library, and create persuasive print and digital texts. Credits: 3 ** Generally, English Comp I, English Comp II, and an Oral Communications class at other colleges will satisfy CM1003 and CM1013. All three courses must be successfully completed at another college to count for the two CM courses above. LR 1222 Introduction to Computer Applications This course introduces the Microsoft Office software applications of word processing (Word), spreadsheet (Excel), data base (Access), and presentation (Power Point). The emphasis of this class is on the concepts and hands-on teaching of computing and problem solving. The internet, as well as email etiquette, web browsers, web search, and desktop operating systems will be introduced. Concepts and procedures will be introduced and discussed in the lecture prior to the hands-on lab where students apply learned skills. Independent projects will be completed that coincide with each software application. A passing grade in this course fulfills the computer proficiency graduation requirement. Credits: 2 ** Students may test of out of this requirement with a passing grade on the computer proficiency test given in your first semester at <strong>Unity</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Math courses: Courses with a course code of MA Examples: MA 1223 Algebra and Trigonometry This course is a sequel to LR 1123 and concludes our algebra sequence. Students continue their study of algebra and analytical geometry, and begin their study of trigonometry. Further topics from algebra including exponential and logarithmic functions, along with introductory topics from trigonometry including circular functions, trigonometric and invers trigonometric functions, and solutions to right and oblique triangles will be studied. The course is designed to develop an understanding of the topics from algebra and trigonometry essential to the study of calculus. Credits: 3 MA 2243 Elementary Statistics This course deals with various introductory topics from probability and statistics with emphasis on the interpretation of experimental data. Students will study descriptive statistics, probability distributions. And inferential statistics (tests of hypotheses). In addition, students will actually do statistics using technology tools such as the TI-83 calculator, Microsoft Excel or the campus wide statistics package JMP. Credits: 3 MA 2333 Calculus I Calculus is the mathematics of change. Calculus I deals with an introduction and treatment of the major concepts and techniques of differential calculus. Students will study the heuristic, visual and algebraic approaches to: difference equations, limits, and rates of change of functions (derivatives). Applications of derivatives will include optimization and differential equations used in modeling. Credits: 3 Physical Science courses: Courses with a course code of CH, GL, PS (The course that fulfills this requirement must have a lab component) Examples: CH 1104 General Chemistry I This first part of a two-semester course is designed to provide an introduction to the nature and properties of matter at the atomic and molecular level. Topics covered will include chemical problem solving, measurement, significant figures, components of matter, aqueous solutions, origin of atoms, structure of atoms, structure and reactivity of molecules, and chemical reactions. Credits: 4
GL 1003 Physical Geology Physical Geology is the gateway course to the geosciences and serves to introduce students to the fundamental components of the Earth-Atmosphere system. Our exploration into the field of geology begins with some basic principles and mapping, and rapidly shifts into hard-rock geology (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks), composition of Earth materials, and soils. From there, we move into a water-related section of the course covering stream processes and other surficial waters, groundwater, and glaciers. We conclude with a section on plate tectonics, structural geology, natural hazards, and volcanoes. The geosciences is a discipline that emphasizes observation and visualization, hence, lectures are riddled with images of the landscape, animations, and schematics to aid in understanding the physical environment. Labs serve as a critical complement to course material by providing hands-on exercises, opportunities for first-hand visualization, and other applied learning activities. A lot of the geosciences rely heavily upon observation of the natural environment, and many of our labs include fieldtrips to do just that. Students should possess basic reading, comprehension, and computation skills in order to successfully complete this course and its lab components. Credits: 3 PS 2303 General Physics I The first in a two-semester sequence, this course focuses on energy and mechanics. Topics covered include motion and force. The associated laboratory section includes both hands-on and computerized explorations. Credits: 3 Life Science course: Courses with a course code of BI (The course that fulfills this requirement must have a lab component) Example: BI 1114 Biology: Diversity of Life Skills and foundational knowledge in this course prepare students to be knowledgeable citizens of a planet with numerous environmental challenges, most of which are based in biology. Students will engage in scientific inquiry, gain a clear sense of the nature and process of science, use quantitative information, develop professional communication skills, and appreciate the role of natural history in science. Topics will include the study of DNA and inheritance, the evolution of life, systematics and classification, matter and energy transfer through ecosystems, and ecological connections made relevant through the study of current environmental issues. Credits: 4 Social Science courses: Courses with a course code of AN (except AN 3003), EC, GY, SY, PL, PY Examples: AN 1123 Cultural Anthropology Anthropology is the study of culture as a human creation: its origins, development or evolution, and possible future. The course covers the range of variation in human life-styles and basic cultural similarities. There will be an examination of selected tribal, peasant, and industrial cultures, with an emphasis on how biological, cultural, and ecological factors shape them. Comparative technology, kinship, social structure, religion, magic, art, economics, cultural change, and applied anthropology will be discussed. Credits: 3 EC 2013 Introduction to Economics and Economic Criticism This course examines the basic principles of neo-classical economics. It includes supply-demand theory, consumer choice theory, and theory of the firm. Macroeconomic and trade theories are also introduced. In each case students briefly examine the major alternate points of view. Students solve basic problems and perform calculations using the theories learned. Credits: 3
