Courses

LING 150 - Structure of English Words

"Word structure and word derivation in English: Greek- and Latin-derived vocabulary; Germanic- and Romance- derived derivational rules. Dynamic structure of the English lexicon: prefixes, suffixes, and morphology."

Instructor: Carey Benom

This was my favorite course of the term! The teacher was a grad student who really enjoyed the subject and presented it in a very accessible format. I learned a lot from the course and I will probably take another linguistics class later. I definitely recommend this course interested at all in language.

MUS 358 - Music in World Cultures

"An introduction to the study and appreciation of music in its cultural contexts in sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, and Indonesia. Students sharpen their listening skills and open their minds to aesthetics and ways of organizing music which may differ from generally accepted perceptions and approaches of Western culture. Listening, analysis, reading, and discussion are supplemented with films, participatory music-making, live demonstrations by local and visiting artists, and attendance at local festivals, concerts, and other events."

Professor Mark Levy

A very interesting course. I learned a lot about cultures outside of Western civilization and the kinds of music they play. It was really neat being able to play on a real Gamelan instrument. The lectures were interesting, although early in the morning. Homework load wasn't too bad either.

MATH 112 - Elementary Functions

"Trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions and their graphs."

I jumped into this course a week into it, and I definitely struggled to catch up. It got easier as it went along though. Just a university requirement.

MUS 397 - Repertoire Singers

"The Repertoire Singers is the newest addition to the University of Oregon's choral program. The choir is a select 35-voice ensemble which is directed each term by two or three graduate students in conducting. Repertoire is drawn from all musical periods and styles."

Professor Sharon Paul

This was a lot of fun! Laid back, just show up and sing with a bunch of people. There was a huge range of people there. Everyone from freshmen to grad students to adults! It's a great chance to sing in a choir without all the pressures of a regular choir.
