experience of analyzing the visual artefacts of our contemporary
culture. Students use the resulting knowledge in designing their
own visual creations. They examine both static and dynamic
imagery (advertisements, photographs, films, television
programs and interactive media), as they broaden their
understanding of the underlying principles of "massaging
images" in our electronic age.
Upper War and Morality The past century has seen a shocking increase in the power –
and perhaps even the willingness – that human beings have to
destroy each other. Two world wars, the targeting of civilians
with atomic bombs, the development of even more deadly
nuclear weapons, countless revolutions, military coups, civil
wars, and the rise of international terrorism all testify to the
continuing use of violence and war as means to achieve political
ends. This tendency is even found in calls for ―humanitarian
wars‖ that would be fought for the preservation of human rights
and the protection of vulnerable populations.
In light of the pervasiveness of war in many regions around the
world today, it is important to critically examine the issue of how
military force might be used for ―moral reasons.‖ This course will
explore the possibilities of waging a moral war (if this is indeed
possible) by applying various perspectives from political theory
and philosophy to case studies.
Lower Web Development This course addresses the creation of usable and accessible
websites and how to achieve these objectives. It focuses on
methods of integrating various forms of information (text,
graphics, animation, sound and video) on to a website and
analyzes the advantages of each of those methods. Students
evaluate the integration of multimedia components as used in
graphical user interfaces (GUI). Students are introduced to
interactive programming on the web and build a web application
using HTML, CSS, and scripting languages.
