  • ENG 255 - Introduction to British Literary History


    Credits: 3

    This course examines the historical development of British literature, from the Anglo-Saxon invasions that catalyzed the birth of a British national identity and brought Beowulf into the literature of England, through the contentious development of this national identity into a global power, to Britain’s 20th century post-colonial status. By concentrating on representative or “canonical” works as well as those conventionally underrepresented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand British literary works in their social, political, and cultural contexts.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 101  or equivalent.

  • ENG 265 - Introduction to American Literary History


    Credits: 3

    ENG 265 provides an overview of the main currents in the development of American literature, from its beginnings in pre-colonial times through its reliance on and then struggle against British and European themes and forms, to its 20th-century development into the many voices of an uneasily multi-ethnic world power. By historically situating representative works from within the canon as well as from voices traditionally excluded or under-represented, the course will provide students with the background necessary to understand literature as the product of and often as challenging this background.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 101  or equivalent.

  • ENG 419 - Advanced Grant Writing


    Credits: 3

    This course applies the fundamentals and theory of grant writing to a client-based project with non-profit or not-for-profit local organizations in a service-learning environment. Students will work with the client to locate sources of funding, prepare the grant proposal, and submit the grant application to the appropriate agency. Classroom instruction will include rhetorical analysis of the grant-writing situation broadly allowing them to apply principles of effective grant writing to a specific client and grant situation. English 419 also emphasizes the effective management of collaborative writing and client-based projects.

    Prerequisite(s): ENG 319  or permission of instructor.

    Repeatability: This course is repeatable up to six hours for the Rhetoric and Writing emphasis.
    Term(s) Offered: Spring (even-numbered years)

Exercise Science

  
  • EXSC 225 - Fundamentals of Strength Training Techniques


    Credits: 3

    This course is designed to provide students with the basic fundamentals of strength training exercise technique.  Students will examine both free weight and machine modalities and will be instructed on how to identify and categorize exercises.  Emphasis will be placed on the students’ ability to teach and demonstrate basic strength training exercises to a novice client/athlete and provide corrective feedback on performance.  Students will be exposed to the components of a training session and the manipulation of program variables that dictate the specific adaptations made to the training regimen.  Students will also be instructed on weight room etiquette, safety protocols, and spotting procedures to ensure safe and effective practices.

  • EXSC 392 - Biomechanics and Motor Behavior


    Credits: 4

    An analysis of movement tasks and their relationship to each other. An understanding of the processes involved in acquiring and refining motor skills including knowledge of the influence of neural and behavioral aspects of learning motor skills.To apply the kinematic (velocity and acceleration) and kinetic (force) concepts for the mechanical analysis of human movement. Students will apply those principles for better understanding of: (a) developmental change; (b) postural control; (c) prehension; (d) neuromuscular power; (e) resistance training; (f) movement efficiency and economy; (g) locomotion; (h) movement skill acquisition; (i) effects of fatigue;(j) effects of injury; (k)retention and (l) transfer of learning.

    Prerequisite(s): BIOL 121 , BIOL 122 , and either PHYS 101  or PHYS 175

  • EXSC 487 - Principles and Applications of Fitness Training


    Credits: 3

    This course will focus on the development of sport-specific training plans to optimize athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury.  Students will demonstrate the ability to perform a sport-specific needs analysis and manipulate the program variables of resistance, power, anaerobic capacity, aerobic, agility, speed, and balance training to enhance athletic performance.  Students will integrate the program variables into a periodized program design that focuses on stimulating specific adaptations while balancing the need for proper rest and recovery to prevent overtraining.  Students will administer and participate in the components of a training session, assessments utilized to measure athletic fitness components, and will review the technique of basic strength and power exercises.

    Prerequisite(s): BIOL 121  and BIOL 122 .

  • EXSC 488 - Program Design for Diverse Populations


    Credits: 3

    This course provides exercise recommendations for both healthy adults and those living with a wide range of diseases and disabilities.  Students will utilize the American College of Sports Medicine’s risk stratification model to classify an individual’s risk for a cardiovascular-related event during the performance of exercise.  This course will employ the Exercise is Medicine Model as it relates to the positive impact exercise can have on the prevention, management, and reduction of disease.  Students will utilize the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendations and modifications for the assessment and exercise prescription of a wide range of populations.

    Prerequisite(s): BIOL 121 , BIOL 122  and EXSC 397
