Course Description
This course reviews the classical understanding of space, time, and motion: the fundamental physical principles that underpin modern physics. It provides an overview of classical mechanics, looking at kinematics, dynamics, rotational motion; dynamics of a rigid body, the gyroscope, gravity, and planetary orbits. The course explores oscillatory phenomena and wave motion, which occur throughout nature in fields from biology to quantum mechanics. Topics include the 1D wave equation; free, damped, forced, and coupled oscillations; resonance and driven simple harmonic motion; calculations of normal modes for coupled oscillators; waves in linear media including gases and solids; dispersion, phase, and group velocity; interference, beats, and standing waves; simple diffraction phenomena; and the Doppler effect in sound and light.

Course Description
How to perform Shakespeare has been one of the most enduring and ideologically fraught struggles in modern British theater production. This course provides a practical laboratory in which students explore modes of performance that illuminate the theatrical work in performance, while preserving its historical strangeness. Students practice performing text from Shakespeare's plays, drawing on the contemporary understanding of the conditions of English Renaissance production and experimental performance techniques of the 20th and 21st centuries. Students learn techniques of performing rhetorical gesture, improvisation, flirting and showing off, talking to the audience, audio feeds, part-scripts, textual muddles, obscenity, and cross-dressing. The emphasis of the course is on finding viable and intellectually rigorous modes of performance that challenge the dominant naturalistic modes that operate in most British theater production.

Course Description
This course explores the field of queer studies using a range of material in different media that represents a diversity of LGBTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer/questioning) experience since 1900. Writers and artists over the last century have produced work that has unsettled sex and gender binaries and challenged normative gendered constructions of the body, the family, community, race, and the nation. Students consider how such work has queered the past and explored alternative futures, laying claim to new possibilities for cultural production, politics, and embodied subjectivity.
