New Spring History, Theatre, and Business Classes

In this section, Marinette campus professors let you know about new courses that they’re excited to teach in Spring 2021. 

Spring History, Theatre, and Business Classes

Looking for answers?!? Wondering how in the world the world got to the place we’re in? You need History/Humanities 102, Western Civilization from 1500 to the Present, a wild romp through the history of the Western World from the time of Martin Luther to the present! Read and learn about the Reformation, the 30 Years’ War, the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, the emergence of the modern nation-state, expansion to the Americas, the American and French Revolutions, the development of the modern urban-industrial society, nationalism, romanticism, two World Wars, and more! How did we get to where we are today? Come and find out! HIST/HUM 102 will be a hybrid course on the Marinette campus.

THE 211: World Theatre and Performance
with Professor Rebecca Stone Thornberry

THE 211: World Theatre and Performance is an introduction to the performing arts through multiple global perspectives. Key genres and styles emerging from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe will be studied in depth by examining performance traditions as they transform in relation to changing historical and social conditions.

What Professor Stone Thornberry loves about teaching the class: “The class feels like a trip around the world in which we view cultures through their performance traditions. Every time I teach the course, I learn something new about fascinating places, performances, and theatre artists.”

This course will be hybrid at the Marinette campus.

BUS ADM 202: Business and Its Environment
with Professor Sue Craver

BUS ADM 202: Business and Its Environment examines the major components of the business enterprise and its resources, competitive and regulatory environment, pricing, profit, finance planning, controls, ethics, environmental impact, social responsibility and other important concepts, as well as environmental issues that challenge the business leader.

Professor Craver’s online sections are full at the moment, but she has plenty of space in her M/W in-person class on the Marinette campus.

She says, “It is a required course if students are going into business, but it can also be used as an elective for non-business students. It is an excellent course which offers highlights of many areas of business (marketing, management, human resources, finance, etc.). So if students are unsure of what they want to do for a career—or a major—this would be a good course to add to their schedules so they can explore the business world a bit more.”

From the Driftwood Kitchen

This semester, The Driftwood will bring you easy-peasy recipes for new cooks. We’re talking REALLY easy—and fast.

Mulled Cider

Brew this recipe up in a coffee maker for a pot of delicious mulled cider in minutes. If you don’t have a coffee maker, just warm the ingredients in a slow cooker or large pan. In that case, you may want to decrease or omit the brown sugar. 

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• ½ tsp. whole allspice
• 1 tsp. whole cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 large orange, cut into quarters, with peel
• 1-2 quarts apple cider

Directions: 

1. Get out your coffee maker. Put a filter in the basket.
2. Fill the filter with all ingredients except the apple cider.
3. Pour the apple cider into the reservoir where the water usually goes.
4. Set to brew. In minutes, you’ll have a pot of hot, delicious mulled cider.
5. Optional: Garnish with orange slices, star anise, and a cinnamon stick.
6. You’ll still have cider left over after you brew your first pot. Just keep brewing until you want to stop or you run out of cider. Check the filter between brewing to see if any ingredients need replenishing.

Makes 2 quarts of cider. For a large party, pour the cider into a slow cooker and garnish. To store, pour into a pitcher and refrigerate.

“Untitled” by Hannah Blom

This piece was created by Green Bay campus art student Hannah Blom for Professor Lydia Dildilian’s Two-Dimensional Design class. For this assignment, says Professor Dildilian, “students learn how to analyze the value system of an achromatic image of a person and simplify it to create a 5- value composition which maps the shape and planes of a human face. The goal for these portraits is to practice and understand value and its relationship to shape.”
