Whether in a theater, on television or a video, fictional cinema has become the most influential art form of our age. But how does it influence us; and how much Do these moving images refine our sensibilities and expand our horizons or, rather, are we numbed and pacified by what we see and desire Are we, for better or for worse, choosing our entertainment, or are the real decisions being made by small elites with their own agenda or something to sell In this course we will view a number of America's most popular films, numerous film clips, and selected readings as we learn how to analyze the social meanings of popular movies and madefor- television dramas. (John Grady)

Does "class" matter today in our global world?ow Does it shape our life chances and opportunities Does it create flexible social mobility or reinforce durable inequalities Is class-based disparity increasing or decreasing with global capitalism What are the changing global class structures or class formations How about in the United States- is its class structure open or closed This course investigates the great debates on "class," variousapproaches to class analysis, and their relevance in understanding the contemporary social world.

3.00 Credits
Quantitative methods are necessary to adequately describe, analyze, and understand environmental processes. The course includes an introduction to three distinct areas of analysis common in environmental problems-basic statistics, multivariate and spatial statistics, and numerical modeling. Emphasis is on computer use and applications of the methods to study of the environment. Three lectures, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites: ENVR 221, MATH 115 or equivalent competency. S 2009
-
3.00 Credits
A survey and analysis of major scientific problems and foundational philosophies underlying contemporary environmental ethics and the application of environmental ethics to the scientific and professional practice of conservation and environmental stewardship in scientific research, personal decision making, and professional environmental management. Prerequisite: Lab science course; meets upper division General Education requirement.

3.00 Credits
Increasingly models are used to understand and solve environmental processes and systems and to aid in environmental management. The course will introduce students to a variety of modeling methods (e.g. physical/mathematical, discrete/continuous, finite difference/finite element, stochastic/deterministic) and give environmental examples from the geological, biological, climatological, and socio-politico-economic fields. Students will analyze a problem and determine which type of model is appropriate and then proceed to construct the model. They will evaluate existing models with respect to boundary conditions, input, resolution, numerical stability, and appropriateness of assumptions. Three lectures, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites: ENVR 241. Alternate years. S 2008

3.00 Credits
A survey of concepts and problem solving involving the interaction of people and earth systems. Subject matter is intended to provide background for domestic, as well as international interests. Topics in lecture and lab include basic systems analysis, energy, pollution abatement, water systems, construction criteria, and testing/utilization of earth materials. Three lectures, three hours laboratory. Prerequisites: ENVR 221 and ENVR 241 or PHYS 221, PHYS 231 or permission of the instructor. Alternate years. F 2009
