• ANT3321 - Peoples and Cultures of Mexico

  CRN	Department	Title	Instructor	Credit Hour
  85256	Soc Anthro & Social Wk	Peoples & Cultures of Mexico	Anne Pfister	3

   

  This course introduces undergraduate students to some of the peoples and cultures of Mexico, past and present. Students will explore historical texts, ethnographic readings and multimodal media (including film, music, literature and art) to examine issues shaping identity, indigeneity, colonialism, mestizaje, and cultural and economic struggle and success in Mexico. Students will come to understand that there are “many Mexicos,” that can be regionally, ethnically, and economically defined. Using creative and digital technologies and representations, students will challenge long-held stereotypes and generalizations about Mexican peoples and cultures. The course does not provide a comprehensive inventory of the hundreds of indigenous and multicultural groups that have inhabited the region but, rather, uses anthropological theory and methods to encourage in-depth study of regions (i.e. borderlands, Oaxaca, Mexico City, Chiapas), groups and languages (i.e. Zapotec, Nahuatl, Mexican Sign Language, Spanglish) and issues familiar to many human groups (i.e. colonialism, health and illness, gender, globalization, transnationalism and other socio-political structures, including NAFTA).

• CAI4105 - Machine Learning

  83772	Computing	Machine Learning	Yongzhao Wang	3

   

  Machine Learning (ML) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on developing algorithms capable of learning patterns from data and making decisions or predictions. This course introduces both classical and state-of-the-art ML techniques, emphasizing their theoretical foundations as well as hands-on programming experience with ML algorithms. The course covers four main topics: supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. In Fall 2026, the course will be enhanced by incorporating agentic AI approaches for solving ML problems, supported by the AI and Pedagogical Innovation initiative from Hicks Honors College.

• ENC1143 - The Cervantes Toolkit

  CRN	Department	Title	Instructor	Credit Hour
  84337	ENC1143	(GW) Evidence and Style	Maria Angeles Fernandez Cifuentes	3

   

  This Honors-enhanced writing course explores how the narrative strategies central to the work of Miguel de Cervantes continue to shape communication in the age of artificial intelligence. Students engage with Cervantes’s narrative techniques and examine how they remain relevant across contemporary writing and digital communication. Using an interactive avatar of Cervantes as a conceptual guide, the course invites students to think critically about authorship, voice, ethics, and the role of AI in knowledge production.

  Students will complete an advanced communication project in one of two areas: a professional narrative and personal branding portfolio, or an evidence-based outreach project designed to make specialized knowledge more accessible to non-expert audiences. By showing how enduring narrative strategies continue to shape communication across contemporary media, professional contexts, and emerging technologies, the course builds transferable skills in writing, research, media literacy, ethical AI use, and professional communication aligned with career-readiness goals.

• MAN4930 - Special Topics Entrepreneurship: New Venture Creation and Funding

  Check back in for Details!

   

  This entrepreneurship course focuses on the launch and development of a business from concept development through business entry. It covers opportunity identification and evaluation, start-up entry strategy, competitive analysis, resource utilization and accumulation, financing of new ventures, and risks from the concept stage through establishing a (first) viable business. Students shall learn about and experience using artificial intelligence (AI) tools as a thought partner and explore their potential utility for analyses, communication, and feedback processing that entrepreneurs conduct.

• IDH1923 - Age of Revolutions

  CRN	Department	Title	Instructor	Day	Time	Credit Hour
  83082	Honors	(H) Colloq Age of Rev	Will Pewitt	F	09:00am - 10:00am 10:10am - 11:55am	3
  83083	Honors	(H) Colloq Age of Rev 2	Will Pewitt	F	09:00am - 10:00am 10:10am - 11:55am	3

   

  Professor Pewitt's “Age of Revolutions” is a game-based simulation course where students play out scenarios that place them in the revolutionary era. The goal is for students to not only encounter a more complex view of the origins of the modern world, but to place themselves into this formative period to see how they could “change the course of history.” Each week’s activities will thus be shaped directly by how students have responded to the professor’s challenges the previous week. Students will develop deep insights into not only the famous figures of the American Revolution but also the less widely told stories of those whose lives impacted these momentous events—from the Indigenous to the indentured, from European princesses to Caribbean pirates, from ideas of the Enlightenment to the experiences of the enslaved. In doing so, students will encounter an interdisciplinary taste of how Honors courses reveal interconnections between various academic fields in ways that put students in control of their own intellectual journey. “AoR” shifts between large group discussions and lectures as well as various smaller group structures where students develop interdisciplinary strategies for achieving their goals as a “revolutionary.”

The assignment are designed to build skills like communication, networking, critical thinking and also expand your comfort zone. You will learn about yourself as an individual and as a citizen, build skills that will help your future, and make strong connections with your classmates.

  Please note that when you sign up for this class, you will also sign up for a breakout group. This group will be defined by it service project. The projects for this year may include teaching reading to elementary school students, creating holiday events for elementary school students, coaching soccer for elementary school students, raising money to support the community, GIS projects mapping local resources or mapping Jacksonville’s immigration history, making short documentary films, tutoring adults in English, or mentoring high school students.

• IDH1923 - Words that Slap

  CRN	Department	Title	Instructor	Day	Time	Credit Hour
  84757	Honors	(H) Colloq Words That Slap	Tiffany Kershner	Tuesday & Thursday	9:25 - 10:40 AM	3

   

  Different cultures differentiate and frame events in various ways. At the heart of conceptual events are WORDS, essentially an inventory of the ways a particular group of people depict and understand the interactions they have with each other and with the world around them. An individual’s language is, in one sense, a repository of wisdom about their environment. In this course, we will examine the interrelations between humans and their world by focusing on a culture’s lexical inventory as found in American dialects, invented languages and the use of slang words. First, we will explore how humans recognize, name, and classify living and nonliving things as well as behavior in their environment from a cognitive and symbolic perspective. Second, we will examine whether a culture’s language or dialect influences its perceptions of reality. For example, does a culture’s lexical inventory channel their thoughts in particular ways? Through a detailed examination of linguistic phenomena in American dialects and comparing it with cultures around the world, we will become familiar with how language and culture interact, the extent to which these surface in our everyday lives, and the explanations proposed by various fields (anthropology, linguistics, English, biology, psychology, cognitive science) for their existence.
