HESP303
Phonetic transcription
Credits: 2
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
An introduction to broad and narrow phonetic transcription, and to physiology of speech production. The primary goal of the course is to provide knowledge about phonetics and the ability to use this knowledge in an applied setting.
HESP306
Anatomy and Physiology of Speech & Hearing
Credits: 4
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
This is a 4-credit course focusing on the biological and neurological bases of human speech production and human hearing, namely the anatomy, physiology, and neurology of the vocal/speech mechanism and the hearing mechanism.Specifically, respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, swallowing, and hearing will be highlighted. A strong understanding of normal anatomy and physiology is essential for the successful evaluation and treatment of patients with speech, language, swallowing and hearing disorders.
HESP307
Speech & Hearing Science
Credits: 4
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
Prerequisite: HESP303.
Human hearing is exquisitely sensitive, allowing us to hear extremely faint sounds, to follow the sounds of a friend's voice in a loud party, and to appreciate subtle differences between words in the language. This course provides an introduction to the basic physics of sound, the acoustic properties of the sounds of speech, and the mechanisms by which those sounds are perceived by the listener.
HESP313
Neurobiology for Speech and Hearing
Credits: 2
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F, Aud
This course is designed to provide an understanding of normal neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of speech and language. It will also provide preliminary information regarding pathologic processes, especially those affecting speech and language
