This course is an interdisciplinary course integrating principles from biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, and non-science disciplines as related to the interactions of humans and their environment. Issues of local, regional, and global concern will be used to help students explain scientific concepts and analyze practical solutions to complex environmental problems. Emphasis is placed on the study of ecosystems, human population growth, energy, pollution, and other environmental issues and important environmental regulations.
PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS I AND LAB -- PHYS 1211k
An introductory course which will include material from mechanics, thermodynamics and waves. Elementary differential calculus will be used.
This course has a laboratory component that requires a lab kit.
PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS II AND LAB -- PHYS 1212k
An introductory course that will include material from electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. Elementary differential and integral calculus will be used.
This course has a laboratory component that requires a lab kit.
PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY I AND LAB -- CHEM 1211k
First course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature.
This course has a laboratory component that requires a lab kit.
NOTE: Please read this entire statement carefully. This course is taught completely online through eCore. This course will count as area D lab science, but it is generally considered for Science and Engineering majors. It is also for students advancing to pre-professional programs in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy. Only students from the state of Georgia will be allowed to register. You must attend one mandatory face-to-face meeting for this course. You will have the option to travel either to the University of West Georgia (Carrollton, GA) or Georgia College & State University (Milledgeville, GA) depending on your location.
Laboratory performance will be assessed by the proctored laboratory practical exam. These exams will be administered at the same two regional locations. For the lab portion of the course, students will be required to purchase a lab kit. The instructions for purchasing your kit are in your lab book. You will not be allowed to stay enrolled in the course unless you receive a lab kit. Students will be required to purchase additional laboratory materials (commonly found household items that may be purchased at local retailers for about $30).
PRINCIPLES OF CHEMISTRY II AND LAB -- CHEM 1212k
Continuation of a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include intermolecular forces, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material.
This course has a laboratory component that requires a lab kit.
