2010-2011 FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE
The five undergraduate Claremont Colleges share a final exam schedule. Examination times for “arranged” classes, as well as for classes which meet at times different from
the Standard Class Times must be scheduled by mutual agreement of the instructor and the students. Classroom space must also be specially arranged.
Final examinations will be in the same rooms assigned for regular class work unless other arrangements are made with the Registrar's Office. In the event that another room is
used, the instructor will announce the change.
To be counted as work completed in the course, all papers, reports, drawings, and other assigned material must be submitted to instructors before the scheduled date of the final
examination, unless an earlier deadline is given.
TO READ THIS SCHEDULE: If the class meets TR 9:35 during the spring semester, the final exam will be held on Friday, May 13, at 9:00 a.m.
Graduating Seniors: Spring Final Exams must be taken during last week of regularly scheduled classes.

FINAL EXAMINATION REGULATIONS
Final examinations for the spring 2011 semester: Monday-Friday, May 9-13.
Refer to the final examination schedule on page 3 of this handbook. The final examination schedule is
standardized for the five undergraduate colleges, and can also be accessed on the Registrar home page.
Please read carefully the following important regulations:
a) Examination times for “arranged” classes, as well as for classes which meet at times different from the
Standard Class Times must be scheduled by mutual agreement of the instructor and the students.
Classroom space must also be specially arranged.
b) Final examinations will be in the same rooms assigned for regular class work unless other arrangements
are made with the Registrar’s Office. In the event that another room is used, the instructor will announce
the change.
c) To be counted as work completed in the course, all papers, reports, drawings and other assigned material
must be submitted to instructors before the scheduled date of the final examination, unless an earlier
deadline is given.
d) In the spring semester, seniors completing requirements for graduation must take final examinations
during the last week of regularly scheduled classes.
In addition, the following applies to Scripps:
1. Final exams for seminars meeting once a week are as follows:
Final exams for Monday afternoon seminars will be held on the final exam schedule with MW 2:45
courses.
Final exams for Wednesday afternoon seminars will be held on the final exam schedule with MW
4:15 courses.
Final exams for Friday afternoon seminars would need to be scheduled at a time when all students
had no other exam conflicts and the room would need to be reserved through the Registrar’s Office.
2. No changes in scheduled examinations may be made except by petition to the Committee on
Academic Review.
3. In order to protect students from the excessive academic pressure of being examined during the last week
of classes, it is urged that all faculty give their examinations within the published final examination
period. If, for emergency reasons, the final examination has to be given earlier, the examination must be
confined to the hours during which the class is scheduled to meet.
4. Because grades in the spring semester for graduating seniors must be reported to the Registrar on the
final day of classes, seniors completing requirements for graduation may not take final examinations
during the regular examination period.

NEW STUDENT PREPARATION CHECKLIST FOR REGISTRATION
[ ] Carefully review the materials in the registration packet provided during check in. The packet includes the
Spring 2011 Registration Handbook; your assigned registration time appears on the upper right side of the Handbook
cover. Your adviser’s name appears beneath your own on the label.
[ ] Activate your Scripps network, email and academic portal accounts. All official College communication,
both for you individually and as a member of the Scripps community, is distributed to your Scripps email account.
Assistance establishing your network and email accounts is available on Saturday and Sunday during orientation.
You will use your network login user name and password to access your academic portal account.
[ ] Spring 2011 Schedule of Courses. You can access the 5C Course Schedule through the academic portal at any
time without necessarily logging in. From the Scripps home page, click on “Academics,” then click on “Academic
Portal.” The schedule is current with all updates displayed.
[ ] Attend orientation events related to registration. The general advising and registration information session
will provide helpful hints and important directions.
[ ] Take the language and math placement exams. Results will be available Monday morning during the group
advising sessions and prior to your individual advising appointment and registration.
[ ] During your Group Advising on Monday morning, First Year students will schedule an individual appointment
to meet with your Scripps adviser. Transfer students will also be given an individual appointment to prepare for
registration and be assisted in connecting with their assigned faculty adviser.
[ ] Before your individual advising appointment, plan your classes by using the Course Scheduling Worksheet
available in the Handbook and on the Registrar’s web site. Be sure to write down the entire Course ID number which
will save time at registration.
o Fill in TTh at 1:15 p.m. with Writing50. First-Year students will be preregistered into this course, as will
transfer students who have not met the requirement.
[ ] Tentatively plan the other courses up to a maximum of 4.75 for which you would like to enroll. Have
alternative classes planned in case the ones you choose are closed.
o First-year students are required to enroll in their first-semester courses on Scripps campus, except in Joint
and Cooperative Programs. (Refer to “Registration Guidelines” in the Handbook.)
[ ] Professor Kang must grant her First-Year advisees portal clearance to register for classes before their
registration time on Monday, January 17. The Registrar, on behalf of the transfer students’ advisers, will do the
same after meeting with each.
[ ] Advising tips:
o Prepare a list of questions related to your academic plans and concerns that your adviser may answer.
(Your adviser may refer you to others for answers to some questions.)
o Gather together documents that may be useful during your advising appointment, such as your Course
Schedule Worksheet.
o Ask your adviser what his/her office hours will be during the spring semester.
o Make an appointment to see your adviser during the third or fourth week of classes to discuss how your
classes are going.
[ ] Important Deadlines: Follow the “Schedule of Add/Drop Procedures” in this Handbook to modify your
registration. Remember that you will not automatically be dropped from a course because you do not attend or
which the instructor requests you to drop. You are responsible for using the portal to assure the accuracy of your
registration.
[ ] Grades: Log into your academic portal account for all of your individual academic information, including your
current official enrollment in courses and your final grades.

