Classical Physics I
This is the first semester of the calculus-based introductory physics sequence typically required for students majoring in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other physical science disciplines. The emphasis of this course is on developing the problem-solving skills needed to solve physics problems while understanding the underlying physics principles. The first semester of the physics sequence covers mechanics. Laboratory is an essential component of the course. Prerequisite: Successful completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 1210 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I. Students who have successfully completed high school calculus may be allowed to take the course with the instructor’s permission.

Composition II: Argument (Goal 1 & 2; Prereq ENGL1101)
(OR ENGL1105, 1106 OR 1107)
This second semester composition course is designed as a continuation of ENGL 1101. It teaches the skills needed to write clear and coherent essays using different modes of expository prose such as process, comparison and contrast, classification, and definition. It will culminate in the study of argumentative writing in which the student learns to defend a position and argue a thesis with reason and evidence. Prerequisite: ENGL 1101 MnTC (Goal 1/CM and Goal 2/CT); (3 Cr – 3 lect, 0 lab) |
