ENGL220M - Advanced Composition: Medium Message and Mode From ads to memes to media, persuasion is everywhere, and learning to recognize and evaluate it is an essential skill for the 21st century. College Composition II builds on the foundation of research, writing, and rhetoric established in College Composition I, but goes deeper into the study of rhetoric – the use of speech, writing, and visual images to persuade, motivate, and inform a target audience. Topics of study include the rhetorical situation, classical and modern persuasive appeals, and the ethics of argumentation. We’ll look at how rhetoric shapes our daily lives, and how we can use it to navigate power and produce social change. We’ll consider the impact of medium on messaging, and how to select and organize information effectively for various modes of expression. In addition to skill-building assignments, students will create three substantial persuasive projects using written, spoken, and visual rhetoric. Prerequisites: ENGL 110M/110XM with a grade of C or better. (Fulfills English requirement)

MATH145M - Quantitative Reasoning This course is designed to expose the student to a wide range of general mathematics.

ECE200M - ECE Curriculum: Math Science and Creative Thinking This course will focus on the STEAM concepts of creative thinking & problem solving, rather than a collection of facts to be memorized, as a basis for learning in math and science. The theoretical and developmental knowledge necessary to effectively teach the basic concepts of math and science to young children will be reviewed. Students will develop their skills in preparing developmentally appropriate activities that promote curiosity, creativity, problem solving and exploration. The interrelationships between math, science and other areas of the curriculum (particularly literacy and the arts) will be explored. Students will need access to young children to complete required assignments. Students are required to purchase a Taskstream electronic portfolio subscription. Prerequisites: ECE 100 & ECE 104

BIOL120M - Human Anatomy and Physiology II This course is a continuation of Human Anatomy & Physiology I. The course includes current in-depth information of the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive, respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, urinary, and reproductive systems. Laboratory work augments lecture topics and includes exercises in microscopy, the study of fresh and preserved specimens, models, and physiological measurements on the human body. Pre-requisite of C or better in BIOL 110M or permission of the instructor.

MKTG125M - Principles of Marketing: A Global Perspective This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the entire marketing process from a managerial point of view.

(Fulfills Social Science Requirement)

HUMA215M - Giving Voice: Human Communication in Nursing The Human Communication in Nursing course seeks to prepare students entering the healthcare field with essential communication, conflict management, and relationship skills. The course serves as a preceptorship class in which students will learn the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor, to navigate difficult conversations, and to communicate clearly with a multidisciplinary team during an emergency. Upon successful completion of the course, students will enter the field with the skills necessary to serve as a preceptor once they have received the proper orientation and skillset at an organization. The course is also one steeped in the Humanities. Students will consider how the narrative form (story) and reflection intersect with healthcare, specifically the nursing profession and patient care. Through this exploration students will hone their communication skills and reflect on the humanity of their practice. The course employs literature, film, autoethnography, journaling, and creative nonfiction to shape the relationship of both caregiver and patient. In addition to preceptorship preparation, students will engage in scholarship and story composition through the construction of a memoir.
