Course Descriptions

 

Physical Education

Following certain course descriptions are the designations: F, Sp, Su. These indicate the semesters fall, spring, summer in which the course is normally offered and are intended as an aid to students planning their programs of study.

Except for PED 191  and PED 186 , one of the courses below may be used to satisfy the one-hour physical activity requirement for the University Core Curriculum.

Students will demonstrate sports skills with an understanding of rules, terminology, strategy, and etiquette necessary for participation in physical activity. The student and his/her advisor will select 100-level activity classes appropriately.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  • PED 244 - Lifeguard Training

    Credits: 2

    ARC certification in lifeguarding. Prereq: Swim 300 yards continuously, using these strokes in the following order: 100 yards of front crawl using rhythmic breathing and a stabilizing, propellant kick; rhythmic breathing can be performed either by breathing to the side or to the front; 100 yards of breaststroke; 100 yards of either front crawl using rhythmic breathing or breaststroke or a mixture of front crawl and breaststroke. Swim 20 yards using front crawl or breaststroke, surface dive to a depth of seven-10 feet, retrieve a 10-pound object, return to the surface, and swim 20 yards back to the starting point with the object and exit the water without using a ladder or steps, within one minute, 40 seconds. When returning to the starting point, the participant’s face must remain above the water and the participant must hold the 10-pound object with both hands. Term(s) Offered (F=Fall, Sp=Spring, Su=Summer): Sp.

  • PHYS 401 - Physics and Human Thought

    Credits: 3

    The course will cover some of the important ideas in physics and their relationship to other areas of human thought, e.g. philosophy, literature, and art. These relationships will be made through readings from works that have a direct connection to physics. The emphasis will be on learning the physical principles and their significance. The physical theories that will be covered include Newton’s laws, energy conservation, the second law of thermodynamics, special relativity, and quantum mechanics. These theories will be framed in the context of the times in which they developed. The course will involve both the solving of “traditional physics problems” and the writing of essays relating the ideas developed in the problems to a wider context. Prereq: MATH 111  or equivalent and PHYS 101  or equivalent. (3-0)
