4.00 Credits
An algebra-based course for students needing a fuller introduction to physics than would be found in a general education/survey course. Topics include straight-line and circular motion, Newtons Laws, torque & static equilibrium, conservation of energy, fluids, thermal physics & thermodynamics, periodic motion. Optional topics are free energy. Applications will be drawn from several areas, including (but not limited to) those appropriate to the biological/medical/health career fields. Concepts of right-triangle trigonometry will be introduced as needed.(3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab). Prerequisite: Completion of either MATH 1150 or MATH 1180 with a C or better OR eligibility for either MATH 1170 or MATH 1221 through College math placement score OR consent of the instructor.

An algebra-based course for students needing a fuller introduction to physics than would be found in a general education/survey course. Topics include: wave motion, sound, optics, electricity, DC circuits, magnetism, interactions between radiation & matter. Optional topics are feedback processes. Applications will be drawn from several areas, including (but not limited to) those appropriate to the biological/medical/health career fields. This course may be taken before or after PHYS 1201. Concepts of motion, energy, and right-triangle trigonometry will be introduced as needed. (4 hours lecture, 2 hours lab). Prerequisite: Completion of either MATH 1150 or MATH 1180 with a C or better OR eligibility for either MATH 1170 or MATH 1221 through College math placement score OR consent of the instructor.

5.00 Credits
This is the first course of a two-semester sequence for any student needing a physics course that includes applications of calculus. Topics include kinematics, dynamics, conservation of energy and momentum, rotational motion, static equilibrium, gravitation, periodic motion and thermal physics. Optional topics are fluids and thermodynamics. The course meets requirements for students majoring in engineering, mathematics, computer science or any of the physical sciences. (4 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory) Prerequisite: Math 1221 or consent of instructor.

1.00 - 4.00 Credits
In this class, we will introduce topics in astronomy and apply physical laws to them. Topics include orbits, planets, light, relativity, stars, black holes, galaxies, and cosmology. For example, once black holes are introduced, you will be able to relate their mass to their Schwarzschild radii and how the of time changes near them. Once fusion is introduced, you'll be able to determine the energy given off by different fusion reactions and relate them to the luminosities of stars. For orbits, we will use computer simulations to study the effect of different arrangements and conditions. A previous class in physics or astronomy is strongly recommended. This course will provide flexibility in offering an in-depth review of topics of immediate importance and topical interest. These topics will go beyond the introductory courses in examining specific aspects of the subject matter.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will assist students in developing their individualized studies degree plan while focusing on the central question of "what does it mean to be an educated person". Upon completion of the course, students will have a completed Degree Plan. This course is by permission only and can only be registered upon after acceptance into the Individualized Studies Program.
-
1.00 Credits
This course will assist students in assessing what they have learned, whether some of that learning may be appropriate for assessment of college credit, and how to go about earning that credit. This course will allow students to begin the development of a portfolio for assessment of credit by a faculty member.
-
0.00 Credits
This workshop will help develop a plan of action to determine if Credit for Prior Learning is an option for the degree-seeking student. After completing this workshop, the student will know if they have the necessary components and knowledge to move forward to earn credit alternatively.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the paralegal profession, including the nature of paralegal work, job requirements and opportunities. Students will study the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct and the ethical standards applicable to paralegals. The students will learn about the American legal system, including sources of law, court systems and procedures. The students will study the relationship between state and federal laws and procedure and alternative dispute resolution. Students will also study the substantive areas of torts and criminal law. PSEO students may not register for this course until they have completed all general education courses required for the Paralegal A.S. degree.
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents a study of the computer software commonly used in legal organizations, including programs in word processing, spreadsheets, database management systems, timekeeping and billing, case management and docket control, litigation support, presentation graphics, and electronic mail. Students will also study legal ethics as applied to the use of computer technology in the law office. CIS 1000 or knowledge of keyboard recommended. Prerequisite: PLeg 1111
