HON 2750 The Individual in Society

Dr. Beverly King TR 11:00-12:15

Child psychology is the scientific study of changes in behavior and mental processes from conception to the end of adolescence. The study of child psychology involves theories and research on the physical, cognitive, and social development of children. In this course, we will be looking at child psychology from a cross-cultural perspective—studying similarities and differences in a variety of cultures and subcultures, and the influence of culture on the behavior and mental processes of children. One primary focus of the course is uncovering which aspects of child development are universal and which are culture-specific. The course will be divided into four major sections: Basics of investigating cross-cultural child development; Physical development; Socioemotional development; and Cognitive development.

ENG 1060 Composition II: Honors

Dr. Kim Gunter TR 9:30-10:45

Race. Gender. Money. Geography. Politics. In what country do these factors decide who gets the death penalty more than the guilt or innocence of the accused? In the United States. Enroll in this course to learn the facts and figures about capital punishment in today's America. The course includes a field trip to Raleigh's Central Prison and a tour of North Carolina's death row as well as guest speakers and documentary films. Ultimately, students will be charged with defending their positions, be they in favor of or against this most ultimate of state-sanctioned punishments.

ENG 1060 will continue a focus on "place" with particular attention to social justice issues. The course will include a service-learning component through the Center for Community Action. We will do readings on issues relevant to SE North Carolina (worker safety, union-busting, race relations, job loss, substance abuse, domestic violence -- all these things have a social justice component if you think about it), and students will choose an area to explore. Papers will include an argument of definition, a "just the facts" paper, and a problem-solution paper, in addition to the writing for the service-learning project.

PHI 1000 Introduction to Philosophy: Honors

Dr. Jeffery Geller TR 12:30-1: 45

In PHI 100 next semester, we will read and discuss several figures in the Modern period, which saw the rise of science, historical consciousness, and individualism. Modernism for philosophy is different from modernism in art, music, and literature. As opposed to those fields, whose modern periods began around 1900, philosophical Modernism began around 1600 with a challenge to dogmatic beliefs inherited from the Middle Ages. Beginning with such thinkers as Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon, the new period was called by its proponents the Enlightenment. Students will come away with an appreciation of the origins of the Enlightenment, an idea of the variety of thought patterns it generated, and a better understanding of the patterns of thinking characteristic of our time today. At each step along the way, we will cast a critical eye on the ideas we examine. Students will be able to improve their critical thinking skills while also finding out about the historical pedigree of ideas that we often take for granted, ideas like objectivity, democracy, and individual initiative.
