'''Tae Kwon Do''': Have you ever been interested in martial arts? Maybe you took karate for a few months when you were 8? Winter Study is a great time to try it out—I will teach an introduction to the Korean martial art of Tae Kwon Do, an art known for its exciting kicks. Each class will definitely include: significant time stretching to work on flexibility, practice kicks, and other techniques including their application in self defense, and regular athletic exercises. Tae Kwon Do is a great and fun way to stay active (we offer PE credit as well), and you can continue taking Tae Kwon Do since I teach classes year round. The class meets from 5 to 6:30 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays in Currier Ballroom. Contact Nathan Schine at ns3 if interested in taking the course.
'''Visioning''': Have you found your passion, but aren’t sure how working to advance it will affect other issues that you care about? Are you tired of thinking you’ve found a solution, only to realize that it creates more problems? Feeling cynical because you can’t engage with the issues you learn about? Join us in a collaborative process of asking why we might search for the connections between seemingly disparate problems, examining how others have crafted holistic visions of the world they want to create, and working to create our own visions for whatever world we want to change (be it Williams or another community, a nation, or the “real world”). The This class meets is more of a workshop in which participation for the full course in encouraged, so the schedule will be set based on participants' availability and interests. Anyone interested should come to a first meeting at 3:30 pm 7pm on Tuesdays Monday January 9 in Dodd Living Room. Contact living room or contact Sara Finkle at sgf1 or Andrea Lindsay at aml1 if interested in taking the course.
'''Introduction to ''Mathematica''''': Many Division III majors will at some point during their tenure at Williams encounter the computational program ''Mathematica''. Used extensively in physics, math, and even sometimes chemistry courses, ''Mathematica'' is capable of everything from basic calcuations to solving differential equations to three-dimentional plotting. However, the learning curve for ''Mathematica'' can be steep, and a stray semicolon or comma will ruin otherwise pristine code. We will explore the program, focusing on how to execute frequently used functions and how to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. No experience of any sort is assumed. The class meets from 8 to 9 pm on Wednesdays in Bronfman 104. Contact Erik Levinsohn at eal1 if interested in taking the course.
