Upon completion, students will have the ability to read concise, original Ukrainian texts and speak about basic topics such as school, family life, and travel.

This course will teach some of the fundamental concepts needed to succeed in the calculus sequence, and develop students' mathematical writing and presentation skills. It is comprised of lectures, precepts, and writing workshops.Written work will be assigned weekly, and a final project will be due at the end of the summer.

MAT 210 will survey the main ideas of calculus in a single variable incorporating an introduction to formal mathematical proofs. The course will place equal emphasis on theory (how to construct formal mathematical definitions and rigorous, logical proofs) and on practice (concrete computational examples involving integration and infinite sequences and series). This course provides a more theoretical foundation in single variable calculus than MAT104, intended to prepare students better for a first course in real analysis (MAT215), but it covers all the computational tools needed to continue to multivariable calculus (MAT201 or MAT203).

This course studies contemporary representations of Black Europeans in film, music, and popular culture in dialogue with critical works about diaspora, citizenship, and transnational blackness. We will read critical works by scholars who focus on Black Europe including,Tiffany Florvil (Germany), Grada Kilomba (Portugal), SA Smythe (Italy) among others as we explore different ways in which Black European artists engage with questions of national and transnational belonging. Students will write, conduct research, and engage in hands-on creative film and media projects as they think critically along with the various cultural and critical texts.

This course explores contemporary productions of Latinx culture through a survey of Latinx literature, music, and performance, such as examining some of the biggest headliners in Latinx music now, such as Bad Bunny and Karol G. Through reading texts in the Latinx literary canon, this course asks 'how are Latinxs writing their stories' in multi-layered and transdisciplinary ways that are both written and performed i.e. slam poetry, music videos, literary representations, and general performances. Students will explore multiple genres and diverse voices in a multimedia classroom to learn how subversive narratives are written and their impact.

The Molecular Biology Research Experience is a two-course sequence that provides sophomore students with an in lab research experience mentored by faculty in the department. MOL 280: Molecular Biology Research Experience I, offered in the fall semester, is a non-credit bearing P/D/F course and is a prerequisite to MOL 281: Molecular Biology Research Experience II. MOL 281, offered in the spring semester, is a credit bearing course. Students must earn a "P" in MOL 280 to enroll in MOL 281. Students are expected to spend a minimum of 6 hours per week engaged in research and attend weekly meeting as determined by the mentoring faculty.

CHI 1001 and CHI 1002, are introductory Chinese courses for true beginners. This course will be taught at half the pace of instruction compared to Elementary Chinese (CHI 101/CHI 102). The goal of this course is to develop students' four basic communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, using both the Pinyin system, and simplified Chinese characters. After taking CHI 1001 and CHI 1002, students will have developed basic abilities to handle simple survival situations in Chinese, to read and write over 300 Chinese characters, and be well prepared for more advanced and intensive study in Chinese. Three hours of class.

This course is a continuation of CHI 1001, an introductory course for true beginners. It is taught at half the instructional pace of Elementary Chinese (CHI 101/CHI102). The goal of this course is to develop students' four basic communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, using both the Pinyin Romanization phonetic system, and simplified (modern) Chinese characters. By the end of this course, students will be able to handle simple "survival situations" in Chinese, read and write over 300 Chinese characters, and be well prepared for more advanced and intensive study in Chinese. Three hours of class.

FRE 1027 is an intensive double course designed to help students develop an active command of the language. Focus will be on reading and listening comprehension, oral proficiency, grammatical accuracy, and the development of reading and writing skills. A solid grammatical basis and awareness of the idiomatic usage of the language will be emphasized. Students will be introduced to various Francophone cultures through readings, videos, and films. Prerequisite: FRE 101 and permission of instructor. Five 90-minute classes. All classes are conducted in French.

Intensive training in German, building on GER 101 and covering the acquisitional goals of GER 102 and GER 105: communicative proficiency, mastery of discourse skills and reading strategies to interpret and discuss contemporary German short stories, film and drama. Successful completion of the course (B+ or above) leads to automatic eligibility for GER 107G in the Princeton-in-Vienna program. Limited to students with a grade of A/A- in GER 101. 6.6 hours per week.
