three
laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 1120 General Chemistry II (4) The comprehensive study
of chemical principles will be continued with emphasis on
properties
of gases, kinetics, thermochemistry, chemical equilibria,
acid-base
chemistry, coordination compounds, oxidation-reduction, and
electrochemistry. PREREQUISITE: CHEM 1110 and either MATH

properties, nomenclature and reactions of aliphatic compounds
including alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, and
alcohols.
PREREQUISITE: CHEM 1120 with a grade of C or better. Three
lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 2020 Organic Chemistry II (4) A study of the preparations,
properties, nomenclature and reactions of aldehydes, ketones,
carboxylic acids and aromatic compounds. PREREQUISITE: CHEM
2010 with a grade of C or better. Three lecture, three laboratory
hours
per week.
CHEM 110* Preparation for College Chemistry (3) This course
is
designed to prepare students who have an inadequate high school
background in chemistry to take the General Chemistry sequence.
It
provides an introduction to metric units of measurement, mathematical
principles involving physical data, chemical symbols, formulas,
basic laws of chemistry, equations and simple problems. Will
NOT
count toward graduation. PREREQUISITES: Two years of high
school algebra and an acceptable placement score, or DSPM
0850.
CHEM 276T* Selected Topics in Chemistry (1-6) A course which
deals with topics carefully selected to meet the needs of
special
groups. The course may be repeated for credit.
Communication
Communication is the study of human interaction in interpersonal
and group settings (among friends, families, and co-workers,
for
example), and in public settings (including the workplace,
the
community, and the mass media). Courses in each of the five
programs - General Communication, Business & Professional
Communication, Journalism, Radio/TV, and Speech & Forensics
-
balance theory with practical skills.
COM 100 Fundamentals of Speech Communication (3) This course
is an introduction to the communication process, interpersonal
communication, group discussion, and public speaking. Students
are required to prepare and deliver speeches. PREREQUISITES:
DSPW 0800 and DSPR 0800 or acceptable placement scores.
COM 101 Introduction to Journalism (3) This course is an
introduction to the news, basic skills required of journalists,
basic
types of stories, effective writing techniques, and the rights
and
responsibilities of journalists. PREREQUISITES: DSPW 0800
and
DSPR 0800 or acceptable placement scores.
COM 102 Reporting for Print Media (3) This course emphasizes
selecting and covering news stories, specialized types of
news
stories, and newsgathering and writing skills. PREREQUISITE:
COM 101.
COM 103 Public Speaking (3) This course is an introduction
to
preparing and delivering public speeches, including emphasis
on
informative and persuasive speaking. PREREQUISITE: DSPW 0800
and DSPR 0800 or acceptable placement scores. (Same as RODP
SP 110)
COM 106 Interpersonal Communication (3) This course helps
students understand and improve personal communication skills
in
a variety of contexts, including social, workplace, and family
settings.
Topics may include intra-personal communication, language,
nonverbal
behavior, listening, roles, supportiveness, and conflict
management. PREREQUISITES: DSPW 0800 and DSPR 0800 or
acceptable placement scores.
COM 110 Survey of Mass Communications (3) This course is an
examination of the print and electronic media. Each medium
is
analyzed. The possible effects of the media are also examined.
COM 111 Radio Production (3) An introductory course in radio
production techniques and equipment. Includes practice in
recording,
editing, and microphone techniques. The proper care and cleaning
of equipment are demonstrated. Analog and digital recording/
production techniques are introduced. Two lecture, two laboratory
