The course emphasizes a deeper understanding of Deaf norms, allowing students to learn appropriate behavior in order to function comfortably in a wide variety of situations in the Deaf community. (Offered: Periodically) Prereq: ASL 101 and 102, or permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of major groups of animals through studying how representative species carry on life sustaining functions such as reproduction, feeding, waste removal, response to stimuli, and respiration. Students study the classification of animals and how they relate to their environment. In the laboratory, students study the structure and behavior of preserved and live animals from each of the major groups. (Offered: Every Spring) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of plants through exploring the structure and function of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. Students study the processes of reproduction, respiration, photosynthesis, and inheritance. In the laboratory, students study the structure and function of live and preserved plant materials as they relate to lecture subjects. Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
Environmental studies with emphasis on concepts of ecology, conservation of natural resources and their relationship to the quality of life. Lab sessions focus on forest, field, stream, and pond habitats, with field trips to local sites. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory study of plants and animals in their natural environment including the historical and biological processes that have led to the present day landscape of southern New England. Topics may include a survey of local flora and fauna, species identification, survival strategies, conservation, evolution, disturbance history and interpretation, biodiversity, animal tracks and sign, water resources and food webs. Field trips to local natural history sites and a project focusing on a natural area enhance student observation skills and understanding of class topics. (Offered: Every Fall) Prereq: COL 090, ENG 090 and MAT 090 or satisfactory placement test scores
-
3.00 Credits
Presents a comprehensive examination of human anatomy and physiology with particular emphasis on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It highlights the anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system, as well as the autonomic and somatic peripheral nervous systems. This course surveys other body systems, including topics in geriatrics and infection control. The course satisfies course requirement for PMC Advanced Life Support students. It does not satisfy course requirement for LPN, ADN, and MTC students. PMC students must receive a minimum final grade of "C" in this course to maintain eligibility in the Paramedic Certificate Program. (Offered: Every Fall) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
Provides an overview of the principles of environmental sciences with the overall objective of increasing student awareness and understanding of regional, national, and global environmental issues. Students focus on environmental problems, ecological principles, human population, natural resources, environmental quality, pollution, biodiversity, and conservation. Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
Provides an overview of the ecology of freshwater habitats and freshwater organisms. The course emphasizes the study of wetlands (marshes, bogs, swamps and vernal ponds), streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and the biological communities (including plants, insects, fish, reptiles and amphibians) that they support. Students utilize fish-stocked recirculating tanks to conduct experiments and study the science of aquaculture (aquatic plant and animal farming). Students study the composition and conditions of freshwater habitats and go on field trips to different freshwater sites. (Offered: Every Spring) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
Provides knowledge on how to propagate and care for plants through experiences with soils, seeds, bulbs, potting, watering, pruning, dividing, terrariums, and fertilizers. Students learn how to design and manage a vegetable garden for maximum harvest. The laboratory sessions provide experiences with plants, such as mixing soil, planting seeds, taking cuttings, potting up plants, fertilizing plants, plant growth, constructing terrariums, and a trip to a local plant growing business. NOTE: Credit can be granted for BIO 111 or BIO 124, but not for both. (Offered: Every Fall) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic mechanisms of life. Major topics include the biochemical basis of life, cell structure, DNA structure and replication, protein synthesis, mitosis, meiosis, inheritance, respiration, photosynthesis, and biotechnology. Students use the scientific method in laboratory experiences that include selected topics in cell structure, cell functions, mitosis and meiosis, genetics, enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis, developmental biology, and microbiology. NOTE: Credit can be granted for BIO 119 or BIO 126, but not both. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: Placement beyond or satisfactory completion of COL 090 and ENG 090 and MAT 090
