CHEM 400 Integrative Exercise
Three alternatives exist for the department comprehensive exercise. Most students elect to join a discussion group that studies the research of a distinguished chemist or particular research problem in depth. Other students elect to write a long paper based on research in the primary literature, or write a paper expanding on their own research investigations. Most of the work for Chemistry 400 is expected to be accomplished during winter term. Students should enroll for five credits of Chemistry 400 during the winter, receive a “CI” at the end of that term, and then enroll for one credit during the spring, with the final evaluation and grade being awarded during spring term. Chemistry majors will be required to attend at least 10 seminars between the term in which they declare and the end of winter term of their senior year to ensure breadth in the exposure to the ways chemists approach their work.

CLAS 386 Classical Myth: Theory, Function, Afterlife 6 credits
Stories of gods, heroes and monsters were a pervasive part of life in ancient Greece and Rome, integrated into landscape, the built environment and cultural practice from ritual worship to informal storytelling, and they have retained their power to fascinate through subsequent eras.

This course focuses on the foundational principles necessary to understand the ecology and conservation of savanna ecosystems in northern Tanzania, and the important roles that people and protected areas play within them. The course is based on the premise that a thorough understanding of Tanzania’s ecosystems and the challenges facing them cannot be achieved without understanding the human and political contexts in which they exist. The course incorporates primary literature, frequent guest lecturers, stakeholder interactions and student-facilitated discussions. The experiential, site-based approach allows students to gain insight into the practical application of ecological concepts in monitoring and maintaining savanna ecosystems.

IDSC 121 Entrepreneurship and the Liberal Arts 1 credits
Careers in entrepreneurship naturally connect to a liberal arts education in at least two ways. First, whether for-profit or social, startup ventures arise as solutions to complex problems. By focusing on alternate ways of thinking, the liberal arts prepare students to generate new solutions to problems of all sorts. Second, the work of the entrepreneur transcends disciplinary boundaries. In any given day, the needs of a business may involve the science of product development, political science of regulation, psychology of brand definition, economics of pricing, and more. Through conversations with Carleton alumni and parent entrepreneurs, this class explores the connection between a liberal arts education and work developing startup enterprises.

The course will spiral outward from Turing to include a broader set of topics related to gender and sexuality in computing, ranging from Turing’s era to the present. Specific topics will vary based on the interests of available experts in aspects of gender and computing.

IDSC 280 Learning from Internships 1 credits
This course is intended for students who secure an internship that requires course credit as a condition of hiring. Carleton does not grant credit for internships, but in some appropriate circumstances, we grant credit for additional academic work associated with an internship. Although the specific nature of internship experiences will vary, internships are opportunities to apply and extend one's academic skills and interests into work in non-academic settings. This course will involve carefully monitored work experiences in which a student has intentional learning goals which will be assessed through reflective writing and related readings.
Instructor permission, which will only be granted if the internship is at least 6 weeks and 120 hours, requires enrollment in a credit-bearing activity, and is approved in advance by the Career Center Internship Program Director. You must complete a form and, once approved, submit a registration request to the instructor via Workday. Normally, this course is taken before your internship experience. Permission to enroll will rarely be granted for students who have previously completed this course.

LATN 101 Elementary Latin 6 credits
While many claims are made about the benefits of learning Latin, here’s what we know for sure: it’s a beautiful language, both intensely precise and rigorous, as well as poetically expressive and inviting. Spoken by millions in the ancient world and kept continuously “alive” up to the present, Latin provides a window onto an intellectual and cultural landscape that is both foreign and familiar to modern students. This beginning course will develop necessary vocabulary, forms, and grammar that allows students to begin reading short passages of unadulterated prose and poetry from the ancient Roman world right from the start.

LATN 204 Intermediate Latin Prose and Poetry 6 credits
What are the “rules” of friendship? Would you do anything for a friend? Anything? The ancient Romans were no strangers to the often paradoxical demands of friendship and love. The goal for Intermediate Latin Prose and Poetry is to gain experience in the three major modes of Latin expression most often encountered “in the wild”—prose, poetry, and inscriptions—while exploring the notion of friendship. By combining all three modes into this one course, we hope both to create a suitable closure to the language sequence and to provide a reasonable foundation for further exploration of Roman literature and culture.

Although the concepts covered are applicable to any language, this class focuses primarily on Spanish, often contrasted with cultural and linguistic differences in English regarding conversational styles, speech acts, politeness and verbal interaction in general.

In this course, we will explore the transformations experienced by Madrid, in its adaptation to political, social, and economic change from 1939 onwards. We will pay special attention to the development of urban planning and mobility policies that focus on ecological sustainability and social well-being. The course is a combination of theoretical and practical classes, including tours and visits to places of interest.
