The method is designed to increase problem-solving and analytical-thinking skills and to guide students toward a coherent and logical approach to understanding the world. Topics include kinematics and dynamics of linear and angular motions, universal gravitation, conservation of energy and momentum, simple harmonic motion, wave motion, and fluids. Six hours per week, integrated lecture/laboratory.
PSY 338: Health Psychology (Instructor Amanda Draheim)
Selected topics relevant to the ways in which the mind, body, and behavior interact in health and disease, including health behaviors and behavior change, coping with illness, self-management approaches to physical illness, the impact of stress and coping on disease and on immune function, and the relationship between psychopathology and physical health. Course involves a community-based learning component. Prerequisite: PSY 105 or PSY 111 (inactive).
CENTER FOR HUMANITIES & INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES:
IAS 101- Creation and Meaning (Instructor: Michael Curry)
