The type of participation and time commitment by the teaching fellow are negotiable between the fellow and the instructor.
CENTER FOR NATURAL, COMPUTER & DATA SCIENCES:
PSY233 (Sensation and Perception): meets MWF 12-1:10pm Instructor: Tom Girardelli
This course is a survey of current theory and research in perception. The primary goal is for students to gain an understanding of how people obtain reliable and useful information about the environment around them through their senses. Exploring several perceptual systems, including vision, audition, touch and pain, and smell and taste, we will cover topics such as the physiological structure of sensory systems, psychophysics, attention, sensory integration, and comparative perception.
WRT 181H (Writing Studies – Honors)- meets MW 2:40-4:30 Instructor: Walker Smith
This course welcomes you into the Goucher Community of Writers and to the creative processes of inquiry, composition, collaboration, revision, and editing. You will develop strategies to read perceptively, think deeply, and write with clarity about complex issues. This course emphasizes research – the thoughtful, responsible use of sources that is part of joining ongoing academic conversations. In this intensive workshop, you will develop the habits of mind and practice of craft that characterize academic writing in all its complicated and graceful forms. In addition, students will hone their skills in extended writing projects and/or community-based learning opportunities.
CHE 341 (Biochemistry) – meets MWF 10:40-11:50 Instructor: George Greco
Structure and function of biological molecules, chemistry of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, intermediary metabolism.
FYS 100 (FA25) – our environment, chemicals, and cancer- meets T/Th 11:30-1:20 Instructor: Jenny Lenkowski
First year seminars are based on faculty-chosen topics, designed to show students what faculty are thinking about but, more importantly, how faculty are thinking about a specific topic. They also point the way forward toward further exploration. As with a senior seminar, each class is small and is composed of students with similar interests. First year seminars emphasize student responsibility and participation and hone the skills involved in investigating a subject slowly, closely, and in depth. The first-year seminar launches students into the pleasures and demands of higher education.
