"Comparative Revolutions"
This course examines the origins and outcomes of modern revolutions in France, Mexico, Russia and China. The course compares and contrasts revolutions in order to gain insight into the role of ideology, charismatic leaders, purges and counter-revolutionary movements. Additionally, these five cases are then compared to more recent revolutionary or near-revolutionary events in Cuba, Southeast Asia, Iran, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Venezuela. The course includes readings, assignments and discussions. Small groups of students also deconstruct propaganda posters from revolutionary Russia and China, analyzing how these regimes attempted to depict industrialization, agriculture, gender, national ethnic groups and the position of their respective revolutions in the world. |

MC383 / SPHE383 - Disabilities in Sport
This course offers a comprehensive and practical look at the past, present and future of disability sport. Topics covered are inclusive of youth through adult participation with in-depth coverage of the essential issues involving athletes with disabilities. Modern challenges and controversies dealing disabilities in sport will be examined along with sport opportunities for athletes with disabilities, coaching and training of athletes with disabilities, sports medicine issues, activity modifications, equipment uses, and event management for both adults and children with disability.
MC388 / SPHE388 - Stress and Health Management
This course examines the direct relationship between psychological stress and the human body. Everyday, approximately ONE MILLION Americans are absent from work due to stress. Some studies have suggested that stress has caused an increase in workplace violence. And yet while many of us have heard of the term "stress", few of us understand what it means. It asks the questions: What is stress and what causes it? Can being overly stressed increase your chances of catching the cold or flu? How can work related stress cause you to become burned out on the job? And how can you reduce the negative affects of stress in your life? Through a series of assignments, case studies and group activities, we will focuses on the mechanisms by which psychological and physical stress can affect your health, the different ways you respond to stress, and the factors contributing to these differences. It serves to enlighten students on the complex interrelations between the body and mind, with a special emphasis on stress reduction techniques. |

Topics include the physical basis for remote sensing, remote sensing systems, digital image processing, data structures, database design, and spatial data analysis. The course is not intended to provide students with extensive training in particular image processing or GIS packages, however, course exercises and the final project will require GIS data analysis and presentation skills.
MC342 / EVSP342 - Population Ecology
This course examines the fundamental laws of population ecology, providing an overview of the underpinnings of population theory. Emphasis is placed on these principles as applied to conservation and management of fish and wildlife populations. Topics include assessing extinction risk of rare species, invasion dynamics of exotic species, demographic and environmental stochasticity, metapopulation dynamics, structured populations, the role of species interactions, interspecific interactions, and micro-evolutionary processes. Use of case studies will demonstrate the application of population ecology models and methods to the management of fish and wildlife populations, and provide the opportunity to apply concepts to current problems and challenges in this field.
MC343 / EVSP341 - Introduction to Wildlife Management
The course explores conceptually the ecological knowledge needed for wildlife conservation, including how species behavior and life history evolves and ultimately how that shapes wildlife populations. Traditional wildlife management topics will be included, along with an added emphasis on ethological implications that affect biological diversity. In addition, human behavior and its impact on wildlife populations and diversity will be studied through case studies, scientific literature, and assigned readings.
MC436 / EVSP421 - Water Resources Management
This course is designed to review the practical application of watershed planning as a tool to manage land, water, and ecosystem resources. Students will explore the public policies and practices of watershed planning by examining case studies in water supply, water quality, drought, floodplain, and stormwater management in the U.S. The watershed management curriculum will utilize a multi-disciplinary approach, involving the fields of geography, environmental science, geology, public policy, urban and regional land planning, geographic information systems (GIS) and engineering.
