Introduction to Computer Science 2: Algorithms and Application — CS4384.01

Instructor: Darcy Otto
Days & Time: TU,FR 10:30am-12:20pm
Credits: 4

Introduction to Computer Science 2 continues the design-recipe approach started in Introduction to Computer Science 1. We extend our toolkit from structural recursion into generative recursion, abstraction, and algorithmic problem-solving. Students move beyond simple data definitions to work with more sophisticated structures (trees, graphs, sets, maps) while beginning to reason about program efficiency and resource use.

Special Projects in Advanced Japanese — JPN4801.01

Instructor: Ikuko Yoshida
Days & Time: TU,FR 10:30am-12:20pm
Credits: 4

This course enables students to undertake the research essential for composing their thesis or completing a project within their field of study or area of interest. Enrollment requires the submission of a comprehensive project proposal to Ikuko Yoshida, which must include a project title, a brief description, a list of relevant preparatory courses, and clearly articulated objectives and goals. 

Mini Projects: Dance — DAN4030.01

Instructor: Dana Reitz
Days & Time: TU,FR 10:30am-12:20pm
Credits: 1

This is a laboratory for making a mini dance project that can be developed within the short time frame of 3 weeks, right at the start of the term. Students will be working with others in the class to make, teach, and rehearse selections of movement material, culminating in a project that may be shown in Dance Workshop. This is an opportunity for working with instincts, for finding quick solutions and perhaps creating a base for future work.

After Superflat Directed Project: Nuclear War — VA4407.01

Instructor: Yoko Inoue
Days & Time: FR 10:30AM-12:20PM & FR 2:10PM-4:00PM
Credits: 4

Conducted through research that focuses on the development of Japanese subcultures in the Post World War II period, this course poses various critical inquiries about the effects of nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on contemporary global consumer society, visual culture and the production of art. We will also bring into focus the trauma revisited up on Japanese citizens and creators by the recent nuclear disaster of Fukushima.
