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.

Satisfies Junior Year Writing requirement. A variety of writing skills emphasized with assignments ranging from resumes to scientific writing (formerly Exercise Science).

Survey of antisemitism through its various stages of historical development, from ancient times to the present. Primary focus on the intellectual, religious, political, and social roots of Jew-hatred. Special attention to its impact on Jewish life and thought, and to the range of Jewish re-sponses to anti-semitism. Topics include: the Jews in Graeco-Roman society; medieval Christendom and Islam; the emergence of modern political and racial anti-semitism. (Gen.Ed. HS, DG)

Few periods in United States. history experienced as much change and turmoil as the "Long Sixties" (1954-1975), when powerful social movements overhauled American gender norms, restructured the Democratic and Republican parties, and abolished the South's racist "Jim Crow" regime. This course examines the movements that defined this era.

This course is about the complex and varied forces which interacted to create the British North American Colonies. (The evolution of New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies from early beginnings to maturity in the 1770s.) Previous American history survey course is helpful but not required. Emphasis will be on the political economies of the British North American settlements, especially labor systems.

This course helps students develop a framework for the collection, analysis, and use of school data for educative decision-making. It investigates data-driven decision-making: its theory, its obligations under federal law, and as a normative professional standard.

Observational cosmology and cosmological principles. Background radiation and Olbers' paradox. Newtonian cosmology. General relativity, gravitational waves, relativistic cosmology, and gravitational collapse. Theories of the universe and origin of celestial structure.

A deeper investigation into the methods and strategies for mold making and casting. This course will focus on developing technical ability with a range of contemporary molding and casting materials and techniques.

This course will provide a foundation in the principles, techniques, and equipment involved in making short videos, including: development of a viable story idea or concept, aesthetics and mechanics of shooting video, the role of sound and successful audio recording, and the conceptual and technical underpinnings of digital editing. You will make several short pieces through the semester, working towards a longer final piece. Along with projects and screenings, there will be reading assignments and writing exercises. Prerequisite: FMS 150 or its equivalent (can be taken concurrently).

Independent work in biochemistry can be conducted with any member of the biochemistry committee and, upon approval, also with other members of the biological sciences and chemistry departments and program in neuroscience and behavior.
