HUM
11 courses with the subject HUM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
HUM 201Reading and Research (2 SH)
In this half-semester course students will develop skills in: close reading, research via multiple methodologies and databases, critical analysis of primary and secondary sources, standard citation methods, responsible and effective AI use, and rhetorical methods for creating effective theses for written essays and public presentations. Students will also read and research texts from many of the humanities disciplines.

HUM 202Logic and Argument (2 SH)
Every day each of us, especially college students, find ourselves in the position of having to provide reasons for our opinions. We call such reasoning ‘argument.’ But though we all do it, we don’t all do it well. But we can all do it well with some disciplined practice. This half-semester course provides that practice. Here students will learn and exercise basic skills in analyzing language and reasoning. Using texts from various disciplines and real world examples, they will acquire tools for thinking clearly, evaluating arguments, and recognizing fallacies and cognitive biases, all with a goal of improving the ability to make honest, clear, and persuasive arguments, in class and in life.

HUM 213Bach Festival (3 SH)
The course is designed to accomplish two main purposes: (1) to serve as an introduction to the skills required for listening to music, and (2) to prepare class members to take full advantage of the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival. Activities will include guided listening exercises, information about Bach and this year’s featured composers, as well as visits from performers participating in the festival who will illustrate the skills and understandings needed to prepare performances of music that can be enjoyed by audiences. The most important goal is to get students, especially those who have never had opportunity before, as close as possible to the workings of the life of a professional musician. In addition to the classroom hours listed below, students will be expected to spend a minimum of 12 hours during the week of the festival in attendance at rehearsals, noon concerts, and/or evening concerts. To meet the minimum 12 participatory hour requirement, students may need to attend activities during the work day or evenings; a master schedule of performances and rehearsals will be provided. 216 – Course Descriptions
