Humans share a large percent of our genes with Chimpanzees. Thus far, the number of genes that differ are not enough to describe what makes us human and them apes. In the past two decades, scientists embarked on exciting new research and discovered that the mechanisms that regulate how genes are expressed is much more complicated than our DNA alone. Sections of our DNA are constantly being turned on or off, all in response to on-going cellular activity. These on/off switches may function to mark some DNA as important and easily accessible or dormant and hidden. In the brain, neurons encode or memories and experiences over a lifetime, but neurons and cellular function are, to some extent dynamic. The major questions involve how memories and experiences can persist beyond the lifetimes of synapses and proteins? Epigenetics – changes in gene expression that do not alter the underlying DNA sequence – may be the answer. In this course, we explore the most current research pertaining to epigenetic mechanisms. These mechanisms include DNA methylation and acetylation or methylation of the histone proteins that package DNA are described in the context of animal learning. We will explore how DNA modification may in fact provide a “histone code”. We will specifically focus on understanding of the mechanisms involved with memory disorders caused by normal aging or diseases including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, depression, and drug addiction. There will be no textbook for this course. Student will be expected to read and interpret primary literature and be able to present and discuss the information with the class.

All the food we eat is ultimately derived from other biological organisms, and we have daily direct experience of the biological world through eating, though we don’t usually think of it that way. This course will use the cooking and eating of food as a lens to gain an integrative look at major aspects of biology. Topics will include the transformation of raw ingredients into more appealing and nutritious forms by application of heat or microbial fermentation, food-related health issues such as allergies, sensitivities, and toxicities, and the sensory experience of eating. Students will also have the chance to explore their own food-related interests as they pertain to Biology. This course is taught fully online and will have no in-person meetings, though there will be collaborative work and some synchronous sessions. Prerequisites: BIOL 207, 208, and a minimum grade of C- in BIOL 209, or permission of the instructor.

This is a blended section of BLAW 301 where approximately 50% of course topics will be addressed through face-to-face instruction on scheduled class days. This means that roughly 50% of BLAW 301 topics will be addressed through online and independent learning activities assigned by the instructor. These activities will be completed on students’ own time and in accordance with the class schedule. Homework will be assigned in addition to online and independent learning activities. While this class format will offer students a great deal of flexibility in learning assigned coursework, strong self-directed learning and time management skills will be essential for success. Required class meetings days are May 24, May 31, June 7, June 14, June 21, June 28, July 5, July 12, July 19. While regular attendance of class sessions is expected of all students, students should not and cannot miss any on-campus classes in a blended format course without prior instructor approval. This course provides an examination of the business law rules and principles of particular relevance to entrepreneurship, finance, management, and marketing. Subjects include contracts, negligence, products liability and warranty, sales of goods, intellectual property, employment law, as well as general notions of legal reasoning and legal process and alternative dispute resolution.

This experiential, student-designed course is required of all undergraduate students in the Opus College of Business - both majors and minors. The course embodies the Statement of Purpose of the university to “develop morally responsible individuals who combine career competency...while fostering in the student a tradition of service to the public welfare.” The learning objectives include: 1) providing students the opportunity to experience the necessary partnerships between and among healthy, vital communities and healthy, vital businesses; 2) stretching beyond their current comfort zones, especially in terms of being involved with people different from themselves; 3) providing direct service to a nonprofit while meeting individually established personal learning objectives; and 4) exploring the business dynamics of non-profit organizations. Students are encouraged to complete BUSN 200 either during the second semester of their sophomore year or the first semester of their junior year. Students register for BUSN 200 as they would any other academic course at the university. Students should note that their formal BUSN 200 class meets only four times during the semester and that 100% attendance of those four classes is mandatory to complete BUSN 200 successfully. In addition to the 40 hours of service and four class meetings, students will maintain an online journal of their reflections and learnings, and present a final-reflection creative learning project to their classmates. All BUSN 200 requirements - including the 40 hours of service - are completed within the traditional one-semester structure. Service hours or other assignments from one semester cannot be “rolled over” to the next semester. Thus, students should consider carefully the timing of their decision to participate in BUSN 200 for any given semester. This course is graded S/R. Students can complete BUSN 200 while studying abroad or while away from campus during J-term or summer. Note: London Business students complete their BUSN 200 course while studying in London; students considering participation in this program should wait to complete BUSN 200 until that semester.

