This course offers a theoretical and practical study of the diversity of living organisms and the evolutionary forces that created it. The course examines the form and function of micro-organisms, animals, and plants in terms of their behavioral, physiological, and structural adaptations to habitat, and how these evolved. The course also covers genetics, and how organisms combat attacks from pathogens. Students study biological diversity; gain first-hand experience in the laboratory learning how to handle living organisms; and learn to observe and record accurately and make sensible deductions. There is a particular focus on scientific writing: how to use the scientific literature and assess biological data, how to explain what you have observed, and how to write in good scientific English.

Course Description
The United States, China, and Japan are the world's three leading economies. How they interact has decisively shaped the two Asian powers' developmental trajectories, regional international relations, and the world order. Since the United States became a Pacific power, China and Japan have alternatively been the top U.S. geo-strategic threat and industrial competitor. They have also been allies and partners with the United States in different time periods. After World War II, the United States secured its hegemony in Asia. But that international status quo is increasingly being challenged by the China's return as a central player in Asia. The course examines the patterns and issues in U.S.-China-Japan relations after the U.S. expansion as a Pacific power. Our focus is on the contemporary era since the 1970s. In particular we explore three story lines driving the trilateral relations: U.S. presence and strategy in Asia; the national development of China and Japan and their corresponding foreign policy adjustments; and the impact of China's rise.

Course Description
Much sociological theory has developed to understand the modern – what it is, and how it came about. For this reason, it has tended to focus on a rather narrow range of societies. But sociological theory can be at its most useful when applied to societies that are very different from the current society, by making them understandable according to the same analytical frameworks. This course uses these frameworks to understand the Middle Ages. It explores issues central to social and political relations.
