College Courses
With Lake Superior State University being our new neighbor, we can now enhance our dual enrollment program. We recently have in-person classes and online classes from which students can access. Currently, we have these classes in person taught by Nikki Ulrich:

While we grow our in-person classes we still have plenty of online courses available, such as:
Online Classes
ENGL110 provides students with an introduction to the discipline of writing through an exploration of their own writing processes and products. Emphasis is placed on students learning to think critically about their own writing in order to address issues of coherence, grammar, mechanics, organization, clarity and content. Other material covered includes the role of literacy in society, the ways in which readers engage text, and the role of writing at the college level. (3,0) 3
First-Year Composition II prepares students for the complex demands of academic literacy and research. These require students to be able to critically observe personal and public knowledge; ask questions of reading and research; formulate hypotheses; design and conduct research projects, both in the library and in the field; and identify further avenues of inquiry. To help students develop these abilities, the course also teaches students the basic skills of analysis, interpretation, critical thinking and documentation. Required course work included completion of an extended research project. Prerequisite: a grade of C or higher in ENGL110. (3,0) 3
Certain actions seem to be demanded by morality and certain actions seem to be
prohibited by morality. In addition, there are many actions in which we have difficulty extending
praise or blame. The study of Ethical Theory constitutes the study of philosophers’ evaluations of
behavior, character, and even the term of such evaluation (e.g., ‘goodness,’ ‘value,’ ‘right,’ and
‘obligation’). this course will examine the ethical theories of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle,
Kant, Bentham, and Mill as well as contemporary applications of ethical theories. Topics such as
terrorism, ethics in the professions, the environment, and religiously motivated behavior are
timely and appropriate topics for evaluating the connections between moral reasoning and our
modes of living.3 credits