This course examines the application of new and emerging technologies in creative and interactive media production and development. Modern audiovisual, music, and interactive projects benefit from the use of creative coding, visual programming environments, microcontrollers, sensors, data visualization, data sonification, automated fabrication, and open source platforms. As technology advances, these tools have become more common, less expensive, and easier to use. Students will put several of these new technologies into practice through a number of assignments including a final project performed or exhibited at the end of the class. A keen sense of curiosity is suggested, but no previous electronics or coding background is required.

This fully online course--which students will be required to participate in six synchronous (live, real-time) discussions throughout the semester--will examine literary texts which feature the connection between the world of business and American culture. Work has always been an integral part of American society, and individuals often identify themselves with the work that they do. Students will closely read a handful of texts--Willa Cather's A LOST LADY, Solomon Northup’s 12 YEARS A SLAVE, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY, Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN, and Colson Whitehead’s APEX HIDES THE HURT--to explore how the dominant cultural narratives behind common perceptions of American business (such as the American Dream and the self-made person) shift from the pre-Civil War era through the early twenty-first century. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.

In this course we will examine a body of work that traffics in such existential themes as freedom and responsibility, authenticity and bad faith, anguish and abandonment, identity and subjectivity, and choice and commitment. While some of our readings will reach beyond our own shores (Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus, Kafka, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, and Kierkegaard), we will mostly focus on works by 20th-century American writers: Palahniuk's FIGHT CLUB, Krakauer's INTO THE WILD, O'Connor's A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND, Baldwin's THE FIRE NEXT TIME, Salinger's The CATCHER IN THE RYE, McCarthy's NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN -- to name but a possible few. In the words of Zadie Smith, we're going to read a selection of very good books in this course, concentrating on whatever is most particular to them in the hope that this might help us understand whatever is most particular to us. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.

We can learn much about ourselves by going out into the wilderness, wherever these “wild” spaces may be found. Pushing into what’s new and moving beyond what’s comfortable can reveal a clearer sense of who we are and what we value. This course explores the relationships formed when individuals step in to unfamiliar places and examines what can be discovered when humans experience various “wilderness” experiences.The literature and film of our course focuses on the idea of internal exploration and discovery gained through challenging experiences, and it considers the influence of so-called “wild” places on individual growth and community action. The course will include the option of a guided 4-day backpacking trip along the Superior Hiking Trail. The writing load for this blended/hybrid course (1/2 in class and 1/2 online) is a minimum of 15 formal revised pages. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.

When writing about war, authors who have served in the military have a few literary options: a memoir, poetry, essays, or a work of fiction. This fully online course will focus on exemplary literature written by those who have been in war and the representation of war through writing. Through literature we will come to understand how the psyche of veterans is altered via warfare and the impact it has on their lives and families, as well as society at large. We will also look at how contemporary culture, and historically, veterans have been received or perceived as they return home and how their voice has been implicit/explicit in understanding their experience with war. In this course we will tease out the reality of war through those voices who tell us just what a "true war story" is. Literature we will likely focus on in this course includes Kurt Vonnegut's SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE, Tim O'Brien's THE THINGS THEY CARRIED, Jim Northrup's THE REZ ROAD, and Ernest Hemingway's A FAREWELL TO ARMS. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Intensive requirement.

How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. This fully online course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major, counts as a second core literature/writing course for students who started that core requirement with ENGL 201, 202, 203, 204, or 206, and satisfies an allied requirement for select business majors.

This course introduces students to how to use visual texts and techniques to communicate in professional settings. As visual forms of communication become more prominent in communication between organizations and communities, it is important to develop an awareness for how images and artifacts are designed. We will discuss the theory behind visual rhetoric and apply it to real-world case studies throughout this second summer session class. By the end of the course, students will know how to do the following: 1) Use visuals to think critically. By thinking visually, we can understand problems and crystalize our ideas; 2) Analyze and interpret visual artifacts. All visuals are rhetorically constructed. Just like we need to read a text closely, we must also rhetorically analyze advertisements, art, memes, etc.; and 3) Create visual materials to help address a local community problem. This course will include a Sustainable Communities Partnership service-learning component. This course satisfies a requirement for English with a Professional Writing majors, English minors, and counts as an allied requirement for select business majors. It also satisfies the Writing Across the Curriculum Writing in the Discipline requirement. Please note that it does not count towards the core literature and writing requirement.
