Thus, the curriculum content and processes of analyses are organized around holistic, ill-structured, real world "problems,” simulations, and case studies. These experiences are designed to be of an integrated and multi-layered nature and provide opportunities to discover and apply the Microeconomics concepts from our readings and discussions. In taking this consciously constructivist approach, we integrate other disciplines into the study of Microeconomics. Elements from the fields of psychology, history, political science, and mathematics all have roles to play as we propose resolutions to our Microeconomic problems, case studies, and simulations. SS404 AP Macroeconomics (I) One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Meeting pattern: Two 75-minute evening class meetings. This course offers an opportunity for immersion in both a fascinating discipline and in logical thinking. This immersive process involves not only Macroeconomic theory but investigations into the very essence of the discipline itself through three case studies or strategic problems involving global commodity price movements, designing simulated national Macroeconomic policies for a globalized marketplace environment, and prognostication studies of sustainability. The basic theoretical structures of Macroeconomics, as found in our readings and discussions, are woven through these three experiences during the course. These three experiences are researched within the context of a fourth, trimester-long problem in the simulated trading of financial instruments and strategic commodities in our Paratrade environment. This longer, overarching problem allows us the opportunity to apply recently acquired Macroeconomic theory to a simulated real-world environment. SS406 AP Psychology (I) One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Meeting pattern: Four periods per week. This course provides an introduction to the scientific study of behavior and consciousness. Key topics include the neurobiological basis of behavior, perception, consciousness, learning, memory, and thinking. We also explore motivation, personality, normal and abnormal behavior, psychotherapy, and social factors in behavior. SS410 AP Psychology (II) One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: B or higher grade in SS406 AP Psychology (I). 28
Meeting pattern: Four periods per week. This course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement examination through an in-depth introduction to the scientific study of behavior and consciousness. Key topics include the neurobiological basis of behavior, perception, consciousness, learning, memory, and thinking. We also explore motivation, personality, normal and abnormal behavior, psychotherapy, and social factors in behavior. SS411a /SS411b AP European History Two trimesters Credit: Two units core elective credit. Prerequisite: B or higher grade in AS303 Writing and American Studies or AS305 American Studies or permission of Dean of Humanities. Meeting pattern: Three periods per week including lab. This survey course examines major topics, problems, and events in European history from 1450 to the present. Students analyze a variety of primary sources, print and non-print, as well as interpretive works by modern historians. Emphasis is placed on developing research, writing, and rhetorical skills in preparation for the AP European History examination. Special consideration is given to how and why people – both individuals and groups – in different historical contexts actively shaped their lives, beliefs, and identities. SS412 AP Microeconomics/AP Macroeconomics (II) One trimester Credit: One unit core elective credit. Prerequisite: Successful completion of SS402 AP Microeconomics (I) or SS404 AP Macroeconomics (I) or permission of Dean of Humanities. Meeting pattern: Two 75-minute evening class meetings. This course investigates the dynamics of the contemporary global market system in both a theoretical and an historical context. This is done through three case studies or strategic problems involving a comparison of neo-classical economic theory and alternative economic systems, the economics of ecology and cultural economics. Thus, the course can serve both as an introduction to the study of Economics and as a holistic review for the Advanced Placement examinations in Micro and Macroeconomics. SS420 AP United States History (I) One trimester Credit: One unit additional elective credit. Prerequisite: B or higher grade in AS303a Writing and American Studies or AS305a American Studies or permission of Dean of Humanities. 29
