If you are registered for a senior thesis in the fall which must be continued through Winter Study by departmental rules, you will be registered for your Winter Study Project automatically. In every other case, you must complete registration. First- year students are required to participate in a Winter Study that will take place on campus; they are not allowed to do 9. Even if you plan to take a 9. Winter Study to upset your first choice, so you must list five choices. You should try to make one of your choices a project with a larger enrollment, not that it will guarantee you a project, but it will increase your chances. If you think your time may be restricted in any way (ski meets, interviews, etc.), clear these restrictions with the instructor before signing up for his/her project. Remember, for cross- listed projects, you should sign up for the subject you want to appear on your record. For many beginning language courses, you are required to take the WSP Sustaining Program in addition to your regular project. You will be automatically enrolled in this Sustaining Program, so no one should list this as a choice. The grade of honors is reserved for outstanding or exceptional work. Individual instructors may specify minimum standards for the grade, but normally, fewer than one out of ten students will qualify. A grade of pass means the student has performed satisfactorily. A grade of perfunctory pass signifies that a student's work has been significantly lacking but is just adequate to deserve a pass. If you have any questions about a project, see the instructor before you register. Finally, all work for WSP must be completed and submitted to the instructor no later than January 2. Only the Dean can grant an extension beyond this date. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible to propose . Perhaps you have encountered an interesting idea in one of your courses which you would like to study in more depth, or you may have an interest not covered in the regular curriculum.

Audible Imagination: Exploring Sound Across the Arts (Same as RLFR 1. This is a course about sound and its relationship to the visual arts, technology and the environment. We focus on sound art, an interdisciplinary movement that emerged from twentieth- century avant- garde movements. The chief purpose of this course is practical: artists and non- artists will be invited to test the boundaries between art and everyday life, between seeing and hearing, and between noise and music. The first week reviews the fundamentals of sound production: how to make your own microphones, how to record, and how to use basic production software. In the second week, you’ll apply these production techniques in a project of your own design. In the final week, you’ll share your final project with professional sound artists who will visit and perform in our classroom. Class meets twice a week for three hours. Work for the course includes readings (Cage, Oliveros, Schwitters, Westerkamp), weekly online postings to the course blog, two short projects, and final sound project. Method of evaluation: four online posts, two short projects, one short paper (3- to 4- pages), and one final project. Prerequisites: all are welcome. Enrollment limit: 1. Method of selection: preference to Romance Language majors; students in Music, Studio Art, Theatre, and Dance. Meeting times: afternoons. Cost per student: $5. Instructor: Matthew Anderson.

ASTRONOMY/ASTROPHYSICSASTRONOMYASTR 1. A Passion for Planets: Exploring Mars and Pluto (Same as GEOS 1. This course, meant for non- majors, will deal with scientific, historical, and literary aspects of the planets Mars and Pluto. We will look at how the exploration of Mars and Pluto challenged the preconceptions of scientists and the public alike, and shattered paradigms. It will be based on the content of the instructor's book A Passion for Mars: Intrepid Explorers of the Red Planet (2. NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto in 2. Mars: Dreamers and space scientists, engineers and biologists, backyard astronomers and artists have devoted their lives- sometimes at the expense of their careers- to the quest for Mars. Over half a century, they have transformed the Red Planet from a projection of our wildest fantasies into an even more amazing real place of spectacular landscapes, beguiling mysteries, and fantastic possibilities- as an abode for life, and even as a second home for humanity. In A Passion for Mars, Andrew Chaikin, who covered Mars exploration as a science journalist and took part in the first Mars landing, chronicled this epic quest and the enduring dream of going there. Pluto: In 2. 01. 5, NASA’s New Horizons mission gave humans their first close- up look at the much maligned “ninth planet” Pluto. Andrew Chaikin participated in the mission and is now writing a book about the adventure. In this course we will discuss Pluto’s controversial demotion from planetary status by the International Astronomical Union, as well as the incredible scientific discoveries that have been made about this distant, icy world by the New Horizons mission. We will also consider the possibility that there may be thousands planets in our solar system — many of them possibly like Pluto — instead of the 8 planets recognized by the International Astronomical Union. Method of evaluation: quizzes on reading at the beginning of each class; level of class participation; final exam. Prerequisites: none. Enrollment limit: 1. Method of selection: if overenrolled, selection will be on the basis of emailed student description of experience or interest in the topic. Meeting times: afternoons, Tues/Thurs preferred; two 2.

His book A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts (1. Apollo missions. Chaikin is a commentator for National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and is an advisor to NASA on space policy and public communications. A former editor of Sky and Telescope magazine, he has written about astronomy and space exploration for three decades. ASTROPHYSICSASPH 3. Senior Research. To be taken by students registered for Astrophysics 4. GERM 1. 2 Grand Hotel in Film and Fiction (Same as COMP 1. RLFR 1. 5)The grand hotel with its dual promise of luxury and estrangement was considered a theater of social transformations in the age of travel. We will discuss novels, short stories and films that feature the hotel as a space of both class distinction and possible class confusion, of sexual taboo breaking, and gendered performance, and a transnational extension of colonialist oppression. Authors will include Edith Wharton, Thomas Mann, Vicki Baum, Ali Smith, Rick Moody. Films may include: The Last Laugh, Gran Hotel, Grand Hotel Budapest, Anomalisa, Screaming Man, Hotel Sahara, Hotel Rwanda, A Single Girl, Maid in Manhattan. We will also consider short theoretical readings on conspicuous consumption, branding, modernity and metropolitan spaces, and postcoloniality. In the present, hotel dramas focus on issues of the invisible worker, neoliberalism (Anomalisa, Single Girl), or the trauma of civil war and the raced body (Hotel Rwanda, Screaming Man), or cultural alienation and the inability to feel joy (Lost in Translation, Hotels of North America). Comedies explore the fantasy of a dramatic social climb through identity confusion in a hotel setting (Maid in Manhattan), satires highlight the confidence man/trickster who profits from social pretensions (Felix Krull, Grand Hotel). The subcultures of organized crime groups in the countries within Eastern Europe and Mexico, Italy, France, Japan and India manifest striking similarities in their social and political attitudes and folkways. We will examine the ways in which literary and cinematic texts portray the lives of organized crime workers within the international marketplace, and how the presence of such individuals reflect increasingly symbiotic economic relations across the globe. We will also study theories of confessional and postmodernist narratology, in an effort to de- code representations of the criminal self that finds itself trapped in a world driven by the neoliberal economic policies of outsourcing and transnational mergers. Method of evaluation: term paper (1. Prerequisites: none. Enrollment limit: 2. Method of selection: through their position on a wait list. Meeting times: mornings.
