3.00 Credits
Much of modern chemical analysis is based on instrumental techniques. This course will consider the basic principles underlying some widely used methods and will include hands-on laboratory experience carrying out some analytical procedures. Examples of methods to be included are atomic absorption spectroscopy, flame emission spectroscopy, visible-ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, visible and X-ray fluorescence, gas and liquid chromatography. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Atomic and molecular structure will be discussed from the point of view of bonding and energy and how these relate to spectroscopic properties. Use of spectra for establishing the structure of molecules will be stressed. Some laboratory exercises will be included. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Depending on the instructor, this course will introduce the student to, among other things, some fundamental concepts from graph theory and combinatorics and will address additional topics from a standard discrete mathematics course within the context of these content areas. There will be an emphasis on modeling real situations and testing intuition. The course seeks to stress pedagogically the process of doing mathematics as an ongoing process and to emphasize the importance of communication of questions, conjectures, and results in mathematics, both verbally and in writing and to model an environment in which inquiry-based learning plays an important role. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Students will be introduced to some fundamental concepts from discrete dynamics, including, among others, chaos theory, and will be urged to suggest and discuss applications of mathematics to several fields, such as epidemiology. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Students will use one or more software packages to investigate the problems and explore the nature of the various geometries. Topics will be chosen from, among others, ruler and compass constructions and constructible number; history and famous problems in geometry; advanced Euclidean geometry; axiomatic approaches to geometry; transformations of the Euclidean Plane; convexity and applications. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Participants will study teaching and learning beginning with reflection on their own pedagogical practices and leading to an examination of perspectives on learning offered by developmental psychology, cognitive science and interactional sociology. Students will refine their skills in analyzing social situations and diagnosing their students' understanding and misunderstanding. A course project will involve students in comparing teaching and learning across a range of interactional teaching contexts including their own classes and interactive multimedia learning environments. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the major areas of philosophy (ethics, theory of knowledge, philosophy of religion, etc.) and to some of the main problems treated within these fields. Selections from contemporary as well as classical authors are studied and discussed. Students are encouraged to develop a disciplined approach to intellectual problems. Emphasis varies with the instructor. When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind. Students will debate and write papers on the nature of mind, free will, personal identity, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and animal cognition. This is a communication-intensive course. When Offered: Fall annually. Cross Listed: (Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and IHSS 1964-Minds and Machines.) Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides tools for the identification, analysis, and evaluation of the various patterns of reasoning as they occur in the real world. Patterns of reasoning include deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, scientific reasoning, statistical reasoning, and causal reasoning. The course also covers some basic psychology and sociology of reasoning and belief, and concludes with a critical discussion of science and the scientific method. When Offered: Spring term annually . Cross Listed: Cross-listed as PSYC 2100. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and PSYC 2100. Credit Hours: 4
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the new and quickly growing field of Cognitive Science which studies the various aspects of cognition, including reasoning, learning, memory, and perception and action. Cognitive Science is a highly interdisciplinary field of study at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, and anthropology, and the course hosts a number of guest lectures given by experts in these respective fields. This is a communication-intensive course. When Offered: Spring term annually . Cross Listed: Cross-listed as PSYC 2120. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and PSYC 2120. Credit Hours: 4
