POLS 305-01: Amer Const Law:Civil Liberty (Spring 2023 Lochner)

This course focuses on the law relating to civil liberties—specifically the areas of criminal defendants’ rights and freedom of expression. It is centered around two questions: first, how, and to what extent, should we as a society protect the rights of the criminally accused; second, what are the normative justifications for freedom of expression, and what, if any, restraints should be placed upon this right? We use the case law method. I also employ both the Socratic Method and “cold calling” as described below. This course is not a prerequisite for law school. However, because this course covers some of the material as would a law school course, and because I use pedagogical methods similar to law professors, this course should provide you with some familiarity as to what law school courses are like.

The goal of this course is to introduce a diverse field that is often referred to as “neuroscience”, but has been known by many different names since its birth in the late 1800s. We will survey physiological processes related to behavior and cognition in human and nonhuman species, as well as other biological mechanisms that are relevant to issues in psychology. Topics include basic functional neuroanatomy, neuronal structure and function, & the relationship between brain systems, psychosocial variables, and complex cognitive, perceptual, and emotional processes. We will also discuss neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric differences. In addition to serving as a general survey of some of the biological aspects of psychology, this course prepares students for more advanced neuroscience offerings (e.g. Psy 350, Psy 355, Psy 380, Psy 410).

PSY 280-F1: Brain and Behavior (Fall 2020 Watson)

The goal of this course is to introduce students to a diverse field that is generally called “neuroscience”, but has been known by many different names since its modern birth in the late 1800s. We will survey some of the physiological processes that are related to the control of behavior in human and nonhuman species, as well as other biological mechanisms that are relevant to issues in psychology. Specific topics include basic functional neuroanatomy, the structure and function of neurons and neuronal transmission, and the relationship between brain systems and complex behaviors, cognition, and emotions. We will also discuss neurological, neuropsychological, and psychiatric disorders. In addition to serving as a general survey of the biological aspects of psychology, this course will help prepare students for more advanced neuroscience courses (Psy 350, Psy 355, Psy 380, Psy 410).

Students who have received credit for PSY/BIO 252, should not enroll in this course. Not open to students with previous credit in PSY 350 or PSY, 355.
