MISSING STUDENT POLICY (RESIDENT STUDENTS) It is the policy of the Office of Residential Programs at Hofstra University to investigate any report of a missing student living in one of the University’s residence halls.

All students residing in a campus residence hall are requested to complete a Confidential Contact Information Form, available upon check-in to their residence hall. The resident student is asked to identify the name and contact number of the individual(s) who is to be contacted in the event the student is determined to be missing, as set forth below.

Hofstra understands that students may make arrangements to stay outside of the residential halls, and as such, the location of students in the halls is not monitored by resident assistants or other University staff. If a student intends to leave his or her residence hall for an extended period of time, the student is strongly encouraged to advise the residence hall staff before leaving, to avoid the student being reported “missing.”

If, however, there is reason to believe a resident student is missing, all reasonable efforts will be made to locate the student to determine his or her state of health and wellbeing. These efforts, which are done in conjunction with Public Safety, include, but are not limited to, checking the student’s room, speaking with friends and/or roommates, checking ID access, locating the resident student’s vehicle and calling the student’s cell phone number or other known contact information.

If upon investigation by Public Safety, the resident student is determined missing, staff from Public Safety and/or Student Affairs will contact the resident’s designated “Confidential Contact” within 24 hours. For any resident student under the age of 18, Hofstra will notify a custodial parent or guardian, in addition to any other individual designated on the Confidential Contact Information Form, within 24 hours after the time the resident student is determined to be missing by the Department of Public Safety. Public Safety will continue to investigate, utilizing established investigative procedures in collaboration with staff from Residential Programs, other campus offices and local law enforcement agencies. When a “Confidential Contact” cannot be located or has not been assigned, Public Safety will inform the appropriate law enforcement agency and/or make contact with the student’s parents or legal guardian.

REPEATED COURSE The last day to file the Repeated Course Form is January 11, 2010.

PASS/D+/D/FAIL OPTION The student has sole discretion to elect this option for the first one-third of the course (deadline is January 7, 2010).

The course is designed as an art historical survey, but more than two thirds of its class sessions meet in 11 different museums rather than in the classroom, and instead of usual slides, students deal with original objects of art. Starting with Egyptian and classical art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the class proceeds to the medieval art collections of the Cloisters, explores the old masters in The Frick Collection, and visits the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum. Other less known, but nonetheless great institutions, such as the American Numismatic Society, Hispanic Society and Neue Gallery, will provide the actual materials for some special topics.

Middle and Secondary School 3 s.h.

10084: TR; 3:30-8:50 p.m.; Plonczak; 036 Hagedorn This course focuses on the basic content, principles and guidelines for teaching using hands-on approaches to middle school science and applications of technology. Teachers of high school science will find this course of great benefit as well because it includes elementary principles of physics and chemistry and in-depth exploration of instructional approaches in life sciences and earth science; applications of mathematical concepts and skills in the study of science; applications of scientific learning and achievement in the sciences; and critical approaches to the benefits and hazards of technology. Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Course is cross-listed with CT 282S and SED 282S.

192Z. American Killers, American Saints 3 s.h.

10245: MTWRF, 5:30-9:15 p.m.; Fichtelberg; 101 Brower Much like a common language or heritage, violence is essential to social order.

Governments enforce laws by threatening punishment, and nations impose their will by preparing for war. Yet violence, anthropologists tell us, can also serve sacred ends, promote faith, or draw believers closer to God. Americans have long understood this paradox. Our culture has used violence to unify and inspire, even as violent acts have scarred and harmed. This course will explore the social uses of violence—its beauty and terror, its senselessness and serious purpose—by examining great American texts. We will range widely from the 17th through the 20th centuries. Beginning with Indian captivity narratives by Mary Rowlandson and Charles Brockden Brown, we will later consider the turbulent period ending in civil war, reflected in the stories of Edgar Allen Poe, the poetry of Walt Whitman, and Stephen Crane’s great novel, The Red Badge of Courage. Texts in the 20th century include F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and short stories by Ernest Hemingway. We will conclude the course with a Vietnam-era novel, Ron Kovic’s Born on the Fourth of July, and view the film adaptation by Oliver Stone, starring Tom Cruise. Throughout the course we will explore the mysterious process that renders even the greatest villains symbols of national redemption. Written requirements include two response papers and two longer essays.

300. Departmental Seminar 3 s.h.

10119: TBA This serves as an integrative and culminating function with respect to the student’s studies and experiences in the School of Education, Health and Human Services.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Matriculation in the department and completion of all required course work in professional education. Successful completion of ELED 300 may be offered in place of the departmental comprehensive examination. This course may not be used to satisfy any part of the basic semester hour requirements for a master’s degree in elementary education. Pass/Fail grade only.

ENGLISH (ENGL)

196W. Literary London: Hofstra in London Program 3 s.h.

10059: Jan. 2-22; Sulcer/Fixell; Hofstra in London Program; see page 19.

The course will examine both the works and the sites of English literature. In conjunction with our study of the city’s literary heritage, we will read a wide array of authors, from John Donne to Samuel Johnson to Virginia Woolf. The readings will focus in particular on Romantic and Victorian London, with selective works by such writers as William Blake, John Keats, Oscar Wilde, and Charles Dickens.

We will also have the opportunity to take advantage of literary walking tours, visits to historic literary homes, and dramatic readings of literary works, among other organized activities. Since many of the readings are closely linked to the visual arts, we will tour a variety of museums, including the National and Tate Galleries, the British Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

184A. The Courtly Love Tradition 3 s.h.

10367: MTWRF, 11:20 a.m.-3:05 p.m.; MacCary; 134 Gallon Wing This is the most important cultural development in Western Europe between the end of the classical era and the Renaissance. Suddenly, in the South of France, in about 1090, men began to celebrate and idealize women; this had never happened before, and it would continue through various stages of high seriousness, mysterious inversion, satire and parody until the early 1600s, when we find its last permutations in Cervantes and Shakespeare. We shall trace its origins from classical Arab love poetry in southern Spain, through the troubadours, the writers of romance, the short tales of Marie de France and Boccaccio, Dante’s lyrics and epic, Chaucer, “Gawain,” and other equally strange and intriguing texts. We shall also consider the parallel development of the Cult of the Virgin Mary.

250H. Readings in English: Contemporary British Theater-London 3 s.h.

10066: Jan. 2-22; Digaetani/Fixell; Hofstra in London Program; see page 19.

Students in this course read, study, discuss and write about contemporary British theater—that is British drama since World War II. Among the playwrights to be studied are Samuel Beckett, John Osborne, Tom Stoppard, Harold Pinter, David Hare, Alan Ayckbourn, Peter Shaffer, Michael Frayn, and Christopher Hampton.

Since the course will be taught in London, class work will be supplemented with performances of contemporary plays, along with the classics of world theater (depending on what is being staged in London at the time). Class work will be augmented with performances at the Royal National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End and/or fringe performances and a backstage tour of the Royal National Theatre. The course will include four theater performances. Optional theater performances are available as well. The course will introduce students to the city of London as the literary and dramatic capital of the English speaking world. The British Library will be used as a major resource for literary research.

127.

Shakespeare’s Comedy 3 s.h.

10268: MTWRF, 12:50-4:35 p.m.; Jarvis; 101 Brower Comedy is a dramatic structure in which the reversal of fortune goes from bad to good, and moves toward the resolution of social conflicts through recognition, union, and reunion. For Shakespeare, this means the formation of a new society out of a flawed one, through the institutions of class and marriage.
