7(One Credit Hours)
HON 120-301 Film, Food, and Spectacle
Sue Richardson and Stephanie Richardson
Using food as visual spectacle for our point of study, students in this class will learn ways food serves as a
means to develop character and story, to interrogate meaning/ideology, and to understand culture, including
visual culture and national culture. They will do "close readings" of how the food is presented to define plot,
character and meaning, and how that meaning ultimately functions rhetorically and ideologically. In addition,
they will prepare dishes that will facilitate their understanding about how this study of food as spectacle pro-
vides insights about culture, since film determines what is privileged in our culture (screened) and what is not
(not screened).
HON 120-302 A m igos y Escolares
Valerie Rider
Would you like to make a beautiful contribution to Wilmington’s growing Hispanic community, while improv-
ing your Spanish language skills at the same time? Altruism is alive and well, and right here in UNCW’s
Honors program! Honors students make a significant impact by serving as tutors and mentors for Hispanic
elementary school children. See what it’s like to forge ties with children who benefit from your attention, while
they act as your very own Spanish professor. SPN 201 prerequisite to assure language proficiency.
HON 120-303 Corrections and Criminal Justice
Richard Davis
This class will explore the myriad of etiologies of why people commit crimes, and our society's correctional/
rehabilitation efforts via prisons and jails. Taught by a retired North Carolina Corrections Manager with 30
years of experience that students can use to grasp the complexities of this part of the criminal justice system.
To enhance this course there may be guest speakers from various local agencies and there will be a mandatory
tour of our local jail. This class will be of interest to students considering to major or minor in Criminology,
Sociology, Psychology, and Anthropology, and/or pursue a career in Law, Juvenile Delinquency, Law En-
forcement, Courts, and /or Corrections
HON 120-304 Rhetoric and Science
David Bollinger
This course will examine the tropes and rhetorical patterns inherent in conspiracy theory thinking, in its
'construction phase' to its 'implementation phase'. It will be multimedia in format and interdisciplinary in its
approach. We will examine conspiratorial thinking in many manifestations, using textual, historical, social
psychological and philosophical modes of analysis. We will explore the inherent appeal and logic of conspira-
torial thinking as well as its ultimate weaknesses.
Early in the semester each student will choose a conspiracy theory on which they will become an expert to the
rest of the class. Smaller papers though the semester will center on the different modes of analysis and will
become a larger portfolio at the end of the session. The final product is an in-class presentation of each stu-
dent's findings.
HON 120– 305 Next Up: A Studio for Thinking about Thesis and/or Graduate
School
Shawn Bingham
Checklists and multiple choice exams will not get you very far when college ends. This workshop will provide
an ongoing venue to prepare for the thesis experience and for thinking about graduate school or the next steps
beyond your undergraduate experience. How do you start thesis, find a good topic of inquiry and begin the
process? What kind of story do you want to be able to tell about yourself when your thesis is done and how
does this relate to applying to graduate school or the job market? (Hint: these are connected.) Workshop your
ideas and confusion and learn from other students and faculty.
8HON 120-306 Science of Harry Potter
Nathaniel Grove
Few works of literary fiction have had as much of an impact on popular culture than the Harry Potter series.
The magical world created by author J. K. Rowling is replete with the seemingly impossible, and yet, the crea-
tion of many of the spells, creatures, and magical artifacts may be possible with modern science. Can a creature
like Fluffy really exist? Is it possible to use broomsticks to fly or for a potion to create love? How feasible
would it be to create an invisibility cloak? Using biology, chemistry, and physics, we will explore how the
seemingly impossible can be achieved.
HON 120-308 Medical Humanities
Nathan Crowe
Medical Humanities is designed to introduce students to the broader field
of medical an health humanities, an interdisciplinary field of study that brings together different perspectives
from the humanities and social sciences regarding health, disease, and medicine. Humanities disciplines
demonstrate that terms like 'healthy', 'sick,' 'disease,' and 'medicine' are not easily definable .
HON 121-300 Honors in Peru: From the Capital to Machu Picchu. (HON 212 and
trip to Peru required
Valerie Rider
As we interpret the phrase “applied learning” , our students will be, on a daily basis while in the foreign coun-
try, incorporating what they learned in the classroom in a variety of ways. The most obvious application of
learning is students’ use of the language skills they acquired in the classroom. Entwined with language skills
acquisition is the development of another: cultural awareness, which leads to cultural appreciation. It is not
sufficient to merely “tell” students about other cultures. What I propose to do in these course offerings high-
lighting peripatetic learning is provide our students opportunities to move at a slower pace by walking signifi-
cant portions of the country they have chosen to explore.
