Systematics in mineralogy, including crystallography, the physics and chemistry of minerals, the genesis of minerals, and determinative methods in mineralogy.

This course is the lecture-only component of GEOL 311 (Mineralogy) for the Fall 2020 semester. The lab for GEOL 311 will be offered as a 1-credit in-person course in Spring 2021.

The web has become a large and complex area for application development. Access to an abundance of open source languages, libraries, and frameworks has led to the quick and easy construction of a variety of applications with several moving parts working in coordination to present to the user the illusion of a single program. In reality, web applications are extremely difficult to get right.

Large-scale software systems like Google - deployed over a world-wide network of hundreds of thousands of computers - have become a part of our lives. These are systems success stories - they are reliable, available ("up" nearly all the time), handle an unbelievable amount of load from users around the world, yet provide virtually instantaneous results.

What is the purpose of learning? Is the career you have in mind going to be fulfilling? Have you wondered what is the right major for you? What do you ultimately want to achieve in life? In this first-year seminar, rather than declaring a major, you will be challenged to declare a mission. This course will help you gain clarity about your purpose in life and ensure that you consistently make decisions in line with your ultimate goals.

In this course, we will explore the political, legal, and social implications of Big Data, artificial intelligence, and the increasing reliance on automated, machine learning algorithms across many different decision-making contexts, with a particular focus on the manifestations of bias in computationally or machine-based decisions. The course will address both the promise and perils of data-based, machine decision-making as well as the multiplicity of ways in which it already influences our daily lives.

This course provides an introduction to the field of political psychology. It focuses primary attention on psychological explanations of individual political attitudes and actions, among both elites as well as the masses. This course is offered as part of the new graduate program in Data Analytics and Computational Social Science, and would count towards the substantive course distribution requirement of the master's degree.
