Analysis of factors inherent in the persuasive process, examination and application of these factors in presentations. Hours are arranged for student evaluation and practice.

This course aims to train students to think philosophically about our rapidly
changing—and ever more intimate—relationship with machines. We focus in particular on the following subjects: artificial intelligence, robots, cyborgs, automation and science fiction speculation.

A study of the production, description, and classification of speech sounds; English sounds, stress, and intonation; phonemes and allophones, ear training, phonetic and phonemic transcription.

This course introduces students to the nature of human speech and speech sounds. Students explore how different sounds are produced (phonetics), how they pattern (phonology), and how speech production can vary across individuals. Students learn to represent the speech sounds of English with phonetic transcription, including transcribing clinically relevant variation in speech production and speech patterns in major varieties of American English.

Emphasis is on the creation of a body of prints dealing with one subject or theme. Aesthetic decisions made by the individual in choice of subject matter & technique are considered. Lectures, technical demonstrations, & individual critiques are included. Readings on individual photographers, aesthetics, & darkroom techniques are assigned. Critiques by visiting photographers/artists are held.

This course examines the role and history of photography within the historical landscape of media and communication. Special emphasis on the accumulative meaning of visual archives, tracing how images reconfigure and establish cultural territories across a variety of texts and media. Investigates and contrasts the mimetic visual strategies within western and nonwestern traditions, looking at historical and contemporary images in a variety of forms.

Introduction to the use of photography as a medium of documentation and expression. Assignments and critiques enhance the development of individual work while developing photographic skills and techniques. Students provide their own cameras. Enlargers and photographic chemicals are provided in class.

The course is focused on photography as an art and photography as a means of communication. It includes aspects of history and the theory of photography and practical photographic education of classic analog/wet darkroom process — i.e. black and white photographic image making and printing. The goal is to develop a new way of seeing through the viewfinder of the camera and to hone critical thinking about photography. This course aims to teach students to experience the photographic works of art and reflect on that experience. Importance is laid on students’ understanding of the photographic image as a means of expressing an individual artistic attitude towards the world.

Assignments, critiques & demonstrations for the more advanced photography student. Further exploration of the use of photography as a medium of documentation & expression. Assignments & critiques enhance the development of individual work while developing photographic skills & techniques. Students provide their own camera & paper. Enlargers & photographic chemicals are provided in class.

This course allows students who have successfully completed at least one course in photography to use the Steinhardt darkroom. It is a co-requisite for all students who wish to register for independent study projects which require the use of the Steinhardt Photography Lab.

Student to establish a safe and effective physical therapy plan of care; establish goals and functional outcomes that specify expected time duration; define achievable patient or client outcomes within available resources; monitor and adjust the plan of care in response to patient or client status; provide direct physical intervention to achieve patient or client outcomes based on the examination and on the impairment, functional limitations, and disability; promote optimal health by providing information on wellness, impairment, disease, disability and health risks related to age, gender, culture and lifestyle; provide primary, secondary or tertiary care to p[patients in collaboration with other practitioners in settings supportive of comprehensive and complex services based on patient's or client's goals and expected functional outcomes and on knowledge of one's own and other's capabilities.

The course will enable the student to: independently examine and reexamine a patient or client with a cardiopulmonary problem by obtaining a pertinent history from the patient or client and from other relevant sources, by performing relevant systems review, and by selecting appropriate age related tests and measure; synthesize examination data to complete the physical therapy evaluation; engage in the diagnostic process in an efficient and cost-effective manner consistent with the policies and procedures of the practice setting; engage in the diagnostic process to establish differential diagnosis for patients across the life span; and determine patient or client prognoses based on evaluation of results of examinations and medical and psychosocial information.
