University?s Course Catalog?

This is a writing-intensive course that fulfills the University's Junior Writing requirement. Each section focuses on a particular aspect of current issues in psychology. The topic is selected based on the expertise of the teaching staff. All sections share similar writing assignments, ranging from in-class short writing assignments to lengthy papers that include literature review. Classes emphasize discussion and extensive peer review of written work. Topics for individual sections will not be available until shortly before the start of the semester.

The purpose of this course is to give students a basic understanding of the biological concepts needed to be successful in Behavioral Neuroscience and/or Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. Students who have not taken college level Intro Bio or AP Bio are strongly encouraged to take this course before enrolling in Behavioral Neuroscience. The course is designed as a survey of biological processes related to Neuroscience. Topics covered will include the structure and function of DNA, animal cells, and neurons.

The primary goal of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to developmental psychology and to the scientific study of development. It is intended that this course may serve as a foundation for future courses in Child Psychology. Thus, a broad range of topics will be covered and no one topic will be covered in depth. We will cover the major domains of development ? biological, cognitive, social, and emotional development - from the prenatal period chronologically, covering each age of the child in turn.

Behavior is generated by the interplay between hormones and the brain. In this course, human and animal research will be examined to explore how the endocrine and nervous systems interact to control functions such as reproductive behaviors, aggression, and food intake. The course will also examine how the brain modifies hormone levels to cope with changing environmental conditions and stress.
