Descriptive statistics, elements of probability theory, and basic ideas of statistical inference. Topics include frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and dispersion, commonly occurring distributions (binomial, normal, etc.), estimation, and testing of hypotheses. Prerequisite: high school algebra. (Gen.Ed. R2)

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

In this seminar, students will be presented with case studies that highlight challenges facing children and young adults in our society. We will focus on a subset of challenges (e.g., safe food and water, energy needs, educational inequalities, etc.), and will emphasize identification and quantification of change over time. Student groups will create and share proposals for manipulating variables to alter the trajectory of the challenge. Lastly, students will reflect on what they've learned about the challenge and about themselves.

Behavior is generated by the interplay between hormones and the brain. In this course, human and animal research will be examined to explore how the endocrine and nervous systems interact to control functions such as reproductive behaviors, aggression, and food intake. The course will also examine how the brain modifies hormone levels to cope with changing environmental conditions and stress.

The brain and its relation to behavior. Elements of the brain and their circuits, the major functions of the brain, how they operate. How neuroscientists study the brain and nervous system. Some major brain diseases and disorders; how they may be treated. Prerequisite: introductory life science course (biology, psychology, biochemistry, etc.) or consent of instructor.
