ENGL214M - Creative Non-Fiction In this course students are introduced to the fourth genre of writing, creative nonfiction. Students learn to incorporate the techniques of fiction such as scenes, dialog, descriptions, and conflict/resolution into original pieces of nonfiction. Drawing on course readings for essay models and idea development, students produce creative nonfiction works such as the personal essay, the memoir, nature and science writing, and literary journalism. Peer review and instructor feedback constitute a significant component of the course. Prerequisite: ENGL 109M or ENGL110M. (Fulfills English or Humanities requirement.)

PSPT104M is a spring semester course. A minimum grade of C is required to continue on to PSPT105M.Prerequisites: PSPT103M with a minimum grade of C.

HFIT213M - Resistance Training

ETEC160M - Commercial and Industrial Wiring This course presents comprehensive coverage of the requirements and methods for wiring commercial and industrial installations. The subject matter will include interpretation and analysis of electrical schematics, load calculations, equipment types and applications, special occupancies, special equipment, and special conditions as they relate to these installation types. The National Electrical Code will be an integral part of this course. The material presented in this course satisfies NH Electrical Apprentice training requirements. Laboratory work will reinforce and promote the application of theoretical concepts. Prerequisites: ETEC120M and MATH135M, or permission of Program Coordinator. Corequisite: MATH151M

HVAC109M - Related Electricity I Theory Theory work on the principles of DC and AC electricity that are fundamental to the HVAC area. These include: Ohm’s law, series circuits, parallel circuits, meters, wire gauges, magnetism, AC generation, AC calculations, and basic electric motor principles. Students must be simultaneously enrolled in HVAC110M. It is recommended that students have successfully completed or are simultaneously enrolled in HVAC101M.

ARTS210M - Painting I Students will acquire painting skills. There will be experimentaiton with several painting mediums including: watercolor, gouache, acrylics and oils. Tools and techniques will be demonstrated, examined and used. Some basic drawing abilities are helpful but not required. (Fulfills Fine Arts requirement.)

NURS111M - Nursing I: Simulation 5 Students begin learning the roles of the Associate Degree Nurse as a provider and manager of care and member of the discipline of nursing. Students develop beginning intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies to assess well patients and patients with common actual or possible alterations in health. The roles of the nurse, communication theory, life span development, ethical-legal standards, and nursing process are basic concepts to the practice of nursing for the Associate Degree Nurse. Students are introduced to the concept that the person is a system in dynamic interaction with the internal and external environments. The eleven Functional Health Patterns organize the study of concepts common to a basic knowledge of the patient's state of wellness and possible or actual health problems. The Learning laboratory provides opportunities to practice nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning provides experiences to practice nursing by caring for well patients or patients with common basic health problems in structured health settings – long term/sub-acute care.
