Topics will vary. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours. Requisites: Restricted to English Literature-Creative Writing (CRWR) or English (ENGL) graduate students only.
Explores the application of quantum physics and statistical mechanics to problems in astrophysics, space physics and planetary science, with an emphasis on radiative processes and spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Covers various topics in the social sciences and humanities in environmental studies. Requisites: Restricted to Arts and Sciences, Journalism, Law or Business Graduate Students only.
Different topics are offered and, in a number of cases, cross-listed with other departments. May be repeated up to 6 total credit hours on different topics. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Introduces fundamental physical processes important to the transport of heat and mass in the Earth and on Earth's surface. Provides practice with quantitative treatment of geological problems. Solutions for each problem are derived from first principles, including conservation and flux laws. Emphasizes heat conduction and viscous fluid flow. Department enforced requisite, restricted to graduate students only. Department enforced prereq., a course in calculus.
Provides an intensive interdisciplinary introduction to the principles of neuroscience. It is a sequel to NRSC 5100. Provides a detailed overview of neurochemistry, neurodevelopment, neuromotor control, neurogenetics, and cognitive neuroscience. Open to undergraduates with instructor permission. Requisites: Requires a prerequisite course of NRSC 5100 or NRSC 4052 or PSYC 4052 (minimum grade C-).
Reviews models and theoretical perspectives regarding communication disorders with application to the clinical processes of assessment, intervention, counseling, and efficacy of intervention. Focuses on issues, challenges, and skills related to working with consumers of speech-language pathology and audiology services and their families, cultural competence, legal and ethical practices, teaming, and collaborative service delivery. Requisites: Restricted to Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) or Audiology (AUDD) graduate students only.
Introduces statistical analysis in the social sciences. Introduces basic techniques of inferentialstatistics and several bivariate statistical techniques including t-test for the difference in means, chi-square independence, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and simple regression (OLS). This course prepares students for the required course on multivariate regression techniques (Data 2). Requisites: Restricted to Sociology (SOCY) graduate students only.
Examines selected topics in greater detail than is possible in the comprehensive undergraduate course in behavioral genetics (PSYC 3102). Topics covered may include inheritance of behavioral characteristics from perspectives of pharmacogenetics, transmission genetics, biochemical genetics, and evolutionary genetics.
