Bioinformatics is an emerging field in the sciences that arises from interactions between biology, biochemistry, and computational science. The goal of bioinformatics is to find ways to sort, compare, and decode nucleotide and protein sequences to identify underlying similarities and patterns that are biologically relevant. This knowledge of bioinformatics along with the advent of genome sequencing has changed how scientists investigate problems. Instead of looking at how one gene or protein is affected by a particular problem, we now look at how the entire genome (genomics) or the entire organism (proteomics) responds. This course will introduce you to the tools that are available for these types of analyses and how the information gained from these tools is used to generate hypotheses in all areas of biological science. Four laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: Any two 300-level biology course (one of which can be CHEM 440).

This course provides a critical investigation into the quest for meaning and happiness as found in the Catholic tradition. Beginning with fundamental Catholic claims about what it means to be a human being, this course explores the call to beatitude in materials from several disciplines, including theology, philosophy, literature, and art, as well as ancient, medieval, and contemporary sources. Topics explored include a consideration of human persons in relation to divine persons, the supernatural end to human life, the human person as experiencing desire and suffering, the Christian paradox that joy may be found in the giving of one's self, and the search for happiness through friendship and love. Through all these topics, the course particularly examines the question, "What is the specifically unique character of Christian happiness?"

This course examines how writers and artists imagine home—what it means to have it, to lose it, and to create new forms of belonging in unfamiliar places. Through novels, poems, films, personal narratives, and visual texts from around the world, we will explore experiences of migration and displacement and the emotional, political, and cultural transformations they generate. Specifically, we will consider how empire makes and unmakes homes, how leaving home shifts one’s sense of self, and how exile can be both a site of loss and a spark for creative resistance. Our narratives about home will include writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa, James Baldwin, Edwidge Danticat, Toni Morrison, and Warsan Shire, as well as artists and filmmakers Yinka Shonibare and Lulu Wang. Students will engage in close reading, discussion, and creative or analytical projects that connect course materials to their own experiences and contemporary debates about home, identity, and community. Students will also complete a Signature Work essay.

The purpose of this course is to learn how to write effective narrative screenplays, with an emphasis on the creation of short scripts. In order to explore and identify basic dramatic principles of story, character, and structure, we will analyze numerous short scripts and films made from them. We will look at how the dramatic principles of short scripts have been expanded and turned into feature screenplays by exploring the work of various successful contemporary writers and filmmakers. Once we establish the basics of effective screenplays, students will apply these concepts to the development of their own original short scripts. By the end of the semester, students will have written several complete short scripts that are ready to be shot on their own, produced as part of a St. Thomas filmmaking course, or that could be developed further into feature length screenplays. This course counts as a production/practice course for students pursuing the Film Studies major or minor and as an elective course for English majors and minors. Finally, this course also satisfies a WAC Writing in the Discipline requirement. Please note that this course does not count towards the core literature and writing requirement.
