Course Description
This course allows students who may have studied works by Joyce in previous courses to reexamine them in relation to the rest of his career, from the short stories in DUBLINERS to his extraordinary experiments with language and representation in FINNEGANS WAKE. Students compare his work with contemporaries from Maupassant and George Moore to Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett. As well as placing his work in its literary contexts, the course also considers his engagement with historical and political questions, from Parnell's influence upon Irish history to the rise of fascism in Europe before the Second World War. Students are encouraged, although not required, to participate in the department's reading group devoted to FINNEGANS WAKE.

Course Description
Computational processes are increasingly being discovered in natural, social, and economic systems as well as typical silicon-based computing devices such as laptops and smartphones. For those with little or no previous computing education, this course develops the necessary understanding and thinking skills so that such systems can be viewed as predictable, understandable, and ultimately controllable. It is valuable in its own right, as an underpinning now required in many other disciplines, and as a foundation for further study in computing science.
