Course Description
This course combines the distinct but complementary methods and approaches of geography, archaeology, and history to explore the evolution of the Irish landscape from the arrival of the first people on the island to the present. Throughout this course, students investigate the ways in which thousands of years of interaction between humans and their environment has given form to modern Irish rural and urban landscapes. Students explore the creation and alteration of landscapes by people through time and examine the ways in which these continue to structure the modern landscape which we inhabit or visit today. While the course is primarily focused on Ireland, a comparative perspective is used to highlight key similarities and differences with other landscapes. The course includes a one-day field trip to the remarkable and iconic landscape of Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, which allows students to directly consider and apply the various perspectives introduced within the course.

Course Description
This course gives a comprehensive introduction to nutrients and human nutrition. It looks at individual macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, fat, and alcohol) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and trace elements), the functions of each and what happens if a person is deficient in any one of these. The course also looks at the food sources of nutrients, requirements across the life span, and the national food based dietary guidelines recommended to ensure adequate intakes. Tutorial classes introduce students to nutrition research, how and where research is published, and how to refer to nutrition research when writing about nutrition. The tutorial classes are mandatory and cover the continuous assessment for this course.

Course Description
This course examines the most important insect pollinators and gives an insight into their taxonomy, biology, and ecological role. The focus is on bumble bees, solitary bees and honey bees. It provides the student with an understanding of the variation in their biology and with knowledge of specific pollinator species. The course also identifies human activities that affect (improve or impair) survival of pollinating insects. Emphasis is placed on the honey bee because of its importance, both as a honey producer and as a pollinator of cultivated crops. Beekeeping is described in some detail with practical demonstrations of management, and every student has an opportunity to handle honey bee colonies in an apiary. The lectures are delivered by UCD staff as well as invited speakers, who cover topics such as pollinator ecology (bumble bees, honey bees, and solitary bees), pests and diseases of honey bees and other pollinators.

Course Description
This course examines the development of western popular music from the 1950s to the present day. Although the course content is arranged chronologically, the course is not an exhaustive survey. Rather, each week focuses on a selected genre or thread in modern popular music, from rock and roll to hip-hop to underground and dance music; by examining these genres and threads, students are introduced to theoretical frameworks by which they can analyze and understand the music in question. These frameworks include media theory, gender and performativity, and the critical examination of race and identity. The course also focuses more broadly on how popular music propagates itself over time via its relationship to technology, cultural and subcultural movements, and political currents. Although the course does introduce and employ a few basic musical-analytical concepts, it is an elective course and has no prerequisites.

Course Description
Nowadays, parallel architectures are not only used for high performance computing. The advent of multicore processors, which can be found in all modern desktops, laptops, mobile, and embedded devices, has turned parallel architectures into the mainstream architecture for commodity computing. Correspondingly, parallel programming paradigm is becoming the predominant one in the mainstream programming practice. The course introduces parallel programming and covers the following topics: vector and superscalar processors: architecture and programming model, optimizing compilers (dependency analysis and code generation), array libraries (BLAS), and parallel languages (Fortran 90); shared-memory multi-processors and multicore CPUs: architecture and programming models, optimizing compilers, thread libraries (Pthreads), and parallel languages (OpenMP); distributed-memory multi-processors: architecture and programming model, performance models, message-passing libraries (MPI), parallel languages (HPF); and hybrid parallel programming for clusters of mutlicore CPUs with MPI+OpenMP.

Course Description
This course charts the history of Northern Ireland from its foundation through state building, war, civil rights, sectarian conflict, and the peace process. Relative to its size, Northern Ireland is arguably the most studied and analyzed place on earth in the 20th century. Partition is by no means a phenomenon unique to Ireland. Germany, India, Korea, and Sudan are among the most prominent examples of a phenomenon that has been a major component of the 20th century world. The Northern Irish troubles witnessed the deaths of 3,636 people between 1966 and 1999. The conflict has been a defining moment in the modern histories of Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and Britain. In being a resolved conflict, the solution arrived at in 1998 has become a template for peace processes the world over. 1998 initiated a peace process rather than concluding a peace settlement. That peace has been at times unstable, fragile, and imperfect. This course progresses past the Good Friday Agreement, examining the history of near contemporary Northern Ireland to examine how power sharing, decommissioning, and cultural demobilization have shaped a new polity, asking what changed and what stayed the same.
