This course is the culmination of the student's clinical experience. Students provide care for patients in the clinical setting in consultation with the faculty. The student is expected to develop, implement and evaluate appropriate treatment plans based on a comprehensive assessment of the patients' condition. Clinical recommendations and actions are based on the integrated application of dental hygiene theory. Students and faculty function as colleagues, serving the patients' oral health care needs together. Students discuss and research pertinent aspects of patient care with faculty to develop proficiency in clinical treatment and decision making that is beyond the basic established level of competence.

You already know that mathematics and physics ¿make the world go round,¿ but here is your chance to prove it in the lab! This course combines mathematical exploration with experiences in both computer and physics laboratories. Discovery experiments in the physics lab involving circuits, springs, sound tubes and dynamic carts as examples of potential decay, harmonic motion, acoustics, and Newtonian mechanics will be followed by mathematical analysis in the classroom. Additional topics include geometry and mathematics of music. Students will use mathematics software such as Maple and Geometer¿s Sketchpad in the computer lab for further analysis and visualization of concepts.

This course surveys the biographies of fascinating political and cultural rebels as windows into modern U.S. history. We begin by asking what characteristics mark someone as a rebel or radical, paying close attention to how issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality at times have informed politics and culture. Students will then proceed to choose one or two historical figures to investigate with the goal of presenting their findings to the class. Expect some controversial discussion sot take place as we explore the lives of colorful figures who made their mark on history!

How do humans think? This course is a survey of major topics in the biology of cognition, with an emphasis on learning, motivation and emotion. Students will start by examining our current understanding of the mind/body connection. From there we will focus on mechanisms of cognition from a variety of viewpoints, including behavioral phenomena, brain structures, neurotransmitter or hormonal systems and cellular mechanism. Lecture and discussion will be supplemented with demonstrations and hands-on activities potentially including computer simulations, sheep-brain dissections and in-class experiments

Explore a wide range of art and the criticism that it inspired. Read short works by Yale University¿s Harold Bloom, Creem¿s Lester Bangs, Rolling Stone¿s David Fricke, Thomas Merton, Jonathan Franzen, Walter Kerr and others. Participants will also read compelling short pieces by the likes of Hemingway, E.B. White, and Jamaica Kincaid and craft their responses via comparative textual analysis. Students might enter the class already understanding what kinds of art touch them, but they will leave the course more fully able to explain in writing what they found so moving.
