seats available in cool interdisciplinary seminars!

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Dear advising community, Honors has seats available in some really cool, interdisciplinary, upper level seminars! Non-Honors students with 3.3 GPAs or higher can take Honors courses. It's a simple process of filling out this form<https://honors.utsa.edu/resources/pdf/HONORS-COURSE-for-non-honors-studen...> and submitting it to honors(a)utsa.edu<mailto:honors@utsa.edu>. Here are the course titles and descriptions are at the end: * HON 3223.001 Radioactive Dreams? Facts, Fictions, and Futures of Nuclear Energy (Face-to-face; MW 4:00-5:15pm; Instructor: Mx. A. Villanueva) * HON 3233.001 In Search of Self: Writing and Reading Creative Non-Fiction (Face-to-Face; W 1:00-3:45pm; Instructor: Mr. J.P. Santos) * HON 3233.003 Writing on Walls: Identity and Power Through the Walls of San Antonio (Face-to-Face; TR 10:00-11:15pm; Instructor: Dr. F. Matos) * HON 3253.003 Decision-Making in the Modern World: No! You Did it Wrong, Again! (Face-to-Face; TR 2:30-3:45pm; Instructor: Dr. A. Cassill) Please spread the word to students who might be interested and eligible! My thanks, Jill HON 3223.001 Radioactive Dreams? Facts, Fictions, and Futures of Nuclear Energy (Face-to-face; MW 4:00-5:15pm; Instructor: Mx. A. Villanueva) Since the 1950s, nuclear energy has captured humanity's hopes and fears for the future, eliciting excitement over green energy and the specter of nuclear disaster as reactors were built to complement the energy needs of an ever-increasing population. This course explores the ways in which nuclear power has been understood, romanticized, and re-interpreted through the lens of different forms of media to shape and reshape communities and imaginations of a nuclear age past, present, and future. Students will produce docudramas analyzing their choice of nuclear energy film or novel within its historical, scientific, and social contexts. This course counts as an Interdisciplinary Seminar Experience in the Honors College curriculum. HON 3233.001 In Search of Self: Writing and Reading Creative Non-Fiction (Face-to-Face; W 1:00-3:45pm; Instructor: Mr. J.P. Santos) We read and write to learn more about ourselves and others in the world. This quest for wisdom has been a major part of literary tradition from The Confessions of St. Augustine's to the most recent of contemporary memoirs. As this literary tradition has evolved, it has become increasingly innovative, incorporating writing techniques adapted from poetry, cinema, new media and popular culture. In this writing-focused seminar, by reading and viewing exemplary creative non-fiction works, students will develop skills in writing in their unique voice, creating a literary practice that expands self-knowledge. Building on weekly writing exercises, this "workshop" seminar will culminate in a significant project in writing and/or media. This course counts as an Interdisciplinary Seminar Experience in the Honors College curriculum. HON 3233.003 Writing on Walls: Identity and Power Through the Walls of San Antonio (Face-to-Face; TR 10:00-11:15pm; Instructor: Dr. F. Matos) In this course, students will discuss the definition and transformation of cultural identity by exploring murals, tags and graffiti in various neighborhoods in San Antonio. How do these artistic forms reproduce or challenge common identities, such as ethnicity, race, gender and class? Students will explore, survey, and define the concept of a "wall", including images and messages of identity and empowerment, and will talk with artists and designers. Students will be critics, guides, artists, and chroniclers of San Antonio's walls as they build and design their own physical or digital spaces representing their self-identities. Students will create an annotated multi-media digital map of pieces of urban art using digital story mapping tools, as well as create their own "wall(s)". HON 3253.003 Decision-Making in the Modern World: No! You Did it Wrong, Again! (Face-to-Face; TR 2:30-3:45pm; Instructor: Dr. A. Cassill) Every day, you have to make decisions. Goat or almond milk in your latte? Break up or make up? Become a doctor and make lots of money or follow your passion but without the riches? The choices should be logically obvious but we always seem to make bad ones. How did our super-sized brain, the result of billions of years of evolution end up so dysfunctional? We will study the evolution of decision making and see how the complexities of modern life have added problems that lead us down the wrong pathways. Hopefully, we will learn how to alter our decision-making machinery to lead us to better outcomes. K.
