Spring 11 - ITL 271, ITL 361, ITL365
ITL 100 : IT & Society - A survey of information technology innovations that changed society in fundamental ways, within the context of a more broadly defined discussion of the "history of technology." The course entails a combination of historical overview and a number of individual case studies of technology development and implementation. The latter will focus on issues of culture, the identification and solution of complex problems, and the unexpected consequences of technological advances. Prerequisites: None.
ITL 271 : New Media - An introduction to electronic media theory and practice. This course actively engages in the development and application of new media. Students will create electronic media and study the design issues regarding their implementation. Visual literacy and communication will form the basis of the theoretical explorations of this course. Prerequisites: None.
ITL 361 : Digital Imaging - A project-based course focusing upon the production of digital images. This class provides opportunities for the development of some expertise in the creation of digital imagery. The activities of this course require intensive work with computer-based image editing hardware and software; and thus this course tends to be time-intensive. The theoretical explorations of this course will focus on the study of visual culture. Prerequisites: ITL 271.
ITL 365 : Digital Film Production - A project-based course focusing upon the development of digital film and video. This course provides opportunities for the development of some expertise in digital video creation. The activities of this course include individual as well as collaborative group development projects, and intensive work with computer-based video editing hardware and software. Students will also study film, establish the ability to think and write carefully about film, and develop a critical eye for digital film enhancements and productions. Prerequisites: ITL 271.
ITL 370 : Web Design & Development - A project-based course where students will develop Web-based materials and study the design issues surrounding their production and implementation. Coding within this course currently focuses upon XHTML and CSS. The study of hypertext environments as well as digital design will form the basis of the theoretical explorations of this course. Further, students will also develop the practical ability to generate an informed critique of Internet resources, as well as a capacity for evaluation and assessment of such. This course will also examine the history and social impact of the Internet. Prerequisites: ITL 102, 271 & 301.
ART/ITL 425 : Graphic Design Studio - This course focuses on producing portfolio quality work based on creative, visual problem solving. Class assignments build upon the theory and technical skills presented in the previous four courses in the Graphic Design concentration, for which this is the capstone experience. This course does not satisfy requirements for either the art or art education major. Prerequisites: ART 108, ART 112, ITL 271,& ITL 361.
ANT 380 : Classical Archaeology - A collection of case studies in classical archaeology, this course explores numerous sites through the study of text, imagery, and archaeological reports. The primary focus of the content resides on Greek and Roman archaeology; however the ancient Near East and Egypt are also considered. Prerequisites: ANT 175 & ANT 350.
ANT 385 : Archaeology of the Southwest US - A collection of case studies in southwest archaeology, this course explores numerous sites through the study of text, imagery, and archaeological reports. The primary focus of the content resides on the culture of the ancestral puebloans of the Colorado Plateau; however, other cultures that inhabited the area of modern-day Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah will also be studied. Prerequisites: ANT 175 & ANT 350.
ANT 498 : Archaeological Study Tour - Students in this course participate in structured archaeological field or laboratory experiences. These learning opportunities can take place either on or off campus, and vary for each offering of the course. This course is the capstone experience for Anthropology. Prerequisites: Senior, or permission of instructor.