HON 121-301 Happiness Emphasis - Denmark
Rebecca Rampe
We will meet monthly throughout the Spring 2019 semester. This seminar reviews happiness as an important
factor in a country’s public policy development and social progress with perceived happiness providing people

This course explores Denmark from a variety of perspectives and themes, culminating in a study abroad expe-
rience in Denmark! Course exploration topics include Denmark’s social welfare system, the concept of hygge,
sustainability and renewable energy, immigration, Danish influence on U.S. culture, and why Denmark con-
sistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world.
HON 121-303 Barrier Island Field Methods and Public Policy
Chris Shank
This course sill introduce students to key physical, chemical, geological and biological processes that influence
the ecological health of barrier island habitats. Students will apply field methodologies on Bald Head Island

Sciences (e.g., Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science). Students will experience reading
research from a variety of areas of specializations and complete Internal Review Board certifications. Students
will also explore avenues in the major for potential research projects. Students will study research methodolo-
gies and topics from areas throughout the Social Sciences. Students will explore topics for their own research
projects, including interviews with faculty. Students will read and write about research (Information Literacy).
Students will develop an outline for a research project. Students will become certified as credible researchers
(IRB).
HON 191-004 Sciences
Peter Fritzler
This class is designated as an introduction to scientific research in the university, including the goals, challeng-
es, and benefits of academic research in the university. Students will begin to learn the skills required to define
a research topic, build a knowledge base surrounding the topic, locate data sources, establish appropriate ana-
lytical methods, obtain necessary funding and training, and disseminate their results. They will also become
familiar with the scientific research support structure at UNCW, including faculty laboratories, library re-
sources, and offices that support research efforts such as CSURF, Office of Sponsored Research Programs, and

(e.g., painting, photography, and film) .We will explore multiple types of research, everything from using li-
brary databases to conducting interviews, to working in archives and special collections. Students will have the
opportunity to investigate potential avenues of future scholarship, including– but not limited to– The Honors
Thesis project.
1011
HON 210-300 Yes to Ulysses
Alex Porco and Nicholas Crawford
Everybody can and should read James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922). That was the clear message in 1934, when
Joyce’s American publisher, Random House, printed an advertisement for the novel, letting it be known that
“Ulysses is not difficult to read, and it richly rewards each reader in wisdom and pleasure. So thrilling an ad-
venture into the soul and mind and heart of man has never before been charted.” Such adventure notwithstand-
ing, Random House’s decision to publish words of encouragement to potential readers suggests that many did
indeed find the novel “difficult.” To get a sense of the novel’s apparent difficulty, one need only note the many
available guidebooks for tackling the novel dating all the way back to Stuart Gilbert’s seminal study in 1930.
HON 210-301 Gender and Invention of Technology
Sarah Hallenbeck
Would it surprise you to know that the microwave was first sold in the electronics section of department stores,
geared toward young bachelors who didn’t know how to cook? Or that electric cars were available during the
early twentieth century, but (mostly male) drivers preferred the dirtier and noisier experience of the gas-
powered car? In this class, we’ll explore these unexpected moments in the history of technology and others,
focusing in particular on the ways that technologies—such as the microwave and the automobile—become
gendered, affecting who uses them, to what ends they are used, and how we think of what it means to be
“masculine” or “feminine” in the first place.
HON 210-302 Hurricane Florence: A Retrospective on Science, Policy, and Man-
agement
Lynn Leonard
This seminar will explore the natural and social impacts of Hurricane Florence on coastal North Carolina. The
seminar will begin with an examination of the physical phenomena controlling storm development, storm
characteristics, and storm path. Students will also closely evaluate conditions that contributed to the massive
flooding experienced after storm landfall. Through a combination of readings and presentations given by ex-
pert guest speakers from a variety of disciplines (e.g. National Weather Service, Emergency Managers, State &
Municipal agency representatives, academics etc.), students will also examine how the immediate impacts of
storm landfall and secondary impacts of post-storm flooding affected communities and ecosystems in south-
eastern NC. Students will also learn about the longer-term societal impacts of the storm from storm survivors,
volunteers, and agency representatives tasked with storm recovery.
