This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental concepts and computational methods of statistics. These concepts will be developed through the question of how to estimate an unknown quantity using sample data. Students will learn to incorporate the foundational concepts of mathematics with statistical analysis to describe and solve real-life problems and questions. The topics addressed include: displaying categorical data using tables, bar graphs, and circle graphs; drawing conclusions about categorical data; displaying quantitative data using dot plots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms and box-and-whisker plots; describing data distributions using measures of center (mode, mean, and median) and measures of spread (standard deviation, range and IQR); Displaying bivariate data using scatterplots; analyzing bivariate data using linear regression; elementary probability; normal probability distributions, sampling distributions; confidence intervals and hypothesis testing of the proportion and the mean.

This course examines the development of urban communities across the United States and beyond both temporally and geographically. It examines the patterns of cleavage, conflict, convergence of interest, and consensus that have structured urban life. Social, cultural, and economic forces will be analyzed for the roles they have played in shaping diverse communities of America’s cities. Because we this class is involved in an international exchange program we will be comparing NYC to Cairo specifically.

Use this activity to help students distinguish between information types. To prep, identify three web resources (e.g., a newspaper article, scholarly article, published interview, a blog...). Then navigate students to the links (post them to eportfolio or Blackboard) and ask them to answer the questions on the following handout. Alternatively, assign this handout as a research log and ask students to use it to record citation information for the sources they select for their research.

This course introduces students to the role of human service professionals working in an urban environment. Students will learn about the historical context that led to the development of the various human service professions, with an emphasis on New York City. Other topics to be discussed include the value, knowledge, and skill base of the helping process, culturally competent work, and issues of social justice. Emphasis will be place on the relationships between social welfare policy, human need, and the provision of human services.

This course introduces the student to the basic subject matter, questions, and assumptions of study common to Philosophy and the Humanities. Through a preliminary inquiry into how writers, historians, and philosophers represent an idea, such as the construction of knowledge, students will become familiar with how the humanities employ questions of form, effect, affect, and value. This course includes Experiential Learning Opportunities (ELO) with the goal of a more transformational and engaged learning experience.
