Trident Learning

This course is designed to introduce students to basic standard algorithms, the manipulation of data structures and to some basic abstract data types.   The course also introduces students to the control structure of recursion, and to I/O operations using Direct Access Files.

The standard algorithms to be considered are: sorting- insertion, bubble sorts, searching- linear, binary searches.  The data structures to be considered: arrays, singly linked lists, and records. The Abstract data types to be considered: stacks, queues, binary trees. The approach used in this course will be theoretical with practical applications.

This course continues the study and use of circuits: Transistor circuits, Class A, B, C amplifiers and operational amplifier circuits.  Students learn different applications of op amps in circuits such as amplifiers, oscillators, adders, integrators, active filters and differentiators.

This course is designed to provide students with knowledge of the anatomical structure and functions of the human body.   It is designed as a source for the basic understanding of motor skills in relation to human movement. The course explores the mechanical, physiological and anatomical requirements of specific dance techniques; limitations of the body in performing these techniques, and methods to safely extend the body’s capacity for performance.  Students will study the anatomical structures and physiological functions of the human body as they relate to movements of the body.  It is intended to provide students with a chance to apply anatomical and biochemical analysis to the learning and improvement of skills.

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the structure and function of the human body as an entry point to understanding the adaptations that result from sport and exercise.  The course will provide students with both lecture and laboratory experiences to emphasize the importance of the principles of Anatomy and Physiology as core elements in the study of exercise science.  The course focuses on the normal structure and functioning of basic parts of the human body and introduces a systems approach to the study of the body.

This course complements Anatomy and Physiology I, and is organized into two principal areas of concentration concerning the human body: maintenance and continuity. 

This course focuses primarily on issues, principles and practices related to animal health with specific emphasis on pig and poultry production.  It highlights the critical aspects of disease prevention, detection and control at an introductory level, and helps to enhance students’ awareness of how they may better manage animal health. This course is divided into two concurrent modules – pig and poultry – and each module also includes an attachment session.

This course will allow students to understand the nutritional requirements of domestic farm animals and to be able to use locally available feed resources to meet those needs in ways that maximize profit to livestock.  It also introduces students to the processes involved in food consumption, absorption and utilization and conversion by the animals.  At the end of the course there are laboratory sessions which examine feed, its formulation and ingredients.

This course focuses primarily on issues, principles and practices related to animal production with specific emphasis on dairy, beef and small ruminants (sheep and goats).  It highlights the critical aspects of production particularly in the Barbadian context and explores the distinguishing physical and physiological differences among the species which impact on their management and productivity.  At the end of this course there is a separate attachment which helps to reinforce the practical components.
