  • NATS 101 1EV - All About Water


    Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
    Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

    All About Water explores water. Water is everywhere: in our bodies, in our food, in our atmosphere and underfoot. We can’t live without it! And because we can’t live without it, we fight about it, we write legislation regarding it, we try to steal it from each other, and we have turned it into big business. Unfortunately, we have also polluted it and wasted it with little regard to its value to us as individuals and the biosphere as a whole. This course will challenge students to explore and to critically reflect upon their personal values, beliefs, and worldviews in the context of decision making. It utilizes an inquiry-based approach to investigate how we use and abuse water, the importance of informed decision making, and our personal responsibly to our world. Cross-listed GEOS101

  • NATS 103 1Q - Health Care as a Public Good 4 All


    Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 3
    Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

    This course examines the significance of health as both a public good and a biopsychosociocultural phenomenon in the twenty-first century. We will use literary journalism, documentary films, philosophical and social science scholarship, health professional testimonies, community clinic field trips, and autobiographical writing to explore the gendered and additional sociocultural aspects of medicine as well as the ethical and justice implications of a universal health care system. We will explore how race, ethnicity, poverty, gender, and sexuality have influenced the development and delivery of health care services as well as access to those services. Ultimately, students will critically investigate their own positon on the Hippocratic Oath’s demand to “never do harm to anyone” and consider what health care policies best support that position.

    This course is for Elementary Education majors only. The first of a two-semester sequence in the natural sciences which integrates basic principles in the physical and biological sciences. The course sequence focuses on a scientific view of the evolution of the physical universe from its origin to the development of living systems. The course sequence includes concepts in physical, earth, biological, and environmental sciences. The sequence is designed for students majoring in Elementary Education, and does not serve as a prerequisite for other courses in chemistry, biology, or geoscience, except by special permission of the instructors. The course focuses on three major elements of science as a discipline: 1) the nature and scope of science (science as a “way of knowing”; what science is and how it works; what makes science different from other disciplines), 2) the relationship between science and society (science and technology; the usefulness and limitations of science in society), and 3) the practice of science (hypothesis-testing and theory formation; experimental design; data collection and analysis). All three of these elements are approached using specific science content from different sciences, including biology, ecology, environmental science, chemistry, physics, earth science, and astronomy.
