DEV 010 (Formerly DE 010) - Basic Writing Skills This three-credit course is designed to prepare the student to succeed in upper level writing courses. A basic review of grammar is coupled with extensive practice in sentence recognition and development. Special emphasis is placed on paragraph development techniques, sentence structure, usage and language mechanics. This course must be successfully completed with a C- (70%) or better before a student may enter ENG105 through ENG238. Failure in the course will result in repeating it the next semester. Students receiving less than a B- are required to enroll and successfully complete ENG102 Fundamentals of Writing. Students must successfully complete all prerequisite course work in order to enroll in any upper level writing course. The grade in the latter course is counted as part of a student's GPA. DEV 010 earns institutional credit only.

DEV 020 (Formerly DE 020) - Reading for College This three-credit course is designed to develop fundamental reading skills through extensive practice. The purpose of this course is to increase the students ability to read efficiently and critically, to improve vocabulary, and to enable the student to make inferences from what is read. This course must be successfully completed with a C- (70%) or better in the first semester. Students receiving less than a B- are required to enroll in ENG 103 (Critical Reading). The grade received in the latter course is counted as part of a students GPA. DEV 020 earns institutional credit only.

DEV 030 (Formerly DE 030) - Basic Math Skills This three-credit course is designed to reinforce basic arithmetic skills while introducing some fundamental algebraic concepts in preparation for college level math. Concepts and skills are developed through the integration of algebra and arithmetic problem-solving applications. Students enrolled in Basic Math DEV030 must successfully complete the course with a C- (70%) or better in order to enroll in Introduction to Algebra MAT110 or Mathematics of Finance MAT105. Students who earn a D, D+, or F must repeat the course. DEV 030 earns institutional credit only. Students will not be allowed to enroll in Math for the Early Years MAT106, College Algebra MAT120 or Mathematical Reasoning MAT115 without completing Introduction to Algebra MAT110. Students who fail a DE course (Reading for College, Basic Writing, or Basic Math) must retake the course in the next semester. Students may not withdraw from a DE course without the permission of the Director of Developmental Education.

DMS 115 (Formerly DS 115) - Pelvic Sonography and Lab Students will learn the gross and cross-sectional anatomy of the female pelvis. This course introduces and relates the knowledge of gynecology anatomy, pathology and diagnostic sonography. This course will focus on applying ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for evaluating the pelvis and adjacent structures. The student will become accustomed to the sonographic procedures used to properly image this anatomy. The students will become familiar with physiology and pathology of the pelvis. The students will be introduced to other diagnostic testing methods, therapeutic and surgical intervention, and pharmacology related to these structures. Coursework will include demonstrations and discussion on the proper scanning techniques, as well as patient preparations and positioning needed to obtain optimum diagnostic images. Lecture and classroom demonstrations will coincide appropriately to facilitate a simultaneous understanding of didactic and hands-on experience. (3 Credits)