LOGGING INTO THE PORTAL
1. From the Scripps home page, click on the “Academics” tab. Then click on
“Academic Portal” near the bottom of the list. “Academic Portal” is also available
from the “More Links” list on the lower right side of the Scripps home page or as a
link from the “Student” page.
This opens a new window in Internet Explorer or a new tab in Firefox.
2. Use your Scripps network User Name and Password to log into your academic portal
account.
a. If you have forgotten your Scripps network user name and password, send an
email to help@scrippscollege.edu.
b. Be sure to include your name and your Scripps id number in your email to “help”
and indicate that you are trying to log into the academic portal.
7

3. When you have successfully logged into your academic portal, your screen should
look like this.
4. Be sure to logout when finished. Your academic portal includes very sensitive
information, such as grades and grade point averages. Be sure to click “Logout”
when you have finished.
Note on Sakai: While many course materials are available through your Sakai account, Sakai
does not substitute for your academic portal. The Sakai list of your courses, while updated, is
not reliably current with your official registration and/or grades—check your portal account
frequently, especially as add and drop deadlines approach.
8

PORTAL REGISTRATION
1. Click on the “Add/Drop Courses” link in the lower right side of your screen to reset
the “term” for preregistration, e.g., from Fall 2010 to Spring 2011.
2. The link will take you to a second page where you may change the term in either of
two places.
9

3. Changing to the correct registration term will reveal your registration time—if your
Scripps adviser has granted permission for portal registration.
10

ADVISER PORTAL REGISTRATION CLEARANCE
1. A student must be granted registration clearance by her academic adviser through
the adviser’s portal account. Professor Kang will grant her First-Year advisees
portal clearance to register for classes before their registration time on Monday,
January 17. The Registrar, on behalf of the transfer students’ advisers, will do the
same after meeting with each.
2. If the adviser has not granted registration clearance, the student’s academic portal will
have an Alert:
** “You do not have clearance to register. You must first see your adviser.”
3. When your adviser has granted you clearance to register, this Alert will disappear and
your assigned registration time will appear.
11

REGISTRATION GUIDELINES
Enrollment Guidelines and Course Limits
1. Undergraduate students at The Claremont Colleges are eligible to enroll in courses on a spaceavailable
basis under the guidelines and policies applicable on their home campus, together with
enrollment restrictions indicated in the schedule of courses. From the Scripps home page, click
on “Academics,” followed by “Academic Portal,” then “Course Search” to view individual
courses. Be sure to change the semester and year as well as click the academic area in which you
are interested. Click on the individual “Course Code” for course description, prerequisites,
any enrollment restrictions, and textbook information.
2. Students select courses in consultation with their academic advisers and register for available
courses through the Registrar’s Office or through their academic portal accounts. Students are
responsible for assuring the accuracy of their enrollment, regardless of class attendance or
instructor permission:
• You will not automatically be dropped from a course for nonattendance, failure to meet
prerequisites or other enrollment restrictions, or any other reason.
• You will not automatically be added to a course you are attending, even with instructor
permission.

