This course is designed to introduce students to major issues related to population size and growth, population processes, and composition in the\u00a0United States. The course covers both historical and contemporary issues. It also introduces some basic measures and data sources used to study populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Define, explain, and apply basic concepts that are used to describe and study populations. We will focus on the three major demographic processes that shape population growth and composition – mortality, fertility, and migration.<\/li>\n
  2. Review the historical background for understanding population issues, particularly the dramatic growth and diversity of the\u00a0U.S.\u00a0population and the forces that have shaped it.<\/li>\n
  3. Develop an understanding of how populations are measured, including the U.S. Census and vital statistics, and how to access and interpret these numbers.<\/li>\n
  4. Use and interpret basic demographic measures, including the balancing equation, growth rates and compounded growth, population pyramids, and measures of mortality, fertility, and migration.<\/li>\n
  5. Develop an awareness of contemporary social issues in the\u00a0United States\u00a0(as well as the special case of\u00a0Florida) and make connections between historical population processes, social consequences, and policy implications.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    News:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Students are expected to read at least one major newspaper 2-3 times per week (most are available free on-line). Students are also encouraged to explore on-line news, government reports, data, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Course Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Readings<\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Readings\u00a0are assigned for nearly every class.\u00a0 You should complete the readings\u00a0before<\/span>\u00a0the class for which they are assigned.\u00a0 You are also expected to read a major newspaper (e.g., New York Times, Washington Post, available free on-line) and to peruse on-line resources regularly.\u00a0Please feel free to email clippings, links, and comments to the Instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Quizzes:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>There will be 10 short onine quizzes throughout the semester based on the assigned readings for the week as well as review of content from the prior week. You may miss up to 2 quizzes without penalty, or drop your 2 lowest scores. Each quiz is worth\u00a04 points (total of 32 points; 10 quizzes, 2 dropped).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Prior to each of the 2 exams, the quiz will\u00a0involve writing and submitting suggested questions for the exams\u00a0(to be submitted in Canvas). These pre-exam quizzes must be completed by all students and cannot be used as “drops.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Extensions on the due dates for\u00a0quizzes will be available\u00a0in the case of a documented\u00a0excused absence\u00a0as defined by UF policy (see below); you are responsible for alerting the instructor of such absences and for arranging extended time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Attendance and In-Class Work:<\/strong>\u00a0 The course combines lectures, in-class discussion, assigned readings, and internet resources. Class attendance is required. Attendance will be taken on most\u00a0days, either by calling roll or through unannounced, in-class writing assignments (10 points total)<\/strong>. You may miss up to 2 classes without penalty, but any additional missed classes will decrease the attendance grade by about 0.27 point each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    ***\u00a0Acceptable reasons for excused absences according to UF policy include illness, religious holidays, military obligation,\u00a0and the twelve-day rule (https:\/\/catalog.ufl.edu\/ugrad\/current\/regulations\/info\/attendance.aspx<\/a>). Should you\u00a0miss a class for any reason, you are responsible for getting information from a classmate or the instructor regarding all announcements and material covered in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Exams<\/strong>: There are 2 exams in the course (worth\u00a034 points each; 68 points total<\/strong>). Exams include multiple-choice, short-answer, and short-essay formats. The dates of the exams are on the syllabus. These dates will not change. Make-up exams will be given only in the event of a serious, documented reason. Unless it is an emergency, any concerns about make-up exams should be discussed with the instructor in advance (at least 48 hours) of the scheduled exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    New Reports Essay<\/strong>\u00a0requires a 3-4 page written summary and critique of a recent population-related report from the U.S. government (Census, National Center for Health Statistics,\u00a0Centers\u00a0for Disease Control), Pew Research Center, or similar organization; a set of 2-3 related, substantial news articles; or a recently published research article in a scholarly journal on a timely population issue. Students may work individually or in pairs on a specific report or journal article published within the past two year (since September 2016) on a topic that is relevant to class during the time that their news essay is due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Students are required to turn in the name, author, and bibliographic information along with a 2-3 sentence overview of their selected report, journal article, or news articles to the instructor for approval no less than 6 days before the essay due date (2 points deducted if not received at least 6 days before essay due date).<\/span>\u00a0Each student must submit their own original essay. Specific instructions for selecting an appropriate source and writing the essay will be posted in Canvas (16 points<\/strong>). Essays must be turned in as hard copy in class and submitted electronically in Canvas by class time on date due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Students will sign up for a due date\/topic and will work in small groups of about 5 students to prepare a brief presentation (no more than 3 minutes per person, up to 20\u00a0minutes total for presentation and discussion) to be given on the day that their essays are due\u00a0(6 points)<\/strong>. Students should coordinate with other group members in the selection of reports (to avoid duplication) and in organizing the presentation. The group should prepare 3-4 discussion questions with which to end their presentation to stimulate class discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Take-Home Assignments<\/strong>\u00a0involve finding, interpreting, and comparing demographic data. Instructions will be posted on Canvas. Assignments will be turned in as hard copy in class, and the commentary portions of each assignment must also be submitted electronically in Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
