The studio projects will continue development and exploration of design abilities
introduced in previous studio courses including design process and development,
theoretical and conceptual analysis as well as verbal and visual presentation skills.
Project issues will increase in scope and complexity integrating a variety of skills and
knowledge from coursework and sources external to the studio. ARCH 302 is the
second Professional level of studios and as such, greater individual responsibility for
one’s own project is expected.

Why do some countries hold elections while others do not? Why are some states able to provide security and welfare to their citizens while others struggle to do so? Why are some countries plagued by violence while others enjoy internal peace? These questions have long animated the field of comparative politics and are among the several of which we will explore this semester.
This course will provide students with a firm foundation in the sub-field of comparative politics, preparing them for further analysis of politics around the world and across contexts. The course has two main objectives:
1. To familiarize students with the importance of theory and research design for describing, explaining, and understanding political processes. After taking this course, students should be able to distinguish between different theoretical explanations and evaluate the merit of evidence used to support them.
2. To provide students with an overview of key topics and debates in comparative politics. Students should be able to understand the basis of these debates as well as take and support positions on them.

This course investigates the structure and division of governmental powers under the United States Constitution, primarily through analysis of cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Governmental powers under the U.S. Constitution is generally divided along a vertical axis, between state and national authorities, and along a horizontal axis, across the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the national government. Specific topics to be emphasized include electoral administration, public health, climate change, legislative delegation to executive agencies, and judicial nullification of legislative and executive actions.

Introduction to the Data-Driven Business Solutions Module
Introduction
Welcome to the Data-Driven Business Solutions Module. This self-paced online module is designed for undergraduate business students who are looking to enhance their skills in using data to solve business problems. In today's data-centric world, the ability to analyze data and draw actionable insights is a critical skill for any business professional. This module will guide you through the process of identifying business problems, selecting and analyzing relevant data, developing data-driven solutions, and effectively communicating your findings.
Throughout this module, you will engage with various educational resources, including readings, videos, interactive activities, and quizzes. Each unit is structured to build upon the previous one, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the data analysis process. Upon completion, you will take a comprehensive quiz to test your overall knowledge and application of the concepts learned.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this module, you will be able to:
Identify Business Problems:
- Understand and articulate various business problems that can be addressed through data analysis.
- Frame and define clear problem statements.
Select Relevant Data:
- Determine and justify the selection of appropriate data sources for specific business problems.
- Differentiate between qualitative and quantitative data and understand their uses.
Analyze Data Effectively:
- Apply descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to analyze data.
- Use software tools such as Excel, Tableau, and SPSS for data analysis and visualization.

This course will focus on political institutions and their effects on voters, political parties, the economy, policymaking, representation, and more. We will study political institutions comparatively, using countries as our units of analysis. In addition to a focus on electoral institutions, we will discuss presidentialism, parliamentarism, federalism, welfare institutions, and how institutions can be used to address historical inequalities. We will use the tools we acquire to better understand how government works across several countries. This course will also introduce students to the basics of social science research. Students should leave this course with greater familiarity in understanding and communicating social science research, as well as how to better analyze institutions on their own.

Romantic and passionate love is mostly a cultural phenomenon that has been constructed over centuries of civilization and has become a subject of universal fascination. Love is a magnetic topic to investigate in a Humanities classroom as it addresses a web of other related issues and calls in numerous disciplines such as psychology, psychoanalysis, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature, fine arts, music, and hard science such as biology and medicine. This course will focus mainly on the unmatched contribution by French culture to the shaping of love throughout the Western world, as French have “invented” love according to American scholar Marylin Yalom (2012), but it will also explore love in many other cultures including the USA, the Middle East and Asia. Students will discover the most famous love stories of all times that have inspired literary masterpieces and fairy tales as well as art works, musicians, and filmmakers. They will also get a better understanding of how this powerful feeling contributed to enduring myths that permeate contemporary culture and became among the greatest seminal ideas of the world. Past students wrote this on this class in their evaluation: "The most amazing course I've ever taken in my life," "a mind-altering experience," "captivating," "Surveys love throughout 2000 years," "truly exceptional," "a most memorable experience," "I'd take it again!," "by far the best course I have taken during my entire college experience," "moving", "engaging," "enriching," "crucial," "helped me understand other materials in my other classes," "I applied every lesson to my real life," "phenomenal," "It changed my life."

Many of the most important buildings, objects, and ideas in design history are located in or near Florence—from Brunelleschi’s dome to the latest hyper-car from Ferrari. This sketch and analysis course will allow you to see, to study, and to engage these critical works of design through daily sketching assignments. Many of the most world’s most renowned designers once did the same; learning to be designers by analyzing the most important design artifacts in history—the buildings, objects, and ideas that have been most influential to design. What better way to learn about design than to spend six weeks experiencing, first-hand, the most incredible design artifacts in the world? What better way to learn how to draw than to practice daily? In the great tradition of the ‘Grand Tour’, we will visit, draw, and analyze the great works of Florence, and in doing so, learn how to design with confidence.

How do we understand the objects, buildings, and the ideas that we associate with design? What does it mean to be a designer and, as designers, how do we craft artifacts that exemplify Vitruvius’ call for utility, durability, and beauty? In this course, students will explore the reasons why some objects and buildings have had a lasting impact through readings and discussions of some of the most significant writings on craft and its relationship to design. Because the buildings and objects of design are best experienced in person, our discussions will take place in the buildings, museums, and workshops that best illustrate the ideas from our readings; the Galleria dell’Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, the Museo Galileo, Brunelleschi’s Duomo, the Vespa Museum, and several others. This is a companion course to DSGN 471G – Field Analysis and it is strongly recommended that the two courses be taken together.
