To understand the significance of dance in Africa and the connection between musician and dancer and to appreciate and respect a culture that is different yet similar in many ways to American culture. Adding new elements each class, the complexity of the dances will build throughout the semester. Discussions on African culture will provide a background for understanding the importance of dance in African life.

Relationships between social policy and disability in a democracy are explored, specifically, with particular reference to the ever changing landscape of societal values associated with the evolving paradigms that frame disability research and policies.

This course is designed with two complementary goals: 1) to cover some core mathematical and statistical results useful for quantitative methodologists in education (as well as other social science disciplines); and 2) to introduce the R software for statistical computing. Many of the statistical concepts will be illustrated or explored using the R software.

This course provides an understanding of how higher education functions within the larger context of public policy and how political processes and systems influence and are influence by higher education.

This course provides an introduction to statistical reasoning with a focus on educational contexts. You will learn how to reason from uncertain empirical data (as is often the case when dealing with school/classroom data) and how to apply this general and fundamental intellectual method in the social sciences. You will also learn how to use a variety of tools (SPSS, Excel, and TI-83 Plus) to perform data analysis on personal computers and to interpret and write results sections based on the analyses. (Gen. Ed. R2)

Four to six topics, chosen from fields such as geometry, number theory, and the real numbers, with emphasis on precise def-initions, examples, conjectures, theorems, and proof methods, including induction and contradiction. Prerequisite: MATH 132 or 136 or consent of instructor.

[Note: Because this course presupposes knowledge of basic math skills, it will satisfy the R1 requirement upon successful completion.]
