This course will introduce students to DID, one of the most complex and stigmatized mental disorders. DID refers to the presence of two or more identity states, commonly referred to as alters, in a single individual. This is typically due to extraordinarily traumatic experiences as a child, along with genetic, cognitive, and biological factors.

Every student out of elementary school knows that oxygen is necessary for life, but few people know that pure oxygen would kill you faster than no oxygen. This is due to the production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which will subsequently destroy important macromolecules in your body’s cells. This class will look into how your body uses oxygen, the production of free radicals and how they attack macromolecules, and finally how the body fights against reactive oxygen species. A very basic knowledge of chemistry and biology is required for this class. This course is designed to allow for questions at any time. A chalkboard is required, while a projector would be nice.
