3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of child sexual abuse and Traumatic Stress Disorders: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) through a combination of reading, experiential/small group exercises, presentations, and lecture. Students will learn basic concepts of a trauma theory, Constructivist Self Development Theory (CSDT), the signs and symptoms of PTSD/ASD, and how traumatic events affect an individual's thoughts and behaviors. The emphasis is on developing basic knowledge (i.e., fundamentals of how trauma affects an individual, signs and symptoms of trauma reactions, appropriate level treatment options and self care techniques for the client and worker). Application to special populations will be explored. Note: This course meets the MHRT/Community Requirement Trauma, Sexual Abuse, and Recovery. Prerequisite: BHS 101 with grade of "C" or better or department approval

3.00 Credits
This course is designed for students needing an introductory college level science class. Students will have a good understanding of the marine environment as the course begins with a brief overview of basic physical, chemical and geologic oceanography. A discussion of major phyla in each marine kingdom will include taxonomy, evolution, ecology and concerns relating to future survival/extinction of groups under consideration. Laboratory exercises are designed to give a "hands on" opportunity to further enhance students' appreciation of the incredible diversity of sea life. Prerequisites: ENG 080; ENG 090

4.00 Credits
This course brings together the various disciplines of biology, botany, zoology, ecology, geology, hydrology, and oceanography to study the biodiversity of the Casco Bay area. Students will gain field and laboratory experience as naturalists in the identifiaction, taxonomy and natural history of selected plants, animals, fungi and ecosystems common in this bioregion. Ecological relationships are explored, and concepts such as evolution are examined. The importance of appreciating and conserviing our local biodiversity is emphasized. Prerequisite(s): MAT 020
-
4.00 Credits
This survey course is designed to provide students with a sound foundation in basic principles and unifying concepts of modern biology.Topic selection is based on traditional levels of organization in living organisms, their value in illustrating basic principles, their importance as prerequisite knowledge for successful completion of advanced biology courses, and their importance as general knowledge for all members of society. Major topics are supported by appropriate laboratory activities. Prerequisites: ENG 080; ENG 090; Corequisite(s): MAT 050.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course designed to introduce students to the structures and functions of plants and the science of plant systems. The objective of the course is to provide the fundamentals of plant biology, ecology and taxonomy that will foster greater confidence and success in identifying, growing and maintaining plants.

3.00 Credits
This is the first semester lecture of a two semester Biology sequence intended for biology/science majors or students looking to transfer laboratory science credits. Biology I lecture concentrates on the molecular aspects of biology, cell structure and function, homeostasis, energy transformations, and genetics. Students should strongly consider taking Biology I laboratory in conjunction with this lecture class. Biology II concentrates on biological diversity, evolution and ecology. Biology I is a prerequisite for Biology II. Prerequisites: ENG 080; ENG 090; MAT 050.
-
1.00 Credits
This is the first semester laboratory of a two semester Biology sequence intended for biology/science majors or students looking to transfer laboratory science credits. This laboratory component is intended to provide students with experiential learning in support of concepts and principles introduced in the lecture class. Biology I lecture must be taken prior to, or concurrently with, Biology I laboratory. Biology I lecture and laboratory are prerequisites for the Biology II courses. Prerequisites: ENG 080; ENG 090; MAT 050.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the second semester lecture of a two semester Biology sequence intended for biology/science majors or students looking to transfer laboratory science credits. Biology II lecture concentrates on living organisms at structural levels above the molecular and cellular levels addressed in Biology I. Specific topics include taxonomy and the principles of biological diversity, evolution, and ecology. Students should strongly consider taking Biology II laboratory in conjunction with this lecture class. Prerequisites: BIO 122.
