-
1.00 - 5.00 Credits
(1-5 Units) (Topics to be specified in Class Schedule.) Topics vary each term, thus different topics may be taken for credit. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Using case law and research studies, an exploration and analysis of the role and treatment of ethnic minorities in the American criminal justice system from a historical, sociological, and legal perspective. The impact of race in the system, and ethnic minorities as criminal suspects, defendants, convicts, crime victims, and criminal justice professionals are discussed, including the system's biases, disproportionate sentencing, and inappropriate police responses to minority victims. Prerequisites: CJ 2250 or consent of instructor.
-
6.00 Credits
(1-4 Units) For students capable of independent work and in need of advanced and specialized study. May be repeated for a total of 6 units. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. (Fall, Winter, Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Introduction to issues and methods relevant to the study of natural and artificial cognitive processes. Includes a survey of key developments fueling the Cognitive Revolution along with the major models influencing research on artificial intelligence, nonlinear dynamics (chaos theory), the brain/mind relationship, and their applications to human behavior and information processing. Satisfies G.E. area D2.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Introduction to methods used in scientific research, with emphasis on theories, models, and simulations. Focus on quantitative/mathematical tools and techniques for design and analysis of experiments, with particular attention to interdisciplinary approaches useful in cognitive science. (Formerly Cognitive Simulations) Prerequisites: MATH 0105 or passing score on the ELM test, or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) The emergence of telecommunications networks is creating new environments for human interactions that are rapidly altering occupational and social dynamics. This course introduces students to the diversity of network technologies and provides them with sufficient hands-on skills to work in this field. Topics include resource sharing, resource access, and communication. Satisfies G.E. area F3. Prerequisites: Computer background or experience equivalent to CS 1000. (Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 2 hours)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) This course addresses theoretical and quantitative methods useful for work with nonlinear systems from many fields. Together with its laboratory, the course provides experience with phase space maps, Poincare sections, basins of attraction, strange attractors, and fractals and fractal dimensionality. It emphasizes systems best described by discrete math. Examples are drawn from physics, biology, cognitive science, economics, and other areas. (Same as CS 3150) Prerequisites: COGS 2300 or consent of instructor. (Lecture, 2 hours; laboratory, 2 hours)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Cognitive factors affecting the development and complexity of verbal behaviors are examined within the context of brain function and language environments. Prerequisites: COGS 2100 and 2300.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Intensive examination of the conceptual foundations of Cognitive Science, with an emphasis on the philosophical aspects of current theoretical issues. Analysis will focus on behaviorism and functionalism as models for understanding human cognition. Constructive criticism of the representational model of mind; discussion of the significance of recent developments in neuroscience, and of the connectionist movement in artificial intelligence. Satisfies G.E. area F3. Prerequisites: COGS 2100 or consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Focuses on the contemporary theory of information and will include applications to biology/genetics, language/ linguistics, cognitive/artificial intelligence, philosophy, and the arts. Satisfies G.E. areas F3 and G. One of two paired courses in the G.E. Summit Program (Humans in the Information Age). Prerequisites: Upper-division standing, completion of lower-division general education, BIOL 4350, and consent of Summit Program Coordinator.
