S- WebGIS

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.

S-Science of Sleep

The primary goals of this course are to provide a basic introduction to the study of sleep; to provide a basic introduction to sleep disorders including their classification, cause and treatment and; perhaps most importantly, to answer "Why do we sleep?". We will seek scientifically informed answers to questions like: Why do we dream? Do animals sleep? And, what happens when we don't get enough sleep?

FYS- Sexual Ethics

What is required for someone to count as having consented to sex? Is there anything wrong with prostitution? Pornography? What is sexual harassment, and what makes it so bad? What are some sexual stigmas faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community? These are some of the questions we'll be discussing in this seminar, and we'll be looking for answers through weekly readings (some philosophical, and some not); weekly discussion posts; and lots of class discussion.

This course is designed to allow an advanced student of Urdu to focus on topics and domains of language use relevant to his/her individual goals. Weekly assignments will be chosen by the student and mentor in consultation with the program coordinator. Students are expected to write, present ideas orally, and to work with the language mentor to facilitate each week's discussion. The goal is to increase oral and written fluency, breadth of vocabulary, and cultural knowledge in the areas of interest. This course may be repeated with changes in topic and focus.
