P- Community Health Nursing
The purpose of this clinical practicum is to provide the student with the opportunity to plan and provide community based nursing care and a population based intervention.
Intro to Numerical Methods
This course introduces numerical methods used by mechanical engineers. It involves coding algorithms in MatLab and observing the types of numerical errors that arise. It is suitable for junior and senior undergraduates students and provides an understanding of basic numerical methods with focuses on accounting for numerical errors in order to analyze engineering problems using numerical solutions.

Animal Behavior Theory
This course will explore the scientific study of animal behavior in the context of natural selection and evolutionary theory following Rubenstein's text, "Animal Behavior," in addition to examples from contemporary literature. As a group, we will investigate functional and evolutionary bases of animal behavior in the context of reproductive behavior, mating systems, parental care, altruism, social behavior, communication, and cognition.
Animal Behavior Research
This hands-on field course will cover research methods for observing, coding, and analyzing animal behavior. We will practice behavior sampling and recording techniques on domestic animals at the farm, wild animals in the campus woods, and captive animals in the lab. We will use tools and equipment for measuring and tracking behaviors, including social behavior, foraging and communication behavior.

Appetite
(Offered as NEUR 317 and PSYC 317) Although the ingestive act per se is clear and simple, understanding the multifarious influences that are distilled into the decision at any given moment to eat, or not to eat, remains a ponderous challenge for scientists. The obesity epidemic of the last several decades continues to spread across the globe, leading to a rise in metabolic diseases and more pressing need than ever to understand the neurobiological controls of eating and body weight.

Literature on Trial
Why are novels so interested in trials? What is the relationship between literary and legal interpretation, and between the role of a reader and that of a juror? How do we interpret “facts” in a literary text versus a legal context? In this course, we will read texts that feature trials in order to explore the relationship between the literary and the legal, two very different ways of making sense of the world that collide in works about trials.
Compiler Design
An introduction to the principles of the design of compilers, which are translators that convert programs from a source language to a target language. Compilers typically take programs written in a general-purpose programming language, such as Java or C, and produce equivalent assembly language programs.
