This course consists of a basic introduction to research design and qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis. Through review of research studies, students will learn to be informed consumers of social science research, and to apply their understanding of research to a critical analysis of contemporary social issues. The importance of evidence and bias will be emphasized, with a focus on application to social policy and a broad range of disciplinary practice. Students will be encouraged to seek out research studies of interest to them, and to critically analyze and interpret the ways findings inform their field.
Computers have become very important in forensic crime investigations, as they have in all other walks of life. Computers, and digital storage devices, can become involved in virtually every type of crime. This course teaches the identification, acquisition, preservation and analysis of digital data. Today, the typical PC is only part of an investigation that can include digital cameras, cell phones, iPads, and flash drives. Data recovered from deleted files may make a major contribution to the solution of a criminal investigation.
This course introduces students to the study of human-environment interactions from an anthropological perspective. The course begins with defining the ecosystem and how humans and the actions of humans are part of that ecosystem; creating a human-environment interface. The relationship between humans and the natural world will be explored, particularly the historical relationship between human and non-human animal species. By examining case studies, this course will examine environmental issues in a variety of geographic contexts (developed and developing countries) and the connections between environmental problems in different locations. Students will explore the fundamentals of environmental science, anthropology, economics, and cultural ecology as they relate to the interface between humans and their environment.
