese I and II) fulfills the General Education Requirements (GERs) for the language
requirement.

Introduction to Greek Mythology

Intro to Greek Myth

The stories of the Greek and Roman gods and heroes are at the root of countless works of art, philosophy, literature, and film, from antiquity to the present. Many familiar phrases from the English language also derive from myth: an Achilles heel (and Achilles tendon!), a Trojan horse, Pandora’s box, and so forth. This course will introduce you to the broad range of tales that make up the complex and interconnected network of Greek and Roman mythology.

Introduction to Cognitive Science

INTRO TO COGNITIVE SCIENC

The goal of cognitive science — and of this course — is to understand how the mind works. Trying to understand our own minds is perhaps the most ambitious and exciting (and difficult) project in all of science, and this project requires tools drawn from fields including experimental psychology, computer science and artificial intelligence, linguistics, vision science, philosophy, anthropology, behavioral economics, and several varieties of neuroscience (among others). This course will introduce you to the major tools and theories from these areas, as they relate to the study of the mind. We will employ these perspectives while exploring the nature of mental processes such as perception, reasoning, memory, attention, imagery, language, intelligence, decision-making, morality— and even attraction and love. In sum, this course will expose you to cognitive science, the assumptions on which it rests, and many of the most important and fascinating results obtained so far.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE I

Prerequisites: Enrollment limited. Students must also sign up for the corresponding lab course, EESC BC1011, to receive credit.

This class examines the basic principles of environmental science using current local and global environmental news as case studies. Issues covered are climate change, invasive species, water resources, sustainability, etc. A major goal is for students to understand the science behind environmental issues. Readings from the scientific literature, various newspaper articles, magazines and an online textbook are carefully coordinated with the topics. Because of our location, the lab curriculum features studies of the Hudson River and its forested shorelines. The lab is closely paired with the lecture and features hands-on and inquiry-based lab and field studies of statistics, data presentation, writing in the format of a scientific paper, data collection (on land and on the Hudson River), water chemistry, microbiology, microscopic and macroscopic life in the river, birds and plants in Riverside Park, biodiversity on a green roof, local geology, topographical maps, compass use, and museum studies.

Please note:  In order to register for EESC BC1001, students must first register for one of the sections of Environmental Science Lab EESC BC1011 . Students must take both lecture and lab.

FIRST-YEAR WRITING WORKSHOP

First-Year Writing (FYW) Workshop is a four-credit course designed for students who feel they would benefit from extra preparation for the critical reading and writing that you will do at Barnard. FYW and FYW Workshop are equally rigorous -- both courses have the same critical reading and writing goals, and both courses satisfy your First-Year Writing requirement. FYW Workshop, however, meets 3 days per week instead of 2; it is worth 4 credits instead of 3; and the class sizes are smaller. 
FYW Workshop is o
nly offered in the fall semester (not in the spring semester).

Students who are interested in one of the limited number of spaces in FYW Workshop should select "First-Year Writing Workshop" on the First-Year Experience Course Request Form and fill out the accompanying FYW Workshop Questionnaire (the First-Year Dean's Office will email you the form in mid-June).

Physical Education Courses

The Barnard Physical Education Department offers a diverse range of course activities to accommodate student interests and abilities.  Barnard students must complete one Physical Education course during their designated semester in their First Year.  Transfer students must complete one semester of Physical Education by the end of the Junior Year (if their transfer credit evaluation necessitates a PE course).  There are no exemptions from the PE requirement.  Dance technique courses, intercollegiate athletic teams, and some Columbia clubs also fulfill the Physical Education requirement and have different registration procedures.  Students should contact the Physical Education Department Chair with any questions.

Introduction to Environmental Humanities

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course introduces students to key concepts and texts in environmental humanities, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary studies of race, gender, sexuality, capital, nation, and globalization. The course examines the conceptual foundations that support humanistic analyses of environmental issues, climate crisis, and the ethics of justice and care. In turn, this critical analysis can serve as the basis for responding to the urgency of calls for environmental action.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will learn what difference humanistic studies make to understanding environmental issues and climate crisis. The course will prepare students to:


Identify humanistic methods and how they contribute to understanding the world;

Demonstrate critical approaches to reading and representing environments;

Engage ethical questions related to the environment; and

Apply concepts from the course to synthesize the student’s use of humanistic approaches to address urgent environmental questions.
