COURSE DESCRIPTIONS APPLICATION PROCESS FOR COMMUNICATIONS STUDENTS All Division II and III students wishing to work with communication" faculty during the 1998 academic year must file their proposals (available in the School Office) with the faculty by April 22. 1998. CCS 111 WHEN MACHINES TALK Lee SpeccoclSteven Weisler The tremendous advances in computer science over the last three decades continually raise the question of whether computers will ever be as intelligent, as conversant, as creative as humans are. In this course we will examine the prospects for building machines that can talk and can understand human language. We will consider linguistic, philosophical. and computational challenges to modeling what are often considered to be the defining characteristics of what it means (0 be human. We begin whh a discussion of the possibility of "artificial intelligence" (AI), covering the claims that have been made by AI scientists and the critiques of such claims that have arisen from the philosophical community. We then focus on the fundamental logic and mathematics of computation and language, including techniques for proving that certain linguistic problems are "intractable" or "unsolvable." Students will be evaluated through a combination of short papers and problem sets, along with a final project. Class will meet twice a week for one hour and twenty minutes each time. Enrollment limh is 25. CCS 140 VIDEO I Joan Braderman This intensive course will introduce students to basic video production techniques for both location and studio work. In conjunction with technical mini courses offered by the Library staff, we will look at the production process piece by piece, giving anention to preproduction, fund-raising, and distribution, as well as formal elements like color. light. sound. composition, camera movement, and editing techniques. We will look at tapes and films that are particularly relevant to each facet of our work to ground our discussions. No one form or style will be stressed, though much in-field work will be assigned. "Video art," new narrative, "documentary," compilation tapes. cable shows, and other forms of video practice will be considered. Students will be trained in all technical aspects of video production, from shooting and lighting techniques, studio location and switcher skills to an introduction to the Avid. We will also introduce Adobe Premiere and other desktop computer software including basic graphics for video. Sound work will include omni, shotgun and radio microphones, miking and mixing of sound for studio, and location work for video. Students will learn to edit on RM440s with Uhmatic decks, cuts only, and on-line methods, as well as an introduction to computer procedures on the Editmascer. Students will work on projects and exercises in rocation crews throughout the term, as well as a final project. While occasional short writing assignments will be made, scudents will be primarily engaged in video production. 71 ISPRING I A background in film/video theory, history. or criticism is preferred for entry into the course. Class will meet once a week for two hours and fifty minutes. There will also be two two-hour workshops. Enrollment is limited to 16. All interested students should come to the first class meeting for selection. CCS 143 AN INTRODUCTION TO DAOIST PHILOSOPHY Zhaolu Lu This is an introductory course in Chinese philosophy. It is designed to serve the needs of students from all sectors of a college or university and does not presuppose previous knowledge of Chinese language. culture. or philosophy. It provides students with a systematic introduction to the basic works and theories of Daoism. one of the major philosophical schools which shape the foundations of Chinese civilization and culture. We begin with a brief survey of the rise and fall of Daoism. We then go through Lao Zi or Dao De jing and Zhuang Zi, these being two of the Daoist classics known as "the Three Xuan." Finally, we shall systematically examine 12 Daoist basic categories-Dao Dc. Wu Wei, DongJing. Zhi Yu. Zuo Wang. Yang Xing. Yang Qi. Tian Ren. Xing Shen. Yun You, Lian Dan, Qi Wu. Class will meet twice a week for one hour and twenty minutes each time. Enrollment is limited to 25. CCS 150 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INFANT Mary Jo Rattermann The rate of a child's development during the first 24 months of life is astounding. During this time infants begin to interact with their environment in increasingly more sophisticated ways; they begin to walk, to talk, and [0 affect the people around them. In this course we will examine the intellectual development of the child during these crucial months. as well as the infant's emotional and social growth. In addition to providing an overview of the course of infant development. this class will also introduce the student to the basic research questions and techniques used to study infant development. Students will be expected to read and critique a series of articles from the professional scientific literature. Students will also be asked to give one presentation during the course of the semester. Additionally, they will write a final paper that may be developed into a Division I examination project. Class will meet twice a week for one hour and twenty minutes each time. Enrollment limit is 20. CCS 171 INTRODUCTION TO INTERACTIVE MEDIA PRODUCTION Richard Muller This is an introduction to the concepts and techniques that inform current work in interactive media production. The course will be organized around the production of an interactive CD-ROM piece. The class as a whole will develop the specifications and design for the project; students will work in smaller groups to design and produce the elements of the piece and to integrate these elements into a single work. Among the topics covered will be production planning; interface design and testing; acquiring, creating, and editing