Permission to Register
1. Undergraduate students may register for
Claremont Graduate University or Keck
Graduate Institute courses only by
submitting a completed add slip to the
Scripps Registrar with both instructor
and adviser approval signatures.
(Forms are available in the Registrar’s
Office.)
2. Music Department (Scripps and Pomona)
issues permission slips and requires
auditions: New students must sign up for
auditions and interviews at the Scripps
Performing Arts Center. For private lessons
at Pomona College, contact Pomona Music
Department, ext. 18155. (Pomona private
lessons have fees not included on your
Scripps bill.)
3. Various faculty members issue
instructor permission to enroll in other
courses requiring it. See “Courses
Needing Instructor Permission” section
of this Handbook.
4. Audited courses must be added
during first ten instructional days
on space-available basis with
instructor written permission.
Audit does not earn ANY credit
or meet any requirement.
(Forms are available in the
Registrar’s Office.)
Registering for Required Courses
Note: Registrations in required courses are closely monitored.
1. Writing 50: First-Year students will be preregistered into Writing 50, as
will transfer students who have not met the requirement.
2. Core: The Core requirement must be taken in course sequence (I before II,
II before III). First-Years will take Core I in fall 2011, Core II in spring
2012, and Core III in fall 2012. Transfer students who transfer with the
equivalent of five to eight courses will complete Core II in spring 2011 and
Core III in fall 2011. Students who transfer as first-semester sophomores
(eight to twelve courses) will complete Core III in fall 2011.
3. You must see the Core Director to request a Core section change. While
emailing an individual section instructor is possible in the portal (see
“Closed Courses”), normally the section limits are tightly controlled and
adding a closed section is unlikely.
4. You must re-arrange your schedule around these requirements, as needed.
Failure to register for Writing or Core may result in sanction such as
academic probation for jeopardizing your academic progress and/or
ineligibility to participate in Off-Campus Study.
13

ADDING COURSES

2. During preregistration periods, you may need to re-set the term. Click on “Add/Drop
Courses” (or “Course Search”) to change the term.
3. Note: If it is currently your assigned preregistration time, changing the term will
make registration available to you.
4. Holds will prevent registration activities regardless of term.
5. The “Add/Drop Courses” screen positions you to begin the registration process. (See
next page for illustration.)
a. Click on the “Course Area” search arrow to choose a discipline or department to
view. At the bottom of the list, you will find groupings by Scripps general
education requirements.
b. Click “Search” to find the courses in your selected area.
14

6. Click on a course id to view details including applicable course fees, course
description, cross-registration limitations, prerequisite courses, and so forth.

bottom of the current list to move to the next page of listings.
15

8. You must have the Course Details screen open to add the course.
9. WARNING: Click on one of the “bread crumbs” near the top of each displayed page
to go back. Do not use your browser “Back” button or arrow.
10. If you select a new course to add which conflicts with one you have already added, a
warning screen will appear and you will be given the opportunity to choose. (See
next page for details.)
16

a. You may click “Swap” to cancel your registration in the first course and add you
to the second course.
b. You may choose not to add the second course and keep the first one.
c. If you “Clear All Alerts,” you will retain the first course, not be added to the
second, and be returned to the “Add/Drop Courses” screen.
11. You may also drop courses from the “Add/Drop Courses” screen to modify your
schedule until complete. Click the “drop” box and then the “Drop Selected Courses”
button.
17

CLOSED COURSES
1. If you attempt to add a course that is closed, or that is not open to you because of
cross-registration limitations, you will be given the opportunity to request permission
of the instructor to add the class.
2. Follow Steps 9 through 13 in the “Courses Needing Instructor Permission” section of
the Handbook.
DROPPING COURSES
1. As you build your schedule, you will also be given the opportunity to drop courses in
which you have already registered.
2. Your current schedule appears at the bottom of the “Add/Drop Courses” screen.
3. Click in the “Drop” box of the course you wish to drop. Then click on the “Drop
Selected Courses” button.
18

COURSES NEEDING INSTRUCTOR PERMISSION
1. You may request permission to add a course requiring instructor permission through
your academic portal. You must obtain portal clearance from your adviser first.
2.
a. You must have no holds.
b. You may do this in advance of your registration time.
c. Be sure your portal schedule is set to the correct term.
3. From your “Student” tab, click on “Add/Drop Courses.”
4. This takes you to the “Add/Drop Courses” screen. Be sure the term is set correctly
for the semester into which you want to register.
5. We strongly recommend that you use “Course Area” for your searches. The portal is
very, very exacting about course codes and titles, so “area” searches are more
productive. Toward the bottom of the Course Area list are “Areas” which represent
Scripps general education requirements, e.g., clicking on “SC Math Requirement”
produces a list of all Scripps courses being offered that meet the math requirement.
19

