  • SW 232: Dimensions of Aging

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Living longer provides us many opportunities and challenges. Our parents, our relatives, our friends and ourselves are all involved in aging. This is a journey that we all take without much planning or preparation. We will explore many facets and perspectives on aging to deepen our understanding and empathy and enable our own plan. Students will examine the aging process from many perspectives, including social, psychological, economic, physical, and health. We will identify and analyze our attitudes toward aging. Through reading, lectures, guest speakers, interviews and personal planning we will: - analyze and evaluate broad societal and specific cultural attitudes toward aging. - evaluate strategies for successful aging and design a personal plan. - develop interviewing and discussion skills around complex and changing identities related to aging. Competences: A3G, H1B, H2X, S2X, S3B. Faculty: Patrick Ryan

    In the twenty-first century the business landscape is changing more rapidly than ever before, organizations of every level are facing a myriad of restructuring issues. To meet the emerging needs, organization design is becoming more, not less, important. There is a need for dynamic, reconfigurable organizations that recognize and respond to rapid changes. A well-thought-out organization design empowers and enables employees to work in the highly interdependent, team-oriented environments that typify today s business landscape. Further, the clearer the rationale for the design, the more quickly design decisions can be reassessed and modified to respond to external forces. This course provides business leaders at all levels everything they need to implement positive, progressive change. Competences: A2C, H2C, L7, S3F, FX. Faculty: Kumiko Watanuki

  • SW 234: Virtual Paleontology

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    "Paleontology is the study of fossils which are the remains and traces of past living things. The investigation of fossils is essential to our understanding of how life originated and evolved on earth. Fossils provide us with critical information regarding the character and age of the most significant biological events in earth's history, including: the earliest forms of life, the pivotal development of multi-celled plants and animals, the rise and demise of the dinosaurs, the adaptive diversification of mammals, and the origin of our own species. This course will examine how fossils can be used to decipher ancient patterns of development and change within earth's physical and biological systems, how biodiversity patterns for fossil groups compare to living groups, and how the anatomy of plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate fossil groups evolved in both form and function. Other topics will include: fossil preservation, determining the age of fossils, reconstructing ancient environments and ecosystems, lifestyles of fossils, dinosaurs, mass extinctions and the evolution-creation controversy. This course is offered via the Internet and makes use of the exciting and growing graphical resources available there on paleontology topics. Students will be introduced to major paleontology principles and issues through readings, links to multimedia resources on the Web, structured chat-room discussions, virtual labs and simulations, fossil specimen kits, a fieldtrip to a natural history museum or fossil site, and original inquiry into a current topic in paleontology. Assessment of student learning will be based on participation in course activities, lab and simulation reports, an essay exam on course readings, and development of a detailed research paper on a current issue in paleontology. The research paper will follow a scientific journal format and will employ scientific reasoning. Pre-'99 Competencies: PW-2, PW-4, PW-5, PW-G, PW-I,PW-O. BA'99 Competencies: S-4; S-1-A; S-1-B; S-2-A; S-2-C; S-3-E. Faculty: Kevin Downing"

  • SW 236: Life Management Principls

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Stress is a complex part of contemporary life that is not easily defined. It is a product of many biological and psychological factors that are perceived and expressed uniquely by individuals. Stress can be both exhilarating and debilitating, depending on the individual and the context. This course will address concepts, theories and models of stress; biopsychological foundations of stress; social systems of stress, and the various techniques for managing stress.

  • SW 237: Tremendous Pwr of Self Inquiry

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    This course is designed to liberate you from suffering, brought on by self-image and self concern. The method that we will explore, known as Self-inquiry, goes beyond mere spiritual practice to a little known secret called awakening. The question "Who am I ," which spontaneously arose in the life of India's greatest modern sage, is "the most direct path to enlightenment." This question, properly understood, will lead not to an experience but to a realization, a seeing that brings ultimate freedom. The realization that Reality is undivided and that the ego is a mistaken identity brings instant: Peace, Joy, and Love-- (not as something foreign but as a result of a direct encounter or direct discovery of who one is.) As a general rule, we see the world as we are. Why not know ourselves first That is the message of the mystics. What good is knowledge of the world if you, yourself, are unexplored Explore yourself, and you might just find that you are all that you seek. Competences: A3B, H3I, L7, S4. Faculty: Kevin Edwards

  • SW 239 THE: Botanical World

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    All life is dependent on plants. They are our most precious resource. Our relationship with the plant world encompasses things we take for granted: food, clothes, furniture, musical instruments, medicines, homes and the aesthetic qualities of plants that permeate and refresh the human condition. Recent scientific successes in genetics and biotechnology have made us more aware of what has been done to plants. In this highly interactive course, we will explore these new controversial revelations and the connections between plants and our individual lives. While this is not a laboratory course, we will look at and take apart real plants in and outside the classroom, and even grow some lower plants (molds) at home. There will be one field trip to the Lincoln Park Conservatory and a walk around the Loop (weather permitting). Competencies: S-1-A, S-2-X, S-3-B, S-4.. Faculty: Nadine Bopp

  • SW 241: Gold, Oil, Gems & Soil

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    From the oil, coal, and nuclear materials that supply us energy to the metallic minerals and soils that make available building materials, electronics, jewelry and food, modern civilization is dependent on an assortment of non-renewable resources. This course will introduce you to the geologic processes that generate society s principal mineral and energy resources including oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear materials, gold, industrial metals, gems, and soils. We will investigate how geological circumstances result in the geographic distribution and scarcity of mineral and energy resources, the historic interdependence to and competition of societies for these resources, and the geopolitical and economic consequences of resource depletion due to population growth and global industrialization. Topics investigated will include: oil formation and peak oil; coal/natural gas formation and cap and trade policies; nuclear fuels and enviro-statism; gold formation, gold as money, and gold as a cultural artifact; gem formation, crystallography and gem use in jewelry; metallic mineral formation, industrial use, and scarcity trends; soil formation, farming and soil depletion; and the global outlook on mineral and energy resources. Competences: S1B, S2C, S3C, S4. Faculty: Kevin Downing
