Unfortunately an appropriate textbook for this course does not (yet) exist. Instead, we shall draw upon material from books and articles in physics and physiology. These (required) readings will be placed on reserve.
Homework will be assigned on a biweekly basis. There will be an in-class midterm exam and an in-class final exam. In addition, the student will be expected to prepare a five (5) page term paper on a topic of his or her choosing, within the framework of the course subject matter. The paper will summarize a significant amount of external library research effort. Each paper's topic will be approved in advance, from a one-paragraph synopsis.
The course will be graded as follows:
Homework | 20% |
---|---|
Midterm | 20% |
Term paper | 30% |
Final | 30% |
