Courses Taught
The following is a list of the courses that I teach:
Fall:
HPHY 205 Experimental Research Design and Data Analysis (3 credits)
Relationships among research, research design, measurement, and data analysis provide the context for an introduction to basic concepts of research design and data analysis. Students will learn how to interpret statistics in peer-reviewed research and how to apply statistical methods to analyze data and address research questions in the sciences.
HPHY 475 Biomechanics (3 credits)
An introduction to the physical laws and mechanical aspects governing human motion which covers analysis of internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects of these forces. Topics include kinematics and kinetics of human motion, function of the musculoskeletal system, and mechanical analysis of movement.
HPHY 475L Biomechanics Laboratory (1 credit)
Exposure to advanced techniques and experimental methods used in the study of human motion. Students will work collaboratively to conduct an experimental research project (collect and analyze data) and present their research
HPHY 489 (2 credits)
An introduction to current research literature on specific topics in human physiology. This course prepares students to study, critically review and evaluate, and discuss results of human physiology research.
Spring:
HPHY 105 Introduction to Human Physiology (3 credits)
This course introduces basic concepts and provides a foundation for study in human physiology and the scientific method. Topics covered include basic cellular structure and function and an introduction to systems physiology.
HPHY 374 Human Kinetics (3 credits)
An introduction to the basic principles of kinesiology with emphasis on osteology, arthrology, and the mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body.
HPHY 374L Human Kinetics Laboratory (1 credit)
An introduction to techniques and experimental methods used in the study of human motion with emphasis on osteology, arthrology, and the mechanical interactions between the muscles and joints of the body.
