This seminar will help students improve their R skills through discussion and demonstration of their own R code. The course will give an overview of popular and powerful R features and packages and direct students to resources for further learning. The course will demonstrate tips for good R coding and avoiding common pitfalls for EWRE application. Specific topics will include plotting (including ggplot2), version control (with git), data cleaning (with reshape2 and dplyr), and reproducible research (with knitr).

This course will present an advanced, discussion-based overview of the constitutive equations of polymer rheology, with the course sequence split into two parts, continuum-based fluid descriptions and molecule-based descriptions. The continuum portion will directly extend material introduced in PSE797X while the molecular portion will examine how to translate models for polymer dynamics into constitutive equations for bulk flow; specific models will include dumbbell, Rouse/Zimm, and reptation models.

This class is designed for students who are currently facilitating student learning in classes, workshops, or other learning environments. This course provides structured support for student facilitators to implement engaged, critical pedagogical practices. Through practical exercises, students will learn how to develop classroom communities that are experiential, relational and social justice oriented. Class activities and assignments will be directly related to student facilitators' current work.
