3.00 Credits
3 credits (Fall Semester) Students taking this class will gain knowledge and application skills in critical thinking. Specific topics include examining what critical thinking is, informal fallacies, problem solving, and logical analysis. Students will learn to analyze informa-tion from a wide range of contexts and reach well reasoned conclusions. This course is cross-referenced with PSY 160.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits (Intermittently) This course explores the existentialists, Kierkegaard, Jaspers, Heidegger, Sartre, Marcel, Camus and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, on such topics as the mystery of existence, the limits of language and knowledge, time conscious-ness, anxiety, freedom, feeling, finitude, guilt, the poetry of inwardness, transcendence, the search for meaning, and the authentic life.

3 credits (Intermittently) Prerequisites: PHIL 110H, REL 110G or instructor's consent. The 20th century experienced the development of two of the most important social movements in history, the freedom movement in India and the civil rights movement in the United States. Both these movements were based on and directed by the idea of non-violence as a religion/ philosophy of social change. This course will explore the development of the intellectual ideas and the social mani-festation of this religion/philosophy of non-violence. Using the lives of M.K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. as the guides, the course will consider how the religion/philoso-phy of non-violence was developed and how it was used to change the largest democracy in the world (India) and the most powerful nation in the world (the United States). This course is cross-referenced with REL 225.

3.00 Credits
3 credits (Intermittently) Analysis of the various attempts (from Plato to Marx) to explain, instruct and justify the distribution of political pow-er in society. Emphasis is placed upon those theories whose primary concern is to define the nature of the ethical "good" society. This course is cross-referenced with PLSC 250HB.

3.00 Credits
3 credits (Spring Semester) An introduction to the history of astronomy, tools of the as-tronomer, the solar system, stellar bodies and phenomena, and the origin and evolution of the universe. This course is cross-referenced with NSCI 105N.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits (Fall Semester) Prerequisites: appropriate placement test score, a grade of "B-" or better in MATH 103 . This course is an introduction to the basic physics of ion-izing electromagnetic radiation with specific applications to diagnostic x-ray radiography. Topics include the principles, concepts, and practices of scientific measurement, the basic principles of atomic and molecular structure, matter, work, energy, power, electricity including electrostatics, electrody-namics, and electromagnetism, the production of ionizing electromagnetic radiation, its properties, its interaction with matter, and fundamentals of radiation dosimetry.

5 credits (Fall Semester) Prerequisites: MATH 111M or equivalent, and high school trigonometry. This is the first semester of a two-semester sequence for students who need physics to support work in other fields. It may not be used as a prerequisite for advanced work in physics. The mathematical study, using algebraic, trigo-nometric, and vector methods, of Newtonian mechanics of solids and fluids including forces, motion both linear and rotational, equilibrium, work and energy, momentum, conservation laws, kinetic theory and thermodynamics, and vibrational and wave motion. Laboratory work is included.
