This lecture and laboratory course utilizes electrical recordings from a variety of invertebrates to build upon topics discussed in NEUR 208, illustrating the principles of nervous system communication in sensory and motor systems. The course will also include the roles of hypothesis testing, models, data analysis, and the scientific method in understanding how experimental data can lead to knowledge of nervous system function.
Business
The instructional objective is to provide students with an understanding of the concepts that are fundamental to the use of accounting. Students will focus on the accounting cycle and the preparation of financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and statements of cash flows, as well as on the use of financial ratios. A decision-making approach is employed which involves critical evaluation and analysis of information presented. Analytical tools are integrated throughout the course
This course introduces students to the business of marketing both conceptually and as a profession. Study and activities include understanding the strategic marketing process, planning and research, launching new products, distribution, promotion and pricing. While studying and examining contemporary online and offline marketing methods, we will also analyze landmark marketing case studies to understand how key decisions impact outcomes and influence consumer purchasing behavior.
This course examines the functions of management, planning, organizing, leading and controlling with an emphasis on the application of management theories and concepts to achieve organizational goals. Students are introduced to frameworks for understanding organizations to improve their effectiveness as a team member, manager, or leader. Topics include purposes, structure, bureaucracy, decision-making, communication, and power and control in organizations.
An examination of the challenges and limitations of financial reporting and a dissection of the complex issues surrounding assets, liabilities, and equities.The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the tools necessary to prepare, understand, and critically analyze financial statements. The course is designed to prepare students for advanced study and various professional business examinations.
This course provides students with an understanding of various economic policies and principles underlying the Federal income tax and the tax and jurisprudential theories underpinning that body of law. Those policies and theoretical underpinnings are demonstrated and evidenced through a survey of various Internal Revenue Code provisions, Treasury regulations, and court decisions dealing with the Federal income tax as applied both to individuals and to businesses, both domestic and international.
This course examines business trends and business structures in emerging markets located in the region of focus. The course initially focuses on the country context, the foundational elements of political, social, and economic history, by drawing on readings from key economic development texts to set the stage for business context in the selected emerging market countries to be visited. This course discusses the evolution of conglomerate enterprises and business networks. It introduces students to examples of corporate organization and management of these enterprises, and elaborates how these structures impact the success of companies from the region of study. The course will examine the policies and case examples of new start-up business development and entrepreneurship, and how economies in the region are adapting structures to shape an innovation economy. The course will also explore business practices in the countries of study, providing students with an understanding of business culture, protocol, and business customs.
A selection of topics are explored depending on interest. This course may be repeated once for credit when the topic differs.
Chemistry
Concepts explored include conceptual and quantitative treatments of intermolecular forces, physical properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Primarily designed for students with interest in the physical and life sciences. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. The associated laboratory illustrates the lecture topics, emphasizes quantitative measurements, and develops analytical techniques. Not open to students who have received credit for CHEM 120, 150, or 151.
