3.00 Credits
Is an introductory course in American Sign Language, used by a majority of deaf people in the United States. Students focus on basic expressive and receptive conversational skills and ASL grammar. Highlights of the deaf culture are discussed. Offered: Fall
-
3.00 Credits
Is a continuation of ASL 101. Students improve their basic ASL grammar, and receptive and expressive skills. Limited involvement with deaf individuals improves students' conversational skills and an awareness of the deaf culture. Prerequisite: ASL 101 with a grade of C or higher Offered: Spring
-
4.00 Credits
Is a continuation of BIO 101. The course includes the origin and classification of plants and animals. Emphasis is placed on animal and plant anatomy, and physiology. Evolutionary relationships between animal species, including human, are also examined. The course's laboratory portion relates to the lecture by observation of various organisms in the animal and plant kingdoms, including dissection of a fetal pig, frog, starfish, grasshopper, crayfish, clam, earthworm, roundworm and various plant specimens. Students use microscopes to examine different tissue types, and computer programs and videos for study of selected topics within the animal and plant kingdoms. (BIO 102 can be taken before BIO 101.) Prerequisites: Completion of ENG 98, if required; and either high school biology, high school chemistry or CHM 100 Offered: Spring
-
4.00 Credits
Is the first semester of a two-semester study of environmental science. The course, intended for non-science majors only, focuses on the principles of ecology, population and interactions, the food chain, energy flow and nutrient cycling. Lab experience includes field trips to study various ecosystems. Prerequisite: Completion of MA 93, if required Offered: Fall, Spring
-
4.00 Credits
Is the second of a two-semester study of environmental science. The course focuses on environmental issues such as air and water pollution, land use and energy sources. Students are expected to discuss the issues and propose possible alternatives/solutions. Each student completes a semester-long environmental lab project on one of the issues. Prerequisite: BIO 103 Offered: Fall, Spring
-
3.00 Credits
Provides students with a general overview and deep appreciation of the wide scope of forensic sciences. The course explores topics within forensic pathology, crime scene evaluations and the utilization of forensic science. Students also develop an understanding of the value and limitations of forensic science to the justice system. Offered: Varies
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces students to forensics both in the theoretical and in laboratory methods. Forensics focuses on learning the techniques for the scientific examination of physical evidence such as fibers, glass, hair, soil, bullets, fingerprints and shoeprints. Students review theoretical methods of comparison and their influence on scientific interpretation. The course focuses on the chemical, biological and physical methods used in forensic examination. Topics include microscopy, serology, imprints, impressions, tool marks, gunshot residue, cordage and textile examinations, blood spatter, hair examination and crime scene reconstruction. Prerequisites: Completion of ENG 98 and MA 93, if required; and either high school biology, high school chemistry or CHM 100 Offered: Fall
-
4.00 Credits
Continues to introduce students to forensics both theoretically and in laboratory methods. Additional physical evidence techniques for firearms, tool marks and changes that occur during and after death are explored. Students review the theoretical basis of comparative methods and their influence on scientific interpretation. The course covers processes from the crime scene to presentation of forensic science in court, such as gunshot residue, cordage and textile examinations, DNA collection, testing and interpretation. This course introduces students to very graphic, and at times, extremely violent materials regarding death. Prerequisite: BIO 140 or written permission of instructor Offered: Spring
-
4.00 Credits
Acquaints students with the concepts of forensic pathology. This course examines the medico-legal investigation of death from unexplained or accidental causes, homicides, suicides, blunt force/sharp force injuries, gunshot wounds, asphyxia, drowning, and thermal and electrical injuries. The course discusses the identification of individuals through dental remains and records, as well as age, sex and race determinations. Prerequisite: BIO 140, or completion of ENG 98 and MA 93, if required; and either high school biology, high school chemistry or CHM 100 Offered: Spring
-
4.00 Credits
Explores the world of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protistans and other microbes. Immunology is also studied. Emphasis is placed on the nature and behavior of these microorganisms and their interrelationship with the human body in health and disease. The principles of prevention and control of infectious diseases are presented. Laboratory experience develops techniques in the preparation, handling and identification of a variety of microbial cultures. Prerequisite: BIO 101 or BIO 220 Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer
