Course Catalog Description:
Assessing objectively the neuroscience information presented to public at-large across various media outlets. Explaining the potential importance of these discoveries.
Class Description:
This course is designed for students interested in a better understanding about how our brains function. There are no prerequisites for the course other than a strong sense of curiosity. The course begins with several lectures that provide a biological foundation to appreciate the intricacies of our brains. These lectures will be easily accessible to students of all backgrounds. Afterwards, using case studies as a basis for understanding general phenomena, students will learn about a variety of topics, including, how our brains observe the world, imagine, fall in love, feel pain, respond to injury, develop, and respond to drugs or psychotherapy. Brain-machine interface technologies and cutting edge findings will also be explored. By taking this course, students will gain an even greater appreciation for the human brain, the most complex machine in existence. This course fulfills the Liberal Education requirement of Technology and Society.

A service learning experience in which a student is paired with a middle school science teacher who has completed the BrainU program in neuroscience. Student observes and assists in implementing previously developed neuroscience educational activities and designs and implements a new classroom activity to teach concepts of neuroscience to middle school learners.
Class Description:
Students will be responsible for developing an experiment or inquiry-based activity to illustrate a basic neuroscience concept for a middle school science classroom. Students will be paired with a middle school science teacher who has become familiar with neuroscience through the BrainU program offered through the Department of Neuroscience. Over the course of the semester students will observe and assist in the middle school classroom in the implementation of already developed neuroscience activities. Students will choose a basic concept in an area of neuroscience in which they will develop an expertise and make an oral presentation. Students will then design and implement a new classroom activity to teach concepts in that area of neuroscience to middle school learners. By partnering with a middle school teacher and assisting in his/her classroom, the student participates in a service learning experience. Credit hours are proportional to the number of hours spent in the middle school classroom, 1 credit for every 50 hr. Weekly meetings with the instructor, journaling, and readings are required for all credit levels.
