Connecting Self & Society First Year Seminar is designed for students who are interested in developing the ability to understand the connections between their own personal experiences and the larger social forces (economic, political, social, global, etc.) that structure those experiences and the society in which we currently live. Students will draw from news media, movies, music, the internet, and university resources to explore their transition to college from a social and historical perspective, helping to connect them to the world (and the University!) in which they live.

In the course you will seek practical solutions to complex environmental problems by crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries and using an inquiry, cooperative learning-based approach. You'll learn how to integrate and apply knowledge from the four core areas of the ENVIRSCI curriculum. The main learning goals for this course are to gain in-depth experience in identifying tools and planning solutions for environmental challenges, and to explore how integrating your diverse educational experiences leads to new levels of understanding.

Development of mathematical reasoning skills for problems that involve uncertainty. Counting and probability -- basic counting problems, probability definitions, mean, variance, binomial distribution, discrete random variables, continuous random variables, Markov and Chebyshev bounds, Laws of large number, and central limit theorem. Probabilistic reasoning -- conditional probability and odds, Bayes' Law, Markov Chains, Bayesian Network, Markov Decision Processes.
