Adhimoolam, B	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Programming and Data Sci w R Section Info: 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. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

Lyubansky, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Restorative Justice Section Info: 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 students in the Psychology department. Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

64951	Online Lecture	TK	10:00AM -11:50AM	W	n.a.	Kwapil, T	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/25/21-05/05/21 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Schizotypy & Schizophrenia Section Info: Pre-Req of Psyc 238 Senior priority enrollment begins December 1st. Junior priority enrollment begins December 4th. All Restrictions lifted at 9:00 am on December 7th. Schizophrenia is a catastrophic mental illness that is characterized by psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. However, current views suggest that schizophrenia may be the most extreme manifestation of a continuum of impairment known as schizotypy. This course will examine historical and contemporary views of the etiology and phenomenology of schizotypy (and by extension schizophrenia and related disorders). The course will also explore research methods for studying such topics. The goal of the course is for students to have a basic understanding about the clinical literature and research methods regarding schizotypy and schizophrenia, and be able to use this framework to consider other forms of psychopathology. Elective course for Clinical/Community or Intradisciplinary Psychology Concentration Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
