Explaining and predicting this variation is the central research question in criminology. Tools for understanding the onset of crime, its persistence, intermittency and desistance include the study of birth cohorts of everyone born in a certain time and place, life course studies of juvenile delinquents and non-delinquents, trajectory analysis of people studied from pre-school through middle age, and interviews with 70-year-old former delinquents who reflect on how their life-course affected the crimes they committed. Students are asked to consider what these research findings imply for major theories of crime and policies for crime prevention. * Teacher: Jinan Khatib CRIMINAL JUSTICE This course examines how the criminal justice system responds to crime in society. The course reviews the historical development of criminal justice agencies in Lebanon, the Arab World and internationally and the available scientific evidence on the effect these agencies have on controlling crime. The course places an emphasis on the functional creation of criminal justice agencies and the discretionary role decision makers in these agencies have in deciding how to enforce criminal laws and whom to punish. Evidence on how society measures crime and the role that each major criminal justice agency plays in controlling crime is examined from the perspective of crime victims, police, prosecutors, jurors, judges, prison officials, probation officers and parole board members. Using the model of social policy evaluation, the course asks students to consider how the results of criminal justice could be more effectively delivered to reduce the social and economic costs of crime. * Teacher: Jinan Khatib TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE II * Teacher: Maria Habboushi TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE I * Teacher: Maria Habboushi ENGLISH LINGUISTICS * Teacher: Maria Habboushi ENGLISH COMMUNICATION SKILLS I * Teacher: Maria Habboushi EDUC320 METHODS OF TEACHING SOCIAL STUDIES IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I * Teacher: Maria Abed EDUC428 SPECIAL EDUCATION IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL II * Teacher: Maria Abed CALCULUS AND ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY I COPY 1 This course includes instruction in Calculus topics common to the standard college first semester Calculus course.

The purpose of this course is to provide students with a basic theoretical framework to enable them to read, investigate, and understand the complexities of the city with its components. Through a set of case studies, students shall realize how- - Urban and City Planning as a practice (both through physical interventions and policies) is affecting positively or negatively the life of its citizens. Starting from the genesis of cities and passing through the main normative and descriptive theories of city form, at the end of the course students will have the capacity to: read and understand the urban form through different theoretical lenses, know of different forms of transportation systems and their positive and negative impact on the urban life and city form, and appreciate the impact of the citizens involvement in the urban choices. * Teacher: Sandy Sabsabi DESIGN IN CONSTRUCTION II A combined lecture and studio course consisting of: recent building technologies, materials, finishing work and materials, and the methods, contents, and presentation of professional construction documents including execution drawings, details and schedules. The course covers building components such as floors, roofs, walls, doors, windows, and stairs. It equips students with an adequate level of knowledge and applications in the processes and procedures for building component and the multiplicity of ways that they impact architectural design. Students will get an exposure to the general construction practices by undertaking site visits. After completing this course, students will be able to: describe the relationship between drawing and construction, identify the different types of construction drawings, and use traditional and by building a synergy with the concurrent CAD I use computer aided drafting techniques to produce basic construction drawings. * Teacher: Philippe Saleh ARCHITECTURE DESIGN II This design studio marks the beginning of the skill application stage of the curriculum. Building on the skills developed in ARCH 311, it focuses on the identification and use of precedents as a valuable tool of design that opens up alternative lines of thinking towards concept development- adding depth and justification to the design process. Through probing the myriad of design parameters and understanding the design decisions that shaped a project, students will critically unravel the different dimensions in the approach of a design process that is informed by precedents, be it on the level of typology, site type, sustainability strategies, tectonics, etc. During this semester, the rigorous and creative application of the principles of environmental sustainability play also an important part in the design process. Students are expected to explore how architecture concentrates and conveys natural and cultural forces through means specific to the discipline. By the end of this semester, students shall have acquired a great sensibility to the importance of the role that the immediate users, the context and the environment have in shaping an architectural design solution. Students shall build an in-depth understanding of these factors through their study of architectural precedents.
