*Onsite Courses of Special Interest for Spring*
Here are few to notice:
*ART 113: 3-D Design* – Popular instructor and artist, Brandon
Lutterman<http://bowdoinorient.com/article/5809>,
will be back to teach another section of 3-D Design in Rockland on Fridays
from 9 – 2:30. Lutterman and his former Rockland students created wonderful
mobiles that hung in our student lounge during the last class. And remember
Sierra’s fabulous newsprint ball gown? Brandon is fun and inspiring. If you
are not an art student, think of this as a wonderful general elective!
*ART 109: Photographic Vision and Digital Discovery* – Dee Peppe will be
offering this one which counts as a “performing art” on Tuesday and
Thursday nights from 7:00 – 9:00PM. Learn great skills to use every day as
a proficient photographer!
*BIO 114E – Principles of Evolution *(descriptive science) – “Ground
Breaking!” “Game Changing!” “Revolutionary!” With a scholarly history
spanning more than 2000 years, the theory of evolution continues to provide
a context for understanding the natural world. Evolutionary theory provides
us with another avenue of insight into why humans behave as we do, get ill
the way we do, and respond to change the way we do. Recent findings in the
molecular biology of evolution are transforming our understanding of
diversity, change, and adaptation. Modern application of evolutionary
theory has expanded into medicine, agriculture, archaeology, forensics,
conservation biology, marketing, psychology, and even computer programming!
Email instructor Phil Gerard <[log in to unmask]> with questions.
*CIS 240: Networking Concepts* – Faculty member, Mark Goodridge, provides
an introduction to telecommunications and networking. Topics include:
equipment and protocols, network architecture, public and local networks
and data security. These are great skills for any computer students.
