HON 120-300 Survey of Biological Research, Dr. Tom Shafer In this research seminar, you will learn basic approaches to beginning research and scholarship in biology, such as data base searching and locating journals. You will also meet with various UNCW biology faculty and tour their labs. You will also develop a presentation that explores possibilities for conducting research in biology. This seminar is especially appropriate for second year honors students who plan to declare biology or marine biology as a major.
HON 120-301 Jewish Holocaust, Dr. Samuel Murrell (FALL LYCEUM ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY) In this course you will study specific aspects of the Jewish Holocaust as a historical, social, and political phenomenon in modern Europe, and its impact on modern culture. The course involves analysis and discussion of literature and movies, and will include field trips. Requirements: Readings, class discussion/debate, group presentation, and participation in the Fall Break Honors Lyceum to Washington, DC.
HON 210-300: Searching for the Southern Identity: The Myth and the Reality, Ms. Nan Graham Is the Southerner disappearing… the new vanishing American? Is the South becoming so homogenized that its once unique distinctions are evaporating? The class will explore who the Southerner was in the past and who (she) is in the rapidly changing world today. The class will view and analyze selected Southern films, essays and short stories to identify the variety of characteristics of the Sotherner…as seen by the outsider and s perceived by fellow Southerners. We will determine, if possible, the nature of this creature on the endangered species list. Texts will include Minding the South by John Sheldon Reed, Cathedrals in Kudzu by Hal Crowther, and Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horwitz, as well as current newspaper articles. Class discussion on our findings in the assigned readings will be the backbone of the class. Students will keep a journal on interviews conducted during the semester and work on one film presentations as a group project.
HON 210-301: Musical Languages: Sonidos in Espanol, Drs. Valerie Rider and Dan Johnson The content of this interdisciplinary seminar consists of three parts: the rudiments of music, second-year Spanish grammar and vocabulary, and an exploration of the musical qualities inherent to the Spanish language. The objectives of this seminar are three-fold: (1) to learn fundamental concepts and terms in music; (2) to develop Spanish language skills; and (3) to explore the inherent musical quality of the Spanish language. Expectations for this course include participation in classroom musical and linguistic activities. Additional expectations may include attendance at concerts and other performances as part of this seminar. PRE-REQUISITE: SPN 120 or higher.

HON 210-303: Historical Geography of American Race Relations, Dr. Elizabeth Hines This seminar will examine American race relations between whites and African Americans from the colonial period to the present. Assigned texts, reserved readings, and class discussions will form the foundation for the examination of the spatial and temporal aspects of slavery, Reconstruction and “Redemption,” the “Jim Crow” era, the Civil Rights era, the modern period, and consideration of future race relations. In addition to class discussions, each student will conduct a research project which will be shared with the class in a presentation an finalized as a research paper.
ARH 202-300: Renaissance through Early Modern Art, Dr. John Myers A survey of art from the Renaissance through the early modern period with an emphasis on major artistic developments in their historical and cultural context. This course will explore art from the beginnings of the Renaissance in Italy through the late 19th century phenomena of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in a seminar setting with an emphasis on class discussion. In this honors section, emphasis will be placed on reading primary sources in translation as well as scholarly writings on periods and objects under study. Evaluation methods will include student led discussion, periodic quizzes, written reactions to readings, and a project/paper which examines some aspect of a specific period in art history or an individual object in its historical and cultural context
BIO 204-300: Principles of Biology: Cells, Dr. Tom Shafer Introduction to principles governing living systems, especially the cellular and molecular basis of life and the transmission and utilization of genetic information. Laboratory exercises reinforce concepts represented in lecture and introduce basic investigative skills and methods of biological inquiry. Designed primarily for biology majors.
CHM 101-300, CHML 101 : Honors General Chemistry, Dr Mike Messina Course Description: The course will cover fundamental laws, principals, and theories of chemistry and a study of selected elements and compounds. The lab includes an introduction to techniques and equipment in the chemistry laboratory and interpretation of experimental results. Quantitative and qualitative analysis included.
ECN 221-300: Honors Principles of Economics-Micro, Dr. Steve Robinson Prerequisite: MAT 111. Analysis of decision-making processes and economic equilibrium for the individual firm and consumer at an introductory level.
ENG 103-300: College Writing and Reading (Advanced), Dr. Jo Ann Seiple Prerequisite: Special competence demonstrated in English placement test, Advanced Placement test, or CLEP test. College-level writing and reading for advanced students. Extensive practice in composing processes and in gathering, analyzing, synthesizing, and documenting information from sources.
ENG 290-300: Literature and the Environment, Dr. Dan Noland This class will be a seminar-style discussion of mostly non-fiction texts that concern themselves with the problematic relationships between humans and the non-human natural world. Selections will include those written by such historically acclaimed writer-naturalists as Henry David Thoreau, William Bartram, Aldo Leopold, Barry Lopez, Wendell Berry, Rachel Carson, Edward Abbey and David Quammen. Evaluative opportunities will consist of 1-page responses, two shortish papers, a project and, perhaps most importantly, class participation.