6. After choosing an “area,” click search. Remember that areas with large numbers of
courses may display on multiple pages and use the indicators at the bottom of each
page to move through the entire list.
7. Click on the course id to get more information about requesting permission.
20

8. In the display of course information for the specific class, you will find all of the
information about the class, including the course description.
9. In the “Note” section, you will find a green link, “Request a PERMission to enroll
authorization.”
10. By clicking on this link, you will open an email addressed to the course instructor.
a. Use the “Comment” box to explain why you want to add. Information about your
major or minor, general education requirements, special interests, and conflicts
will be helpful to the instructor.
21

. Click on “Submit Authorization Request” to send it to the instructor.
c. Be patient and watch both your Scripps email and your portal over several days
for a response.
d. Please do not send multiple requests for the same course until you have received a
response to your first request.
11. Responses to PERMission requests can be viewed by clicking on one of two places
from your portal “Student” tab:
12. Pending requests and approved authorizations will appear; the most recent request
you made is listed first, with the oldest listed last.
13. You must use the “Adding Courses” instructions to actually register in courses with
approved authorizations. You may add them during your registration time, within
enrollment limits set by the instructor. (See next page for illustration.)
22

CORE II SECTION DESCRIPTIONS
Section 1 Terms of Modernity (new course)
TR 9:35-10:50 a.m.
This course examines the concepts that structure the possibilities of our (contemporary) world,
especially how we “experience” it and attempt to transform it through social and political action. The
course will focus most explicitly on the fundamental concept of the “individual” and the characteristics
most commonly associated with it: understanding, freedom, equality, family, justice, rights,
secularism, to name a few. Too often, we take these concepts and characteristics as givens, and reduce
their imperfect realization to the relations and machinations of the material world. In doing so, have we
not bought into a false binary between principle and context that has precluded us from understanding
these concepts as constituent elements of political power and social organization, and thus from fully
appreciating what their potential might be Mr. Aisenberg, Ms. Perez de Mendiola
Section 2 Beyond Good and Evil (change in description)
TR 1:15-2:30 p.m. and W 6:30-9:00 p.m.
The notions of good and evil are not fixed and self-evident moral categories that can easily be applied
to specific actions or works but are rather shifting and ambiguous concepts. This course will begin
with three works of the Enlightenment that introduce good and evil as apparent binary opposites while
questioning and subverting that assumption. We will explore the complexities of these concepts from
the 18 th century to the present in an interdisciplinary (theoretical texts, films, operas, novels, plays,
legal proceedings) as well as a historical context. Themes will be the pact with the devil, seducers and
femmes fatales, crime and criminality. Ms. Burwick, Mr. Krauss
Section 3 Once Upon a Time: Psychological and Literary Approaches to the Fairy Tale
(change in description)
MW 1:15-2:30 p.m.
Fairy tales explore social conditions, families in crisis, the human search for the meaning of life,
coming of age, the path to the self. A critical analysis of familiar categories such as gender, sexuality,
race, and class can demonstrate how fairy tales both support and subvert the dominant ideology
implicit in the tales. In the course we trace these tensions from the earliest myths to their modern retelling
in popular culture, architecture, film and advertisements. Ms. Burwick, Ms. LeMaster
Section 4 James Joyce’s Ulysses: Politics, Culture and the Law (change in title and description)
TR 9:35-10:50 a.m.
Through a close reading of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses, the most famous of all of the texts of
modernism, students will be introduced to a number of key political and cultural issues. Topics to be
considered may include gender, identity, racism, nationalism, colonialism, high and popular culture,
normativity, sexuality and censorship. Mr. Crowley
Section 5 Tragedy, Trauma, and Terror (change in description)
TR 2:45-4:00 p.m.
This course studies the conventional and received understanding of tragedy as a literary genre and how
the term has evolved in modern times to encompass the lives of everyday people and the impact of
events or circumstances such as war, slavery, poverty, natural disasters, and massacres. Readings range
across literature, history, psychology, politics, and philosophy. Ms. Drake, Mr. Simshaw
25

