Maps have had a tremendous impact on humans and history by conveying important information and messages about spatial data. This course will look at several dimensions of cartography: its history, the understanding of spatial information through maps, techniques of map making, the visual components of maps, and how maps convey messages. The mapmaking process, the selection inherent in that process, and the effects on perceptions by the map user will also be studied.

All children begin life singing, dancing, playing and making art. As we grow up this natural ability to be creative becomes suppressed and often lost. This year-long interdisciplinary program will explore educational models that foster creativity, specifically focusing on the importance of culture and art in education. We will examine various cultural perspectives in contemporary global culture and study cultural transfusions along the historical and contemporary Silk Roads. Our study of international education will include an optional 3-week study in China at the end of winter quarter. Winter quarter will focus on education in early grades. Students’ study of child development will be grounded in observations and community service in local schools. Students will practice expressive arts, including storytelling and puppets, and understand the importance of art, stories, and play in the development and education of the child. We will bridge theory and practice by producing community events and arts festivals throughout the year. Students enrolling for 13 credits will continue attending the 5-credit Beginning Chinese course offered at South Puget Sound Community College, Building 21, Room 106. The additional class hours for Chinese language will be Tuesday and Thursday, 5:15 to 7:30pm. For more information on the 4-credit offering for Travel and Study in China, see below. There will be an information evening for Travel and Study in China on Saturday, Dec 8, 5-6pm in Sem 2 A 1105.

Schedule:

Class Schedule

CRN:

Major areas of study include:

computer science, technology, human cognition and reason, philosophy, the Internet, electronics, communication and language.

What types of problems can be solved by computation? How do humans and computers differ in the types of problems they can solve? What is the future of computing, and will computers evolve an intelligence that includes what we would define as human thought? Can computers learn or create on their own? This course will explore the basics of computer science, how computers work, and their possibilities and limits. The course will include basic programming in Javascript, Web development, introductory computer electronics and other computer science topics. We will then look at how computers will likely affect the way we live, work and relate in the future.

This course will help students develop the skills necessary to successfully engage in seminar discussions in a predominantly privileged classroom setting. Students will gain an understanding of how perception impacts interaction with members of the dominant culture and persons of color, and examine how their own perceptions influence the way they interact with others. Students will learn how to identify triggers to frustration and anger, resolve conflict in a classroom setting, and learn conflict resolution and navigating system skills. Four-credit option requires a group project.

Class Schedule

CRN:

This course applies the rigorous tradition of formal Tibetan dialectic debate as an analytical method to develop critical thinking skills. Dialectic debate is conducted through logical formats and syllogisms to refute assertions based on invalid reasoning and construct tenents supported by valid reasoning. Debate skills are used to increase one’s knowledge through adopting valid concepts and discarding invalid concepts, and also applied as a method to transform one’s afflictive emotions, personality traits and misjudgements towards others that arise in the process of debating interactions. Tibetan debate is lively and creative, with a large collaborative learning component. Students in this program can expect very active seminars as they acquire the physical, mental and verbal agility required to successfully engage in Tibetan debate.
