Dunlap,Kent D.
Bonneau,Laurie J.		 MWF: 11:00AM-11:50AM TBA NAT  
  Enrollment limited to 36
  This course explores the biology of animals (including humans) from standpoints of anatomy, physiology, and evolution. We shall consider basics of cell biology, genetics, development, and structure and function of the major organ systems (e.g., digestive, respiratory, excretory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems). Evolutionary processes that have yielded animal diversity will also be explored. Laboratory activities include anatomical dissection, as well as explorations of microscopy, physiology, behavior, population genetics, and molecular biology. Not creditable to the biology major.

  Some of the most influential pronouncements in psychology have been at least partly based on the study of people deemed to be abnormal or extreme in some way (e.g., “split-brain” patients). This course will provide a critical introduction to different models—medical, psychoanalytical, and others—of psychopathology (psychoses, personality disorders, etc.) We will review personal accounts of experiences deemed to be psychopathological and look at a variety of unusual experiences (e.g., déjà vu, depersonalization) frequently reported by “ordinary” people.

  Enrollment limited to 20
  Not open to first-year students.
  NOTE: Course not open to first-year students.
  This course will examine various theoretical models of male and female development from a psychological perspective. By carefully evaluating the empirical research we will explore the myths of gender to understand how women and men are the same and how they are different. Studies of gender, however, must be understood in relationship to the implicit assumptions that researchers make about human nature. Therefore, we will systematically evaluate the role of conceptual and methodological bias in scientific investigations. The course will include an analysis of some non-traditional methods that have served to challenge our thinking about gender differences and sex roles. In order to gain a broader perspective on issues of gender, we will also examine work traditionally found in other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, and biology.
7115 PSYC-340-01 Social Cognition 1.00 SEM Boudreau,Louis A. MW: 6:30PM- 7:45PM TBA Y SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 20
  Prerequisite: Psychology 226, Psychology 255 or Psychology 256.
  This advanced course will examine how we make sense of ourselves, of other people, and of our social world, in general. This course will apply the theories used in a variety of areas of cognitive psychology (e.g. attention, memory and decision making) to questions and issues typically examined in social psychology. These questions include: How do we form impressions of others? Why are we attracted to certain people but not others? What kinds of information about people are important to us, and why? How do we explain our behavior; and how do we explain others’ behavior? How do we organize all of this information about individuals and groups into something understandable? How do we form attitudes and stereotypes? Do our moods affect how we behave? Class meetings will include lecture, discussion, debate, and exercises.
6980 PSYC-392-01 Human Neuropsychology 1.00 LEC Raskin,Sarah A. TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA Y NAT  
  Enrollment limited to 20
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 255 or Psychology 256 or Psychology 261 or Neuroscience 201.
  The course will begin with a cursory review of basic neuroanatomy, brain organization and topography, and neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter conductive systems. Next, an in-depth examination of physiological and neurological manifestations of cognitive and psychopathological disorders as well as behavioral correlates of neuropathological and pathophysiological disturbances will follow. Finally, a survey of current diagnostic procedures and treatment approaches will be presented. All course material augmented with, and accentuated by, illustrative clinical case material. Students should anticipate that special scheduling arrangements will be required for activities outside of regular class sessions.
6982 PSYC-395-01 Cognitive & Social Dev 1.00 LEC Averna,Susan WF: 2:40PM- 3:55PM TBA Y SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 20
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Psychology 295.
  This course will explore cognitive and social development within a general developmental framework. It will elaborate and critically evaluate Piaget’s theory of cognition development and examine how research in areas such as memory, perception, intelligence testing, education, language, morality, social cognition, and sex-role development can be related to Piaget’s work.
5927 PSYC-399-01 Independent Study 0.50 - 1.00 IND TBA TBA TBA Y

7099 PSYC-402-01 Sr Sem:Risk and Resilience 1.00 SEM Anselmi,Dina L. T: 1:30PM- 4:10PM TBA Y SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 15
  This course open only to senior psychology majors.
  NOTE: Permission of Instructor is required and can be obtained through the departmental administrative assistants.
  In recent years, psychologists have begun to recognize that negative life experiences such as poverty, parental divorce, and child abuse may not inevitably result in negative developmental outcomes for children. Children can survive and thrive, despite great deprivation. The concepts of risk and resilience provide important models for examining the process by which individuals come to positive developmental adaptations despite the presence of negative, stressful life events. This seminar will focus on the various models that have been proposed to understand the concepts of risk and resilience and the role that both biological and sociocultural factors play in each model. We will examine intervention strategies that have been developed to combat a variety of risk factors. Students should anticipate that special scheduling arrangements will be required for activities outside of regular class sessions.
