Databases are extremely useful for managing and retrieving information, and are used in many professional settings. Learn the basics of creating and accessing a database in FileMaker, an extremely user-friendly cross-platform database program. Intro to Illustrator - Digital Art and Vector Graphics
Adobe Illustrator is the premiere software that graphic designers use to create original digital images and art. (For instance, the PASS mascot, Oscillo, was created in Illustrator!)

The Research Protections Office offers this course to guide Brown University faculty, students and staff through the process of working with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) to conduct research with human participants.
