Business Calculus

This 5 credit course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to the core concepts of calculus with a primary focus on applications from disciplines of economics and the social sciences. The content is applications in differential, integral and multivariable calculus with an introduction to The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Learners will continue to refine their independent study skills, cooperative problem solving, logically correct and mathematically precise writing and thinking, and their ability to use geometric, symbolic and analytic formats in presenting solutions to both abstract and real world applications.

Introduction to Algebra

This course reviews arithmetic skills and introduces algebraic notation, rules and concepts. Students explore linear relationships, with an emphasis on graphing and modeling data. Simplifying expressions and solving basic equations are also discussed. Learning to study math successfully, gaining confidence in approach and accuracy, and using a variety of ways of thinking about a single situation are outcomes for learners who take this course. Applications to real life are emphasized.

English Composition II

Students learn how to develop a research process that includes creating topics and questions, searching for and evaluating a variety of sources, and synthesizing and incorporating those sources to compose original texts.

English Composition I

This course helps students learn how to make judgments and decisions about their own and others’ communication, especially in college writing. They will practice various modes of reading, developing strategies for interpreting, responding to, and making use of a wide array of texts in their own writing. They will develop and document a personalized process to compose texts that demonstrate an understanding of purpose and audience, are thoughtfully organized, achieve appropriate levels of correctness, and are crafted with specified purposes for identified audiences. This class is organized around a theme chosen by the instructor.

World Prehistory: A Brief Introduction

Written by one of the leading archaeological writers in the world -― in a simple, jargon-free narrative style ―- this brief, well-illustrated account of the major developments in the human past makes world prehistory uniquely accessible to complete beginners.

Written by Brian Fagan, World Prehistory covers the entire world, not just the Americas or Europe, and places major emphasis on both theories and the latest archaeological and multidisciplinary approaches. His focus is on four major developments in world prehistory: 1) The origins of humanity. 2) The appearance and spread of modern humans before and during the late Ice Age- including the first settlement of the Americas. 3) The beginnings of food production. 4) The rise of the first civilizations.

World Prehistory

This survey course introduces students to the origins of human diversity by tracing the origins of humanity and material culture from its ancient beginnings to the first literate societies. Through readings, videos, the Internet, and other materials, students will journey to Africa, Mesopotamia, Asia, India, Europe and the Americas as they learn about human adaptations to both the natural and cultural environments. This course may involve a service learning project.

Introductory Chemistry

With an expanded focus on critical thinking and problem solving, the new edition of Introductory Chemistry: Concepts and Critical Thinking prepares readers for success in introductory chemistry. Unlike other introductory chemistry texts, all materials –the textbook, student solutions manual, laboratory manual, instructor’s manual and test item file – are written by the author and tightly integrated to work together most effectively. Math and problem solving are covered early in the text; Corwin builds reader confidence and ability through innovative pedagogy and technology formulated to meet the needs of today’s learners.

Introduction to Chemistry

From consumer products to space age technologies, chemistry affects our daily lives. In this course, students will learn the structure of matter and how it behaves under various conditions in order to better understand the chemical world. Designed for students with little or no chemistry background, this course can stand alone or be followed by CHEM&131; not intended for students continuing to CHEM&161. Laboratory activities extend lecture concepts and introduce the student to the experimental process.

Macroeconomics

This is an introductory course in principles of macroeconomics. Macroeconomics studies aggregate economic phenomena such as inflation, economic growth and recession, and unemployment, and addresses issues related to economic growth and the role of government policies in maintaining a healthy, prosperous economy. The goal of the course is to enable students to think about aggregate economic issues in an insightful manner, and to critically evaluate the economic information and analysis provided in popular news publications.

Microeconomics

This course examines the market system and the role of government in the economy. Students learn to analyze resource and income distribution, assess consumer and business behavior, and evaluate price determination and production cost. Students will also be able to identify the economic and socio-political forces that impact consumer demand, business production, and exchange within both domestic and international markets.

Survey of the Kingdoms

Students will gain an understanding of the vast diversity of living things and their adaptations to their environment from an evolutionary perspective. They will examine the ecological relationships among all life on the planet.

General Physics

This course is the first in a three quarter sequence designed for liberal arts and other majors that do not require calculus-based physics. Students will learn and apply the laws that govern motion, explore the relationship between work and energy, and examine momentum. Laboratory activities extend lecture concepts and introduce the student to the experimental process.

Introduction to Astronomy

In this course, students will study the physical characteristics of celestial bodies from our closest neighbor, the moon, to the most distant galaxies. Students will be able to explain how past astronomers investigated the universe and the theories they developed to explain their observations. Students will familiarize themselves with recent observations and discover the foundations for modern astronomical theories. Astronomical observations will be applied through activities, laboratories, and simulations.
