Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior and mental associations due to experience. Numerous principles and theories about learning have been proposed in order to better understand why animals, including humans, behave the way they do. Research in learning has resulted in the development of behavioral techniques that are useful in many allied fields including behavioral neuroscience, psychopharmacology and behavioral medicine. Cognition, on the other hand, is the study of mental operations that support acquisition and use of knowledge. The study of learning and cognition is an integral sub discipline within the field of anthrozoology. This course serves as an introduction to the multifaceted processes involved in learning at all levels of complexity. Students will learn fundamental information required for canine training classes and information that will prove useful for all animal training.

Learning a foreign language is first and foremost an opening onto the world, or an entryway to a new universe that is at once linguistic, cultural, sociological, literary, etc. By delving deeper into oral comprehension and written French (pulled from multiple sources), students will be able to discover different realities and different points of view. Learning a foreign language is also a tool that allows one to build metaphorical bridges to reach the "Other." Active listening, engaged speaking, and a capacity to clearly express oneself through writing make connections with people from other cultures and language backgrounds possible. Moreover, it is clear that, in today's world, a mastery of several languages is an incalculable advantage on the job market. Based on these premises, this course aims to develop a mastery of diverse components of the French language by means of an action-oriented approach. Following the methods of this pedagogical approach, this course is focused on different projects that reflect concrete learning situations that help students develop French language skills (reading, speaking, listening, and writing). Because the student will be in Morocco while taking the course, the projects will be grounded in a Moroccan context. This will enable them to enrich their understanding of the country, have otherwise unlikely encounters, and practice French in different interactions. The grammar topics will be based on perceived gaps in students' knowledge and will be pursued in collaboration with the professor and students throughout the course.

Advanced Grammar and Composition. This course is designed to strengthen students' comprehension and application of the most challenging grammatical structures for second language learners within a meaningful written language context.

Students will learn to write creatively as well as in both expository and argumentative formats. The course will be conducted in French.

This program consists of three levels of proficiency: FR 150 for students with no prior knowledge or experience with French, FR 250 for students who have successfully completed FR 102 or have the equivalent knowledge or experience with French, and FR 350 for students who have successfully completed FR 204 or have the equivalent knowledge or experience with French. The program offers the student the opportunity to become immersed in the French language while experiencing the cultural and societal conditions of the country where the program takes place. The methods used in this program are intended to foster the acquisition of French both in and out of the classroom. The acquisition will take place through students' and teachers' active interaction with the language and daily life in the host country. Students will read, write, and speak French on a daily basis and will be required to analyze social, political, and cultural aspects of their surroundings. Through this process, students also will have the opportunity to develop new perspectives with regard to peoples of other cultures and a point of comparison upon which to base questions of human existence.

Course readings will include a range of literary, cultural, and theoretical texts; class discussions and lectures will focus on understandings of feminisms (First, Second, and Third Waves, as well as forms of proto-feminism before the Revolution) and of the female condition in France. This class is taught in French.

This takes as its point of departure a number of myths and symbols that are woven into the fabric of the French national identity. These historical personalities and events-from Charlemagne to Joan of Arc to the Wars of Religion-help members of the French nation define what it means to be French. But they are also interpretations of historical events and movements rather than reproductions of them. Using a comparative framework, we look at how certain history is put to use in the construction and upkeep of national consciousness. Class time will consist of presentations and discussions led by the professor and students. Coursework will include analysis of model texts, short writing exercises, formal oral presentations, multiple draft compositions, and a final project based on analysis of a chosen theme. In-class instruction and discussion are in French only. Satisfies Core Social Science requirement.

While feminism, masculinity, and gender as fields of study within the discipline of history are relative newcomers, complex and varied interactions among people have existed since our first human ancestors. Beginning with a short introduction to the science of sex and gender we consider the possibility that while there may be two chromosomal sexes, constructs of gender are more complex and nuanced.

Brian Boru, St. Patrick, Gerry Adams, Ian Paisley, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and the Irish Republic Army are all part of the history of this tiny island, some inhabitants descendants of the first arrivals to this land over 9,000 years ago, others immigrants from England centuries later. By 600, those living in Ireland had developed a unique Christian culture alongside of the traditional one of their ancestors. In the seventeenth century English settlers arrived, and despite the passage of time, retained their identity, as well as their Protestant faith. By the end of the first half of the 20th century, both British and Irish lived on an island divided by politics, economics, and religion. In the south rose the independent Republic of Ireland, while the north continued to be a part of Britain. In all, this volatile region of competing identities continues to fascinate and remains, in the words of WB Yeats, "a terrible beauty..."

Interwar Europe: From Versailles to Hitler A wide ranging study of Europe between World War I and World War II, 1919-1939. Special emphasis is placed upon political, intellectual, social cultural, economic and military developments during a critical phase of modern European history.

The Civil War was the gravest crisis the United States has ever faced and remains to this day the deadliest war in American history, having taken over 600,000 American lives.

Exploring Moroccan History, Culture & Society. Morocco has a very long history and a diverse culture. Its identity has been shaped by so many peoples and civilisations which, beside the native Berbers, date back to the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, Greeks, and the Byzantines. The Arabo-Islamic civilisation in the 8th C.was later challenged and enriched by the indelible marks of European conquest and presence. Like the sweeping majority of world countries and as early as the seventies, Morocco has ridden the tide of globalisation leaving no doubt as to its liberal economic outlook, while making sure to preserve its "authenticity" as a Muslim, Arab-Amazigh country. The result is a hybrid culture that affects nearly every aspect of Moroccan identity and way of life. This melting pot is now visible everywhere. It is not surprising to see in the same area a donkey drawn cart "driving" by fancy glass high buildings. Since the death of Hassan II in 1999, Morocco has been transformed quite substantially; and this is evidenced at different levels, politically, socially, and culturally. This class explores the dynamics of Morocco today as expressed in literature, arts, media, politics, etc.
