READINGS: Hewitt, CONCEPTUAL
PHYSICS
DESCRIPTION: Physics 102 is an
introouction to heat and
thermodynac.ics, waves and sound, and
electricity and magnetism. A great
cany practical and everyday
phenomena will be discussed, along
with the general concepts. The
emphasis will be on learning
concepts more than doing
calculations. A little high school
algebra will be used. There will be
demonstrations to illustrate the
various concepts.
COMMENTS: There will be three
midterms and a comprehensive final
which will include questions from
the last two chapters not covered on
midterms. The lowest score will be
dropped. If you decide to skip the
final, you must complete the
homework for the last two chapters.
Homework counts only to determine
borderline grades, though doing
homework usually leads to doing
better on exams, so you get credit
for it in any oase.

READINGS; Kesselm&n, et. al.,
EUROPEAN POLITICS IN TRANSITION
DESCRIPTION: The course serves as
an introduction to some general
strategies for comparative cross
national research, a substantive
examination of some select political
systems as well as discussion of
some relatively recent events that
serve to illustrate the similarities
and differences between the various
political systems. Since the course
is introductory in nature, it is
designed as a "sensitizer" for
students hitherto exposed only to
their own ethno-cultural
environment. Formal lectures will
only serve as introduction to
discussion and to familiarize
students with most common research
strategies and problems.
COMMENTS: Given the stress on
discussion and the emphasis in
lectures on research strategies, it
is of particular importance that the
student attend classes, read the
assigned material and participate.
No formal final examination will be
given—Instead, two essays and a
quiz are expected.
