LIB 302 Ree/al or Not Ree/al:The History of the Documentary as History (3)
Prerequisite(s): 21 Credit Hours toward Liberal Arts Major
Documentary films compel us to believe that they represent the real world as it really is. They arise from real-life events that occur in real time; yet, the films, as well as the film makers, are representing an historical phenomenon by choosing who or what is presented, how it is presented, and what sources are used to support their particular re-telling of the past-much like a traditional, written history. Yet the documentary film employs powerful visual and auditory components not present in traditional, written histories to convince viewers to accept its particular point of view. Students in this seminar course will, while examining documentary film from its beginnings in the early 20th century to the present, learn the techniques used by documentarians to tell their stories. They will then analyze a series of films from the 1910's through the 21st century in order to address the overall course question.

This course provides necessary conceptual background for students interested in corpus linguistics and natural language processing and is a prerequisite to Introduction to Language and Computers.

NLP 106 Introduction to Secondary Research Methods (3)
Have you ever heard on the news "scientists have discovered" ...says who, where? Or what about a medical procedure or a drug...how do we know what kind of research has been done...is it safe? If you have ever wondered about these type of questions, this course is for you. We will learn how to find and interpret academic and scientific articles in order to find answers to real world questions. We will learn to think critically about things that may impact the value of the research, such as sample selection and researcher bias. We will also work together to write an article with the view of submitting it to a journal or conference for publication. Natural language processing and computational linguistics requires a deep understanding of the real-world problems at hand and whether the computer derived solutions indeed work as intended in the messy contexts of workplaces and society-at-large.

Working together, we will engage in hands-on activities and projects using corpus linguistics and natural language processing tools. We will also contemplate what all the advancements in technology mean to our daily work (are robots going to take over?) and privacy (who or what is listening to us and how and why?).

NLP 126 Introduction to Primary Research Methods (3)
Prerequisite(s): NLP 106
The first step to solving a problem, in computer science and other concentration areas, is narrowing the problem down and developing a plan of attack.

SOC 250 Sociology of Deviance and Social Control (3)
Prerequisite(s): SOC 103
This course introduces students to the sociological study of deviance and familiarizes them with key concepts and sociological theories. Studying deviance from a sociological perspective means focusing not on individual acts of deviance, but on the social forces that create and facilitate it. Deviance, or the breaking of social norms, is always dependent on what those norms are in a given context. Deviant behaviors, beliefs, and conditions all have origins in socially shared expectations of behavior, are learned and made manifest in social interaction, and produce profound consequences for individuals and society at large. The topics covered in this course attempt to answer a variety of questions. For example: How are socially shared expectations of behavior created and maintained? Why do people engage in deviant behavior? How is such behavior learned? What makes people more or less likely to be deviant? And, what are the consequences of being labeled deviant? The theories covered will be used in the analyses of various forms of deviance, such as criminal behavior, illicit drug use, white-collar crime, sexual deviance, mental disability, obesity, paranormal beliefs, and more.

When large numbers of people organize to pursue common interests, these groups are called social movements, and this class will be devoted to understanding what social movements are, how they work, how they interact with political institutions, and the forms they have taken, and continue to take, in the United States and throughout the world.
