disability and deafness. Course content will focus primarily
on issues and experiences related to disability or chronic
illness acquired as an adult (with some attention to deaf
children). Attendance at two Saturday sessions is required. top Theories of Personality

The major personality theorists will be presented sequentially
within their cultural and historical contexts. This will provide
students with a broader understanding of the evolution of
ideas concerning human nature. Exploration of theories will
be limited to those that apply specifically to the practice
of counseling. We will also examine the interaction of the
individual within the social milieu, the cultural biases within
theory and the effect of personal history on historical claims. top

While we often describe conflicts as having "opposing
sides," in reality, negotiations and disagreements often
entail several different angles and multiple parties. State
agencies have to work with other levels of government, with
legislation or the courts, and often with a variety of civic
and corporate interest groups as well. In this course, we
will study multiparty decision-making and also multiparty
mediation and conflict resolution techniques. top Conserving and Restoring Biodiversity

This class explores how conservation biology is practiced
around the world. We study and discuss: (1) scientific principles
of conservation biology, threats to biodiversity and problems
of small populations, (2) lessons learned from conservation
and restoration practitioners and (3) conservation as a political/legal
issue. top Environmental Education

It is widely agreed that an environmentally literate and concerned
citizenry is crucial to environmental quality-but how and
where does environmental education occur? We will explore
the history, philosophical underpinnings and current trends
in environmental education for youth and adults, in both formal
sectors (schools and colleges) and non-formal ones. We will
examine model EE efforts in the region, and the tensions associated
with teaching complex, highly charged issues. top Fiscal Policy

Geographic information systems (GIS) deal with space and data.
This class will deal with the fundamentals of the data used
in spatial analysis, including data structures, data bases,
and data sources. It will also examine at least some types
of spatial analysis in detail. GIS has as many applications
as the human mind can devise. We will explore primarily natural
science applications. Expect to use more than one software
package. This is not a class in ArcView GIS.
Students should expect a rigorous course of study requiring
both "book learning" and many hours working through
applications. Graduate students should present one of the
following: a GIS case study, a new application, or the results
of research to the class at the end of the quarter. For undergraduates
this will be optional. Knowledge of statistics is a recommended
prerequisite. Texts: Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop: Basics

This course will focus on organizing and managing workplaces
to maximize worker engagement, dignity, and productivity.
The course will cover communications in the workplace, the
qualities of effective teams, employee participation in improving
their productivity, and cutting edge personnel management
practices such as broad-banding, performance evaluation, coaching
and organizational research and development practices. The
course will cover what recent research is discovering regarding
effective management practices that build winning workforces.
In many cases, this research demonstrates that it does not
take a charismatic, highly paid executive to lead well managed
companies and work forces. Workshops included in the course
include: communication styles, employee recognition, performance
reviews and process improvement/employee involvement. In each
of these areas, students will have readings and discussions
linking the content to issues personnel management in Indian
tribes and organizations. top Microbial Ecology

Microorganisms are by far the most abundant forms of life
on this planet, with enormous impacts on all other aspects
of life. This program is designed for MES students and advanced
science students with a need and interest in understanding
the basic principles and interactions in microbial systems
and their roles in the broader ecology of earth. Proposed
activities include:
Readings-based small- and large-group discussions of basic
concepts in microbiology and microbial ecology, including
important experimental techniques
Talks on such topics as archae (those microbes that grow under
greater extremes of temperature, pH, etc.), biofilms, fish
pathogens, gut microbiology, E. coli -- particularly O157
in cattle and human health, role of bacteriophages in maintaining
microbial balance in nature, and other topics of special interest
to the group.
Student-researched presentations on case studies and/or microbes
of particular interest to them presentations will take place
primarily during the last 4 weeks of the quarter, and students
will be encouraged to work in pairs in carrying out the research
and presentations.
