Economic Ideas & Issues (ECN 203)
The course begins with an analysis of the scientific method (based on Joseph Schumpeter's discussion in his History of Economic Analysis, pps. 33-47) with a special focus on the importance definitions and assumptions. The sophistication of a model can be systematically developed by starting with strong (unrealistic) assumptions that simplify the world, then relaxing assumptions to bring more complexity into the model. Through a series of such steps, defining and arranging terms to address the growing complexity at each step, a very sophisticated model can be developed. The course follows this method, relaxing assumptions/building complexity, to construct a very sophisticated (albeit introductory) version of the modern neoclassical general equilibrium micro model.

Introduction to Information Based Organizations (IST 335)
Organizational theory and management practices: human resources management, organizational development and design, managing change. Organizational implications of information services and systems; establishing effective working relationships with individuals and groups.
Information Reporting & Presentation (IST 444)
This class is designed to introduce students to basic concepts in the presentation of information, both in oral and in print form. The average person is presented with so much information that content often must be presented in a form that captures and draws the viewer’s attention. In this class we will explore a variety of techniques to capture and keep the attention of the audience, as well as draw them to the important aspects of the presentation. In the end, our goal is to create the “perfect package” which allows us to present our thoughts clearly and creatively both in-person and in print!
Introduction to the Legal System (LPP 255)
This class teaches:
- Familiarize you with legal terms, legal cases and how the law (in all its forms) and public policy affect business.
- Help you understand that businesses do not operate in a vacuum and that understanding the legal environment in which they do operate is critical to a comprehensive business education.
- Emphasize the importance of ethics in law and business.
- Encourage critical analysis and legal reasoning when reading course materials.
- Promote clear and concise communication (written and verbal) in carrying out these course objectives.
Perspectives of Business and Management (SOM 122)
This class teaches an understanding of the role and responsibility of management in society; fundamental knowledge of nature and integration of functional disciplines in business; skills essential to effective management; development of base for academic/career mission and achievement.
Along with learning the curriculum of the beginnings of business and management, we were assigned a semester long group project. This point of the project is to evaluate your assigned company; my group, Efficient-C was assigned Mattel. We performed an external environmental analysis (PEST), and internal analysis, a SWOT analysis and a TOWS matrix.

Basic statistical theory and data analysis methods. Describing data graphically and numerically. Probability distributions. Sampling. Statistical tests and intervals. Use of computer statistics programs. Emphasis on choice, limitations, and interpretation of methods for management use.
In this class, I have learned how to integrate the technological aspect of excel into statistics, which is part of the business side of my dual degree program.

Information Technologies (IST 195)
IST 195 is all about information technology. Today’s technology. Computers. The Internet. Hardware. Software. Instant Messaging. eBay. LimeWire. mp3s. How it all works.
For one of the IST 195 labs, I built an HTML page using code. I then published the page to mysite. View the website here.
I also edited our Venmo group project.
For the other IST 195 project I developed a product, Speak it. See below.

Foundations of Human Behavior (PSY 205)
I learned about psychology as an empirical field through exposure to various research methods and findings. I also learned about numerous psychological theories, ranging from behavioral, physiological, social, clinical, and cognitive perspectives. By understanding principles of psychology, I learned more about myself, others, non-human animals, and relationships.
