This is a course in the intermediate and advanced foundations of statistical inference in the context of applied research. Assuming some prior exposure to probability and statistics, this course will cover topics such as the principles of estimation and hypothesis testing, as well as general and generalized linear models, under the Bayesian paradigm. The Bayesian method is developed in depth. The student will be expected to understand the mathematical theory, implement related statistical algorithms in statistical programming language such as R, and interpret models and parameters in the context of applied statistical analysis of real data.

This course is designed to prepare digital-era students in all fields of study for professional achievement in a technologically sophisticated, global, networked environment. The course is structured around three central elements of “digital literacy” -- 1) human perception and cognition, 2) computers and electronic intelligence, and 2) the network architecture of the digital web. It is a rigorous intellectual introduction to the fundamental principles on which these technologies are based. There are no perquisites and those from the technologically challenged to the techno-geeks are welcome. Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of human attention, how sound waves, light waves and electromagnetic waves work and what computers and routers do. . This is a “flipped course” – what would normally be in-class lectures and demonstrations are available online as curricular modules and can be viewed at students’ convenience (and reviewed as appropriate) much like traditional reading assignments. In-person class sections are used for dialog, discussion and Q and A with the instructor.

This course explores the civil rights movement roots of Berkeley’s historic student
revolt, the reasons for the Free Speech Movement’s success in attracting student support and changing campus policy, its impact on the history of free speech, and on the rise of both the New Left and the Reaganite Right. This course ends with reflections on the state of free speech on campus in our own century when that freedom is often slighted, dismissed or weaponized by student groups on the left and right and the corporate groups that subsidize them, leaving us with
the question of whether the Free Speech Movement is still relevant to the campus scene today.

Students meet each week by advance appointment with faculty, visiting artists, and critics for individual critique and in-depth discussion of their work and the visual, technical, and theoretical issues that inform their practice.

Theory, policy, and practice of bilingual education. Key topics include models and programs of bilingual education; policy and politics of language minority education in the US and internationally; psycholinguist perspectives on bilingualism, including language development; cultural, social, and political perspectives on language minority education; and evaluation of bilingual education programs. Emphasis on pedagogical implications of the above, with attention to native language development, second language/literacy teaching for developmentally and linguistically diverse students.

This course explores theory, policy, and practice at the intersection of bilingualism and exceptionality.
