We will critically discuss how sexism permeates classrooms, hallways, and our own educational pasts and presents. And together we will co-create solutions to disrupt sexism and misogyny in educational spaces.

This course will present students with an overview of the book as object during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance (roughly 1300-1650). Rather than considering the text inside books, we will investigate physical books themselves, as sites of artmaking, collecting, magic, religious devotion, technology, political controversy, and intellectual movements. The class will involve hands-on interaction with books (in the form of facsimiles) of the periods discussed.

This course will introduce Microbiology majors to the extremely diverse and exciting world of microorganisms. The course begins with describing the basics of microorganisms: structure and function, metabolic pathways, physiology, and genetics. These topics are used as a base to discuss more complex microbial systems we study in environmental microbiology, medical microbiology, and applied biotechnology. We will explore the wonderfully extensive diversity of microbes and discuss this diversity within the context of evolution and what `species? means in microbiology.

Students in WebGIS will explore web-based applications in geographic information science. This course will focus on hands-on practice using and building web-based mapping and analysis platforms, including Google Maps, ArcGIS Online, Leaflet, and Open Street Map. Along with conceptual discussion of how the internet, web servers, and cloud-based GIS services function, students will create and host web services relevant to their coursework, research, or professional goals.

Knowledge gathering, representation, and reasoning are among the fundamental challenges of artificial intelligence.
