Research Ethics/Responsible Conduct of Research fulfills both the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Mandate. The course is case-based and practical. The goal is to have course participants grapple with complex research integrity concerns, especially through cases, and to take away important points from each session as well as where to turn for more information.

This is the required course for the graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities. It entails participation in colloquia, sixty hours of experience participating in a research project uniting computation and humanities, and a portfolio.

Students will learn theoretical and practical foundations of computational methods for analysis of experimental data from various biological data types. Course will cover algorithms, statistical and computational methods, and application areas in computational biology, and will include both classical methods as well as recent advances. Prior coursework/experience in linear algebra, UNIX, and R & Python programming required.

Where do our educational practices come from? This seminar invites graduate students to explore theories and philosophies of education in order to guide their own professional development and practices as educators. We will examine topics such as psychological and social development, human rights, social justice, and civic engagement in order to determine what it means to be effective educators in 21st century institutions of higher education.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new topic in the subject area of academic, professional, and creative writing. For more details on this class, please visit the department website at http://www.engl.virginia.edu/courses.

This course will use a student-centered approach to analyze the benefits of experiential learning for PhD students. Through completing course assignments and participating in an internship, students will gain professional experience, obtain knowledge of a career field, gain access to professional networks, and develop career-specific skills to increase their career preparedness.

While urbanization processes are expected to increase until 2050, shrinkage and growth are occurring simultaneously asking for new approaches to urban regeneration addressing social justice and sustainability. Discussions, lectures, readings, and workshops combined with a design assignment will allow students to engage with urban design strategies and emerging methodologies ranging from regional frameworks to tactical urbanism.

Student will work on a supervised independent research project related to the their area of study or expertise with a member of the PHS faculty.

Independent study conducted by the student under the supervision of an instructor of choice.
