Course Description
In this course, students explore how children acquire language and the factors influencing early language development. While language learning may seem effortless, students examine various aspects of acquisition to understand this complex process. Topics include gestures and accents, vocabulary growth, the role of sleep, language learning in non-laboratory environments, and the impact of television and electronic devices. Students focus primarily on typical development but also consider insights from children with developmental disorders and learning differences.

Course Description
This course uses mathematics to discuss the global environment. Basic fluid dynamics and simple physics for the atmosphere and oceans are used to discuss some of the mechanisms involved in the dispersion of pollutants along coasts and the four-yearly (on average) El Nino oscillation in the equatorial Pacific, with its attendant Australia drought and blight of the Peruvian anchovy industry. Typical analysis involves the solution of linear partial differential equations for the velocity and density of the flows.

Course Description
The discipline of statistics is concerned with situations in which uncertainty and variability play an essential role and forms an important descriptive and analytical tool in many practical problems. Against a background of motivating problems, this course develops relevant probability models for the description of such uncertainty and variability. Topics: sample spaces; operations of events; probability and probability laws; conditional probability; independence; discrete random variables; cumulative distribution function; probability mass function; Bernoulli, binomial, geometric, and Poisson distributions; continuous random variables; probability density function; exponential, gamma, and normal distributions; functions of a random variable; joint distributions; marginal distributions; independent random variables; functions of jointly distributed random variables; expected value; variance and standard deviation; covariance and correlation.

Course Description
This course provides an anthropological approach to art in public space by exploring the public sphere as a place of communication and contestation, transmission and transformation, and engagement and estrangement. Examining independent and institutional art practices, from the apparent “vandalism” of graffiti to the authorized projects of contemporary public art, it explores the social, political, and economic debates which these practices both implicitly intersect with and overtly investigate. The course focuses on the concept of public and publicity, community, and the commons. It also includes guest lectures and workshops by artists as well as explorations of particular exhibitions and events in a local context.

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the concepts that underlie modern economic analysis. The course begins with the concept of opportunity cost, proceeding to optimal decision-making at the level of an individual consumer. Similar analysis describe the optimal behavior of an individual firm, distinguishing competitive and non-competitive market structures. The theoretical coverage is supplemented with real-life examples, including a visit to one of the London's markets (e.g. London Metal Exchange) where students can observe a live application of the theoretical concepts.

Course Description
The course offers a practical analysis of the role of accountability and transparency for the stability of post-conflict transitions and reconstructions. The observations from field researchers are analyzed in this course as one of the few elements that give tangible measurements of the corruption that occurs in post-conflict settings. Students contribute to the content of the course in several sessions and are asked to generate a model to conceptualize the notion of accountability and transparency. Both practical experiences from the field and theoretic approaches are used to structure the class. This course provides students with the opportunity to obtain experience in creating and refining policy.
