STAT METHOD/UNDERGRAD RESEARCH

(Formerly PSY/MTH 190) Same as MTH 201. An overview of the statistical methods needed for undergraduate research emphasizing methods for data collection, data description, and statistical inference including an introduction to study design, confidence intervals, testing hypotheses, analysis of variance and regression analysis. Techniques for analyzing both quantitative and categorical data will be discussed. Applications are emphasized, and students use SPSS and other statistical software for data analysis.

The course enables students to read extended texts with greater accuracy at the advanced level by focusing on meaning, information structure, language form, and markers of cohesive discourse.

INTRO TO BIOLOG MICROSCOPY LAB

Students will design experiments to answer current questions in cell biology with an emphasis on the techniques of light (fluorescence, confocal, DIC) and electron (transmission and scanning) microscopy. The specific advantages and complementary type of data generated by each instrument will be emphasized. Laboratory techniques for the introduction of fluorescent proteins and other molecular and cellular details of experimental design will be covered.

INTRO TO BIOLOGICAL MICROSCOPY

The theory, principles and techniques of light (fluorescence, confocal, DIC) microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy in biology, including basic optics, instrument design, and image analysis. Particular attention will be paid to experimental design and how microscopy-based experiments answer biological questions at the molecular and cellular level. The use of fluorescent proteins in data generation will be considered along with discussions of elucidating the relationship between structure and function in biology. Prerequisite: BIO 202.

AUDIO, ACOUST, & ROLE OF TEACH

Auditory feedback: from speech perception to speech production.Cochlear Implants: history, biological implications, candidacy, ethical issues, surgical preparation; hardware, programming, trouble shooting; habilitation and classroom application. Communication access, assistive devices and classroom acoustics. Prerequisite: EDC 565. Limited to candidates for the M.E.D. degree. (E)
