This is a 1st half semester course. An advanced treatment of chemical instrumentation and data analysis, with a focus on instrument design and function, data acquisition, and signal to noise enhancement.

This is a 1st half semester course that meets 3 times a week for one-half credit. This course will delve more deeply into concepts introduced in CHE-241, emphasizing the applications of structural principles, kinetics, and thermodynamics to modern organometallic systems. Through digestion of recently published literature, we will identify and discuss common motifs that garner the majority of research interest within the field. Anaerobic techniques for preparing and characterizing air-sensitive complexes will be introduced, though there will be no scheduled weekly laboratory period.

Important notes: students with prior credit in CSC-101 or CSC-106 cannot enroll. Each half credit is identical, so students cannot enroll in both section -01 and section -02. Using Microsoft MakeCode Arcade, and some Python, we will explore the world of 2D retro-style video game programming. Students will produce a series of small games, and the course will culminate with development of a larger project to showcase to the college community. No previous experience with computer programming is expected. This course will develop general programming skills for students seeking to take CSC-111 in the future. This is a 1st half semester course.

This is a 1st half semester course. Origins and Endings: Where do we all come from? What happens when we die? And what do the days in between mean? Virtually all religions offer answers. This class examines sacred texts not as doctrinal blueprints but as literature that inspires more literature. Students will read and write about poems, stories, plays, and songs that react to, and often recoil from, sacred texts and their visions of our beginnings and ends. Assigned texts will be drawn from a range of religious traditions, and students from all religious backgrounds, including no religious background, are welcome.

This 1st half-semester course is an introduction to the theme of religion and the performing arts: theater, dance, performance art, puppets etc. We will survey and discuss various the topics like: performance as a medium of religious messages; what does it mean to be an observer, participant or performer; what is the role of body as a tool for expression of something sacred compared to something secular; and what does the subject have to do with the current issues of body, gender and sexuality. In addition to reading and discussion, we will write and prepare short performances, either speeches or any type chosen by the students.
