DIVISION III: Foundations of Natural Science and Mathematics
Students who complete science courses should be able to:
1. Recognize and understand the scientific method
2. Understand and use scientific concepts
3. Understand and discuss general scientific articles
4. Apply their knowledge of science to everyday experience
Students who complete mathematics courses should be able to:
1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of mathematical logic
2. Use mathematics to solve scientific or mathematical problems
3. Express relationships in the symbolic language of mathematics
4. Appreciate the role of mathematics in analyzing natural phenomena
English/ESL Placement: Placement into ENG 1510.
The student will describe and discuss the basic principles of vascular plant morphology, physiology, pathology, and ecology as they relate to agricultural landscape technology by (a) identifying and describing plant structures; (b) describing fundamental plant functions; (c) identifying and describing fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insects which are responsible for common plant diseases; and (d) by describing the natural habitats of selected vascular plants.
Prerequisite: Placement into ENG 1510 or higher.
A laboratory science course which will focus through an interdisciplinary investigation on (a) developing an awareness of one's total environment (social, physical, and biological), (b) identifying the cause and perspective of our environmental concerns and, (c) exploring the possible and preferred solutions and strategies to those environmental issues.
GE Outcomes: Global Understanding and Responsibility
This class was one of the more enjoyable and hands on classes that I took here at NMU. During the span of this class we went on numerous "field trips" around the Marquette area to check out rocks and other geological features that could were beneficial to the topics being covered in class. One of the more beneficial books that a class required here at NMU was a nifty book called "Rocks and Minerals of Lake Superior" a picture of the book can be seen HERE. I still bring this book to the beach with me when I rock hunt and use it as a valuable resource.
Below are two screenshots from my physiological statistics class with all of my grades for both tests, quizzes, and homework.
