CHC204 YOGA III 4 credits This course will provide students insight into teaching yoga including detailed instruction in asana (postures/poses). This course includes the knowledge necessary to construct a yoga class. Students will discuss diverse population and how to modify yoga to meet the special needs of these populations. Students will also participate in a teaching practicum to be established during the first half of the course. Prerequisites: CHC 202. CHC220 MIND-BODY-SPIRIT CONNECTION 3 credits This course introduces students to the history and methods used to promote the ideas and concepts of creating an integrated, healthy life. The student will engage in exploration of the physiological and psychological mechanisms that maintain homeostasis and of the adaptation responses learned through the physical and social environment. The processes of engaging the human spirit (mobilization of energy or will), to deal effectively with change and stress will be addressed. While gaining knowledge of mind-body-spirit medicine from scientific sources, it is expected the student will learn how to listen to the body and challenge assumptions about ways of seeing the world. Prerequisites: ENG098, FYE101, RDG098, or placement. Spring CHC230 COMPLEMENTARY HEALTHCARE (CAM) 3 credits This course was designed to create a culminating experience for students interested in the growing industry of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Students will be expected to put together various components of their education, both theory and practice, in order to synthesize what they have learned into practice. Topics such as professionalism, ethics, legal aspects of practice, and career advancement will be included. Students will be expected to complete research and writing assignments relative to current CAM practices. Prerequisite: CHC101. Co-requisite: CHC220. This course is restricted to CHC degree seeking students who have completed at least 45 credits.
CHE107 GENERAL CHEMISTRY I 4 credits This course provides the student with an understanding of the fundamental principles of matter and energy. The course includes atomic and molecular structure, the periodic table, patterns of chemical reactivity, solution chemistry, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and chemical bonding. A mathematical approach to chemical problems is used to develop problem solving skills as well as a conceptual understanding. Laboratory work is correlated with class discussion. Lab sessions will be hands-on experiences revolving around and applying the topics listed in the lab section of the syllabus. Prerequisites: ENG098, FYE101, MAT096, RDG098, or placement. Recommended: High school chemistry or other previous chemistry classes. CHE108 GENERAL CHEMISTRY II 4 credits A continuation of CHE107 General Chemistry I, this course covers such topics as intermolecular forces, behavior of gases, liquids and solutions, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, oxidation-reduction and electro-chemistry. A mathematical approach to chemical problems is used to develop problem solving skills as well as a conceptual understanding. Laboratory work is correlated with class discussion. Lab sessions will be hands-on experiences revolving around and applying the topics listed in the lab section of the syllabus. Prerequisite: CHE107. Spring and summer. CHE120 ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY 4 credits This course is an introduction to the principles of chemistry with an emphasis on the environmental chemistry of air, energy, water and soil. It is recommended as a general science elective or as a foundation for continued study in the sciences, particularly natural resources. The following basic chemical topics will be introduced: matter classification, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical bonds, chemical formulas and names, spectroscopy, solutions, concentration, pH, moles and the use of energy. The course emphasizes an understanding of current environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, the ozone layer and energy issues. The relationships between science, technology and society are also discussed in the context of 215