HON 210 UNCW and Digital Publishing
Kathryn Barber
Honors 210 will focus on the publishing industry as related to UNCW publications and digital mediums specif-
ically. The first half of the semester will focus on various publishing opportunities available at UNCW, as well
as publications distributed by various departments across campus, including Ecotone literary magazine, Look-
out Books, the Creative Writing Department’s Publishing Laboratory, Chautauqua literary magazine, Atlantis,
Second Story, UNCW Magazine, and Her Campus magazine. Students will become familiar with UNCW
publications and what makes them well-designed and aesthetically successful, and understand the process of a
manuscript’s journey from a computer screen to a bookshelf. The second half of the semester will focus on the
art of digital publishing and how the industry is shifting from page to screen. Students will create an imaginary
publication relevant to their major and produce digital content aimed to make their proposed business succeed.
HON 212-300
El condor y el toro: Indigenous and Spanish Peru Prerequisite SPN 120 or SPN 102
or Co-req SPN 201
Valerie Rider
This program’s objectives are to provide students the opportunity to explore the history and culture of coastal
and highland Peru. The focus is on gaining knowledge and appreciation of Peru’s indigenous cultures
(especially those of the highland Andes), as well as an understanding of what the Spanish conquistadores dis-
covered upon their arrival in Peru, and how the dramatic contact between two vastly different peoples played
out through the centuries.
12CHM 102-300 General Chemistry II
Mike Messina
In depth study of the fundamental laws, principles and theories of chemistry. Introduction to techniques and
equipment used in the chemical laboratory. Interpretation of experimental results.
COM 116-300 Performance of Literature (University Studies credit: AIL and LDN)
Julie Ann Scott Pollock
Designed to offer students an opportunity to “embody” culture, self, and the voice of the “Other” through the
performance of texts. This course serves as an introduction to the art of performance as a communicative prac-
tice, focusing on the dynamic relationship between the performer, texts, culture, and the audience as we struggle
to perform and re-perform cultural truths, meanings, and identities. Throughout the semester we will use perfor-
mance to interpret and critique culture through locating ourselves in relation to the texts our cultures produce
and reproduce. Together we will grapple with what it means to conceptually take on the words and role of the
“Other” for and with an audience. Performance and reflection serve as means to illuminate the ongoing process
of how we come to know who we are in time and space through the interpretation and creation of cultural texts.
This course serves as an introduction to the communication subdiscipline of performance studies that investi-
gates how we become us and them through continued embodied interaction. To adapt this course to an honor's
level students will compose and deliver concise position statements following their positions that situate the
arguments and identities within their selected texts within relevant academic studies to connect academic re-
search with current texts. Students will also create high quality videos of their performances that demonstrate
their ability to connect with an audience through public speaking and aesthetic communication
ECN 222-300 Macroeconomics (University Studies credit: UHIB)
Brandon Brice
Prerequisite: ECN 221. Aggregate economic analysis examining the effects of fiscal and monetary policy upon
aggregate employment, income and prices at an introductory level. Partially satisfies University Studies II:
Approaches and Perspectives/Understanding Human Institutions and Behaviors.
ENG 103-300 College Writing and Reading (University Studies credit: COMP)
Kimberly Faxon Hemingway
This course is an accelerated, one-semester version of the first-year composition sequence. Honors English 103
seeks to incite critical thinking about a variety of local and global issues and motivate writing based on inquiry,
balance, informed voice, and a tolerant intellectual stance. It is designed specifically to challenge the student to:
-familiarize oneself with a body of facts, interpretations, or opinions about a given topic
-articulate questions that can be examined profitably through research
-survey and assess conflicting facts, interpretations, or opinions
-adopt and support a position, while also remaining tolerant toward conflicting points-of-view and
acknowledging their appeal.
HST 103-300 Intro to Global History. Trip to Spain Required (University Studies
credit: HPA/LGS)
Eva Mehl
This is an introduction to the large-scale structures and processes that transformed the world between the mid-
fifteenth and the mid-nineteenth centuries (circa 1450-1850). These three centuries marked an era in which the
interconnection and integration of the Western and non-Western worlds increased dramatically, laying the foun-
dations for today’s global connectedness. This survey explores these interactions and their effects on peoples
and cultures around the world. Working with texts written by historical actors will help you develop advanced
skills in historical thinking and analysis. You will learn that history is not a finished product but constantly in
the making. As part of the study of this topic, this course requires an applied learning experience in the form of
a trip to Spain over Spring Break. The tr ip will enrich the students’ understanding of the Spanish empire as a
crucial piece in the development of an early modern global world by visiting places (Seville, Granada, and La
Rabida) relevant to course materials.
13MAT 162-300 Calculus with Analytic Geometry 2
Zhuan John Ye
This is the second course of Calculus series. In order to enhance these honors students' logical thinking skills,
abstract thinking skills and critical thinking skills, we will do project-based work in the manner of lectures,
discussions and application of technology in the weekly seminar, as well as outside the classroom.
