Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8 | 08 | Day | Su 13Summer | This course provides an introduction to the Classical Latin language, that is, the language of the later Roman Republic and the earlier Roman Empire—the language of authors like Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Tacitus. It also prepares one to read Medieval, Renaissance, or Ecclesiastical Latin texts. The principle objective of the course is the development of our ability to read ancient Latin texts as well as you can, as soon as you can. Another considerable benefit is a greater understanding of the vocabulary, grammar, and syntax of related languages, including the prominent spoken languages in the United States, English and Spanish, as well as French and Italian. You will also improve your grasp of the specialized languages of the sciences, law, and philosophy; as such, Latin is a great way to prepare for law school or medical school. Last, but not least, you will acquire the unmistakable sophistication, ,and seductive wit that distinguish the student of the Classics. This intensive summer course constitutes roughly 2/3 of a traditional 3-quarter or two-semester first – year Latin course. At its completion students should have a solid grounding in basic Latin vocabulary, forms, and syntax, and with some additional study, they will soon be able to read texts of moderate difficulty with the help of a dictionary and grammar. | Ulrike Krotscheck | Mon Tue Wed Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Summer | ||||

The calculus curriculum includes all topics typically covered in a first-quarter differential calculus class. The idea of the derivative will be initially approached via average rates of changes and slopes of secant lines and then rigorously defined with limits. Derivatives of all basic functions will be developed qualitatively and rigorously. The emphasis of the class is on using derivatives to model phenomena in the larger world. Extrema, related rates, and optimization will be culminating topics. The program will end with and introduction to anti-derivatives.

Program | FR–SRFreshmen - Senior | 8 | 08 | Day | Su 13Summer | Eliot Aronson, , 2012 In this program, we will explore the fundamentals of social psychology, the field that bridges psychology and sociology, to examine how people think, feel, and behave because of the real (or imagined) presence of social others. This program starts with the premise that human beings are inherently beings—informed, influenced, and constituted by the social world. Using this perspective as a launching-off point, we will investigate everyday life—from the mundane to the extraordinary—as it is lived and experienced by individuals involved in an intricate web of social relationships. This social psychological view of the self explores the ways that individuals are enmeshed and embodied within the social context both in the moment and the long-term, ever constructing who we are, how we present ourselves to the world, and how we are perceived by others. Through lecture, workshop, twice-weekly seminar, film, reading, writing, and research assignments, we will cover most of the fundamental topics within the field including conformity, emotions and sentiments, persuasion and propaganda, obedience to authority, social cognition, attitudes, aggression, attraction, and desire. We will also discuss epistemology (the branch of philosophy concerned with how we know what we know) as we learn about and practice social psychological research methods. | Laura Citrin | Mon Tue Wed Thu | Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR | Summer | ||||
