2.00 Credits
The final course in the TESL Certificate Program is a practical experience in teaching English as a second language. With the guidance of the coordinator/instructor, each student will find placement in an ESL class. Students must complete 90 hours of service with emphasis on actual classroom teaching, but the same time commitment also includes lesson preparation, meetings, and grading of papers. Students will be observed by the instructor (once or twice during the semester). There will also be three seminar-meeting times to be arranged.
-
1.00 Credits
Practical experience entailing 50-60 hours for the semester in teaching English as a second language or in the development of ESL materials. Prerequisite or corequisite: LING 441 or 442. To be taken one time only.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students interested in special studies in linguistics must complete a special studies application by the end of the first week of the semester. Prerequisite: graduate standing and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the mathematics of many indigenous cultures, especially those of North and South America, Africa, and Oceania. It will examine the use of mathematics in commerce, land measure and surveying, games, kinship, measurement of time, navigation, data storage, and other topics. The mathematics involved includes number bases, probability, geometry, number theory, lattice theory, and many other topics of interest in modern mathematics. This class is recommended for liberal arts students who are interested in studying other cultures. Satisfies GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
A class designed to explore the beauty and relevance of mathematics. Topics may include puzzles, paradoxes, and logic; axiomatic systems; biographies; infinity of the counting numbers and higher infinities; historical crises and breakthroughs in mathematics; and uncertainty. This class is recommended for liberal arts students. Satisfies GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will explore mathematical achievements in the theory of politics. Topics may include: escalation, conflict, yes/no voting, political power, and social choice. This course has an enormous cultural content, while at the same time dealing with important mathematical ideas. This class is especially suitable for social science students. Satisfies GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
Covers a brief review of college algebra; functional notation, composition and decomposition of functions, inverse functions; behavior of families of functions such as polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic; trigonometric functions, equations, and identities; some mathematical modeling. Emphasis on problem solving. Satisfies the GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement. CAN MATH 16.
-
2.00 Credits
A workshop designed to be taken with MATH 107. Exploration of precalculus concepts through problem solving in a group setting. Cr/NC only. Corequisite: MATH 107.
-
3.00 Credits
Exploration of the mathematical theory of symmetry in the plane and in space. The theory uses the idea that the set of rigid motions comprises an algebraic structure called a group, and that composing rigid motions corresponds to performing an algebraic operation. The course emphasizes how the mathematical theory aids in understanding the causes and consequences of symmetry in natural and manufactured objects. A central theme is the contribution of mathematics to other fields, such as architecture and the decorative arts; engineering of mechanical devices; music and dance; evolution and anatomy; crystallography; chemical bonding and atomic structure; philosophy; and mathematical proofs. Satisfies GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement. High school geometry is highly recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
A GE course designed to give students an understanding of finite mathematics applied in the modern world to social sciences, economic analysis, statistical analysis, and decision-making. Topics include linear models, linear programming, financial mathematics, sets, combinatorics, probability, and statistics. Recommended for students with interests in the social sciences and management. Satisfies GE requirement for mathematics, category B4. Prerequisite: satisfaction of ELM requirement.
