This course is an advanced treatment of two related concepts that are vital to the success of an enterprise; quality and productivity. As a key ingredient of competitive strategy, quality encompasses many attributes of a product or service - such as its design, its features, fit and finish, durability, safety, and customer treatment. In highly competitive settings, a firm that achieves and sustains high quality levels for its goods and/or services, while remaining at least as efficient as competitors in processes used to produce these outputs, tends to outperform its competitors.

This course will cover the general features of the anatomy of the human body and the general aspects of physiology. Early in the semester emphasis will be on physiology in the latter part, with form and function related throughout. Information is presented at the college freshman level.

This course introduces students to major topics in behavioral ecology and comparative neurobiology with an emphasis on inter-relationships between these fields. Topics to be covered vary each semester, but typically include: the optimality approach to understanding behavior, predator-prey behavior, mating and social behavior, behavioral genetics, neural circuits and behavior, sensory biology, neural development, and neural plasticity.

This course provides students with instruction and experience in the experimental research techniques employed in the study of behavioral ecology and comparative neurobiology with emphasis on the integration of these approaches for understanding animal behavior.
