Introduces children's language development, including the acquisition of phonology, syntax, and semantics. Focuses on the acquisition of a first language by young children, comparing the acquisition of a variety of spoken and signed languages to find possible universal principles of language learning.
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines techniques for telling stories or creating poetry in ASL. Eye gaze, role shifting, spatial referencing and appropriate use of classifiers in storytelling will be featured. ASL poems on videotape will be analyzed for their poetic devices and elements. Guest lecturers will demonstrate related forms of expression, such as "signlore", signing for the stage, and nonverbal communication. Students will be given the opportunity to create literary forms from their personal experiences, as well as from well-known sources, throughout the course with guidance from the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Investigation of language attitudes, language policy, language use in society, and discourse analysis.
-
0.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
4.00 Credits
To acquaint the nonphysical science concentrator with aspects of the historical and modern study of the solar system, including results from space probe studies, and with theories dealing with the evolution of the solar system.
-
4.00 Credits
A review of the evidence for habitats and the building blocks of life in extraterrestrial space, the possibilities for the development of life elsewhere, and the light that these ideas cast on the origins of life on Earth. We also discuss the future of civilizations like ours, the possibilities of travel to other habitable planets and communication between advanced cultures spread widely through space. The material we discuss will be drawn very widely from astronomy, physics, geology, chemistry and biology, presented with a minimum of mathematical complexity (Offered Spring, Summer first 6 week session). Typical textbook: Neal Evans, "Extraterrestrial Life," fifth edition
-
4.00 Credits
Application of the physics and math techniques learned in the introductory course sequences, to the study of celestial objects outside the Solar system. We discuss stars and their formation from interstellar matter, the structure of galaxies and their distribution in the Universe, and the origins and large-scale structure of the Universe: all topics that are developed much further in the AST 200-level courses. The course also includes a night-time observing project, based upon student use of professional-style telescopes and CCD cameras. Registration of recitation is required at the time of course registration. Typical textbook: Marck Kutner, "Astronomy" A Physical Perspective," second edition.
-
4.00 Credits
This introduction to the physical processes in astronomical objects is taken primarily by juniors and seniors majoring in physics, physics and astronomy, optics, or mathematics. Topics discussed include physical processes in the interstellar medium; star formation and molecular clouds; the structure of galaxies; and interaction to cosmology.
-
0.00 Credits
Introduction to the techniques of physics instruction, active observation, and participation in the teaching of an undergraduate course under the guidance of a faculty member. (Same as AST 390).
-
