This course examines business trends and business structures in emerging markets located in the region of focus. The course initially focuses on the country context, the foundational elements of political, social, and economic history, by drawing on readings from key economic development texts to set the stage for business context in the selected emerging market countries to be visited. This course discusses the evolution of conglomerate enterprises and business networks. It introduces students to examples of corporate organization and management of these enterprises, and elaborates how these structures impact the success of companies from the region of study. The course will examine the policies and case examples of new start-up business development and entrepreneurship, and how economies in the region are adapting structures to shape an innovation economy. The course will also explore business practices in the countries of study, providing students with an understanding of business culture, protocol, and business customs.
A continuation of proseminar I. Open only to Carey Fellows.
A selection of topics are explored depending on interest. This course may be repeated once for credit when the topic differs.
Chemistry
A survey of the basic chemical principles and theories, with emphasis on applying these concepts to chemically related fields such as environmental science and biological chemistry. Topics considered include atomistic and molecular structure, kinetics, thermodynamics, and chemical equilibrium. The course's laboratory portion emphasizes the collection and interpretation of data, as well as the formation and testing of hypotheses. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three hours.

Solution and solid state chemistry is fundamental in a variety of contexts from biological to geological systems. This course explores the behavior of these systems as well as applications of chemical theory in a variety of contexts. Students gain experience with the measurements and analysis necessary to characterize both solution and solid samples in the laboratory setting. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, three and one-half hours.

The second in a series of experiences designed to strengthen scientific communication skills. Students will observe and engage with a variety of presenters, such as invited speakers, faculty, and peers. Throughout the course, participants will learn skills to assist in the preparation and delivery of a scientific presentation to an audience. Junior majors will deliver a scientific presentation on a topic agreed upon with a faculty mentor.
A detailed examination of the chemistry of the elements, with a particular emphasis on structure and bonding, structure-property relationships, and reaction energetics. Course topics include organometallics and catalysis, aquatic chemistry of the metals, solid-state chemistry, and the role of metals in biology. Lecture, three hours; laboratory, four hours.
