3 credits 45.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course
Through readings of works of major theorists on the nature of personality and on creativity, the course poses two major questions: What do major theorists have to say about the human personality?; and What do major theorists have to say about what it means to be a creative person? There are a number of ways of answering these questions and it is not the purpose of the course to choose the “best” answer, but rather, to put the student in a better position to make his or her own decision.

LASS 915 (HIST*204) Berlin Hot, Berlin Cold: Berlin’s Drastic Decade, 1939-1949 Division of Liberal Arts
3 credits 45.0 hours
900 level undergraduate course
This course explores Berlin through the interpretive lenses of diary, film documentary and drama, architecture, primary-sourced history, and secondary narrative. Nowhere is this confluence of ideas and structures more dynamic than in World War II and early Cold War Berlin. 1939-1949 Berlin’s grandiose landscapes, self-aggrandizing monuments, cultural edginess and persistence, historical centrality, and international intrigue make the former Prussian capital, former Wilhelmine capital, former Nazi capital, postwar East German capital and postwar Western outpost, a location, symbol, and Cold War prize like no other. How has the physical space of Berlin been conceived and portrayed in the many mediums we will examine? How has Berlin’s role at the center of modern German, European and global history affected the city’s projection of self and power? In turn, how has Berlin’s aggression been addressed by a bewildered and aggrieved world of nations? In what ways have the cinema, literature, military might, diplomatic acumen, and historic rendering shaped and reshaped Berliners’ sense of responsibility, denial, alienation, resilience, and reconciliation? The course is organized around five key developments that each address significant changes in Berlin’s political and cultural life: wartime National Socialism, 1939-1945; postwar, city-wide denazification; May-July 1945 postwar Sovietization; July 1945-June 1948 continued Sovietization of eastern Berlin; the Soviet blockade of, and Western Airlift rescue of, western Berlin.

LASS 921 (PSYC*205) Group Dynamics Division of Liberal Arts
3 credits 45.0 hours
900 level undergraduate course
This course is designed to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to understanding group processes and to improve their skills as group members and leaders. Throughout, the aim is to provide an integration of theory, research, and applied methods. Group Dynamics has four major components. The first is an unstructured group experience focusing on interpersonal and group processes. Through the study of their own behavior, students will learn about the nature of authority and responsibility, anxiety, communications, the evolution of norms, and the underlying assumptions that often govern team development. It is our experience that the amount students learn in the course is directly related to the amount of effort they put into making meaning of this experiential component. The second component is a substantial set of readings. Readings include Group Dynamics, by Donelson Forsyth and six articles. Many students find it useful to do the reading as soon as possible. That is a matter of personal style. However, to prepare yourself for the experiential aspect of the course, students are required to read the articles by Bennis & Sheperd; Gemmill; Harvey; Herschhorn & Krantz; Marshak & Katz; McIntosh; Tillich; and Rioch before the course begins. During the course, students are required to keep a journal recording your thoughts and feelings about group events (you can write it in breaks, before or after sessions, and in the evening). The third component of the course involves thematic events. By comparing and contrasting the behavior of participants claiming membership in various social identity groups, participants have an opportunity to learn how these affect team behavior. They also can study intragroup phenomena such as cooperation and competition. The fourth component is membership in a Small Task Group (STG). The purpose of this component is to help you learn how having a specific task with a deadline and collective responsibility for a product affects team dynamics and is affected by them. Membership in these teams will be determined by the members of the small group(s).

LASS 934 (HIST*205) 1968:The Year That Defined A Generation Division of Liberal Arts
3 credits 45.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course
Was 1968 a revolutionary year? This course will examine the course and consequences of 1968 - a year-long crisis halfway between the end of the Second World War (1945) and the end of the Cold War (1991) - for the United States, Europe, and the Soviet Union. From Paris to Berlin, and from Washington to Chicago to San Francisco, mostly young citizens protested against American (“Tet”) and Soviet (“Prague”) hegemony in Europe, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere, and demanded instead freedom, justice, and self-determination for all people. With this in mind, we will consider such questions as the connection between domestic and international forces; the role of the mass media in shaping the events of 1968; formal and informal activist networks across Europe, across the Atlantic, and across the world; the degree to which ideology (whether real or perceived) united or divided leaders, followers, and spontaneous movements; the diverse meaning of protest and its impact on class, age, gender, and racial relations; and, finally, the role that “1968” played in separating Western Europe from the U.S., producing new centers of power across the world, and contributing to the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Empire in 1991.
