HONORS 211 C: Introduction to Bilingualism: Ways of Being (Winter 2013)

Credit

The course offers several perspectives on bilingualism. From personal to global, from the linguistic aspects of codeswitching to cultural aspects of living in two languages. We examine how bilingual children acquire two languages,
consider the experiences of bilingual adults, and study bilingualism as a societal phenomenon (diglossia and
language choice, language policies, linguistic identity, language rights, linguistic minorities, etc.). Students do not
need to speak a Slavic language. The bilingual experience of emotions and language maintenance and linguistic
diversity in the Pacific Northwest are two important topics of the course. There is a service-learning project, in
which students conduct a survey of a minority language spoken in our community, i.e., the greater Seattle area. It
can be a language of an immigrant community or a Native American language.

I want to take this course because I have enjoyed studying language and took 5 years of Spanish
and 1 quarter of Italian. I also would like to explore why people who speak two languages
fluently (no significant language barrier with the majority) seem to connect best with others who
speak the same native language.
M E 123: Introduction to Visualization and Computer-Aided Design
Methods of depicting three-dimensional objects and communicating design information. Development of threedimensional skills through freehand sketching and computer-aided design using parametric solid modeling.

I attempted to take an intro to CAD class while in high school but it was canceled due to low
enrollment so I will finally be able to see what I missed out on. If I am able to follow my plan,
this will also be the first ME class I ever take!
Honors 222 A: Disaster Science: Interdisciplinary Exploration of Marine Oil Spills
(Spring 2013)
Description Unavailable

Although I do not yet know exactly what this class will cover, the name interests me. Oil spills
are contemporary problem with global affects so this class seems to have real-world applications.
I am excited to see how science applied to an actually situation instead of the hypotheticals used
in textbooks.
