An introduction to the major steps necessary for the construction of new measures. This course will provide a framework based on modern measurement theory (item response theory with a focus on the Rasch models) for the construction and evaluation of new measures and scales.

This project-based course focuses on the theoretical and practical issues related to designing digital learning media (e.g. eBooks, videos, websites) and environments (e.g. online courses) for teaching and learning.

Moving across South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Silk Road, and East Asia, the spread of Buddhist art might be understood as one of the earliest forms of a truly global art. The course surveys momuments of architecture, sculpture, and painting associated with major Buddhist practices and sects. Topics include narratives of the historical Buddha; iconographic programs of ritual sites and sacred spaces such as caves, temples, and monasteries; cosmographic and sacred geographies; and the material cultures of ceremonial and ritual implements.

Chronological survey organized by city rather than artist to provide a stronger sense of the social context in which works of art were produced. How city-states develop distinctive artistic styles, and how different govenmental systems favored various forms of patronage. Cities include: Naples, Rome, Siena, Florence, Milan, Mantua, Ferrara, Padua, Urbino, and Venice. Central themes: the revival of interest in classical antiquity and the development of the mathematical system of one-point perspective. (Planned for Fall)

Art in the United States from 1860 to 1940 with a concentration on painting and sculpture. As new technologies and ideologies transformed the political, economic, and social fabric of the United States after the Civil War, changes in the arts were equally rapid and as dramatic, culminating in the introduction of abstraction after 1900. Some artists sought strategies to connect their work to this new, fast-paced modern world; others held to traditions and resisted change.