Section 6 The Roar of the Lion: The Lives and Deaths of Animals (new course)
TR 1:15-2:30 p.m.
This course explores and historicizes how people have defined the boundaries between humans and
animals in three critical moments: antiquity, the early modern, and today. Readings include
philosophy, science, and literature and will explore issues around animal rights and capabilities, animal
consumption, and the place of animals in society. Ms. Finkelpearl, Ms. Wernimont
Section 7 Incentives Matter: The Economics of Gender and Choice (new course)
M 2:45-5:30 p.m.
This course will explore how gender construction and perceptions about gender have evolved over
time and how current perceptions affect the choices that individual, institutions, and governments
make. We explore the very ideas of choice, gender roles, the relationship between social and biological
functions, and the notion of equity that economic participation may promise. These are issues we will
examine as we look at how economic opportunities for women are linked to issues of race and class
and how education plays a key role in changing the economic calculus of women’s lives.
Mr. Flynn, Ms. Macko
Section 8 Sleep: Nature, Nurture, Mystery (change in title and description)
TR 4:15-5:30 p.m.
This course looks at sleep through literature, science, history, anthropology. We will look at histories
of our present sleep practices and attitudes toward sleep and see how these practices and attitudes are
rooted in our values as a society and how even a behavior as innate and universal as sleep is culturally
inflected. Ms. Greene
Section 9 Nationalism and Culture (change in description)
M 2:45-5:30 p.m.
Cultural forms that both affirm and create a sense of national identity sustain the modern nation-state.
This course begins with a study of contemporary national representations and excavates into the past to
explore how music, visual arts, film, and other cultural forms from the last two centuries in Europe,
China, and the United States represent and construct nations, prescribe their membership and identity,
and encourage participation in their perpetuation. Ms. Kang, Ms. Koss
Section 10 The Detective in the City (change in description)
TR 12:00-1:10 p.m.
In the dark corners of the popular imagination, crime virtually defines the modern city. We will go
back to the 19 th -century origins of detective fiction (Poe’s Paris, Conan Doyle’s London), before
looking at classic and contemporary versions of “noir.” By combining literary and urban history, we
consider how city settings shape the moral imagination—in particular, our sense of private and public
life. Mr. Katz
Section 11 Riotous Americans: Los Angeles and the Poetics of Unrest (new course)
TR 2:45-4:00 p.m.
This course focuses on three Los Angeles riots (“Zoot Suit,” Watts, Rodney King) with an eye towards
understanding them as complex and multilayered “histories of the present.” By focusing on “riots,” we
will explore how our built environments continue to produce and reproduce differential structures of
class, race, gender, and citizenship. Mr. Liu, Ms. Roberts
26

Section 12 What is Avant-garde (new course)
W 2:45-5:30 p.m.
This course will examine the shifting character of the avant-garde in modern movements in art,
literature, cinematography, and performance, as well as the different meanings of the word in everyday
language. We will explore how the notion of avant-garde shaped the modern imagination and changed
the ways in which we perceive works of art and the world itself. Ms. MacNaughton, Ms. Ovan
Section 13 Death (change in description)
W 2:45-5:30 p.m.
What is death Why do we care about it Is death bad Why do we mourn the dead What ought to be
done with the dead Has death changed Can one be dead The definition of death is not obvious and
its criterion has changed over time (soul departure, cessation of breath, cessation of heartbeat,
cessation of brain waves, etc.) for a variety of complex reasons (including religious, scientific,
practical, political). Drawing upon philosophical, historical, psychological, religious, and pop culture
perspectives, we will investigate death. Ms. Weinberg

Humanities 195J Junior Fellowship in the Humanities Institute (new topic)
“The Future of Higher Education: Gender, Geography and the Humanities”
Critical views of higher education seem to agree on the need to, at the very least, enable people,
especially the young, to use their minds to capacity, and at best, prepare citizens to participate in a
democracy. It is also generally agreed that education, and to some the education of women, is needed
30

to end cycles of poverty while spurring economic growth. Some have argued beyond development and
growth justifications for the universal right to an education for all.
As we assess current conditions and projected changes in higher education with educators,
administrators, and activists, how can we address common goals of educating towards global
competency, leadership abilities, and critical thinking Will these goals be achieved through a “human
development model” involving humanistic content and Socratic pedagogy as proposed by Martha C.
Nussbaum Will it involve service-learning, interactive rather than a broadcast teaching model, or
developments of Centers and Institutes And how will emerging technology and methods help
maximize higher education’s impact on the well-being of our world
The one-credit Junior Fellowship in the Humanities Institute does not satisfy any general education
requirement, but may be used once toward requirements of a major with approval of the faculty adviser
in the major. Registration requires application. May apply to repeat once for credit. Offered each
