Research is the search for new knowledge, and there are numerous methods researchers use to seek new knowledge and/or find solutions to pressing societal, medical, or other problems. Research methods can range from direct observations to intricate laboratory experiments manipulating a set of variables. This course will provide you with an introduction to the primary research methods used in different fields. The major methods we will cover are: (1) field or observational research; (2) survey research; (3) experimental design; (4) clinical research; (5) participatory action research; and (6) archival research. Throughout the academic term, we will bring in faculty researchers who employ different types of research methods and engage you in activities to learn about these various research methods. In addition, we will visit research sites on and off-campus. By the end of the term, you should have a good understanding of a wide array of research methods and the strengths and weaknesses of these methods.
UC 105. Perspectives on Health and Health Care.
Section 001.Instructor(s): Michelle H O'Grady (mmidwif@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Restricted to students enrolled in the Health Sciences Scholars Program. (2). (ID). May not be repeated for credit. Credits: (2). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. Perspectives on Health and Health-Care is the required core course for members of the Health Sciences Scholars Program. UC 105 and 106 together provide a contextual examination of professional roles and disciplines within health science and care, the science informing those roles, and the issues challenging professionals. These issues include the balance of "nature and nurture," health and the environment, technology and ethics, the allocation of resources, the relationship between personal autonomy and health, and the nature of human relationships within the system of health care. Practitioners from many disciplines within the health sciences will present case studies illustrating these themes. This content provides a foundation for professional involvement in health care and science by encouraging an informed consideration of the complexity of health, developing challenges, and the spectrum of health professions. Students will examine the major themes of the course by exploring the following questions: What are the relative contributions to human health and illness from genetics, behavior, and the environment? Should scientists develop, and practitioners utilize, technologic innovations knowing that this research and the use of the technologies will engender ethical dilemmas? At what point does our desire to provide the best possible health care to all persons conflict with the limits of our resources and other needs of society? What are the rights and responsibilities of individuals with regard to maintaining their own health, and how might these clash with the corresponding rights and responsibilities of health care providers and society? How do the norms and values of different health disciplines relate to the need to provide coordinated, collegial, evidence-based health care? How do these issues play out in students' consideration of their future professional lives?
UC 150. First-Year Humanities Seminar.Section 001 — Music in Our Lives.Instructor(s): Louis B Nagel (julou@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Only first-year students, including those with sophomore standing, may pre-register for First-Year Seminars. All others need permission of instructor. (3). (HU). May not be repeated for credit. First-Year Seminar Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. This seminar will focus on how people listen to music and music's impact on communities of people who listen to it. In the first weeks of the course, students will learn how to listen to music and explore the interaction of different elements of music, such as rhythm, melody, and harmony. As we begin to listen to a wider range of music, we will explore the impact of music in cases such as the Paris riot of 1913 following the performance of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" or the reaction of King George to the "Hallelujah Chorus" at the conclusion of Handel's "Messiah." We will consider the impact of popular music, religious music, and the band as examples of how music has reached out into all types of communities. Students will attend three musical events and write reviews of each based on concepts explored in class. The professor will present and perform numerous examples of music on the piano, there will be invited soloists and chamber ensembles, and students who wish may share their musical talents in class.

"Health Care, Privilege, and Community" will consist of four sections. The first will provide an overview of medical and health care concepts and terms as they relate to multiculturalism. The understanding of these concepts will be critical for students, as they lay the groundwork for the remainder of the course. The class will examine issues relating to consumers of health care, which will include discussions of the major ethnic and racial groups in the United States. Many of the class discussions will focus on these new consumers, such as various ethnic communities, elders, and other interest groups that have been "left behind" as major players in health care. In addition, the class will take a look at physicians and other types of health care providers with special attention to the providers from the major demographic groups. Thirdly, we will examine the dilemmas within our health care system. Class discussions will focus on health disparities, ethical issues related to research in different ethnic groups, and discrimination in health care. Finally, solutions to the present health care dilemmas will be discussed. We will investigate the future challenges for equitable health care based on the demographic changes that have occurred in the United States over the last two decades. It will be important for students to gain an understanding of how these changes have resulted in new important consumers and providers of health care services. Subsequently, a discussion of current health disparities today will be an integral part of understanding whether they will persist in the future.

UC 151. First-Year Social Science Seminar.Section 007 — Identity, Alienation, Freedom.Instructor(s): Robert G Pachella (pachella@umich.edu)Prerequisites & Distribution: Only first-year students, including those with sophomore standing, may pre-register for First-Year Seminars. All others need permission of instructor. (3). (SS). May not be repeated for credit. First-Year Seminar Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. The purpose of this seminar will be to explore the concepts of identity, alienation, and freedom as psychological and philosophical concepts. The orientation, however, will be specific and applied to the normal situations and predicaments that college students experience. Questions to be considered: surviving as an individual in a large and often impersonal university; living up to and/or dealing with the expectations of parents and teachers; questioning authority in the context of the classroom; trading-off career pressures and personal goals in setting educational priorities. Of special importance will be the examination of the sometimes frightening loss of a sense of identity that often accompanies significant alterations in lifestyle, such as that experienced by students in the transition from high school to college or, later, in the transition from college to the "real world." In addition to regular class meetings, each student will meet individually with the instructor every third week to develop and discuss individual reading and writing assignments. Grades will be determined by the quantity and quality of this reading and writing.

There will be two texts, group projects in the form of "Journal Clubs," and an individual book review in both written and oral form. Journal Clubs are an important part of the continuing education of medical professionals. Journal clubs meet regularly to discuss current studies on subjects of mutual interest. The class will divide into JCs to explore various aspects of medical school. This project would accomplish several goals: help you build your group participation skills, develop web skills, and increase your practical, current knowledge of medical schools. In addition, this project will introduce you to a wide range of information sources. The Clubs can decide specific topics, such as: How Medical Schools Differ; The Admissions Process; Trends in Medical Education; What Undergraduate Majors are possible?, Patterns in Specialty Choice; Getting a Residency; Staying Balanced in Medical School, and many others. The Journal Clubs will make a group presentation to the seminar. Individual book reviews will also be presented to the seminar. Each student will choose an individual book that is an autobiography of a medical student or a physician (Other kinds of book are possible). The student will make a presentation to the seminar, discussing the themes of the review of the book covering these topics.

Mental disorders are far more common in the general population than is usually appreciated, and often produce as much or more disability than do most medical disorders. The nature of these disorders is poorly understood by individuals who are not trained in the mental health fields. While mental disorders are usually defined simply on the basis of symptoms and behavioral manifestations, a great deal more is known about them, including many of the biological and behavioral processes underlying them. This course will introduce students to the basic concepts of mental health and mental disorders, and describe the basic natural and social science areas related to understanding brain function and mental disorders, with an emphasis on the biological processes. The course would be appropriate for anyone interested in neuroscience or mental processes.
