This course provides a foundation in the specialized area of medical speech language pathology with focus on communication and swallowing management of infants and children. Infant feeding/swallowing, pediatric swallow studies, tracheostomy, and management of specialized populations will be highlighted. Students develop a fundamental knowledge of the pediatric oropharyngeal swallow mechanism, the aerodigestive tract, tracheostomy, speaking valves, mechanical ventilation, and the importance of team assessment and management.

The objective of this course is to develop a broad understanding of the process by which typically developing children acquire speech skills. Theoretical aspects of speech development will be reviewed & the complexities of normal human communication will be focused upon. This content will lay the foundation for discussing etiologies & characteristics of speech sound disorders that arise across the lifespan. Basic principles of assessment & intervention & the role of the speech language pathologist will be covered.

To make informed decisions about diagnosis and intervention, clinicians must start from a thorough understanding of all aspects of the speech chain: sound production, transmission, and perception by the listener. Students gain knowledge of physiological, aerodynamic, and acoustic properties of typical and clinical speech throughout the lifespan. This course prepares students to use instrumental techniques in the clinical setting to measure and/or treat aspects of articulation, resonance, phonation, and perception.

This course focuses on typical and atypical speech development in children, with an emphasis on the use of evidence-based practice for the assessment and treatment of children with various speech sound disorders.

This class focuses on the biochemical and clinical factors related to energy, nutrient, and fluid requirements of athletes and physically active individuals across diverse populations. Students apply and evaluate sports nutrition concepts to special conditions affecting athletic performance and discuss techniques for counseling athletes.

Comprehensive, practical course in the various technical aspects of theatrical production. Fall term explores the planning, construction, and painting of scenery and the architecture of the stage. Spring term deals with stage electrics, lighting, crafts, sound technology, and special effects. Three additional hours of laboratory a week.

This course is an introduction to the analysis and modeling of network data. Network analysis is a key tool in understanding relational data - data describing the relationships between pairs and groups of individuals, as well as the global structure of relationships. We will focus on applications to and building tools for research in the social sciences, but the methodology can be extended to other areas. By the end of the course, you should have a working knowledge of basic network analysis tools and be able to use them to analyze your own data.

This course is designed to synthesize the benefits and drawbacks of a variety of statistical choices and concepts and teach how to make complex tradeoffs between the vast array of available techniques. Students leverage their statistical skills to solve real world problems and applications by discussing and applying a variety of statistical methods that are most appropriate for each case study.

An introductory quantitative & statistical reasoning course designed to help students acquire statistical literacy & competency to survive in a data-rich world. The course introduces students to basic concepts in probability, research design, descriptive statistics, & simple predictive models to help them to become more savvy consumers of the information they will routinely be exposed to in their personal, academic & professional lives. Course material will be conveyed through video clips, case studies, puzzle solving, predictive competitions, & group discussions.

Liberal Arts Core/CORE Equivalent - satisfies the requirement for Quantitative Reasoning for some Steinhardt students; students should check with their Academic Advisor for confirmation.

Introduces students to an array of inferential techniques (t-tests, one, and two-way anova, simple and multiple regression, nonparametric methods) using statistical software as a platform to achieve hands-on experience with real data. The course is not appropriate for students seeking to learn the mathematical underpinnings of these techniques.

A content mathematics course in probability and statistics for teachers.

Introduction to the basic tools of applied statistics, using statistical software as a platform to achieve hands-on experience with real data. Topics include both descriptive (measures of location, variability, correlation, and simple regression) and inferential (probability, central limit theorem, sampling distributions, hypothesis tests, and confidence intervals) statistics. The course is not appropriate for students seeking to learn the mathematical underpinnings of these techniques.

This course will examine the ancient art of storytelling as a performance form (developing expressive tools, creativity, physical and vocal skills); as it has appeared throughout history (in mythology, folk tales, legends, fairy tales, fables); and as it can enhance curricular subject areas (math, science, social studies, literature, and history), relate to the New York State Learning Standards for Arts Education and the Standards for English and Language Arts. Oral history projects will also be explored through the telling of personal stories and students will attend and analyze a performance at the Program in Educational Theatre's Storytelling at the Provincetown Theatre.

Students harness the power of storytelling by using data visualizations to bring their
stories to life. Storytelling is both an art and a skill, especially when it comes to data
visualization. This course provides students with the expertise needed to create an engaging, informative, compelling story. Students create a story that is grounded in food studies; learn basic data handling skills, including how to assess data quality, and interpreting basic metrics. Students learn the techniques of visualization design. In a final project, students use their knowledge to produce a data visualization that tells a story of their choice.

An in-depth analysis of how the music industry is developing & implementing market opportunities in the larger context of the entertainment & mass media industries. The industry is examined from a standpoint of what strategies will enable it to maximize current & future opportunities. Topics include corporate strategy, international aspects of the market for music, market research, managing entertainment organizations, synergy & partnerships, & new media strategies.

Introduction to the legal environment as it pertains to profit-making music & to ethical considerations as well as social & political influences. Emphasis on copyright law & contract law as they affect the economics of the music industry.
