  • ART 1030 - Art Appreciation (TN eCampus)

    (3 credits)
    The overall purpose of this course is to provide the student with a basic understanding of the visual arts. The first half of the course deals with the nature of art, the evaluation of art, the processes and materials of art. We examine the formal elements of design and look at a wide variety of both two- and three-dimensional art to learn about the processes and tools involved in its creation. The second half of the semester is spent in a (more or less) chronological study of world art in its cultural setting from the prehistoric to the contemporary. The course is divided into 12 segments, presented as Lessons 1-12. Each lesson represents the equivalent of 4 hours of class time. The student is expected to spend a minimum of 4 additional hours to complete the assignments for each unit. Each unit must be completed before the student may advance to the next level.

  • ASTR 1030 - Astronomy (TN eCampus)

    (4 credits)
    Prerequisites: There are no other college-level courses that must be taken before this one, but the student should have entry-level college reading and math skills. Some concepts of astronomy, and some laboratory exercises require the ability to understand and perform some basic algebraic manipulations. The PHYS 1030  may be taken before or after this course for those students needing a two-semester science elective. The most logical sequence would be Physics and then Astronomy because some of the laws studied in Physics apply to Astronomy. As an introduction to astronomy, this course explores what we know about the solar system and how we know what we know. Topics covered include the history of astronomy, methods of astronomy, formation of the solar system, and the physical characteristics of the sun, planets, moons, and minor members of the solar system (asteroids, meteoroids, and comets). Through the use of text, laboratory, astronomy web sites and actual observation, the student can expect to learn to identify, locate and specify location of the visible planets, some constellations and any other “visitors” that happen to show themselves in our solar system during the course.

The course begins with a review of the basics of evolution and natural selection, since many of the ideas in ecology depend on organisms attempting to maximize their fitness. It then covers, in order, the ecology of individuals, considering some aspects of both physiological and behavioral ecology; the ecology of groups of individuals, or populations; and finally, the ecology of groups of populations, or communities, and how they interact with each other. Lectures will consist primarily of PowerPoint presentations, and there will be demonstrations of important concepts using programs such as Populus. Evaluation of student progress will be done with examinations, quizzes, and homework assignments (including web-based research). This course is for teachers who are seeking a Biology Add-on Endorsement ONLY. It will not substitute for required ecology courses in the Biological Sciences or related majors.
