We will first learn how to find ideas for stories, and then we will work on developing<br />

those ideas into stories by merging the specific elements of fiction: characterization,<br />

setting, point of view, dialogue, and plot. The workshop will require students to critique<br />

each other and, in turn, to understand the revision process. Students will write several<br />

scenes, two short stories, and revisions of those stories. Additionally, students will keep<br />

a notebook in which they will practice writing techniques as assigned. Students should<br />

budget for photocopying.<br />

Dance<br />

229-00C. INTRODUCTION TO DANCE<br />

11:30 a .m .–12:50 p .m . Daily . 2nd session . Credit, 4 hrs . Radell<br />

Introduction to Dance is an overview of dance as an expressive art form, a symbolic<br />

language, and an integral aspect of world cultures. The course is designed to help students<br />

grasp a range of cultural, aesthetic, and bodily worlds from which dance is born. Course<br />

work enables students to develop intuitive and verbal skills that allow them to articulate<br />

movement and its meaning. This is supported by direct physical experience in various<br />

dance forms, styles, genres, and thoroughly exploring the creative process.<br />

In this course, we learn the basic concepts and methods of microeconomics—the study<br />

of how individual consumers and producers make their decisions and interact in markets<br />

under conditions of perfect and imperfect competition. We also apply these concepts and<br />

methods to a range of economic questions and policy issues. One important set of policy<br />

issues is whether and how markets may fail and whether, when they fail, government<br />

intervention may be needed to correct those failures. Topics covered include demand and<br />

Prerequisites: Mathematics 111 or Mathematics 119 and Economics 101. In this course we<br />

study the economic decisions of consumers and firms, both individually and as participants<br />

in markets. Our goal is to develop a theory that explains why people do what they do.<br />

Along the way we compare markets with other ways of organizing economic activity.<br />

The course covers both classic microeconomic theory and topics such as the economics of<br />

information and game theory.<br />

This is an intermediate-level course in which we will use basic calculus to learn several<br />

different models (in detail) for different macro questions. The main objective of this course<br />

is to help you to understand and explain in economics terms the main macroeconomic<br />

issues discussed in media outlets such as CNN, CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek,<br />

etc. Another objective is to prepare students for upper-level macro courses. Students are<br />

expected to know some basic macro principles and basic calculus from prior courses. The<br />

following questions will be answered in this course: Why did the recent global financial<br />