EVS 195-300: Introduction to Environmental Science An interdisciplinary introduction to the scope and application of environmental studies. Emphasis will be placed on an integrated analysis of environmental principles and discussions centering on current environmental problems. You will be responsible for learning a certain amount of terminology for this course. The course goal is to give you a knowledge base sufficient to understand everyday environmental issues that will affect you now and after you leave the University. Students will be required to keep an Environmental Notebook of newspaper articles, lead a class discussion, participate in an Environmental Fair Group Project, write an independent research paper, and take midterm and final exams.
GLY 150-300: Introduction to Oceanography, Dr. Lew Abrams An introduction to the geology, physics, chemistry and biology of the ocean; instruments and techniques of oceanography; resources of the ocean.
HST 103-300: Global History (since 1500), Dr. Andrew Clark In this course, we will attempt to correct existing Euro-centric biases for understanding global history since 1500. The course will focus on global developments in the so-called “Non-Western or Third World,” which contains a majority of the world’s populations. Rather than a survey of individual world societies and civilizations, or a course in multi-culturalism, our point of departure will be the interdependence and interconnectedness of civilizations, peoples, and continents, with their common and divergent historical experiences. Students should gain a grasp of major developments in global history since 1500, as well as an understanding of current issues and debates in a global context. The course will include readings, lectures and audio/visual presentations, as well as recent material on the Middle East, radical Islam around the world, and global terrorism.
MAT 161: Calculus with Analytic Geometry I In this first course of the calculus sequence, we will examine some of the foundational ideas of the calculus. These basic ideas include function, limit, continuity, derivative, and integral. We will see along the way that the calculus can be effectively applied to give one insight into how changes in a given quantity are related to changes in a dependent quantity. Examples of these applications will be drawn from such diverse fields as physics, astronomy, biology, chemistry, business, and medicine. The purpose of the honors component of this course is to foster a discursive forum on historical motivations of the calculus as well as to provide an exploratory setting for application of the calculus to investigating solutions of nontrivial problems arising in the sciences and humanities.
PAR 115-300: Bio Ethics, Dr. Candace Gauthier In this course students will explore the ethical questions raised in the delivery of health care and medical research. Students will study and apply a number of ethical theories and ethical principles that are particularly relevant to the issues of bioethics. They will read and critically analyze articles, court cases, and government reports that present arguments on both sides of these controversial questions. Through research and writing papers, presentations, and open discussion, students will develop and defend their own views on these important ethical issues. In the Honors Bioethics course, students will benefit particularly from the increased level of involvement and discussion, as they take responsibility for presenting the arguments found in the readings and for facilitating discussion with the whole class.
PHY 201-300: Introduction to Physics, Dr. Tim Black PHY 201 –325 Lab: Introduction to Physics, Dr. Tim Black Physics 201 is the calculus-based introductory course that serves as the principal point of entry for students who intend to major in physics and is recommended for students planning to pursue an advanced degree in another scientific or mathematical field. The purpose of this honors section of lab is to acquaint students with the fundamental aspects of measurement science and experimental practice at a level appropriate to students contemplating advanced study in a scientific discipline. In addition to observing and measuring some physical phenomena, this honors physics lab will analyze how the equipment actually measures the phenomena in question and will pursue detailed analysis and interpretation of the experimental results.
PSY 105-300: General Psychology, Dr. Bill Overman This course will cover principals of psychology with emphasis on scientific methods used in the study of human behavior. Particularly emphasized is the brain and behavior, and how the brain functions in learning, memory, decision-making, perception, personality, and abnormal psychological states such as depression and schizophrenia.
PSY 220-300: Honors Child Psychology, Dr. Simone Nguyen Pre-requisite: PSY 105. This course will explore constancy and change in humans from conception to adolescence. There will be discussion on several topics related to the physical, cognitive, and social developments which occur during this period of life. Current methodology and research in child psychology will also be studied. In addition to the textbook, reading of primary sources, especially current research articles will be required. Students’ performance in the class will be assessed through exams, quizzes, discussion, and a research project/paper.
SOC 105-300: Intro to Sociology, Dr. Anita Veit The course will focus on subcultures and countercultures, those groups within a society which, to varying degrees, set themselves apart from or against the culture of the main society. The class will study groups as diverse as the militia movement, riot grrrls, the Amish, and surfers. Each student will have the chance to research one subculture or counterculture in depth.
SPN 201-300: Intermediate Spanish, Dr. Valerie Rider This course will be a seminar approach to speaking, reading, and writing Spanish for honors students who have basic competency in the language.
HON 121: Introduction to Theatre, Dr. Tom Glynn This course approaches the appreciation of theatre through an understanding of its artistic elements, history, dramatic literature, and audience involvement. The study of these components will be achieved primarily through an examination of the literature of world theatre. Ten play will be read from the perspectives of how playwright, audience, actor and designers collaborate in the creation of the social act of theatre. Plays will be selected from The Compact Bedford Introduction to Drama. The class will be taught using a seminar format in which students will be required to lead discussions on assigned topics. Students will also be required to see university theatre productions, write critical essays, take quizzes and examinations, and to create theatre through practical exercises in either acting, directing, or designing.
