This course is designed to prepare digital-era students in all fields of study for professional achievement in a technologically sophisticated, global, networked environment. The course is structured around three central elements of “digital literacy” -- 1) human perception & cognition, 2) computers & electronic intelligence, & 2) the network architecture of the digital web. It is a rigorous intellectual introduction to the fundamental principles on which these technologies are based. There are no perquisites & those from the technologically challenged to the techno-geeks are welcome. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of human attention, how sound waves, light waves & electromagnetic waves work & what computers and routers do. . This is a “flipped course” – what would normally be in-class lectures and demonstrations are available online as curricular modules & can be viewed at students’ convenience (& reviewed as appropriate) much like traditional reading assignments. In-person class sections are used for dialog, discussion & Q & A with the instructor.

This course explores the civil rights movement roots of Berkeley’s historic student
revolt, the reasons for the Free Speech Movement’s success in attracting student support and changing campus policy, its impact on the history of free speech, and on the rise of both the New Left and the Reaganite Right. This course ends with reflections on the state of free speech on campus in our own century when that freedom is often slighted, dismissed or weaponized by student groups on the left and right and the corporate groups that subsidize them, leaving us with
the question of whether the Free Speech Movement is still relevant to the campus scene today.

This course dives into the captivating world of children’s literature to explore picture books as a sophisticated art form where visual and verbal storytelling converge. Students develop critical skills to analyze how illustrators use artistic techniques, visual metaphor, and pictorial language to convey complex ideas with emotional resonance; how contemporary picture books tackle sophisticated themes, social issues, and abstract concepts through distinctive visual styles; and why some of the classics remain favorites today. We delve into integrated approaches to instruction, leveraging children’s books to augment lesson planning, establish cross-disciplinary entry points into subjects, and identify literary genres. While useful for educators, the course is designed for anyone interested in visual storytelling, art appreciation, or the intersection of fine art and narrative.
