Registered for Classes


All registered for fall quarter.   Below are the course descriptions.  My notes in RED

DEV 031 Pre-Algebra

Pre-Algebra is designed for students who have no experience with algebra and for those who need to strengthen their abilities to work with algebraic mathematics. Topics include simplifying algebraic expressions, solving equations, working with exponents, formulas, signed number operations, monomial operations and application problems. This course will help to develop students’ algebra and study skills and help them to perform successfully in MATH 101, MATH 102 and in the workplace. Traditional, Web-based and hybrid sections are available. This course is not open to students with credit for MATH 101, 102 or higher. Please note that students cannot take DEV 030 and DEV 031 concurrently. Prerequisite: By placement exam or “C” or higher in DEV 030   Umm yeah, so I totally goofed when taking the math placement test.  Having been out of school for 15 years It was very hard to remember how to do any of the algebra stuff.  Hopefully this class will be an “easy A” to help boost my grade point average

PSY 100 Introduction to Psychology (A, W, SP, SU, DL)

5 credits
This introductory course provides an overview of the origins, growth, content and applications of psychology, including the application of the scientific method to the following topics: research methodology; beginning statistics; theories of physical, cognitive, moral and emotional development; sensation; perception; learning; motivation; intelligence; memory; personality; coping processes; abnormality; adjustment; and the individual in small groups and a pluralistic society.  This one is going to be fun.  I enjoy this kind of work and hope the class is decent.

BIO 100 Intro to Biological Sciences (A, W, SP, SU, DL)

4 credits

BIO 100 is a general biology course in which basic principles of the characteristics of life, biochemistry, cell reproduction and genetics are explored.
 Is it wrong that I want to become a nurse but don’t look forward to dissecting things?   A little weird for sure.
