Adhimoolam, B	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/20-12/09/20 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Programming and Data Science with R Graduate Students should register for this section. In this course you will learn how to program in R and subsequently use R for effective data analysis and communication of results. The course will teach you the basics of R programming (such as data types and structures in R, writing functions in R, loops and iterations, etc.) and will expand to teach R packages to tidy, transform, visualize, and model your data. You will learn powerful visualization and transformation packages in R (ggplot2 and dplyr), and will also learn about interactive visualization packages in R. You will learn how to fit models to data with R packages and will move on to learn machine learning concepts/packages in R. This course will conclude by covering topics on tools for reproducible research. You will learn R packages such as R Markdown for integrating prose, code and results of data analysis. You will also learn version control with Git and GitHub, which will enable you to create and manage repositories of your code and share them for publication or collaborative purposes. This course will serve as a foundation course for any other advanced statistical analysis/modelling course in R that you may plan for later or in parallel. No prior programming experience is required for this course. Elective course for Intradisciplinary Psychology Concentration Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

75255	Lecture	M2	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	142 Psychology Building	Lyubansky, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/24/20-12/09/20 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Restorative Justice Section Info: Undergraduates should register for this section. This course provides a critical examination of restorative justice principles and practices. Starting with the problems and limitations associated with dominant (punitive) responses to crime and rule violations, we will examine how restorative justice presents an alternative philosophy of justice and seek to understand the costs and benefits associated with attempts to apply that philosophy in different contexts, including criminal justice, schools, and families. Although the focus will be on exploring theoretical, empirical, and experiential writings concerning restorative approaches, there will also be some opportunity to develop and practice applied "facilitation" skills. To the extent possible within the structure of the university system, the course itself will be guided by restorative principles, including power sharing. Elective course for Clinical or Intradisciplinary Concentration Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
