This course is designed to familiarize students in economics, business and social science disciplines with the use of experiments to answer research questions. We will study the methodology of experiments as well as important papers in several field topics which will be selected based on the interests of participants. Students will gain experience presenting research, analyzing papers, and writing grant proposals as a part of this course.

Through play, game and sport students will have the opportunity to explore learning theories, leadership skills, developmentally appropriate practices that inform best practices related to sport and physical activity. (Gen. Ed. SB)

Throughout the course, students will build a solid foundation in rhythm, coordination, strength, and stamina, all of which are applicable to various dance styles. By focusing on these fundamental aspects, participants will not only develop their skills in Bollywood dance but also enhance their abilities across various dance styles. Students will also engage in ear training exercises to develop their ability to discern various beats, enabling them to recognize and appreciate the unique sounds of traditional Indian instruments.

Throughout the semester, students will actively participate in the choreographic process as they create or rework dance pieces. A strong background in modern dance technique and improvisational skills is preferred as these technical elements will serve as a solid base for the choreographic and performance aspects of the course. Students will have the opportunity to refine their technique, expand their movement vocabulary, and explore improvisational skills within the context of choreography.
