Formerly MTH 245. An application-oriented introduction to modern statistical inference: study design, descriptive statistics; random variables; probability and sampling distributions; point and interval estimates; hypothesis tests, resampling procedures and multiple regression. A wide variety of applications from the natural and social sciences are used. Classes meet for lecture/discussion and for a required laboratory that emphasizes analysis of real data. MTH 220 satisfies the basis requirement for biological science, engineering, environmental science, neuroscience and psychology.

Same as PSY 110. An introduction to the organization and function of the mammalian nervous system. An in-depth exploration of the brain using multiple levels of analysis ranging from molecular to cognitive and behavioral approaches. An appreciation of how brain cells interact to orchestrate adaptive responses and experiences will be gained. Seniors require permission of the instructor. This course has no prerequisites. Not open to senior NSC majors.

In a series of seven lectures, writers-creative nonfiction authors, playwrights, novelists, screenwriters, documentarians and short story writers-provide an overview of the practice of creating narratives from specific disciplinary perspectives. Editors, publishers, agents and producers reflect on the publication and production process. Speakers discuss researching, revising, publishing and producing texts and read from their work to provide examples. They also explore questions of style, voice and genre. S/U only. Only meets during the first half of the semester (Jan. 30-Mar. 13).

The course, while using traditional accounting techniques and methodology, focuses on the needs of external users of financial information. The emphasis is on learning how to read, interpret and analyze financial information as a tool to guide investment decisions. Concepts rather than procedures are stressed and class time is largely devoted to problem solutions and case discussions. A basic knowledge of arithmetic and a familiarity with a spreadsheet program is suggested. No more than four credits in accounting may be counted toward the degree.

Topics course. This seminar focuses on the question of nature versus nurture underlying sport performance. We examine what genes or mutations within these genes may allow one to be faster, stronger or run longer. The range of topics chosen for study reflect students' interests and academic expertise. Topics include: 10,000 hours of practice vs.

This course explains how to plan and implement exercise training programs for adults. Students learn applied anatomy, exercise physiology, motivational tools, behavior change, applied biomechanics, and how to measure and evaluate fitness variables. During this highly experiential course students learn to design and operate individualized programs. Students who successfully complete this course are prepared to complete the American College of Sports Medicine's personal training certification. Enrollment limited to 16. Prerequisites: ESS 100 or 175 is recommended.

A course in applied anatomy and biomechanics. Students learn basic structural anatomy as well as the application of mechanics to human movement. Special emphasis is given to the qualitative analysis of human movement. This is an important course for any student who intends to study physical therapy or personal training.

The physical and psychological components of stress, identification of personal stress response patterns and techniques for daily stress management. Enrollment limited to 20.

While scholarship on contemporary American society often emphasizes how distracted and disconnected we are, it can also be argued that we have developed new ways of connecting, generating intimacies that challenge, exceed or swerve from traditional categorizations (e.g. sexual, familial). What are the queer and feminist resonances of these modes of intimacy? How has new media and technology helped to generate and proliferate new forms of intimacy?
