Advanced study of the physiological responses to exercise, from the cell to the whole body. The effects of exercise training, extreme environments, and other challenges to homeostasis will be addressed. Students will be expected to have a strong working knowledge of basic exercise physiology principles.

How is culture constructed through face-to-face interactions? How do race, language, and culture shape learning? What consequences exist for those differing from dominant norms? What evidence is there that participants are constructing interpretations, at times at odds with each other? What are the implications of this research for educators and diverse communities? In this course, we will survey how crosscultural communication has been researched, both for learning language and for examining its role in the academic progress of linguistically diverse learners.

This course enhances the thesis research experience for students in the iCons program through peer support teams and advanced scientific communication as students prepare to present their research findings at the Statewide Undergraduate Conference and at the iCons Senior Exposition. This course satisfies Integrative Experience criterion #1 by providing a structured context for students to reflect on and to integrate their previous learning as they prepare to present their senior research findings in these two public forums.
