The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the process and some of the major substantive issues in urban policy and politics both in the United States in the world. These include some of the basic issues of any political system: how cities function as part of a global urban network; the structure of decision making; the allocation of resources; and delivery of services. Prerequisite: HI 2104.
-
3.00 Credits
The scientific study of behavior and the mind. Topics include experimental design and basic statistics, learning and memory and biopsychology. Also included: the nature of sensation and perception, cognitive, abnormal, developmental, social and environmental psychology. Course consists of lectures, class discussion, films and videos, and a number of projects, both in class and on computers. Prerequisite: HI 2104.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the relationship between the body, especially the brain, and behavior and the mind. Topics include the physiological and biochemical bases for learning, memory, sensation and perception, motor control, hunger, sex, sleep, and mental disorders. Lateralization in the brain and its implications, as well as techniques and technologies in neuroscience. Course consists of lectures, class discussion, films and videos and a number of projects, both in class and on computers. Prerequisite: PS 2104.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines behavior and neuroanatomical mechanisms across species providing an investigation of comparative developmental stages, causal mechanisms, evolutionary history and function of animals' behavior. Topics include learning and cognition, neuroanatomical and neurochemical controls of behavior, thought and language, sensory and perceptual capacities and the biological bases of social behavior. In addition to course text readings and lectures, students participate in labs (interactive computer programs), in-class demonstrations, fieldtrips and videos that provide hands on experience and supplementary exposure to examples of concepts and ideas within the area of comparative psychology. Prerequisite: PS 2104 (PS 3214 is optional).
-
3.00 Credits
This course concerns the experimental analysis of cognition and behavior in animals. Most of the discussions focus on laboratory findings with animals, but as viewed from an evolutionary framework concerned with the natural histories of the species. In addition to discussions of established results about cognition and intelligence in animals, an important emphasis is also placed on critiquing the methods of these studies, specifically the logic, evidence and technology used to test and interpret conclusions. Prerequisite: PS 2104.

3.00 Credits
Explores issues of human behavior as it is affected by social interaction and situations. Addresses the nature of social psychological inquiry, with particular emphasis on research methods. Course topics include aggression, altruism, attitudes, attraction, conformity, group dynamics, perception of self and others, prejudice, social roles, the biological basis of social behavior and interpersonal bargaining. Cultural differences in interpreting social behavior and context are also considered. Students are asked to collect data on social psychological phenomenon for each major topic covered, as the major part of the laboratory requirement. A final term paper is required that contains a review and critical analysis of the research on a topic in social psychology. Prerequisite: PS 2104.

3.00 Credits
Course deals with the interactions people have with built and natural environments: how settings affect behavior; how people change environments to fit their needs; how people can become an active part of the environmental design process. It is concerned with the way people use space and the way environmental design meets (or fails to meet) human needs. These concerns are valid for very small scale design problems (as in human factors engineering); mid-size spaces (architecture and interior design); and for large scale spaces (communities, urban areas). The goals of the course are to introduce the student to this subject matter, provide familiarity with research methods associated to studying people and behavior in real world settings and issues in environment and human relations. Prerequisite: PS 2104.
