This course satisfies the General Education science requirement for transfer to most universities, and is equivalent to ASTR110 (General Astronomy), but focuses more on the new discoveries made about our and other solar systems.
ASTR112 Laboratory accompanies ASTR110 or ASTR120 and satisifies the General Education physical science laboratory requirement.
This 1-unit, 3-hour laboratory class is for students taking (or those who have taken) PSC110 or PSC100. It satisfies the General Education science laboratory requirement for transfer to UC and CSU. It is also fun and makes use of everyday objects and situations to show that anyone can "do science"!
PHYC130 is the first of a 2-semester, calculus-based physics course sequence primarily for life-science majors. (STEM majors should instead take the 3-semester Physics 140/240/241 sequence.)
Laboratory associated with Dr. Thomas Pickett's PHYC140 lecture class (section 0323).
