CHEM 129 - Basic Principles of Chemistry
Basic Principles of Chemistry is a first course in college chemistry that introduces students to the basic concepts of chemistry. It is an ideal course for students who have not had a high school chemistry course, or who wish to review the basics before attempting further course work in chemistry. Topics include unit analysis, stoichiometry, reactions in solution, gas laws, enthalpy, basic atomic theory, and bonding using Lewis dot structures. Note that this course does not count toward the two-semester sequence required by most professional schools.
Co-requisite: MATH 156 - College Algebra , MATH 157 - Plane Trigonometry , MATH 186 - Precalculus , or any higher-level mathematics course, based on a sufficiently strong high school background and score on the Mathematics Placement Exam.

Topics beyond those in CHEM 129 - Basic Principles of Chemistry include thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy and the Gibbs energy), kinetics, basic equilibrium, quantum mechanics and simple approaches to bonding (Lewis dot structures and VSPER theory). The exceptionally well prepared student can begin his or her Truman chemistry experience in CHEM 130 based on a sufficiently strong high school background in chemistry and mathematics and his or her score on the Mathematics Placement Exam. Note that this course is the first course in the two semester sequence required by most professional schools.
Prerequisites: Either: 1) completion of the Elementary Functions Essential Skill requirement (based upon sufficiently strong high school background and score on the Mathematics Placement Exam) AND completion of any previous high school or college chemistry course with a grade of C or better; OR 2) completion of CHEM 129 - Basic Principles of Chemistry with a grade of C or better.

CLAS 312 - Athenian Drama In/Out of Context
Who was there (Athens, Greece) in the first audience (Theater of Dionysos, 429 BCE) to watch Oedipus slowly realize his most grievous error? What did that look like? What did it sound like? In what social and political climate did Lysistrata organize her neighbors for a war-ending sex strike? Who performed the central role? Who danced and sang in the chorus? What did these performances mean to the community? This seminar considers the social context of the Great (or City) Dionysia, the festival during which Athenian tragedy and comedy were originally performed. As such we will combine a close reading of ancient scripts with the interpretation of archaeological, ritual, and historical evidence. We will also consider the phenomenon of modern adaptations of these plays. What do these texts and performances preserve? What is lost and gained as these ancient texts move further out of context?
