Sectioned course. A course designed to teach the mat exercises of Joseph Pilates. These exercises increase core strength, increase joint mobility and stability, and increase muscle tone and flexibility. By the end of this course the student will be able to develop and maintain their own Pilates matwork program. Enrollment limited to 25.

This course covers a variety of math topics of particular use to physics and engineering students. Topics include differential equations, complex numbers, Taylor series, linear algebra, Fourier analysis, partial differential equations and a review of multivariate calculus, with particular focus on physical interpretation and application. Co-requisite: PHY 215. Prerequisites: MTH 212 and PHY 117, or permission of the instructor.

Examining subject matter from the standpoint of pedagogical content knowledge. The course includes methods of planning, teaching and assessment appropriate to the grade level and subject matter area. Content frameworks and standards serve as the organizing themes for the course. This course is designed as a companion seminar for students doing a full-time practicum at the middle or high school level. Admission by permission of the department. Preregistration meeting scheduled in April.

Full-time practicum in middle and high schools. Open to seniors only and to those students who completed the prerequisite courses (EDC 238, 232, 342 and 347) . Admission by permission of the department. Preregistration meeting scheduled in April.

The interaction of light with molecules is central to studies of molecular structure and reactivity. This course builds on students' understanding of molecular structure from the core sequence (CHM 111-CHM 224) to show how many types of light can be used to interrogate molecules and to shed some light on their behavior. The combined classroom/laboratory format allows students to explore light-based instruments in short, in-class exercises as well as in longer, more traditional labs.

Synthetic techniques and experimental design in the context of multistep synthesis. The literature of chemistry, methods of purification and characterization with a focus on NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and chromatography. Prerequisite: CHM 223. Enrollment limited to 15.

This course introduces students to the variety of methods of inquiry used for research in anthropology. Students are introduced to methods of locating and analyzing information and sources, developing research questions, and writing in the course of the semester. Course topics vary. Normally taken in the sophomore or junior year. Prerequisite: ANT 130. Enrollment limited to anthropology majors. Enrollment limited to 20. The course critically examines the transformative impact of the Internet and related technological innovations from an anthropological perspective.

Growth and development of children, significance of early experiences. Personality development and its relation to problems of formal learning for both hearing children and the deaf and hard of hearing.

Limited enrollment.