OCN 150-300 Introduction to Oceanography
Ai Ning Loh
The purpose of this class is to introduce some basic concepts of oceanography. By the end of the semester, the
student is expected to master these basic concepts, and also be able to integrate them to explain simple oceano-
graphic related phenomenon such as (but not limited to) occurrence of earthquakes, the role of the oceans in
determining weather and climate, environmental stress and marine organisms, building on moving beaches,
primary and secondary production, estuaries as nurseries of the sea, and effects of man on the marine environ-
ment. For the Honors sections, there will be less lecturing and more time devoted to class activities and discus-
sion, as well as the discussion of select current topic
ENG 290-300 Literature, Foodways, and Culture of the Global South
Jennifer Lozano
The Global South, which spans the mostly southern nations formerly labeled “third world,” has a rich if often o
bscured history and cultural heritage. This class will investigate the idea of the Global South, the various voice
s that shape it, and what it has to do with our everyday lives. We will approach this task by reading essays, liter
ature, and films created from a Global South perspective, as well as examining the way activists, educators, an
d leaders have responded to conditions of the Global South by altering their own local actions. From tourism, “
fast fashion,” and cuisine to international sporting events.
PSY 105-300 General Psychology
Erica Noles
Psychology is the study of behavior, thoughts, and emotions. This course will review the major areas within psychology to lay
the foundation for understanding human behavior. There will be a strong focus on the importance of empirically collected data
and how psychology research directly applies to your life and society. You will learn to find academic sources, evaluate news
articles, and use critical thinking skills to evaluate claims.
MUS 230-300 Women in Music
Helena Spencer
Survey and analysis of music literature composed and performed by women, as well as examination of roles
and representations of women in music, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Focus on Western classical
and jazz traditions, with inclusion of additional representative examples from global and popular musics.
INT 315-300 Topics in Globalization: Social and Cultural Issues in Globalization
Florentina Andreescu
The course explores the contemporary cultural and social changes happening in the context of globalization. It addresses the
ways in which various global and local cultural arenas reflect and are transformed by late capitalism's societal shift towards a
mode of existence where images and consumerist desires have become the driving force. The included topics explore how this
shift transforms the understanding of identity, traditions, family, community, intimacy, work, the body, time, and space. Dur-
ing our study, special attention will be directed towards different forms of identity constructions, especially to the role new
technology and media’s expansion to every corner of the globe plays in such constructions.
HST 206-300 History of Science II: Modern Science
Nathan Crowe
Rise of Modern Science surveys the creation of our modern scientific institutions and concepts beginning with
the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. It follows the rise of the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century,
the emergence of nineteenth century scientific organizations, and the creation of the modern scientific
state in the twentieth century. In doing so, students will encounter 18th century stand the Darwinian Revolution
of the 19th century, and explore how the creation of the first atomic bomb reshaped government's role in the
creation of science and technology. Honors students will be exposed to a wide variety of primary sources and
participate in in-class debates and discussions.
14PAR 225-300 Women in Religion
Jamie Brummitt
Encourages students to examine how women and men have defined themselves in relation to gender and reli-
gion in colonial America and the United States. Students will read primary and secondary sources from the
1600s to 2010s to investigate the construction of gender in Native American religions, Protestantism, Catholi-
cism, Judaism, and Islam. Primary sources will include transcripts of women on trial, accounts of women ac-
cused of witchcraft, as well as diaries, publications, and art made by women and men.
SOC 215-300 Modern Social Problems
Felix Brooks
We live in a world that some would argue is light years more advanced than any previous society. It is a world
of smart phones artificial intelligence and abundant food. Yet as a global society we still struggle with issues of
'racism, sexism, poverty, war, climate change and a host of other things that could destabilize our very exist-
ence. This class will be an exploration of these issue. We will discuss how we as a society arrived at this point
and how we might solve our most pressing conditions.
BIO 105-300 Concepts in Modern Biology
Joseph Covi
An introduction to the diversity of life and the principles governing living systems, focusing on the role of
humans in the natural world. This course Is designed for the non-biology majors in the Honors program. Stu-
dents will study human biology in the context of natural environments where humans thrive, as well as extreme
environments where exploration is ongoing. Lab and lecture are intertwined to create an engaging atmosphere
where evidence-based debate and discussion guide student inquiry about human impacts on natural systems.
Three lecture hours and three laboratory/discussion hours each week.
