    psci 100: inbtroduction to american government and politics<\/h4>\n

    this course introduces students to the american political system. the primary focus is on the operation of our national government. not only will we examine how the formal institutions of government work, such as the congress, the presidency, and the supreme court, but we will also consider the informal institutions, such as public opinion, political parties, and the mass media. the underlying theme of this course concerns whether the united states is a democracy. this is the \u201cbig\u201d question in the course. most americans just assume we are democratic. certainly our leaders claim we are the greatest democracy in the world and in fact have gone to great efforts to spread our approach to government to other countries. but are we democratic? the answer, as you will see, is open to debate. this class provides, in effect, a chance to have that debate.<\/p>\n

    hart 232 modern architecture<\/h4>\n

    this course is an in-depth study of important developments in the history of architecture from the early 19th century to the present. works of architecture will be considered as objects of intellectual and physical labor that can be studied for information about the historical period of their production. in addition to buildings, we will take architecture to include theory, drawings, unbuilt architecture, city planning, and ways in which architectural ideas are used in non-architectural media. formal analysis and a social historical approach will address questions such as: why was this building constructed? whose purpose did it serve? how was it received in its own time? how does a consideration of its style help to answer the previous questions? emphasis will be placed on relationships between style and content, and in turn to general historical conditions. the course intends to demonstrate that architectural production, as other forms of human behavior, can yield meaningful information about the historical process.<\/p>\n
