For Credit This is a beginning class in Japanese. It is instructed using dynamic, stress-free, accelerated learning and proficiency-oriented teaching and Total Physical Response methods. Through group participation in games and role-playing, students will become familiar with the vocabulary, basic sentence structures, verb and adjective conjugations and useful daily expressions. There will be strong emphasis on writing and reading of hiragana, the Japanese syllabary, and proper pronunciation. Culture will be presented through video. This is an excellent program to familiarize students with the Japanese language, but is not sequenced with Japanese classes offered during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters. Students who wish to continue in their language studies after this summer are encouraged to enroll in either the first or second quarter of First Year Japanese. Japanese, Third Year
For Credit This class is for students whose goal is to develop their Japanese reading and writing skills to a certifiable level. A strong emphasis will be placed on the study of kanji characters as well as on expanding students' vocabularies. Just Plato
For Credit In the first five weeks we will read, discuss and write about earlier dialogues by Plato, including Euthyphro, Gorgias and Meno. Then we will follow with a close study of Republic. In the second five weeks, we will turn to Phaedrus, Timaeus and Plato's later assessment of his earlier metaphysics. Juvenile Justice
For Credit
Non-Credit | Extended Education Many arguments that oppose tougher penalties for juvenile offenders suggest that juvenile delinquency is a larger issue that must be prevented through communities, families, education and the media. We will explore social and economic influences, positive and negative risk factors, and past and current theories of delinquency and behavior, as well as emerging and promising programs that address prevention. We will study issues that affect recidivism and chronic re-offending, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of social and criminal justice institutions. We will complete our studies by exploring political and economic constructs that shape how we deal (or don't deal) with juvenile crime. Students are expected to participate in one intensive weekend of seminars, films, and workshops; the majority of their studies will be guided through a course website of weekly readings and online assignments, and group or individual research throughout the quarter. |
