Please note: After the first week of classes, this class will meet every other week for 100 minutes. In this course, you will explore the most recent research on how people learn best, different kinds of learning (e.g., procedural versus content), and other types of human cognition, such as attention, memory, and perception. You will apply this content to your own learning to better understand how you learn efficiently and effectively. You will also learn about strategies you can employ to facilitate learning in a variety of learning environments. This course provides opportunities for small group interactions, focused on the learning that takes place in a large, public research university setting, specific to students? chosen major or among a selection of fields. In addition, you will begin to frame your learning within the UB Curriculum philosophy to facilitate the creation of the electronic portfolio required for the UB Curriculum capstone.

The purpose of this one-credit seminar is to introduce transfer students to the University at Buffalo, as well as the School of Management. Faculty and new upper division UB transfer students will be brought together to establish a successful transition to becoming a student at the University at Buffalo. This course will be based around the discussion and debate of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as well as individual responsibility. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is when management decides to "do good for society". In other words, companies use some of their profits towards initiatives that benefit society. Some initiatives that are focused on include improving the environment, donating to charities (locally & nationally), and assisting community programs. In addition, we will discuss social responsibility on an individual basis and how you can improve our society as a student, right now. Furthermore, students will explore different concentrations and careers within the School of Management. Students will also learn/refine skills required for academic success.

This 1-credit UB Seminar is a discussion-based course that will use a variety of formats (readings from the Old Testament, books, movies, documentaries, popular TV shows, and a guided tour of UB?s Brain Museum) to explore the underlying anomalies in neurological cases. A review of normal neuroanatomy and function will lead to a discussion of how these are disrupted in the particular case and consequent impact on global function. Case studies will be selected to cover a broad range of neurological systems (vision, speech, memory, personality). By integrating illnesses/injures concurrent to learning the physiology/anatomy, students will not only gain an appreciation and understanding of normal neurological function, but more importantly, an appreciation of the resiliency and adaptability of the neurological system, and most importantly, of the human spirit.
