  • LIB 225 Advanced Research for College, Work and Life


    This course bridges the gap between the basic-level research done in introductory courses, and advanced-level research expected in 300 and 400 level courses. While exploring the world of information in this course, students will learn to use effective methods and techniques of information gathering, evaluation and presentation. They will develop advanced research techniques specific to their disciplines, and build problem-solving and information-seeking skills they will use after college to make decisions regularly encountered in today’s information-driven workplace.

Linguistics

  
  • LING 101 Language: Misconceptions vs. Reality


    This class focuses on helping students debunk linguistic misconceptions using relevant facts and linguistic principles. Topics to be explored include: Do animals have language? Is English harder than other languages? Is there one “correct” English? Do all languages have grammar? Is baby-talk detrimental for young children? Do men and women talk differently? Are some languages more expressive than others? This class introduces students to some of the basic tools linguists use to study language, but requires no previous understanding of linguistics.

Topics also include the emergence of new Englishes, standardization, colonialism and the effects of English dominance on linguistic diversity, minority languages, and educational policies. This class introduces students to some of the basic tools linguists use to study language, but requires no previous understanding of linguistics.
