Heavy Metal Lyrics (late 1960s to present) course
Heavy metal: is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock, and acid rock, heavy metal bands developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and loudness. The lyrics and performances are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo. [from Wikipedia]
This class will explore heavy metal music from its late 1960s origins until the present day. We will discuss bands within their cultural and historical contexts. We will analyze song lyrics, albums, music videos, and footage of live performances. We will have discussions based on these materials. Students are expected to participate enthusiastically. There will be weekly homework that relates to the in-class topics. There will be a midterm essay test and a final presentation.
This course is designed to help students become confident in using their English to produce written work from paragraph length to essay length.

An Introduction to India
The course will help students understand the ideas connected to modern India on key themes and develop analytical and presentation skills. Students will study the making of India and its diverse politics, cultures, ideas and traditions. The course will be based on group discussions in class and end-semester project presentation. The presentation theme will be decided in class based on discussion with the instructor.
Students focus on the relationship of art to society, politics, culture and history. We also examine the relationship of art, especially sculpture, to our immediate physical environment, which includes architecture, landscape and urban planning. Supported by survey lectures on Twentieth Century art and through workshops, students study concepts related to curating and commissioning such as site specificity and the role of public sculpture. Students use this knowledge to present projects about Art & Context during the semester with a special emphasis on Artists tackling Global Issues. Students develop the following English language skills: listening and note taking, reading, writing, seminar participation, debate and presentation. Students who intend to major in Art History, Architecture, Modern History, Philosophy, Design, Media, Urban Planning and Entrepreneurship etc. will especially benefit from this course. It is best suited to students who are comfortable taking instruction and participating in class in English.
Students learn how to express their opinions creatively in English through responding to music & lyricism. They select music from artists they admire and learn to analyse the lyrics, techniques and patterns in order to establish understanding. Song writing patterns and structures are compared and contrasted and students identify styles and genres. Students identify topics they feel strongly about and explain why these issues are important. They select songs that somehow relate to their chosen topics and deconstruct the lyrics in order to express relevance. Students develop the following English language skills: Listening, Reading, Creative Writing and Interpretation. The core subject is used as a vehicle to examine contemporary issues including: philosophy, psychology, politics, history, theology and globalization and there is a special emphasis on Artists Tackling Global Issues. This course is suitable for students who are comfortable participating in class in English and have an interest in modern music
