Develops critical thinking and writing skills in close textual analysis of issues and themes in fiction, poetry, and drama as well as in non-fictional literature and literary criticism. Reviews deductive and inductive reasoning, recognition and avoidance of logical fallacies, and relationships between language and meaning while emphasizing detailed critical analysis. Course Credit Limitations: Credit will not be awarded for both honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of “C” or better or "P". Moorpark College Honors Program requires a letter grade. Field trips may be required.

In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. This is an honors course. Emphasizes expository writing and research, demonstrating principles of thesis and support, rhetorical organization, control of diction, clear sentence and paragraph construction, and command of the conventions of English usage. Develops analytical and interpretive reading skills. Honors work challenges students to be more analytical and creative through expanded assignments, real-world applications and enrichment opportunities. Prerequisites: College Writing or Eligibility for ENGL C1000 as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

Examines dance through lectures and viewing dance performances both live and on video. Presents the developments of dance within each of the major genres and analyzes the factors which have influenced change in dance historically, culturally, and as an art form. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: DANC M01A.

Examines the relationships which exist between two important branches of mechanics, namely, statics and strength of materials. Applies the principles of statics to the study of forces both external and internal to the body, moments and couples, responsible for maintaining a state of equilibrium. Uses the principles of strength to investigate the effects of external and internal loadings on the stability and deformation of the body. Analyzes two- and three-dimensional force systems including frictional forces, support reactions, and distributed forces with respect to rigid bodies, trusses, frames, machines, beams, and shafts. Incorporates concepts of centroids, area moments of inertia, stresses, strains, Mohr’s Circle, shear and bending moment diagrams, ductile and brittle failure theories, and deformations associated with axial, torsional, and flexural loadings. Surveys analysis of statically indeterminate axially loaded members. Prerequisites: PHYS M20A and PHYS M20AL and MATH M25B or MATH M25BH or concurrent enrollment in MATH M25B or MATH M25BH. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.
