FLCC ANNOUNCES HONORS COURSES FOR THE SPRING 2006 SEMESTER
CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (Dec. 1, 2005) - Two new honors seminars will be offered at Finger Lakes Community College during the Spring 2006 semester (Jan. 24 - May 19). Both classes are three-credit honors courses.
"Mythological Foundations of Music, Classical to Contemporary" (HON 100) will be offered Tuesday evenings from 6:30-9:20 p.m. Led by Assistant Professor of Music David McGuire and Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Honors Program Curtis Nehring Bliss, students will examine several mythically inspired compositions from various musical periods and styles. Through comparative analysis of myth and music, students will discover universal themes of human experience with musicians ranging from Igor Stravinsky to the Grateful Dead.
"The Hearth Project: A Writer's Retreat"(HON 200) will give students the chance to explore philosophy, literature, and the arts by combining class time with required retreats at the FLCC Muller Field Station on Honeoye Lake. Led by Instructor of English Alton Jowers and Associate Professor of Philosophy John Talbot, students will have the opportunity to build a foundation in the humanities and then reinforce these experiences through an immersion in nature. The retreats will encourage interdisciplinary activities ranging from prose and poetry to painting and music while instilling a greater love and understanding of nature. The class will meet on the following dates:
Thursday, January 26, 2006, 6:30 - 9:20 p.m.
The weekends of February 24-26; March 24-26; and April 21-23
FLCC honors courses are designed to present stimulating, enriching material through discussion and study in a manner that encourages critical thinking and creative self-expression. Students who successfully complete a series of honors courses may earn an honors certificate upon graduation, which may increase their transfer options to four-year institutions.
