101 <br />and differences between individual literary genres, which must include <br />1. Poetry <br />2. Prose fiction <br />3. Drama <br />Non-fiction prose (sophisticated texts, commonly associated with great <br />works of literature and/or great ideas and often included in many literary <br />anthologies) can also be included. <br />• How to employ patterns of thought that develop and substantiate an argument <br />about or an interpretation of literary works (e.g., use comparison/ contrast to <br />persuade, not simply to observe, inductive/deductive patterns of reasoning in <br />forming judgments) <br />• How to clearly define crucial terms in order to clarify the issues at stake in an <br />interpretation of or an argument about literary works; how to select, to <br />effectively integrate, and to cite textual evidence from literary and outside <br />sources to support premises <br />• How to discuss such evidence by providing a warrant for a premise—e.g., the <br />quotation alone does not constitute evidence; the reasoning that follows is what <br />makes it evidence; how to incorporate and to respond to arguments in literary <br />analysis and interpretation in presenting one's own interpretations <br />• How to test alternative hypotheses or explanations and to consider alternative <br />sources of evidence or points of view in presenting interpretations of or <br />arguments about literary works <br />• Writing Conferences: 18 hours of individualized writing assignments/practice in <br />the class with one-on-one conferences with the instructor. <br />Prerequisite: GE ENG 101 <br />50 Hours Lecture <br />5.0 Quarter Credits <br />MAT 101: College Algebra The course will familiarize students with basic math theory and basic equations with a <br />particular emphasis on the components that make up business accounting formulas. This <br />in-depth overview of algebra and its uses includes integers, equations, polynomials, the <br />decimal system of numeration, four basic mathematical operations as they apply to whole <br />numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals without the use of any calculating <br />device, factoring, geometric figures, and measurements. In addition to the basic <br />operations, logarithms, exponential equations, systems of linear and nonlinear equations, <br />Cramer's Rule, the Binomial Theorem, the complex number system, and sequences and <br />series are included. Emphasis is placed on applications to real world problems. Topics <br />include: <br />• Arithmetic and Pre -algebra Refresher <br />• Properties of Exponents and Scientific Notation <br />• Formulas, Applications and Problem Solving <br />• Linear Equations and Inequalities <br />• Arithmetic Operations with Polynomial and Rational Expressions and Factoring <br />Polynomials <br />• Radical Numbers, Radical Equations and Quadratic Equations <br />Prerequisite: None <br />50 Hours Lecture <br />5.0 Quarter Credits <br />Date on December 12, <br />
