Emphasis will be placed on topics relevant to those areas, including atomic theory, bonding, stoichiometry, kinetics, thermodynamics and acid/base chemistry. Theory discussed in lecture will be reinforced through problem-based workshops and labs. This course provides material and hands-on skills to prepare for upper division lab and/or environmental science. Credits awarded: 8 credits in general chemistry with laboratory Genres of PhilosophyCancelled Stephen Beck will be available for summer contracts. For Credit How does the writing style of a philosophical text reflect its substance? Credits awarded: 4 credits in philosophy Geology for Travelers (Individual Contract Study) For Credit Each summer, many students travel to places with interesting/educational physical environments. If you would like to learn more about your destination, including staying here in the Northwest, we can design a contract that will increase your awareness of the processes that shaped that region. The focus can be on any combination of the following: geology, physical geography, hydrology, weather and climate, and how these topics relate to human history. Credit is variable, and can be lower division, upper division or graduate level, depending upon your previous training and interests. This course also provides opportunities for K-12 teachers to earn credits towards an earth science endorsement. Credits awarded: 2 to 16 credits in introductory geology and geology of a specific location (determined by student interest) Geometry For Credit This class is an introduction to both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry suitable for teachers or others interested in gaining a deeper understanding of mathematics and the historical and conceptual evolution of geometrical ideas. The course will concentrate on problem solving and development of mathematical skills with the goal of understanding the major conceptual developments in the history of geometry. Class activities will be primarily reading, problem solving and discussion with lectures as needed. This course is in support of the Masters in Teaching and the Masters in Education programs at Evergreen. Credits awarded: 4 credits in geometry German for Beginners For Credit If you want to learn some basic conversational skills for travel, studies or work in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and other Eastern European countries, then join this beginning course to learn basic vocabulary to introduce yourself, book a room, order a meal, ask directions and make basic conversation with native German speakers. You will also learn about customs and traditions in these countries. Through group participation and role-playing, as well as watching short video scenarios you will become familiar with the vocabulary and basic sentence Credits awarded: 4 credits in German German, Intermediate/Advanced For Credit This course is designed for students whose goal is to improve their conversational and reading comprehension skills. Students will review grammar rules, expand their vocabulary, and will read modern and classic German stories, as well as poetry. They will also watch German movies, listen to music and discuss cultural topics. This course will be taught in German and involves immersion in interactive conversation. Enjoy great progress in just five weeks with a native speaker! This course provides foreign language prerequisites for many graduate programs. Credits awarded: 4 credits in German Global Health For Credit This course draws from medical anthropology, epidemiology and medical history to examine the various efforts by colonial, philanthropic, and global institutions to manage the health of populations living in Asia, Africa and Latin America since the time of European conquest. We will consider how decolonization, modernization, development and feminism have shaped the contemporary field of global health, paying particular attention to the reemergence of infectious diseases, the regulation of reproduction, HIV/AIDS, the political economy of the organ trade and the issue of human rights. This course will provide excellent preparation for students pursuing careers or further studies in health sciences, epidemiology or anthropology.
