Students in this class will take notes on the evolution of writing using a stylus and a clay tablet. We will proceed from the earliest plain tokens through pictograms to the emergence of cuneiform. After copying some Old Assyrian text, students will sign their work by writing their name in Old Assyrian. The tablets will be fired into stone, with an expected half-life of millions of years.

We will begin with the earliest plain tokens and continue through the evolution of full-blown cuneiform. Students will take their "notes" using a clay tablet and stylus. The final step will be to write their names in Old Assyrian cuneiform, and then read what they have just attached their name to. The tablets will be fired, giving them a half-life of a million years.

Students will take their "notes" about the process that led to writing using a clay tablet. We will begin with the earliest "simple tokens" and proceed to the origins of cuneiform. The final piece of the class will give students an opportunity to write their names in Old Assyrian cuneiform. The tablets will then be fired giving them an expected half-life of a million years.

We will follow the evolution of writing from the earliest plain tokens through to the development of cuneiform. Students will take notes on a clay tablet and will conclude by writing their names in cuneiform. Tablets will be fired and have an expected half-life of about a million years.

Application of the processes of Science to Science itself leads to the conclusion that an entity with all the necessary properties of G-d must exist -- or Science itself will rest on shaky grounds. Come find out why.

Although this description was submitted before the polls opened, by SPLASH the voting will presumably be over and it will be time to try to figure out what happened, why, and perhaps what can be done to ensure it doesn't happen again.

There has been a great deal written and spoken about Pres. Obama's "deal" with Iran over its nuclear program. Much less of this has been useful than one would hope for an issue this important. Several critical factors have been excluded almost entirely. This class will address questions such as: Why did Pres. Obama initiate the talks with Iran in the first place? What if Iran already has, or has access to, nuclear weapons? How does the "deal" evolve over time? And finally what political consequences might there be for how the "deal" came to be and how it works out.

By identifying certain themes that connect the various sciences, it is possible to derive a scientific requirement for an entity having all the essential properties of God. Along the way, we will discuss the role of pure chance in physics and chemistry, what distinguishes life from non-life, why animals are different from other living things, what distinguishes humans from other animals, and the role of civilization. Although it will not be highly technical, this course is not for the intellectually faint of heart.

Come learn how writing came to be while taking your notes on a clay tablet. The program culminates with your being invited to write your name on the tablet in cuneiform. Tablets will be fired and returned to you, good for some tens of thousands of years.

Recognition of the relationship between physics, biology, sociology, and culture lead to a proof of the existence of G-d that follows all the rules of Science. Come find out what this relationship is and how it leads to a requirement for an entity with all the essential properties of G-d.

A proper understanding of the scientific enterprise requires the existence of an entity with all the essential properties of God. Come find out why this is the case and what it means for the debate between science and religion. You will come away with a very different understanding of both science and religion. Although this class is not highly technical, it would be useful for students to be generally familiar with the central ideas in physics, chemistry, and biology.

Which came first, reading or writing? Find out how reading and writing came to be, taking your notes in an historically-appropriate manner: in clay using the markings of the era. At the end of the session, you will write your name in cuneiform. The tablet will be fired, and returned to you before the end of ESPrinkler.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union built up vast arsenals of nuclear weapons in pursuit of a strategy called "Mutual Assured Destruction." (MAD) The idea behind MAD was that if each country expected to be destroyed by the other in the event of war, neither would initiate an attack. Since we are still here, the strategy "worked." In the last few years, a new strategy has emerged that would enable a state with only a small number of nuclear weapons to destroy a much larger enemy. That strategy is called an electro-magnetic pulse attack, or EMP for short. In this program, we will discuss the effects of nuclear weapons, how an EMP attack would destroy an enemy, and finally both how the United States could protect itself as a nation and how you could prepare for the eventuality of such an attack.

Most leadership training programs leave out the key question, namely how leaders actually affect their groups. This course will fill this gap. We will cover the three processes that take place in every group: resource recruitment, combination of those resources, and distribution of the results; resource categories; modes of leader influence on member motivation; and leader motivational profiles. Suggested for students who would like to be more effective leaders.
