This course is an exploration of visual art forms and their cultural connections across historical periods, designed for the student with little experience in the visual arts. It includes brief studies in art history, and in-depth inquiry into the elements, media and methods used in a wide range of creative processes. At the beginning of this course, you will learn a five-step system for developing an understanding of visual art in all forms, based on:
1. Description: A work of art from an objective point of view – its physical attributes and formal construction.
2. Analysis: A detailed look at a work of art that combines physical attributes with subjective statements based on the viewer's reaction to the work.
3. Context: Historical, religious or environmental information that surrounds a particular work of art and which helps to understand the work's meaning.
4. Meaning: A statement of the work's content. A message or narrative expressed by the subject matter.
5. Judgment: A critical point of view about a work of art concerning its aesthetic or cultural value.
After completing this course, you will be able to interpret works of art based on this five-step system; explain the processes involved in artistic production; identify the many kinds of issues that artists examine in their work; and explain the role and effect of the visual arts in different social, historical and cultural contexts.

The course Bio-Inspired Design gives an overview of non-conventional mechanical approaches in nature and shows how this knowledge can lead to more creativity in mechanical design and to better (simpler, smaller, more robust) solutions than with conventional technology. The course discusses a large number of biological organisms with smart constructions, unusual mechanisms or clever sensing and processing methods and presents a number of technical examples and designs of bio-inspired instruments and machines.

Test anxiety is real. Millions of students all over the country experience this vague sense of unease when it comes to testing. Psychology gives us insight into what is going on with our bodies in response to something like test anxiety. In fact, when a person understands their body’s response to anxiety, it can be helpful in dealing with it. The purpose of this project is to better understand how the body’s structures (i.e., parts), functions (i.e., what those parts do), and systems operate when a student experiences test anxiety.
Abbreviated Directions: On a piece of very large paper or poster board, label and explain the role and/or process of biological structures, functions, and systems that are activated when a student is experiencing test anxiety.

Each of the following essay prompts is suitable as a single midterm or late-semester writing assignment for sophomore-level British literature students. The essays themselves are intended as stand-alone key assignments, rather than a sequence. They are currently used on a rotating basis in British Literature I sections at Palo Alto College -- one per term. While they are designed to align with institutional learning objectives at Palo Alto College in San Antonio, Texas, the prompts are adaptable outside this context, and are available to instructors elsewhere for broader educational use.

This course is an introduction to the calculus of functions of several variables. It begins with studying the basic objects of multidimensional geometry: vectors and vector operations, lines, planes, cylinders, quadric surfaces, and various coordinate systems. It continues with the elementary differential geometry of vector functions and space curves. After this, it extends the basic tools of differential calculus - limits, continuity, derivatives, linearization, and optimization - to multidimensional problems. The course will conclude with a study of integration in higher dimensions, culminating in a multidimensional version of the substitution rule.
