This course will address biomarkers in both health and disease. Students select appropriate biomarkers and research methods to assess underlying processes and mechanisms.

Large-scale software systems like Google - deployed over a world-wide network of hundreds of thousands of computers - have become a part of our lives. These are systems success stories - they are reliable, available ("up" nearly all the time), handle an unbelievable amount of load from users around the world, yet provide virtually instantaneous results. On the other hand, many computer systems don't perform nearly as well as Google - hence the now-cliche "the system is down." In this class, we study the scientific principles behind the construction of high-performance, scalable systems.

This course is structured around six social and professional domains in which interpreting and translation play a significant role (Healthcare, Business, Court/Police, Refugee/Asylum, Human Rights Commissions, and the Military). Students will work on understanding the institutional structures and discursive practices of these particular domains; gain relevant vocabulary; and continue to practice translating, sight translating and interpreting relevant texts.

Comp Lit 482 is the second part of a two-semester Certificate in the study of interpreting and translation across a range of contexts. In this course, students will continue to build on the knowledge and skills they acquired in the previous semester. The course is structured around four social and professional domains in which interpreting and translation play a significant role: Diplomatic, Healthcare, Business, and the Law (Court/Prison/Police, International Tribunals and Truth and Reconciliation Committees).

This class is for anyone working for or with local or regional governments. It is a hands-on examination of the tools and techniques communities use to get good things done: zoning and regulations, protection of natural areas and downtown parklets, tweaking transportation systems to serve all modes of travel, finding the money, managing planning functions, regulations, and everything in between.

This course is an introduction to critical topics in design and planning as a medium for envisioning the social, cultural, and ecological life of regions, cities and landscapes through the thoughts and works of local, national and international academic and professional leaders. Themes articulate climate change resiliency, social equity, urban design, arts, landscape aesthetics and cultural heritage. Course format is attending the Department's Zube Lecture Series and submission of reflective papers on presented topics.

This course will explore the development of young children from prenatal through toddlerhood. The theories that have shaped our understanding of child development will be examined from a lens of equity and racial justice; the cognitive, linguistic, physical, adaptive, and social-emotional areas of development will be analyzed, and a special focus will be placed on disabilities that can impact infant and toddler development.

Town/urban scale -- issues of design in an urban situation with a focus on areas of public use. Topics on historic preservation. Urban detail design -- issues of urban design at a detailed level. Information from construction, plant materials, planting design, and other studios to develop a complete package of drawings.
