Landscape&WatershedBiogeochem

Landscapes and their geology influence atmospheric and hydrologic functions, which govern the sources and transport of elements. Watershed exports are cumulative integrators of soils, bedrocks, and vegetation elemental cycling, controlling the rate of elemental emissions to the Earth?s atmosphere and to the oceans. In this course, we will evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively elemental biogeochemistry in watersheds and across landscapes. Moreover, we will examine how human populations affect these scale processes.

Drugs & Behavior

Principles of pharmacology, behavioral testing, brain structure and neuron morphology, neurochemistry, mode and site of action of antianxiety and antipsychotic drugs, analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives, and anesthetics. Recreational drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, discussed. Prerequisite: introductory psychology. Some chemistry recommended.

ST-Intermediate Stat Computing

The goal of this course is to prepare students with necessary computing skills for a career as a statistician or data analyst/scientist. By the end of this course, you should be able to use various tools to extract data from different sources(structure or unstructured), and transform them into forms that are ready for analysis and modeling. You will also be able to build web based tools to deliver your data products using R Shiny.

ST-Adv Statistical Computing

The main goal of this course is to prepare students with advanced computing skills for a career as a statistician or data analyst/scientist. By the end of this course, you should be able have mastery over the fundamentals of the R programming language, including concepts such as functional programming and meta programming.

THEORIES OF SOCIETY

This course introduces majors to widely used theoretical perspectives that inform the sociological imagination. It focuses on how these perspectives analyze core facets of social life, such as structure and stratification, power and inequality, culture, agency, self and identity. Each topic is surveyed from several major perspectives, providing a comparative view so that students can make assessments of the insights each theory offers. Prerequisite: SOC 101. Enrollment limited to 40 with majors and minors having priority.

Writing London: Modern Novel

This course will chart London's progress from the center of an empire to a node in the global world's economy, and the novel's movement from realism to postmodernism and beyond. Beginning by contrasting the London of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes with that of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, we will then trace the development of a multiethnic city in which according to a recent report there are more than 300 languages spoken in London schools.

ST-The Future of Government

This seminar offers students an opportunity for discussion, debate and discovery concerning the benefits and negative consequences of an increasingly digitalized society, economy and governments. For the most part, we will focus on your world as a future public servant (knowing that many of you will work in the nonprofit or private sectors) at the local, state, federal or international levels. We will examine cases of innovation, promising practices and serious challenges that public servants and public managers may face.
