Course Description
In this course, students learn how to design a computer and understand the performance characteristics of computers. Students first acquire a working knowledge of digital design, through the Verilog Hardware Description Language, along with a good theoretical grounding in the design of the key components of a microprocessor. Students learn, both theoretically and practically, how the quantitative approach to computer architecture enables computer architects to analyze and optimize microprocessors to maximize performance. Students spend time in the lab, designing real hardware, and later in the course applying recently-acquired knowledge of quantitative computer architecture to analyze a simulated system and optimize its performance.

BRITAIN & COLD WAR

Course Description
For four decades Britain faced the prospect of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. In 1953, UK defense planning assumed such an exchange would result in 1.4 million deaths and three-quarters of a million casualties. Within a year, the Soviet development of the hydrogen bomb vastly increased these figures. Almost as soon as it was over, however, the Cold War seems to have evaporated from popular memory. Using a wide range of primary sources, many recently released, this course explores this increasingly forgotten episode in British history. Focusing on the first half of the Cold War, the course provides an introduction to the war's military and political dimensions whilst also considering its social and cultural impact on the lives of contemporary Britons.

The contents of the class are arranged around the following topics: the concepts of health and illness, why do we care about health; the social determinants of health, why is health social, beyond mind and body, construing in inter-action; a systemic-constructivist model of health and illness; and caregiving experience. Depending on the nature of discussions and research articles, the class content may be adapted to promote students’ interests and engagement, and develop their research and evidence based readings. The course requires a foundation level of psychological literacy developed throughout the first to second year of undergraduate study in psychology as a prerequisite.

Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the fast evolving field of human computer interaction (HCI). HCI is a multidisciplinary subject concerning the design, implementation and evaluation of interactive computing systems for human use, and the study of major phenomena surrounding them. The course provides a broad overview of the field, including the theory and principles underlying good designs, with an emphasis on the interface design process, development and evaluation. Some state-of-the-art technologies in HCI, such as speech recognition, haptics, virtual reality, software agents and computer supported cooperative work are discussed.

Course Description
This course explores some of the biological bases of behavior. It focuses on learning and memory, mainly using spatial and episodic memory as a model system with which to explore issues such as how neurons represent information, and how this representation is modified by experience. Students use multiple levels of description ranging from the genes contained within the neurons, through the proteins they make, the dynamical functions carried out by neurons (e.g. synaptic transmission, modification of connections etc.), the interactions of groups of neurons in circuits to form cognitive representations, and all the way up to the animal's macroscopic behavior and how this interacts with the environment.
