Welcome to Africana Folklore. This course explores the oral, customary and material folklore of Africans and their descendants in the Americas and the Caribbean. We will use readings and films to examine various ways West African folklore was transmitted to and survived in the New World, and how Africans in the Americas created new oral, customary and material traditions. We will compare and contrast fictional and historical folk characters from Africa, the Northern and Southern American hemispheres, with a special focus on the English, Spanish and French-speaking Caribbean. We will examine some of the customs and practices that continue to exist in those regions and how all have contributed to global culture. In addition to required readings, there will also be weekly writing exercises. This course is designed to help prepare you for further academic study in general, and African, African-American and Caribbean studies, specifically. It will introduce you to the various disciplines that inform the study of people of African descent worldwide.

This course is an introduction to modern telephone networks and interfaces. Telephone sets, the central office and the Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) are discussed in detail. Private Branch Exchanges (PBX) and public switches, both digital and analog, are discussed, with emphasis on features, signaling and technology. Concludes with the transmission of audio signals through different networks. Laboratory experiments supplement the course and expose students to the fundamentals of telephony.

This is the laboratory component of Anatomy & Physiology I. The concepts covered range from anatomical terminology, directional terms, body orientation to exercises on tissues, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.

This course is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I. It covers the study of the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive and endocrine system, as well as development, metabolism, electrolytes and acid base balance.

This is the open educational resource for BIO2311: Anatomy & Physiology I. This site provides all you will need for the course including a syllabus, link to the textbook, lecture notes, assignments, and all other related resources.

This course is the first part of the two semester course of Anatomy and Physiology. It integrates the anatomy and physiology of cells, tissues, organs and human body systems, It includes the study of the gross and microscopic structure of the systems of the human body with special emphasis on the relationship between structure and function. It is based on OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology book and is supplemented by content from the Open Learning Initiative (Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initative) and Boundless Physiology Open Book.

The Art & Architecture of Africa course (OL90) is designed to be an historical study of the plastic arts and traditional architecture produced by indigenous African societies from ancient Egypt down the Nile Valley to Central, East and Southern African regions. It also includes a broad overview of contemporary art practices across the continent.

This course is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I. It covers the study of the structure and function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, digestive and endocrine system, as well as development, metabolism, electrolytes and acid base balance.

This course provides students with a broad introduction to the field of molecular evolution and phylogenetics. The first portion of the course focuses on foundational genetic and evolutionary principles, whereas the latter half of the course discusses how phylogenies are created from molecular sequences and can be used to test specific evolutionary hypotheses. Computer laboratories provide hand-on experience with analyzing molecular data for evolutionary inference.

The objective of the course is to examine current practices in the apparel industry in the areas listed below, divided into three modules of instruction. The course culminates in a final module during which students will develop their original ideas based on research in these areas:

Module 1: Fair Trade and Ethics Global practices in the industry
Module 2: Sustainability and Sustainable Alternatives Biosynthetic materials being developed in conjunction with efforts to thwart climate change
Module 3: Technology in Fashion Smart textiles that redefine functionality of garments
Module 4: Design, Market and Pitch a product or collection grounded in one of these emerging areas of the fashion industry

This course is a continuation of Bioinformatics I. Topics include gene expression, microarrays, next- generation sequencing methods, RNA-seq, large genomic projects, protein structure and stability, protein folding, and computational structure prediction of proteins; proteomics; and protein-nucleic acid interactions. The lab component includes R-based statistical data analysis on large datasets, introduction to big data analysis tools, protein visualization software, internet-based tools and high-level programming languages.

This site is an OER for BIology II and contains all the materials needed for the course including lecture slides and labs.

This is the Open Lab Site for COM 3401, where you will find all of the course materials for Business and Professional Communication.

This course provides the student with a basic knowledge of Plumbing, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Electrical Systems used in residential and commercial-industrial buildings. Modern methods and current equipment are emphasized.

Fundamentals of fluid mechanics including: properties of fluids, fluid statics, manometers, center of pressure, buoyancy, stability, principles of fluid flow, flow measurements, frictional head losses, conservation of momentum and energy, pump power and efficient, and open channel flow

Model course site for COMD1100 Graphic Design Principles 1 at CUNY's New York City College of Technology.

An introductory course designed to explore the basic tools, techniques and principles of drawing. The course also covers projection systems, plans, elevations, sections, oblique, isometric, one point perspective and two point perspective views. Students learn to further render forms and texture through analysis of light and shadow and by utilizing the 5-value system

A foundation course in typography with emphasis on using type in industry related applications from print to interactive. Students will be introduced to principles of type design and terminology
