ESCI110M - Earth Science This course will explore the basics of Earth Science including geology, meteorology, and astronomy. The geology section will include the many Earth processes that change the face of the planet such as plate tectonics and erosion. In meteorology, the students will study the way weather is created and its effects both globally and locally. The study of astronomy will include our solar system, stars, and galaxies. Also covered will be possible origins of the universe as well as our place in it. Prerequisite: Placement into ENGL 110M

MATH155M - College Algebra with Trigonometry This course covers the essentials of numerical algebra, geometry, and trigonometry and is designed for science, engineering, technology, computer science, and mathematics students. It provides a solid preparation for student toward Precalculus and Calculus track. A short review of elementary algebra is followed by an introduction to geometric and trigonometric functions. Applied problems are solved by integrating the above mathematical strategies. The trigonometric functions include ratios in solving right triangles and vector applications, and Law of Sines and Cosines in solving oblique triangles. Prerequisite: MATH151M with a grade of “C” or better, satisfactory placement test scores, or permission from the Mathematics Program Coordinator, the Department Chair, or a full time mathematics faculty member.

NURS211M - Nursing III: CMC-D200 The student continues to develop competence to provide and manage care for patients and their families across the life span in structured health care settings. The student provides support and teaching to the patient and family and direct care for the patient. The scope of the course includes the Functional Health Patterns of Activity Exercise, Elimination, Nutrition Metabolic, Self-Perception and Coping Stress Tolerance. Intellectual, interpersonal and psychomotor competencies are further developed. Needs of patients across the life span are emphasized with special focus on adults, children in childbearing and child rearing families, and psychiatric/mental health care settings.The student will plan the care of the patient/family by utilizing the Nursing Process. Direct care will be provided to patients with common health problems. Laboratory learning provides opportunities to practice increasingly complex nursing skills in simulated activities. Clinical learning experiences are provided for the student in adult health care settings, and psychiatric/mental health, or perinatal / pediatric settings.

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)
