(formerly Exercise Science)

In this course we will workshop student media projects - which can take a variety of forms depending on student interests and ambitions - such as short film, documentary, music video, TV or Web Series, etc. The course works as an arena in which students develop production strategies; form a crew; complete production and post-production (by week 10) ? including creation of a soundtrack; run test screenings; develop marketing strategies for distribution and/or festival entries/exhibitions.

This course covers the economic theory, history, and policy of immigration. The standard labor market model of immigration is detailed, as are more dynamic and inter-disciplinary alternatives. The models are used to analyze immigration flows and policies in the United States, Canada, and the European Union over the past two centuries as well as contemporary immigration issues. At the end of the course, students are challenged to develop suggestions for contemporary immigration policy.

There is no better way to learn and deeply understand sustainability in the built environment than to experience this as a part of a real project. This course explores the concept of using living labs to accelerate innovation in the realm of low carbon approaches to buildings, materials, technologies, policies and ways of living. Multi-disciplinary teams will work together to solve problems faced by local and global organizations. Students receive academic credit and real-world experience while the community benefits from technology and policy-based solutions in the built environment.

This lecture course provides the theoretical knowledge necessary to perform surgical nursing duties, to anesthetize small animal patients and monitor anesthesia, and to perform veterinary dentistry in small animals.

This course presents the basic concepts of veterinary radiology including x-ray generation, image recording, film handling, film processing (manual, automatic and digital), positioning and restraint, special procedures, and radiation safety. Alternative imaging techniques including ultrasonograhy, MRI, and CT will be discussed.

This course describes how the principles and techniques of organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry can be used to study proteins, nucleic acids, and sugars. Methods for their synthesis, purification, and chemical manipulations will be discussed, focusing on the application of chemical approaches to studying biological questions. For each topic, appropriate bioanalytical techniques will be emphasized.

SOCBEHAV 190T is a one-credit, graded seminar for College of Social and Behavioral Science (SBS) transfer students. It will introduce you to your SBS major and the SBS Pathways model of student success while helping you build strong connections with each other and engage in directed reflection and goal-setting. It is designed to welcome transfer students to UMass and to address some needs that are specific to transfer students while also respecting that you come to UMass with college experience and important success skills already in place.

Data science is an exciting discipline that allows you to turn raw data into understanding, insight, and knowledge. The course will first focus on data visualization and data transformation, and then introduce other topics including exploratory data analysis and programing. This course will help students learn the most important tools in R to do data science. Students will gain hands-on experience through in-class coding activities and homework assignments.
