Film Genres & Movements
CAS CI 330
An intensive exploration of a particular cinematic genre or movement, paying special attention to how individual films respond to existing traditions and to the historical and cultural contexts underpinning artistic change. How do genres grow and evolve across historical, cultural and institutional settings? How do particular cinematic movements respond to particular cultural changes? Course content varies by semester. Topic for Summer 2026: Black Horror. Released in 2017 to universal acclaim, Jordan Peele's "Get Out" sparked a Black Horror renaissance in Hollywood that garnered the attention of both mainstream and academic audiences alike. This interdisciplinary, discussion-based seminar strives to answer the questions: What is Horror Noire? How do histories of oppression, anti-Blackness, gender, and sexuality find purchase in the horror genre? Divided into two - 'Before' and 'After' Peele - this course approaches the difficult task of defining Black Horror by first moving chronologically through the earliest examples of films that fall into this subgenre. For example, beginning with Spencer Williams Jr.'s "Son of Ingagi" (1940) and George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), we eventually move to Blaxploitation horror films like William Crain's "Blacula" (1972) and William Gunn's "Ganja & Hess" (1973), before closing out the 'Before Peele' half of the course with Bernard Rose's "Candyman" (1992). The contemporary half of the syllabus will include films such as Jordan Peele's "Get Out" (2017), Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.'s "Black Box" (2020), and Nia DaCosta's sequel to the original "Candyman", to name a few. Time permitting, students will be given the opportunity to submit and vote on additional films to include in the latter half of the syllabus. Effective Summer 2026, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Aesthetic Exploration, Creativity/Innovation, Digital/Multimedia Expression. 4 cr. Tuition: $3380

At the end of the course, students apply the topics they have learned to a collection of data that interests them. Effective Fall 2022, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Creativity/Innovation, Critical Thinking, Quantitative Reasoning 2. 4 cr. Tuition: $3380

Introduction to Computer Science 1
CAS CS 111
This course is a rigorous introduction to programming for students intending to major or minor in Computer Science, Data Science, and related disciplines. The course introduces numeric, string, and list data, functions, decisions, recursion, iteration, and object-orientation. Applications include matrix operations, image manipulation, games, rules-based and generative artificial intelligence, and searching. Learning to program is a skill that can only be learned through practice -- it cannot be acquired from merely attending a series of lectures. Rather, students will learn through a combination of short readings; mini-lecture videos; interactive examples; and complex problem sets. Students must actively engage with these examples and problem sets to develop both the muscle memory of programming, a mental model of how programs execute and interact with data, and the skills of testing and debugging their code. Students will learn new concepts independently and attend regular problem-set workshop sessions with the instructor to work on problem sets and develop debugging skills. The structure of the class demands that students be intrinsically motivated to acquire programming skills, so that they will be motivated to keep up with a demanding schedule of learning activities and problem sets. To be successful in this course, students must be prepared to dedicate approximately 25-30 hours per week. There are 2 problem set workshops per week, and students need to dedicate 5-8 hours of active preparation before each workshop, as it is not possible to do the problem sets without adequate preparation. Each topic/problem set builds upon the previous ones. Due to the intense Summer Term schedule, it is not possible to catch up from missing any topic or problem set. There is zero tolerance for use of Chat GPT or other AI tools to solve problem sets, quizzes, and exams. Students suspected of using these tools will be subject to oral examination by the instructor, and students unable to explain their work or solve similar problems will receive an automatic grade of F in the course. Students who refuse an oral exam will receive an F in the course. Students must have a Mac or Windows computer on which they can install the required software for the course.
