Course Numbering
The College of Wooster uses a five-digit course numbering system. The first three digits indicate the primary course number. The next two digits are the secondary course number and indicate whether there is a special focus for the course. For example:
The first letters are the department or program abbreviation. The next three digits are the primary course number (101 is the primary course number for all Introduction to Historial Study courses). The last two digits are the secondary course number. These two digits indicate that the special focus for this HIST 101 course is The History of Islam. A course with a given three-digit primary course number can only be taken once for credit unless specifically indicated otherwise by the department.
The following policy has been used in assigning primary course numbers:
- 100-level courses are usually introductory courses; some 100-level courses do have prerequisites, and students are advised to consult the description for each course.
- 200-level courses are usually beyond the introductory level, although many 200-level courses are open to first-year students and to majors and non-majors.
- 300-level courses are seminars and courses primarily for majors but open to other students with the consent of the instructor.
- The following numbers are for Independent Study: I.S. 40100 (Junior Independent Study), I.S. 45100 and I.S. 45200 (Senior Independent Study).
In addition to the regular course offerings, many departments offer individual tutorials under the number 40000 and internships under 41000. On occasion, departments will offer a course on a special topic as approved by the Educational Policy Committee, designated 19900, 29900, or 39900.

CHIN 19900 - War & Culture in China Course Credit: 1
(EAST)
WAR AND CULTURE IN CHINA: TRAUMA, TRANSFORMATION, AND ERASURE The trauma of war is rarely left untouched by cultural transformations. In China, much like elsewhere in the world, the traces of war have been transformed into works of art, literature, history, and architecture. Yet, perhaps more than elsewhere, the legacy of war in China has also been one of erasure. Elites committed to the image of an empire established and maintained through civil values have often effaced the role of state-sanctioned violence. Focusing on literary representations, visual culture, and commemorative landscapes, this course explores the relation between war and culture in early modern and modern China. All readings for the course will be in English, no previous knowledge of Chinese or Chinese history is required. [AH, C, W]

CHIN 22500 - Performance Traditions of China Tradition in Chinese Literature Course Credit: 1

Taking a multi-ethnic approach, stress will be given to the idea that the performance traditions in China, rather than being parts of a monolithic Chinese tradition are better represented as diverse and distinct traditions with occasional similarities that exist or have existed within the modern borders of China. The course is not a comprehensive coverage of the hundreds of local traditions, but will alert students to the variety and nature of this vast corpus, in which much remains to be explored and documented.

CHIN 39901 - Food & Religion in China Course Credit: 1
FOOD AND RELIGION IN CHINA The course will explore the role of food in China’s religious traditions and the ways in which culinary arts, food, food sacrifice and eating are intertwined with religious discourse and practice in China. Food and eating unit or divide human society, the realm of ancestors, and the spirit world. Religious food culture is fertile ground for contesting voices and the development of spiritual alternatives. It is an important site for uncovering genealogies of material and discursive practices central to the production and maintenance of power at multiple scales; tensions between tradition and social and cultural change; and understnadings of self, body, family, group, nation and other identities.
