Intended for students with little to no art background. Focus is on the accurate rendering of scientific subjects for publication and for public display. Course begins with basic drawing skills and sharpening of visual perception. Students progress to be able to produce realistic renderings of subjects. Students are exposed to a variety of black and white and color techniques and the standards for presenting illustrations for a variety of audiences. Course concludes with computer illustration tools and techniques.
Study of live performance forms, theory, and literature throughout Asia: performance history, production styles, and social functions of performance. Background in theatre, dance, or Asian studies recommended.
Investigates music in relation to dance performance, choreography, and teaching. Topics may include: a survey of musical styles and composers; direct experimentation with composition and recording techniques; enhancement of rhythmic versatility; work with accompanist/composers; and/or improvement of analytical listening and writing skills. Requisites: Restricted to Dance (DNCE) graduate students only.
Advanced study of theory and practice of stage directing through examination of the work of leading directors, analysis of texts, and classroom exercises. Department enforced restriction: previous directing course work and/or directing experience or instructor consent required.
Algae are a non-monophyletic group of organisms that play critical roles in ecosystem structure and function. They have a long history of being used in a variety of ways by the human species, but are increasingly being applied to modern issues of understanding water quality and climate change, engineering at the nano scale and in the production of renewable biofuels. Same as EBIO 4080. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Introduces advanced groundwater flow and modeling concepts, equations for steady state and transient flow, saturated and unsaturated flow, finite difference method, application of modeling in geologic processes, radial flow and aquifer parameters, infiltration and groundwater recharge, model calibration, verification, and prediction. Department enforced prereq., MATH 2300 or Fortran.
Provides an in-depth survey of the neural mechanisms of learning, motivated behavior and decision making. Analysis will focus on the interaction of neural circuits underlying these processes with particular attention to the cellular, molecular and information-processing aspects of identified pathways and considered into the context learning-based and neuroeconomic models of choice. Same as NRSC 4082. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
In addition to attending and meeting all the requirements for the lecture portion of the course (NRSC 4092), graduate students meet for an additional hour each week with the instructor to discuss in depth behavioral neuroendocrinology relevant research articles. Same as NRSC 4092. Formerly PSYC 5092. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
