Calculus is often thought of as useful in solving a series of equations and/or describing a function's behavior. In this course we will explore the driving motivations of using calculus by building video games utilizing calculus concepts. Topics include: 1) functional programming; 2) basic concepts of calculus - functions, rate of change, differentiation; 3) differential equations; 4) video game design; 5) data structures. No programming or calculus experience is required, but a familiarity with basic algebra is highly recommended.

This seminar is designed for incoming doctoral students in social justice education. It examines different epistemological orientations and inquiry methods used in conducting research by scholars in the field. The course explores the boundaries between theory, research, policy and practice in social justice education; examine personal, practical, epistemological and political dilemmas in producing scholarly work, and review and apply inquiry methods and tools that support critical, systematic scholarship and evidence based practices in social justice education.

In this class, students will meet and form teams to identify an environmental monitoring project they would like to design and implement. After projects are identified, we will use weekly class sessions for roll-up your sleeves working sessions on these projects. In these sessions you will (1) utilize online educational material to learn the technologies needed to build your device; (2) work iteratively, to develop and test a project prototype; and (3) (hopefully) develop a working system.

With lab. Introduction to 200 basic ornamental plants used in landscape architectural, horticultural, arboricultural, and other design uses; their identification, uses, and cultural requirements. Two weekly field trips around campus. Workbook with sketches required.

Offered both semesters each year.
