3.00 Credits
This course explores the relationship between humans and the natural world expressed in the literary form of nature writing. The thematic movement from discovery and description to environment, ecology, ecocriticism, and sustainability will be emphasized. Readings will be concentrated in American Literature, but works from other countries and cultures will be included. A variety of literary genres, including poems, journals, nonfiction essays, short stories, travel narratives, and excerpts from novels and nonfiction books will be examined. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the canon of nature writing and to track this literary movement into emerging texts that examine the political, environmental, and technological themes of ecology and sustainability in contemporary culture. Students will be required to write a substantial research paper that analyzes an issue directly related to their major, and they will present their research at the end of the semester. Short writing exercises and exams will also be required. Class sessions will center on student participation and debate, and discussions and writing strategies will employ principles of sound reasoning, critical thinking, and Information Literacy skills.

This course focuses on the experience of the theater, that is, on plays in production. Students analyze the texts of both contemporary and classic dramas and experience a selected number as actual productions in a field trip to the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario. Themes for exploration will be drawn from the choice of productions, so will differ each year. The goal of the course will be to expose students to the drama as it was meant to be experienced, through live productions on the stage. The course is also writing-intensive so that it further develops the writing and critical thinking skills introduced in Comp 1503 and other literature and humanities courses, in assignments related to readings, class discussion and theatrical productions, including writing analytical papers on the text or production. Information literacy is further developed through a written research paper, and students will present their findings orally.

3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the topics of algebra primarily for those students who do not qualify for more advanced math courses due to lack of background or a long absence from the study of mathematics. The topics covered include properties of real numbers, order of operations, polynomial operations, solutions of first degree equations and inequalities in one variable, systems of linear equations, graphing linear equations and properties of linear exponents. Students must earn a C or better grade in this course to register for any credit-bearing math courses. This course does not satisfy any degree requirements.
-
3.00 Credits
The course will introduce the student to the following topics: order of operations; applications in geometry; simplifying algebraic expressions; exponents; radicals; solving linear equations; modeling; systems of linear equations; and graphing linear equations. Emphasis is placed on reviewing basic arithmetic skills and then completing elementary algebra topics. Students will work on the development of thinking skills through creative problem solving, writing to explain methods and solutions to problems, and collaborative learning.

3.00 Credits
This course is intended as a tool for students to learn or review fundamental concepts of mathematics. The course provides a bridge to algebra for students who are not ready to successfully complete that study. Topics covered include operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions and decimals. Additional topics include ratios, proportions, percents, measurement, geometric figures and a very basic introduction to algebra. Students must earn a "C" or better grade in this course to register for the next math course, MATH 1003. This course is often taught in a self-paced-learning format. This course does not satisfy any degree requirements.

3.00 Credits
This course is intended for students who need more preparation to be successful in College Algebra or other courses of that level. Topics covered include: review of first degree equations, systems of equations and inequalities, graphing, polynomials, factoring, radicals and rational exponents, quadratic equations, rational expressions, relations and functions and an introduction to triangle trigonometry. This course prepares students to enter Math 1033 - College Algebra, Math 2124 - Statistical Methods and Analysis, Math 1423 - Explorations in Geometry, Math 1323 - Quantitative Reasoning and Math 2163 - Discrete Mathematics. A grade of C or better is required in Math 1014 to register for these courses. THIS COURSE DOES NOT FULFILL THE GEN-ED MATH REQUIREMENT.
