ST-Pro Skills Essentials

This course is designed to accompany an internship experience (remote and/or in-person) and is available to students participating in an internship in the same semester. Experiential learning opportunities not only add value to a student's professional pursuits, but also serve as a vehicle for learning key professional skills such as teamwork, communication, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Accounting

The course, while using traditional accounting techniques and methodology, will focus on the needs of external users of financial information. The emphasis is on learning how to read, interpret, and analyze financial information as a tool to guide investment decisions. Concepts rather than procedures are stressed and class time will be largely devoted to problem solutions and case discussions. A basic knowledge of arithmetic (+,-,*,/) and algebra is suggested.

History Of The Earth

Subjects covered include geologic time, principles of stratigraphy and correlation, evolution and the fossil record, a review of plate tectonics, eustasy and isotasy, and the geologic evolution of the Earth with emphasis on the geologic history of North America. Prerequisite: introductory geology course, preferably GEO-SCI 101, or one semester of biology.

ST-Adv Topics/Gen Relativity

The class will explore advanced topics in general relativity, picking up where P568/821 left off. Topics in black hole physics will include BH solutions with rotation and in the presence of a non-zero cosmological constant; BH thermodynamics and Hawking radiation. We will discuss interior solutions to Einstein's equations for stars and neutron stars. The physics of gravitational radiation will be presented in more depth, including the derivation of the quadrupole formula for power radiated by a source.

S- Just Economies?

The modern economy is shaped by uneven capitalist development and premised on exploiting colonialized/raced, gendered, sexualized and non-human Others. That is, racial, sexual and environmental violence are at the heart of social relations of production and reproduction, but they are also invisibilized or undervalued under capitalism. Thus, critical analyses of the systemic inequities engendered by colonial/racial capitalism, and imagining just economies is fundamental to abolition and climate justice.
