Envrmtl & Pub Pol Dspte Res

This course examines multiparty disputes involving topics such as land use management, water rights, e-healthcare, and pollution remediation. We explore dispute resolution's role in enhancing democratic participation in decision making of public import. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BA-Legal majors.

Geocomputation

Automated geography helps us to understand the complex geographic phenomena that are intractable to solve by conventional techniques. This class focuses on opportunities for taking a computational approach to the solution of complex spatial problems, often non-deterministic. The goals of this course are to teach basic geocomputation concepts through theory and practice to enable students to better use the vast spatial data, exploit the value of these information resources and expand the spatial information towards analysis and modeling.

Acctng Info Systems

Examines representing, capturing, and reporting of information about events relevant to the operations of a business organization. The course also uses various data analytics approaches to analyze the efficiency, effectiveness, and control of business processes. Controls over business operations are examined from a number of different perspectives including COSO and CoBIT.

Conservation Genetics Lab

This lab provides hands-on learning to data analysis in conservation genomics using a Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) model. Students design and complete an original research project using real genomic datasets to explore topics such as genetic diversity, population structure, inbreeding, and adaptation in a system of conservation importance. Lab activities include working with bioinformatic workflows, data visualization, and interpretation using tools like R, python, and PLINK. The summary of the student findings are presented in a research-style paper and presentation.
