HC Announcements & Events

NEW! Sign-ups now open for Honors College Winter Book Clubs!
An Honors College winter tradition is back! Sign-ups are now open for the HC’s Winter Community Book Clubs! Each year, the HC invites a handful of university community members to select a book to share with a small group of HC students. This year’s group hosts include distinguished university leaders, faculty, and alumni. Group members each get a free copy of their group’s book to read over the break, and groups meet with their host to discuss the book at the beginning of winter term. This is a fantastic way to make connections and explore exciting books together. Attendance at the group meeting is a requirement of participation, so please sign up only for a group you can join for the winter meeting and plan accordingly. Two groups have remote participation options. Students who sign up first have priority in group assignments, so don’t delay in registering! Sign up here by December 9th.

CS 162H: Introduction to Computer Sciences II (Ecampus) 
Provides an overview of the fundamental concepts of computer science. Studies basic data structures, computer programming techniques and application of software engineering principles. Introduces analysis of programs.

CS 331H: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
Fundamental concepts in artificial intelligence using the unifying theme of an intelligent agent. Topics include agent architectures, search, games, logic and reasoning, and Bayesian networks.

PSY 202HZ: Introduction to Psychology II (Ecampus)
Scientific study of behavior and experience. Motivation and emotion; personality; social psychology, human development, psychopathology and psychotherapy.

PSY 340H: Cognitive Psychology
We will explore theories and findings from cognitive psychology—the study of the mind—and consider what they tell us about real-world tasks such as driving, studying, making financial decisions, or giving eyewitness testimony. Along the way, we will recreate some classical experiments on attention, memory, and decision making, and read some cutting- edge research on the role of our mental processes in our everyday performance.

SOC 205H: Institutions and Social Change
Sociological study of the dynamic organizational nature of society through analysis of social change and major social institutions such as family, education, religion, the economy, and political systems.

SUS 331H: Sustainability, Justice, and Engagement
Many sustainability crises are local, and the people most impacted tend to be groups already experiencing difference, lack of power, and discrimination. Transformational responses led by those most affected will be examined — responses that address the environmental problem while also building social and economic power for those affected. The tools and tactics used to achieve positive changes will be analyzed.

HC 407: Building Hope: International Service Learning
This course helps students develop an international service perspective, one that includes volunteering in vulnerable communities around the globe. Explore the complexities of international service from a variety of perspectives and learn how to balance your good intentions with cultural considerations and community”“identified needs. Discover your passions, internationalize your OSU experience, and make meaningful contributions to building a better world.

HC 407: Hidden History of Women at OSU
Women have played a foundational role in OSU’s history since its establishment in 1868, yet their contributions often remain overlooked. This class delves into the untold stories, focusing on themes and individuals that have shaped the academic and social landscape for women at OSU over 150 years. Topics include the ascent and decline of Home Economics, formal rules governing women’s lives, the impact of Title IX, and the Women’s Center’s fight against sexism and sexual violence in the 1990s. Taught by experienced archivists, the course integrates lectures, images, film, discussion, and oral history to document and contextualize women at OSU.

HC 407: Last Year Experience
This seminar examines elements of the post college experience which include, and go beyond ones career. Students will engage in ways to examine new communities, approaches to personal finance, continued personal development, navigating ones career, creating a professional portfolio and maintaining personal health from physical, mental and spiritual perspectives. Each topic will include significant class reflection and discussion.

HC 407: Tech and the Good Life
We all seek the Good Life, a life wherein our material needs are met and certain higher goods are realized, and, for many of us, technology has become a chief, if not the pre-eminent, means to it. But technology can also be an impediment to the Good Life, and the roots of this ambivalent nature of technology may lie in our own fallibilities, mental and moral. In this Colloquium, we will discuss the Good Life, why technology can be both means and impediment to it, and how to make technology more of the former and less of the latter.

HC 407: Exploring ChatGPT for Creativity and Innovation
This course offers an interdisciplinary exploration of artificial intelligence (AI) and language models through the lens of ChatGPT. Students from different majors will gain an understanding of how AI works, its limitations, and its potential applications. Through hands-on projects and discussions, students will develop skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and communication.

HC 407: Gonzo Journalism: Redefining Gonzo Journalism through the 21st Century (Ecampus)
When describing Gonzo Journalism, Hunter S. Thompson said that “the eye & mind of the journalist would be functioning as a camera, taking in the action, recording it, and reporting out with little editing.” That’s fine for 1979 when he wrote it, but how about now that we all walk around with actual cameras in our pockets? How do we define Gonzo Journalism now? How do platforms such as TikTok and Instagram change that definition? In this class, we’ll seek answers to these questions and experiment with creating gonzo TikToks of our own.

HC 407: The Holocaust in the Digital Age (Ecampus)
This class explores the historical intersection of the Holocaust and new media.  It will also analyze how social media, visualizations, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are currently being used by Holocaust researchers and educators during a time when awareness about the Holocaust is fading and antisemitic incidents are on the rise.

HC 407: Philosophy and Happiness (Ecampus)
We all have a desire to be happy. Is human need for happiness causing us to suffer while looking for an unobtainable illusion or is this desire substantial and necessary to live a fulfilled life? What is it that we are looking for? What, in fact, is happiness””can it even sustain a definition? In this course we will immerse in the wisdom of some of the greatest philosophers from various intellectual traditions, and search for answers which can become guidelines for life. 

HC 407: (How) Is a Better World Possible? Politics Between Utopia & Dystopia (Ecampus)
We are all aware that we are living in a world of imperfection, and we frequently wonder whether a better world would indeed be possible. In fact, one of the oldest problems for political and social theory is how to create an ideal state. Yet this quest for utopia has always come at the price of dystopia. An ideal state for whom? Every utopia, it seems, is someone else’s dystopia. Even the most well-meaning ideas for creating a better society will have unintended consequences.

HC 407 Eco-Comedy: Laughter and Satire in an Age of Environmental Catastrophe
Our current environmental predicament would seem to be no laughing matter. Yet comedy in general and satire in particular have long worked not only to entertain and even shock us, but also to make us think critically and self-reflectively about the complexities, contradictions, and hypocrisies of our human and social realities. To consider the uses (and abuses?) of eco-comedy, we’ll analyze and discuss recent examples in a variety of media, including editorial cartoons, animated TV shows (especially South Park), stand-up comedy routines, movies (especially Don’t Look Up [2021]), and novels (including Ned Beauman’s award-winning, wonderfully titled nearfuture eco-satire, Venomous Lumpsucker).

HC 407 Enigmatic fossils: Are Ediacaran fossils earth’s oldest animals or a failed experiment in evolution? 
What can we learn about an animal from outward appearance alone? Paleontologists wrestle with this question when peering at fossils, the preserved remains of once-living organisms. No fossils have puzzled, vexed, or inspired paleontologists more than the enigmatic Ediacaran Biota, a collection of morphologically diverse, soft-bodied organisms that appear globally in rocks from 575 ““ 541 million years ago, well before the Cambrian “˜explosion’ of animal life. We’ll scrutinize replicas of Ediacaran fossils to debate whether these organisms are related to modern phyla (or instead “˜failed experiments’ in animal evolution) and to speculate on how they lived.

HC 407 Sport Psychology: A Critical Analysis of Ted Lasso
This course will examine concepts in sport and performance psychology using the Apple TV hit series Ted Lasso. Students will analyze and debate what works and why when it comes to the mental side of sport performance, as well as translate what they learn into actionable strategies.
