This is a semester-long seminar for students in the Honors Program in the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders. The seminar has three main objectives: (a) provide a forum where students engage in a serious intellectual discussion about the process of conducting independent research, (b) provide guidance and structure to students in the process of conducting their independent research projects, and (c) prepare students for presentation of their honors thesis in a professional forum. All honors students must have a research mentor and approved research project prior to registering for the course.

A year-long seminar sequence intended only for students in the honors program in applied psychology. The seminars have three main objectives: (a) to provide a forum where students engage in serious intellectual discussion about the process of research, (b) to provide guidance and structure to students in the process of conducting their independent research studies, and (c) to prepare students for presentation of their senior thesis and oral examination. All honor students must have a research mentor and an approved research project prior to registering for the course.

This course is a how-to manual for students who are interested in fashion, but don’t know how to explore it. It offers a toolbox of theoretical concepts, interdisciplinary scholarship, and historical and contemporary case studies. Students learn to ask questions like: How is taste mapped onto bodies in social space? Who works in fashion, and how is this work classified? How do images and clothes (both new and old) circulate around the globe? What does the science of sustainability look like? And, where is the body in fashion’s new digital imaginaries? Meets Steinhardt Lib Arts Core for Expressive Cultures

Structure and function of the skeletal, muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. The course is given in lecture format and enhanced with models, slides, handouts, and videotapes.

Follows and complements the lecture material presented in the fall semester. Students dissect human cadavers for the purpose of learning the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems.

Introduction to research and theory of human development across the life span. Seminal theories and basic research of individual growth and development are analyzed and critiqued. Emphasis is on the range in human development with discussion of normative and non-normative development. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of understanding the influence of normative and non-normative contexts of development, including the impact of culture, heritage, socioeconomic level, personal health, and safety. Relations between home, school, and community and their impact on development are also explored via readings, lectures, discussions, and weekly observations in the field. Interrogation of implicit folk theories as a foundation for exploration of formal knowledge of human development.

Further analysis of research findings and theories of human development focusing on early through late adolescence and applied across various institutional contexts. Important issues include puberty, cross-gender peer relations, preventing risky behaviors, understanding and mastering test-based graduation requirements, transition to work/college, identity development, depression, and aggression. Developmentally appropriate consideration of abusive and dangerous environments and of alcohol, tobacco, and drug use is also included. Direct application of theory and research is made through field-based inquiry and issue-based investigation.

This course is designed to provide education studies students with an opportunity to gain or enhance their knowledge of different aspects of education by exploring an area of interest under the guidance of a full-time professor. Students may enroll in credit-bearing, paid or unpaid, internship work directly related to their interests in education studies under the guidance of an NYU full-time professor through an independent study. Only students who have successfully completed one full academic year at NYU will be considered eligible to use internship or fieldwork work to satisfy an independent study. The course requires a minimum of 45 hours of academic or fieldwork per point. Points are determined by the student and the professor.
