Cognition, the study of mental processes, is a central topic in psychology. In this course an information processing approach to cognition will be presented, which includes the acquisition of knowledge, the maintenance of knowledge across time in memory, and the use (accessing) of knowledge to guide behavior. Hot cognition will be contrasted with cold cognition, and methods of studying cognition will be demonstrated. Prerequisite: PSY-101. Take PSY-101;

3.00 Credits
Intended for the non-scientist, this non-mathematical course surveys the chemistry and physical science of the solid earth, the atmosphere and space, emphasizing the methods used by scientists to deduce and model the structure of the environment. The chemistry emphasis includes the structure of the atom, the periodic table, the chemical elements as building blocks for all matter, rocks and minerals, photochemical reactions and atmospheric pollution, planetary and stellar atmospheres, and the use of spectroscopy. The physical science emphasis includes the study of the rock cycle, earthquakes, and plate tectonics; air pressure, the water cycle, and cloud formation; composition and properties of the solar system and theories about the formation of the solar system and universe. Accompanying the lectures are four week-long inquiry projects with students working in groups to observe, hypothesize and experiment on various phenomena related to the course. Enrollment preference given to Childhood Education majors, for whom the course is a requirement.

This course will explore the pathological response to trauma on different body tissue (i.e. muscle, ligament, bone, nerve, brain) incurred with physical activity. Structural disruption and dysfunction occurring in common injuries to the musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems will be covered. Human anatomy will be a major component of this course. In addition to the lecture component, a one-hour per week lab session with an emphasis on injury prevention is required. Prerequisite: BIO 201 correquisite: SCI 240L Take BIO-201;

3.00 Credits
Physiologic adjustments and adaptations to varying conditions of physical activity are explored. Topics for study include physiological aspects of humans in sports and exercise, environmental effects on human performance, the role nutrition plays in fitness and activity, and application of physiological principles to the training and conditioning process. The course is presented as a systems approach, stressing the energy transport system and its interrelationship of structure with function during physical activity in healthy and diseased populations.
-
