3.00 Credits
Examination of philosophical ideas in the West from early Greece to the end of the fifteenth century. Prerequisite: PHI130 or ENL101 recommended / 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Philosophical ideas in the West from the sixteenth century to the present. Prerequisite: PHI130 or ENL101 recommended / 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course will engage in a critical examination of a number of contemporary seminal ideas central to the human experience of both Eastern and Western thinkers. Students will study the writings of three major thinkers in the history of ideas. The three will be announced before pre-registration each semester and will vary from semester to semester, so the course will never be the same. Students will explore the ideas in the course for internal consistency and for the historical context in which they arose, as well as the actual consequences those ideas have had in human affairs. Prerequisite: ENL101 and a previous philosophy course / 3 credits. May be repeated once.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the student with a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted view toward life which has come to be known as existentialism. Social, moral, legal, religious, literary, as well as epistemological and metaphysical aspects of the existentialistic point of view, will be considered. Prerequisite: ENL101 or PHI130 / 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a rigorous and thorough examination of the major ethical theories in the history of Western philosophy, covering the work of such philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Augustine, Aquinas, Kant, Hobbes, Rousseau, Nietzsche, Mill, Marx, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Ayer, and contemporary writers such as Callahan, Raz, Rawls, Nozick, and Frankl. The early part of the course is a study of metaethics and of the terminology used in doing ethical analysis. The body of the course involves the study of five major theories of normative ethics: natural law theories, social contract theories, dutybased (deontological) theories, utilitarian (teleological) theories, and existentialist theories. Skeptical alternatives to these theories will also be considered. In the last month of the semester, each student is expected to focus on a project dealing with a specific ethical theory or problem area. Prerequisite: ENL101 or PHI130 / 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will serve as a vehicle to either deepen students' knowledge of subjects addressed in Philosophy introductory courses or explore issues outside the traditional curriculum. Prerequisite: Any introductory level Philosophy course / 3 credits. May be repeated once; 6 credit maximum.
-
2.00 Credits
First semester of a two-semester introduction to college physics without calculus. This course covers mechanics (kinematics, dynamics and statics), relativity and some heat. The course is appropriate for any student interested in science and particularly appropriate for health sciences and preprofessional students. (3 class hours/ 2 laboratory hours) Prerequisite: MAT040 or satisfactory basic skills assessment score / 4 credits. Offered in the Fall and Summer.
-
3.00 Credits
Second semester of a two-semester introduction to college physics without calculus. This course covers vibrations and waves; electricity and magnetism; light and optics; and some modern physics. The course is appropriate for non-science majors who are interested in science. (3 class hours / 2 laboratory hours) Prerequisite: PHY101 / 4 credits. Offered in the Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Classical and modern physics presented conceptually and experimentally for students desiring a one-semester introduction to physics. The class will emphasize verbal and conceptual understanding of the way the world works using as little mathematics as possible. This course is appropriate for non-science majors and as a preparation for PHY211. (3 class hours / 2 laboratory hours) Prerequisite: MAT030 or satisfactory basic skills assessment score / 4 credits. The following two courses constitute a traditional university parallel calculusbased physics sequence. These courses are appropriate for math, science, and engineering students.
-
3.00 Credits
A laboratory portion of existing physical science courses that will provide a laboratory experience for only those students who are transferring in credits for physical sciences courses that do not match the traditional fourcredit format (3 credits lecture, 1 credit laboratory). The laboratory selected must closely match the transferred physical science course, and must have the explicit approval of both the laboratory instructor and Dean of Arts and Sciences. Only if seating is available will students be allowed to register for the appropriate laboratory section during the ADD period. Students who transfer in more than one physical science course may register twice (but, not for the same laboratory experience) for PHY199. Students with laboratory deficiencies in physical sciences courses taken at CCCC will not be allowed to register for PHY199, since the physical sciences courses are designed and taught such that the laboratory and lecture are non-separable. Prerequisite: Completion of the nonlab portion of a transferred physical sciences course and permission of the Dean of Arts and Sciences / 1 credit.
