0.00 - 3.00 Credits
This course will provide student with basic understanding of assessment concepts and terminology. In addition, the course will introduce students to theories and techniques of analyzing and writing tests for English Language Learners (ELL). Looking at both standardized tests and classroom-specific tests, the course will provide understanding of the variables that need to be considered when choosing and devising tests, specifically for second language learners. The course will also examine various standardized tests currently used for assessing English Language Learners and will explore alternate ways of assessing students' learning. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency
-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
This course will include observation of experienced ESL teachers, as well as supervised teaching in an ESL setting. It will include evaluating course materials and planning and implementing of lesson plans that apply TESOL theory and methodology in the language classroom. Prerequisite: EDU 121 -OR- PSY 121 -AND- ENG 127, ENG 128, ENG 261, ENG 262, ENG 265, ENG 267, ENG 268, CMM 127.

2.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Formerly GEO 120) This course is designed for students of non-science or science major who are interested in physical features related to our dynamic earth. Topics of the course include some fundamental concepts and features in geology, meteorology and astronomy, such as earthquakes, volcanic activities weathering process, surface water, atmosphere components, weather, the universe, the solar system, etc. Course materials are organized to enable students to understand how different components of our dynamic earth are related to one another. Most topics are assisted with hands-on lab exercises. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency and Basic Algebra Readiness Course fee IAI: P1 905L
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Formerly GEO 121) For those who wish to explore an interest in geology, major in geology, or satisfy lab science requirements. Topics include igneous rocks and volcanism, sedimentary rocks and stratigraphy, metamorphic rocks and metamorphism, weathering, mass wasting, streams, deserts and glaciers. Lab studies concentrate on minerals, rocks and topographic maps. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency and Basic Algebra Readiness Course fee IAI: P1 907L
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Formerly GEO 122) Primarily for those majoring in geology or those who wish to understand the geologic evolution of North America. Combines a regional and topical approach to continental development, crustal structure, and mountain building. Regional stratigraphy is integrated with the origin and evolution of plants and animals. Lab topics include structural geology, geologic maps, fossils, and a mapping project. Prerequisite: GEO 121 Course fee
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
For the non-science major or those who wish to gain a comprehensive overview of the science of meteorology. The primary goal of this course is to help students become better educated consumers of the massive amount of weather information now available to them. Topics will include high and low pressure systems, fronts, clouds, the jet stream, winter precipitation, thunderstorms and severe weather, hurricanes, air-ocean interactions (El Nino and La Nina), weather analysis, an introduction to weather forecasting, and human impacts on weather and climate. The student should be comfortable with interpreting maps, charts, and diagrams. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency and Basic Algebra Readiness
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Formerly GEO 124) For the non-science major or those who wish to gain a comprehensive overview of the science of oceanography. Topics include a history of oceanographic investigations; topography, structure, and evolution of the ocean basin; chemical and physical properties of ocean water and water masses; waves; tides; oceanic circulation; shoreline processes; estuaries; marine sediments; hurricanes; resources; fisheries; and ecology. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency and Basic Algebra Readiness IAI: P1 905
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
(Formerly GEO 124) A survey of the principle aspects of Illinois geology, with emphasis on the landforms, rocks, soil, structure and glacial history of Illinois and parts of adjacent states. Also active geologic processes today, resource development, land and water use and management. Prerequisite: Language Proficiency and Basic Algebra Readiness
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Formerly AST 121) A one-semester survey course primarily for non-science majors. The course will provide an introduction to the basic concepts of astronomy. Topics will include: the solar system, evolution of stars, the Milky Way and beyond. Additionally, the tools and historical development of the science will be explored. Labs will include (but not limited to): Observations, measurements, data gathering and analysis, recording and identifying objects in the night sky. (Some night observations will be required.)
