ECO1015: Foundations of Economics 1 | ECON 1116: Principles of Microeconomics | SI; AD | 4.00 | No | Foundations of Economics 1 is the title of our new Level 1 semester 1 CORE (Curriculum Open-access Resource for Economics) module for non-specialists. CORE is the result of a huge global collaboration to change the way introductory economics is taught; to ensure it is student-centred and motivated by real-world problems and real-world data. Many students studying for degrees in other disciplines are drawn to economics so that they can develop their analytical skills and also engage with policy debates on issues such as environmental sustainability, inequality, the future of work, financial instability, and innovation. But, when they study economics, they find that their introductory course is arid and theoretical, and designed primarily for students who want to study the subject as their major. The result is that students from other disciplines often find themselves studying a quantitative and analytical economics module that is only minimally social in content and downplays the insights of other disciplines, or a social or business oriented module that gives them little training in modelling, or in quantitative scientific methods. In contrast, this module draws on the work of the global CORE team to offer students who are not specialist economists an in-depth introduction to economics and the global economy that is both analytical and real-world. The module focuses throughout on evidence on the economy, from around the world, and from history. It is motivated by questions — how can we explain what we see? | 11,280 | Foundations of Economics 1 | ECO1015 | Foundations of Economics 1 | ECON 1116 | Principles of Microeconomics | 12 | 132.

SOC1001: Rethinking Society | SOCL 1101: Introduction to Sociology | SI; DD | 4.00 | No | This module offers a general introduction to the discipline of sociology for those with no experience of studying sociology before. Its primary objective is to initiate students to sociological thinking. Sociology does not rely on our subjective experience and general ideas commonly shared withing the society (beliefs, customs, traditions, values, norms); its critical way of thinking and its methods allow us to discover aspects of social life that most people are unaware of. This will be done through a diversity of topics such as social class, suicide, race, gender, disability, globalisation, violence and other social phenomena. The module will provide a background for those intending to study sociology in the second and third years, but also acts as a stand-alone sociology course for those who do not intend to study it further. | 11,289 | Rethinking Society | SOC1001 | Rethinking Society | SOCL 1101 | Introduction to Sociology | 12 | 242.

ARC 1025A: Architectural Design and Communication 1 | ARCH 1110: Fundamental Architectural Representation | EI | 4.00 | No | Design studio is the core of the curriculum of architectural education. The primary aim of ARC 1025 Architectural Design and Communication I (i) is to introduce the basic concepts and conventions of architectural design to Architecture students in their first semester at Queen’s. The studio is organised to help students develop comprehensive awareness of architecture as a coherent design process that involves research, analysis, critical thinking, and theoretical and technological knowledge. Throughout the module, students will develop personal and professional understanding of programming, spatial configuration, and creative approaches to design problems. We address architecture as a significant element of the social and cultural context, whose success requires the involvement of users. We also ask the students to begin to realise the importance of the technical aspect of architecture, including materials and structures. As an introductory studio, ARC1025 also aims to develop students’ experience of representation and communication. During the semester, students will develop their understanding of the relationship between a building and its environment using a multitude of variables. This will involve studying and learning from the city. First- hand experience of buildings will help integrate urban context into the projects. Situated within the design studio, students will benefit from similarity with real professional contexts such as open-studio formats, working in groups, field study, and will experience practical issues such as group negotiations and coordination, diversity of individual skills, and efficient time management to develop productive studio/professional habits. The goal is to provide theoretical, technical and practical guidance to encourage each student to reach their own level of excellence in design. | 12,497 | Architectural Design and Communication 1 | ARC 1025A | Architectural Design and Communication 1 | ARCH 1110 | Fundamental Architectural Representation | 12 | 14.

MUS 1002: Introduction to Music | MUSC 1990: Music Elective (Introduction to Music) | EI; IC | 4.00 | No | Music is often considered as a family of related practices, including classical music, pop/rock music, jazz, traditional music and an almost infinite list of others. The goal of this module is to look at music as a single phenomenon; trying to identify what are music’s fundamental elements, and investigating the unifying characteristics among all its manifestations. In doing so we learn more about our own areas of musical specialism and also uncover types of musical experience of which we have been previously unaware. Starting from the most basic questions of what music is, the module will cover such diverse topics as the nature of sound and its perception, the building blocks of music, and the interaction of music with society, culture and history. The range of music considered in this module is wide, drawing on examples such as Jimi Hendrix, Beethoven, Miles Davis and central African music. | 12,504 | Introduction to Music | MUS 1002 | Introduction to Music | MUSC 1990 | Music Elective (Introduction to Music) | 12 | |
MUS 1005: Introduction to Composition | MUSC 1301: Introduction to Composition | EI | 4.00 | No | MUS1005 is designed to introduce you to the craft of composition and equip you with basic practical skills, techniques and tools to compose your own music. The module is delivered through weekly lectures organised around a series of topics corresponding, for the most part, to the fundamental elements of composition: rhythm, melody, harmony, texture, timbre and form. We will address issues such as how to compose a simple melody, how to develop a basic rhythmic idea, how to structure and develop harmonic material and how to create a musical texture, as well as how to write well for instruments, how the computer is used as a tool in the compositional process and aspects of notation.[2] Along the way, we will examine a broad range of musical works and approaches to composition – from Bach to Billie Eilish – through ‘active’ listening and, where appropriate, reference to notated scores. We will take these works as models and consider the strategies, techniques and tools used – how the music is ‘put together’ – and apply what we find to our own compositional work. ‘Composition’ will be defined broadly and the elements we will explore are by no means specific to ‘classical’ composition. Ultimately, the goal is to help you communicate your musical ideas and develop them into well-crafted, cohesive and effective works of music, regardless of style or mode of composition. At the end of each class, I will suggest composition exercises that build on the material introduced (these exercises will not be assessed), together with required listening assignments and occasional reading. There will also be two graded composition projects. The module is designed to complement other modules taken in Year 1 and to provide a foundation for those who wish to continue studying composition into Years 2 and 3. There will be a short break in the middle of each class. | 12,505 | Introduction to Composition | MUS 1005 | Introduction to Composition | MUSC 1301 | Introduction to Composition | 12 | |
