This course is presented as a study of the structure and properties dealing with organic and biochemical compounds. Major emphasis is applied to the descriptive and mechanical chemistry of carbon containing compounds: their occurrence, properties, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure synthesis and reactions.

 

This course is the first half of a series in anatomy and physiology. In this semester the students will learn about the various tissues of the human body, and the cells that comprise them. Specific focus will be on the tissue types: skin and integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous. The student acquires detailed knowledge of the contribution of these tissues to the function and anatomy of the human body. This knowledge provides the basis for understanding the levels of organization, support, movement, integration and coordination of the human body.

 

This course compliments the first anatomy and physiology course. In this semester the students learn about the various organ systems of the body and the individual organs that comprise them. Specific focus will be on the following systems: integration, coordination, transportation, absorption, excretion and the human life cycle. The student acquires detailed knowledge of the contributioin of these systems to the function and anatomy of the human body. This knowledge provides the basis for understanding how damages and repair of the body can occur.

 

Provides the student with a solid background in the science and microbiology (laboratory tools for studying microorganisms; natural and disease causing bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites; host defenses, immunity, and immunization; chemotherapy and therapeutic drugs; environmental and applied Microbiology) and prepares the student for future course work and practical applications. In this course the student will concentrate on understanding concepts - important fundamental ideas or themes that explain a process or form a framework for ideas and words.

 

Provides the student with the basic knowledge and skills required for safe administration of drugs.  Theoretical concepts of the nursing process are applied to the administration of drugs; assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the human responses to drugs are studied.

 

A mathematics course for the student who needs a vocationally focused course covering advanced operations of real numbers, measurement (English and metric), and simple geometry.

 

A course geared to familiarize students with general algebraic concepts.

 

A continuation of MTH 102; explores more advanced topics; includes real numbers, operations of signed numbers, properties of equalities, linear equations, polynomials, and other concepts.

 

This course utilizes a problem-solving approach with topics significant to K-8 standards-based education. This course includes sets, functions, elementary number theory, whole numbers, ration and proportion, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers.

 

Lecture aqnd laboratory covering the fundamentals of chemistry; includes measurements, elements, structures, compounds, chemical reactions, solutions and other chemical principles.
