Welcome to Astronomy 141. Through this course you’ll have an understanding of the sky, Earth, Moon and the Sun, the solar system and the universe. This laboratory course introduces the fundamentals of astronomy such as: the apparent motion of the sky, Sun, Moon and planets; the nature of light; gravity; the properties of planets; the life cycles of stars; and the structure of the universe. Laboratory and computer exercises will be used, and we will conduct one nighttime lab.

As the learning outcomes, students who succeed in this course may eventually respond to:

How does the process of science work, and how does that process manifest itself in astronomy?
How is astronomy of practical use? How has astronomy impacted our understanding of our world?
What is a planet, and how are planets similar to—and different from—one another?
What is the interior of the Earth like, and how do we know?
What is a star? How are the stars similar to and different from one another?
How did the universe get started? What is likely to happen to the universe in the distant future?

Course Description: This course examines the foundations, ideas, concerns, and implications of Black feminism within the context of the Black Atlantic. A major goal of this class is to foster dialogue and critical discussion about Black feminism as a site of theory and practice emphasizing social, political, and personal transformation.

CLDV100 (Liberal Arts) Introduction to Multicultural Studies in the 21st Century: 3 hrs. 3 crs.
A study of what culture is; how it influences the choices we make; how to deal positively with conflicts that inevitably arise in working/living situations with people of diverse cultures. It is a course structured to raise multicultural awareness and fortify students' social skills in dealing with cultural differences. It includes an ethnographic study of cultural groups in the U.S.A. Through the study of cultural concepts, this course develops skills in critical thinking, writing, and scholarly documentation. Not open to students with credit in CLDV 101 or Core 101. Prereq: ENG 125. Coreq: ENG 125. This is a Writing Intensive course. [Flexible Core: Individual and Society].

A study of what "culture" is; how we see it based on several factors, how it influences the choices and decision we make; how to deal positively with conflicts that inevitably arise in working /living situations with people of diverse cultures. This is a course structured to raise multicultural awareness and fortify students' social skills in dealing with cultural differences. It includes ethnographic study of cultural groups in the U.S.A and responses to shared values, observations or experiences based on student's ancestry, heritage, travels. Students will learn about culture "do and donts" around the world and provide the class with their own culture shock experience and how they overcame them. Through the study of cultural concepts, this course develops skills in critical thinking, writing and scholarly documentation.

This is a syllabus for PHIL 103 a Zero-Cost Course, using an OER textbook.

This course will present the basic concepts and technologies in computer organization and architecture. For example, logical devices and digital circuits, data representation, register transfer, central processor organization, microprogram control and organization, parallel computing. Although there could be multiple perspectives in studying computer architecture, our focus would be to better understand computer organization in order to design more efficient and reliable application software. The OER (Open Educational Resources) session of this course will have no textbook required (ZTC: Zero Textbook Cost), conduct lectures based on online resources and other open educational resources, and have students involved in active learning including giving presentations and creating and sharing open pedagogical materials, e.g., students need to finish four writing projects in this class (refer to course schedule on page 6) where each project is to write an article about a given topic in computer architecture on Wikipedia. Students writing articles about what they are learning can help them understand the course contents creatively.

This textbook began with the work of Karl Hagen, who published it under a Creative Commons license as “Navigating English Grammar” at his site Polysyllabic. As part of a project which started in Fall 2020, and is continuing as of Fall 2022, the textbook is intended to be read, annotated, and updated by ENG 270 courses at York College / CUNY, becoming a resource for future students, and ultimately becoming a textbook to be used by other students of the syntax of varieties of English.
