| Description: | Mindfulness is a term that is becoming increasingly used in popular culture to refer to a set of skills associated with increased attentional focus, successful stress-management, and improved health, sleep, and emotional well-being. This course will expose students to the various facets of mindfulness from both an applied and scientific perspective, by teaching mindfulness skills through a set of easy-to-learn practices and exercises, and by surveying of empirical research regarding mindfulness effects on cognition, emotion, brain function, and health. The goal of the seminar will be to provide practical skills that can contribute to personal development, emotional well-being, and academic success, while also developing critical thinking skills in learning how to read and evaluate primary scientific literature on mindfulness. Open to First-year students only. |

| Description: | The General(ized) Linear Model (GLM) refers to a common family of statistical techniques popular in the social sciences such as ANOVA, regression, and logistic regression. The primary goal of this course is for students to understand the basics and nuances of the GLM. We will also explore and introduce students to extensions of the GLM common in psychology and neuroscience research. These frameworks include multilevel modeling, generalized linear models, Bayesian analyses, machine learning, etc. Students will analyze data using each of these methods using R statistical software, therefore improving their advanced computing skills. By the end of the course, students will understand the general framework used in most statistical tests employed by psychological and neuroscientific researchers. Students will not be expected to know every detail of every test, but will instead have a conceptual understanding of these tools and practice in deploying these tools. PREREQ: L33 Psych 300, SDS 2200, SDS 3200, or DAT 120 and Fluency or proficiencey with R statistical software (e.g., Psych 4175/3175). |

| Description: | This seminar examines the epidemiology, etiology, prevention, and treatment of body image, eating disorders, and obesity. An emphasis will be placed on understanding the characteristic symptoms of excessive dieting, body image disturbance, and binge eating, not only as formal psychiatric syndromes, but as a representation of disregulatory processes reflecting social-cultural, psychological, and biological disturbances. Students will also learn about the clinical characteristics, medical sequelae, and physical aspects of eating disorders and obesity.
