Trident Learning

This course is designed to enable students to manipulate algebraic expressions and trigonometric equations so as to obtain valid solutions.  Topics covered include: solution of quadratic equations; identities and equations; partial fractions; Remainder and Factor theorems; indices; logarithms; binomial series expansion; plane trigonometry; trigonometric ratios; trigonometric identities and equations.

This course is designed to provide a general introduction to problem solving, structured algorithm design, as well as, an introduction to programming using a structured High Level Language. The problem-solving component will focus on analysis of problems. The structured algorithm design component will focus on techniques used to represent an algorithm design, testing the correctness of algorithms and measuring the efficiency of algorithms. This course will also introduce students to different types of High Level Languages.  The main areas that will be covered in the introduction to programming are data types, input/output operations, control structures and subprograms.

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.

Anatomy and Physiology II, the final two courses in this subject area is designed to further student’s knowledge of the body by using a systems approach.  The course continues to examine the mechanical basis of movement and offers an exploration of the chemical basis of human function with special emphasis on movement.
