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:
In-Person Classes

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. Prerequisite: ENGL 111. (3,0) 3

This course provides an exciting, fun, and safe environment to begin a college-level study of acting. These simple, doable acting techniques will help students express their ideas and thoughts more fully. Working to get students present in the moment, this course will introduce physically active games and exercises that activate all the actor’s tools including breath, body, face, voice, and knees through releasing tension and embracing the imagination. Open to all majors.
