Course Descriptions

|
|
Course descriptions are listed in alphabetical order.
Standard information for each course includes the number, title, and credits (sometimes called credit hours or semester hours). For some courses, you will find information on the hours of class, laboratory, or studio for which the course is scheduled in each week of a regular semester; these weekly hours are expanded during summer sessions. Fees for courses are assessed on the basis of credits and other factors.
The course-numbering system generally suggests levels of difficulty and appropriateness. Courses at the 100 and 200 levels comprise introductory offerings and those are most commonly taken by freshmen and sophomores. Courses at the 300 and 400 levels are primarily for juniors and seniors. In some Purdue programs, undergraduates take courses at the 500 level, but generally courses numbered 500 and above are for graduate students.
Preparation for courses is indicated as follows:
P: indicates a prerequisite that must precede your enrollment in the course described. You may find one or more specific course numbers, the number of credits you should already have in a subject, a placement-test level, or other conditions.
C: indicates a corequisite that must be taken no later than the same semester in which you take the course described.
R: indicates a recommendation concerning conditions to be met for enrollment in the course.
When no subject code is shown for prerequisites, corequisites, and recommended courses, they are in the same subject area as the course being described. If you lack a prerequisite or corequisite, or if you wish to take a course numbered at a higher level than your present status, you should seek the department’s or instructor’s consent to enroll in the course.
V.T. means Variable Title and is shown for courses for which the title may be changed to specify the topic or other special focus of each offering.
Purdue University Fort Wayne reserves the right to add, withdraw, or change courses without notice.

HIST 32701 - Modern France And The French Empire
This course provides an introduction to the history of France and its empire over the course of the last 150 years. It covers the most important political events that impacted France and her colonies since the end of the nineteenth century, as well as considering social, cultural, and intellectual movements that influenced the course of French and imperial history. The course considers questions of identity, defining ‘Frenchness,’ over a contested period, and questioning what it meant to be a member of the greater French empire. It examines what France meant to various groups and considers ideas of belonging and the nation, studying inclusion and exclusion, and the ramifications of maintaining and living in a global empire. The course studies the complex relationship between colonized and colonizer from the viewpoints of both sides, considering both the political and emotional legacies of colonialism.

HIST 33502 - American History Through Music
This course uses developments within the American music industry to trace the larger development in United States history during the twentieth century. Turn-of-the-century ragtime becomes a lens through which to understand the cultural impact of the modern industrial economy. Surf music is a microcosm of post-war suburbanization. Motown reveals tensions between the business and civil rights communities. Led Zeppelin is treated as part of the fantastic escapism of the malaise of the 1970s. This is not a music history class per se, but rather a class that uses music to study history.

HIST 33604 - France In World War I And World War II
This class considers the history of French society, culture, and politics through participation in the First and Second World Wars. While WWI and WWII affected millions of people around the globe, France held a unique position in that in addition to the fighting, French civilians lived under harsh occupation in both world wars. This course explores the French experiences during the two world wars, considering the war experience from diverse perspectives, including those of soldiers, civilians, men, women, collaborators, resisters, and France’s imperial subjects. While the class is centered on the two world wars, it is not a military history course; rather, the course focuses on society and culture and how the war experiences shaped France, the French Empire, and its people. Along with the war experience, students will consider the shifting view of war as it was being anticipated, fought, and remembered.
