In this advanced seminar, students work through the history of archaeological theory and engage with contemporary theoretical approaches to the discipline.
This course introduces students to the basic methods and approaches that are central to archaeological research. As a first year course, the class is also designed to introduce students to university culture and to help students begin to ask questions like: "how do we know what we know?".

We frequently have spaces for independent study students to work in the lab. Independent studies are a great way to get real, hands-on experience in the lab. We offer opportunities to learn dissection techniques, histology, immunohistochemistry, image analysis and access to the newest technology in digital slide scanning and microscopy. Individual research projects will be tailored according to the student's schedule, interests and active research being conducted in the lab. Read more about NEUR 2990/3990/4990 Independent Studies
This course aims to provide you with a basic understanding of how the vertebrate brain is organized. The course begins with an overview of the basic organization of the vertebrate brain, associated vasculature and the peripheral nervous system. The anatomy of several major brain regions will then be examined in further detail followed by the functional organization of the sensory systems. Although the focus will be on the anatomy of the mammalian brain, comparisons will also be drawn with other vertebrates in order to provide a deeper understanding of the anatomy of the brain.
