3.00 Credits
This course updates basic geographic skills of teachers. The geographic themes of location, place, humanenvironmental interactions, movement, and regions are introduced, discussed and demonstrated. Emphasis is placed upon techniques for teaching concepts of spatial analysis. Prerequisite: GARP 0101 or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to a variety of statistical methods used in research across the social and scientific realms with emphasis primarily upon applications rather than theory. The class is taught in the computer laboratory, with class time divided between lectures and PC-based exercises using SPSS statistical software. Topics include data measurement levels, measures of central tendency and dispersion, frequency distributions, cross-tabulations, hypothesis testing, chisquare analyses, t-tests, regression, and bivariate and multiple correlation. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing.
-
3.00 - 12.00 Credits
Students must apply for an internship to the Coordinator of Regional Planning one semester in advance of the one during which he/she will be scheduled to do the internship. Students who meet the criteria for internship status are matched with available options. Special interests and requirements of the skills of the internship position are taken into consideration in the assignment.
-
3.00 Credits
Discussion of growth and structure of selected third world cities as illustrations of process of urbanization. Specific third world regions will be studied around five basic themes: (1) evolution of urban systems and settlements; (2) internal structure and models of cities; (3) major distinctive or representative centers; (4) linkages of the region to the world system; (5) contemporary major urban problems and solutions.
-
3.00 Credits
This upper-level seminar focuses on green sustainable cities' planning concepts and initiatives by comparing American and European cities. It explores environmentally friendly dimensions of urban form, design, transportation, sprawl, urban ecology and restoration, energy and material use, green architecture, environmental justice, and social equity. Readings, writings, discussions, planning exercises, case studies, and field trips allow students to understand sustainable urban patterns and dimensions. Each student will have an individual research project, which involves data collection and analysis, identification of urban and environmental problems, and recommendations. Prerequisite: Junior/Senior standing or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the basic methods used to make physical and socio-cultural observations or measurements in a spatial setting. Off-campus field work is required. Specific skills developed include map reading, aerial photographic interpretation, field sketch mapping, compass traverses, sampling, questionnaire design, interviewing, analysis, and reporting. Prerequisites: GARP 0102 and junior/senior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Focus of the seminar is on the formulation and development of a plan which addresses a particular land use or growth management problem. Readings and discussion involve aspects of the master planning process. Projects involve environmental pollution impact studies. Independent research is conducted by collecting and analyzing data and recommending alternatives and solutions to the planning problem. Prerequisite: GARP 0105, GARP 0106, and GARP 0340 or GARP 0346; or permission of instructor.
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
A course by special arrangement in a specific theoretical or applied area in Geography or Regional Planning. A student may be assigned a series of readings and discussions, or and applied project in an area of environmental quality control, land preservation, or design techniques.
-
4.00 Credits
broad introductory survey of geology that focuses on the role of plate tectonic theory in providing a fundamental understanding of the Earth as a global system. The course also provides students with an introduction to scientific methodology and to the multifaceted interactions between science, technology and society. Topics to be covered include the minerals and rocks that make up the Earth's crust, the processes of weathering and erosion that shape the Earth's surface, the internal structure of the Earth, geological hazards, and energy and mineral resources. The laboratory portion of the course provides a "hands-on" introduction to the practical aspects ofphysical geology, including the identification of minerals and rocks, the interpretation of topographic and geologic maps, and the development of landforms. The course includes several field trips that involve additional time commitments (on weekends or beyond the normal ending time for the laboratory) . Students may receive credit for either GEOL 0101 or GEOL 0102, but not for both. Three hours lecture, two hours laboratory per week. (formerly PHYS 0103)
