An introduction to the history of art, emphasizing visual literacy in an historical context. Major works of art and architecture, drawn from a wide range of world cultures and periods from ancient times to the present, will be explored.

Students will learn to analyze works of art critically from both an historical and an interpretative point of view; in addition, they will gain an understanding of the importance of cultural diversity through exposure to the arts of many different times and places.
Students will have extensive practice in articulating aesthetic judgments effectively in spoken and written form.
Students will learn how to draw upon the cultural riches of New York City to enhance their learning within and outside the classroom.
Identify unique characteristics of several artistic traditions, and recognize and analyze the differences among the major periods, artists, genres, and theories of art.
Use terms of art historical analysis correctly and be able to apply them to unfamiliar works.

What is art? Why does it matter? This course presents a general global view of art history through slide lectures, class discussions, video resources and a museum visit. It selectively surveys the visual arts, beginning with the first objects created by prehistoric humans around 20,000 years ago and ending with the art and architecture of today, covering concurrent historical periods in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Using art from diverse cultures and time periods, we will explore the way that art functions within broader societal trends and ideas, both reacting to and influencing major historical moments.

You will become comfortable with speaking and writing about specific art historical styles, issues and key terms, and be able to approach art in both a formal/visual and historic context. You will also learn how to navigate and explore your own specific interests within the history of art and become aware of resources that will guide you to further your own academic pursuit

Welcome to the Research Experiences in Microbiomes Network (REMNet) videos for Biology 3004. Here you will learn how you can incorporate next-generation microbiome sequencing into your biology course curriculum.

This open education resource (OER) contains course materials for a full semester course in Statistics. These course materials were developed by Professors Linda Weiser Friedman (Baruch College, CUNY) and Hershey H. Friedman (Brooklyn College, CUNY).

On this page, we've brought together tutorials created by QCC Librarians, as well as tutorials from other libraries, addressing research and information literacy.

Welcome to the CSI Library tutorial for CC CLUE credit. The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce you to using the library's resources to locate appropriate sources for your academic papers. It was designed with ENG 111 and ENG 151 students in mind. This tutorial also teaches information literacy tools, such as avoiding plagiarism, navigating fake news, and citing your sources in MLA style. This tutorial has 5 chapters, and it should take you around 45 minutes to go through all five sections. Plan accordingly!

These tutorials allow students to access them on a variety of devices (desktop computer, tablet, phone) and integrate a variety of presentation methods (images, video, text). They also include an interactive assessment feature, so that students respond to quiz questions throughout the tutorials and get immediate feedback on their responses. Finally, these tutorials allow students to receive a certificate of completion, along with a percentage-based score. They were designed with the idea that students can retake them, either for a better grade after learning from the responsive quiz feedback, or simply to go back to features they'd like to remember in the future.

Students’ participation and engagement are key measures not only of motivation, but they also provide a way to formatively evaluate and summatively assess their learning. Facilitating participation and understanding engagement comes with some particular challenges in online/hybrid courses.

This workshop will provide a space for participants to think through what participation can mean in an online/hybrid setting, and to discuss concrete strategies to keep students engaged and motivated through the semester. Participants will have the opportunity to develop and apply participation and assessment strategies to a range of sample assignment types.

The Digital Tool Box for Teaching and Scholarship, created by Brooklyn College Library's OER Developers, is dedicated to exploring and evaluating some of the many digital tools available on the web. We will explore various tools, discussing how they can be used in classrooms as learning objects and will also provide links to interesting and exciting projects where they are used. This toolbox will also touch on accessibility in digital scholarship and creation. Since this toolbox is part of the CUNY and SUNY 2017-19 Open Educational Resources Initiative, we are committing to present tools which are openly available.

3 hours and conference; 3 credits

Workshop in expository writing: strategies of, and practice in, analytical reading and writing about texts. Fundamentals of grammar and syntax. Frequent assignments in writing summaries, analyses, comparisons of texts, and such other expository forms as narration, description, and argumentation. Emphasis on writing as a process: invention, revision, editing. Satisfies Pathways Required Core English composition requirement. (Not open to students who have completed English 1.7.)

Prerequisite: Placement in the course on the basis of 480 or higher on the verbal SAT or 75 on the New York State Regents Examination in English, or a score of 56 on the CUNY CATW writing examination.

What will you learn?
This tutorial will introduce you to using the Google Gemini API with Python to create your own custom AI tools. You'll explore how AI-driven sentiment analysis of student feedback can be applied to teacher performance reviews. You'll also learn techniques like prompt engineering to produce more useful analyses. By experimenting with Gemini, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the technology and, consequently, a more critical perspective on the potential use of AI in teacher performance reviews.

Who is this tutorial for?
The primary audience for this tutorial is educators and school administrators interested in exploring the technical aspects of AI in teacher evaluation. A secondary audience includes those looking to get acquainted with the Gemini API and sentiment analysis. It was originally offered as a workshop at the Queens College Library. You are welcome to use it for other workshops or self-study.

A basic understanding of Python is required.

The process of research is often more complex than students anticipate. Part of helping them succeed is making visible the steps in the research process and helping students recognize that each step will require them to employ different skills. This section of the Faculty Toolkit provides small, low-stakes activities that can be adapted and deployed throughout the semester to help students develop the skills and understanding needed to get them to the finish line: the research project! This toolkit covers the different stages of the research process, covering understanding the assignment, developing topic/research questions, finding and evaluating information (including keywords, OneSearch, peer review), synthesizing and organizing information, composing, designing, citing, and information ethics.
