COURSE OBJECTIVES/LEARNING OUTCOMES

The specific objectives are to: To understand and apply a method and appropriate technology to the natural sciences; to recognize scientific and quantitative methods and the differences between them these approaches and other methods of inquiry; to communicate findings, analyses, and interpretation both orally and in writing; to recognize the influences and contribution of science to modern culture.
CORE CURRICULUM STATEMENT

1. Reading: The ability to read and interpret a variety of printed materials books, articles, and documents above a 12th grade level. 2. Speaking: Communicate orally in clear, coherent and persuasive language appropriate to purpose, occasion, and audience above a 12th grade level. 3. Listening: Analyze and interpret various forms of spoken communication, possess sufficient literacy skills of writing, and reading above a 12th grade level. 4. Critical thinking: Think and analyze at a critical level. 5. Computer literacy: Understand our technological society, use computer-based technology in communication, solving problems, and acquiring information. Policies and Suggestions for Student Success: 1. Exams, Homework and Quizzes: There are 4 unit exams and one comprehensive final exam in this course. You will be given homework assignment list for each chapter. It is crucial that you complete and understand every assignment. I encourage you to work as groups on these assignments. Rather than collect homework, we will have many quizzes consisting of assigned problems and current topic questions at the start of most class periods. 2. Lab and Lab Reports: (1) Lab manual on eCampus is free, but you are responsible to print and bring appropriate pages. Most of the experiments will have a pre-lab assignment that is to be completed and checked by your instructor at the beginning of the lab class before the experiment. The completed lab report will be turned in at the beginning of the following lab class. (2) The lab report should have your name, date, title of this experiment, essay, data & calculation, questions, and pre-lab assignment. (3) A scientific calculator, metric ruler, protractor, loose-leaf paper, and graph paper must be brought to each Lab session. (4) During the Lab, group of 2-4 students could work together in data collection and analysis. Lack of participation and collaboration will affect your grade. (5) Before leaving the Lab session, let the instructor check your data sheet. Return all apparatus to its appropriate location. Clean up the Lab table. 3. Helpful Information: Tutors are available for all subject areas in the Center for Tutoring and learning Connections (located in M-216) and Science Corner (located in the 2nd floor of Sabine ). 4. Attendance Policy: In order to be successful students must attend and participate in enrolled courses. 5. Academic Progress: Students are encouraged to discuss academic goals and degree completion with their instructors. Specific advising is available throughout the semester. Check www.richlandcollege.edu/admissions/process.php for more details. 6. FOOD AND BEVERAGE POLICY: It is also the college policy that food, water and drinks are
prohibited in all technology classrooms, including all lab rooms.
