Courses
Here are the course descriptions of the classes I have taken at college (as stated by NHC):
CIS 230 C A Programming Language (3 credits) Back to top
Teacher: Eleanor H. Barnes
This course is designed to introduce the students to block structure programming techniques. This language is a cross between a high level and an assembly level language and is heavily dependent on the use of functions. The course covers such topics as program control, functions, arrays, pointers, strings, structures and file processing. Students will be involved in writing programs of increasing complexity throughout the course. Prerequisite: CIS 100. Offered as needed.
CIS 200 Introduction to Information Systems (3 credits) Back to top
Teacher: William H. Trueheart
CIS 200 is an introduction to the concepts of information management necessary to provide New Hampshire College graduates with the background required to function in computer driven business environments. Students study information concepts and their relationship to business structures and levels of operations. Included is a study of information needs and their impact on the types of documents and data relationships necessary to sustain and support business plans and operations. The course provides an entry level knowledge of "Information Literacy" essential for graduates to maintain and define organizational data and documents. A major facet of the course is the study of the tools and techniques used by industry to manage information. Prerequisite: CIS 100. Offered every semester. Writing Intensive Course.
PSY 108 Introduction to Psychology (3 credits) Back to top
Teacher: Emlee C. Kohler
PSY 108 is an introduction to various areas of psychology including scientific investigation, motivation, personality, intelligence, behavioral deviation, perception, learning, and human development. It provides a basis for further study in related areas. Offered every semester.
MAT 120 Finite Mathematics (3 credits) Back to top
Teacher: Pamela B. Cohen
This course serves to both prepare students for other courses in the core curriculum and in their major as well as provide a basis for making decisions which they will encounter after graduation. Topics include solving equations, modeling with linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic functions, solving simple linear systems of equations, mathematics of finance, and probability. While these topics obviously are prerequisite to more advanced mathematics, they increasingly play a part in quantitatively sophisticated discussions of difficult and controversial public policy issues. Prerequisite: Competency in high school algebra. Placement in this course depends on SAT math score, high school GPA and/or a mathematics placement examination administered by the mathematics faculty. (A student who has completed MAT 150 may not register for MAT 120). Offered as needed.
ENG 120 College Composition I (3 credits) Back to top
Teacher: Charles L. Wilbert
English 120 is a college-level writing course which introduces students to various forms of academic discourse. Students are required to prepare essays in a variety of rhetorical modes including exposition, description and argumentation. In addition to out-of-class writing assignments, students will also be required to compose in-class essays in response to readings and other prompts. English 120 introduces students to Process Writing techniques, library research and documentation procedures. The primary focus of English 120 is to help students acquire the writing skills necessary to succeed in an academic environment. Enrollment is kept intentionally small (typically 15 students a section) to assure maximum benefit. Prerequisite: Completion of English 101, or placement by the Freshman Writing Coordinator. English 120 is offered every semester.
CIS 231 C Advanced Programming Language (3 credits) Back to top
