The course includes a hands-on laboratory component. Prerequisites: MAT 112 and NSC 120 or their equivalents. (2 s.h.)
-
4.00 Credits
A general introduction to astronomy for science and non-science majors. The necessary physics to understand astronomy will be introduced such as gravitational motion, the electromagnetic spectrum and atomic and nuclear physics.

For students who desire to appreciate the underlying laws of the physical world, their beauty and orderliness, but lack the mathematical expertise to study physics; and for those who believe that reality is rational, but personal experience limits and prejudices common sense. The principle text has the name of the course, Physics for Poets, and in a conversational manner traverses Einstein's world of space and time, relativity, and the strange, paradoxical world of quantum physics. Students will conduct "thought experiments" similar tothe ones that led Einstein to modern theories of space and time. Readings and discussions will be supplemented by Stephen Barr's Modern Physics and Ancient Faith, a physicist's exploration of faith-science integrative issues. Weekly afternoon labs will complement classroom discussions. Satisfies core requirement for a laboratory science. Prerequisite: 2 s.h. of college level mathematics such as MAT 112, 113 or 151.

-
2.00 Credits
A survey of the methods, skills and strategies associated with the teaching of science in the late middle school and secondary level. The course engages students in observation, analysis, development and execution of science lessons utilizing various methods and strategies. The course is offered on an arranged basis. (2 s.h.) The courses in Philosophy are designed to support a variety of major programs or to become part of an Interdisciplinary program.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the discipline of philosophical reflection. Particular attention will be focused on such issues as the nature of human knowledge, alternative understandings of reality, and the nature and purpose of human life. Prerequisite: THE 240 and LAR 112 or instructor approval. (3 s.h.)
