Community Engaged Learning

Trade, migration, and widespread travel have transformed population health from a domestic to an international issue, one in which state cooperation is increasingly necessary. Investigating the role of international organizations, the media, advocacy groups, and individuals, this course questions how international cooperation can facilitate the promotion and protection of health. To do so, it considers a variety of theoretical approaches including the securitization of health and health as a human right. It also examines such issues as smallpox eradication, tobacco control, AIDS treatment, and bioterrorism agreements.
Students in this course participate in the legal representation of immigrants seeking benefits from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and complete readings and written assignments providing related academic content and context. Through direct case work and class seminars, students are prepared to think critically about the immigration system’s structures and procedures and the immigration attorney’s relationship to the system; they gain substantive knowledge of immigration laws and policies; and they develop basic lawyering skills.
An introductory course focusing on a topic or issue in psychology, designed for students who do not plan to pursue psychology as a major/minor. This course may be repeated for credit when the topic differs.
An examination of the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development of infants and children, with a primary emphasis on theoretical issues and scientific methodology. Development is presented as a process of progressive interaction between the active, growing individual and his or her constantly changing and multifaceted environment. Organized chronologically with an approximately equal emphasis on the prenatal through middle childhood periods of development. Includes a laboratory that focuses on designing and conducting studies (including data analyses) to answer empirical questions on human development.
Students will study different forms of community engaged theater and their impacts,including grassroots theater, devised theater, theater for social change, and others. Students will apply these methodologies as they work with a Community Partner throughout the semester to create a performance. The semester-long collaboration and resulting performance will center topics of importance to the Community Partner and their mission. Through interviews, story circles, improvisational theater tools, and other techniques, students will create performances with and for the Community Partner. Although a theater class, all students interested in community dialogue are invited to join this highly collaborative course.

Computer Science

An introduction to creative modeling of both natural and virtual worlds, in which students gain understanding of human interaction with computing devices as well as the expertise needed for further course work in computer science. Lab experiences using the explicit notation of a programming language reinforce the application of abstractions while affording practice in algorithmic problem solving and relevant theory.

This course provides students with a working knowledge of the power and potential of modern networked databases as well as of common uses and abuses. Students receive hands-on experience with open source development tools, which are widely used for building and placing databases on the web. Database development is explored, from conceptual elaboration through design and implementation, and interview techniques for effective database design are considered. Programming techniques are introduced for building, maintaining, accessing, interacting, and protecting the information in large data depositories. Discussions include consideration of concerns driving policy decisions for amassing and managing sensitive, and sometimes dangerous, information collections.
The design, implementation, and application of data structures and their algorithms, including stacks, queues, linked structures, trees and graphs. Other topics include elementary searching and sorting algorithms, pattern matching, and runtime performance analysis.
Introduction to interactive computer graphics including 2D and 3D viewing, clipping, hidden line/surface removal, shading, interaction handling, geometrical transformations, projections, and hierarchical data structures. Brief introductions to related and dependent fields of physically-based modeling and scientific visualization will be included.
Process management, memory management, processor scheduling, file systems, concurrent programming, distributed processing, security.

Creative Writing

Discussions will center on students' fiction. Selected readings are assigned to focus on technical problems of craftsmanship and style.

Craft-based instruction in specific formal issues in the tradition of poetry. Students will read poems through the lens of technique and craft, studying how writers utilize certain forms. The class will also focus on the generation of creative work, adhering to the forms discussed in class.
Craft-based instruction in specific formal issues in the tradition of drama. Students will read plays through the lens of technique and craft, studying how writers utilize certain forms. The class will also focus on the generation of creative work, adhering to the forms discussed in class.
In the intermediate workshop, students expand their skills writing, reading, and critiquing poems, as well as share their writing with peers in a workshop setting. The course builds upon the basics of craft learned in the Beginning Poetry Workshop and explores more complex ways of utilizing that craft. Students read a diverse range of published poems, but the primary focus is the creation and critique of their own work and the work of their peers.
