Semester Hours: 4 Spring This course will introduce students to the evolutionary and ecological processes that affect individual organisms, populations and communities. Topics of study include the unity and diversity of life, the complex web of ecological interactions between organisms and their environment, andthe evolutionary mechanisms that shape life's diversity. In addition, related topics of current interest, such as biodiversity, conservation, and behavioral ecology will be considered. This class is required for biology majors, and relies on students having a foundation in cell biology and genetics, as provided through the prerequisite course, BIO 11. The laboratory component of this class emphasizes hands-on learning through a combination of field work, interactive computer simulations, and classroom laboratories that stress student participation and critical thought. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, 1 hour recitation.) Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: BIO 11, 12 or permission of instructor.

Practical application of statistical techniques to the analysis of data typically encountered by researchers in the life and health sciences. Students learn practical and intuitive approaches to choosing statistical techniques appropriate for particular experimental designs. Parametric statistical tests covered include single and two-way ANOVA, regression and correlation. Tests of “messy� or nonparametric data are considered as well, including analysis of frequencies and substitutions for ANOVA (2 hours lecture, 1 hour recitation).

Intended for non-science majors. Lecture and laboratory course designed to introduce students to the basics of human anatomy, physiology, health, and disease. Course focuses on the systems of the vertebrate body: muscular, skeletal, endocrine, nervous, circulatory, immune, respiratory, reproductive, and digestive. Emphasis is placed on using the scientific method to gain new knowledge about how the human body works. Laboratory sessions are used to learn basic microscope technique, investigate the structure and function of the body, and to design and carry out experiments. (2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory.) SSI 60408: ( Lecture): M-Th, 8-9:30 a.m., Hecht, 226 Gittleson 60409: ( Lab): T-Th, 9:45-11:45 a.m., Hecht, 226 Gittleson

During this site experience, students will identify current ethical and professional issues in a clinical art therapy setting. Observations on the art therapy process as it relates to theory will formulate the foundations of this practicum. Students will complete 50 on-site hours, attend a weekly seminar, and satisfactorily show competence through a supervisor’s evaluation. Students will select either a child and/or adolescent setting or an adult or geriatric setting.

This course is designed to promote understanding of various socio-cultural frameworks from which an effective art therapy program can be built. Attention is given to variables that require consideration when working with diverse groups of people. Students view contemporary art forms that express social concerns.

This course studies a person from various perspectives. We look at the medical model: diagnosis (DSM-IVR), medication (psychopharmacology), the psychiatric mental status examination, and the person’s internal experiences. From the perspective of non-medical interventions, we study appropriate art therapy and counseling techniques and interventions to remedy the problem. We specifically explore affective disorders, psychosis, substance abuse, and childhood disturbances. Students are exposed to the medical, psychological, counseling and expressive aspects of clinical treatment.

This course examines the nature of creativity with a concentration on contemporary psychological perspectives and the creative arts. Students study conditions that foster creativity, current working definitions, the creative processes demonstrated by famous people, and the dynamics of the creative person. The relationship between culture and creativity is also explored as are resources for use in different settings and with diverse populations. Attention is given to the gifted and other high-ability learners.
