English Language Development In The Content Classroom

This course is designed to engage class participants in the study of learning and teaching of ESL students in the PreK-12 content classroom. The course is structured around two foundational knowledge bases for the field of ESL teaching: 1) the role of language and culture in school curriculum and classroom learning; 2) the challenges that content classes -math, science, and humanities- pose for English learners. The goal of the course is to prepare content teachers to effectively teach English learners both language and subject matter.

Managing Your Artistic Career

Artistic careers are exciting, dynamic and meaningful. Yet artists still require the skills and knowledge of business and industry in order to build a successful career. This course will walk you through the steps of setting your goals and the objectives that will guide you in building your career. Using the hybrid format, the course will include presentations of arts administration principles and practices as well as in-person sections tailored to students in Music, Theatre and Dance, and the Visual Arts.

Statistics In Anthropology

Students learn how to use probability and quantitative data to test hypotheses in anthropology. Due to common characteristics of anthropological data sets, this class emphasizes methods appropriate for handling small sample sizes and nominal and ordinal scale variables. The course also covers descriptive statistics, sampling, spatial analysis, confidence intervals, and the creation of charts and tables. Since the class focuses more on core concepts than mechanical computation, lessons learned in the context of anthropological questions can be applied to everyday decisions.

Life Cycle And Community Nutrition II

A study of the physiological changes occurring in the life cycle with associated nutrient needs. The course focuses on assessment and determination of nutrition issues and nutrition education for individuals from childhood to old age. Nutrition education programs on a community level will be addressed at each stage of the life cycle. Program planning, evaluation and grant writing will also be covered and applied in this course.

Careers In History

You dread the questions from your parents and others: A history major? What are you going to do with that? This course enables students to articulate a response, going beyond law and teaching to consider all the possibilities a history degree offers. We will strategize about how to best position yourself to make your dreams reality, emphasizing the importance of networking, study abroad, internships, and other experiences outside the classroom. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to sell their skills to future employers in a variety of settings.
