This course examines some of the most important political revolutions that took place between the 17th century and today, beginning with pre-revolutionary Europe and the Enlightenment and continuing with the English Revolution of the 17th century, the American and the French Revolutions, the Mexican Revolution, the Russian and the Chinese Revolutions, the Iranian Revolution, and finally, the Eastern European revolutions of 1989, which brought about radical changes without recourse to violence. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: provide a concise historical narrative of each of the revolutions presented in the course; identify the origins and causes of each revolution, and compare revolutions with respect to their causes; analyze the goals and ideals of the revolutionaries, and compare how these functioned in various modern revolutions; discuss how revolutions in various parts of the world have affected womenĺÎĺ_ĺĚĺ_s rights; analyze how religious and secular worldviews came into conflict during times of upheaval and revolution; discuss the patterns and dynamics of revolutionary violence, and evaluate how revolutionaries have used non violent tactics against oppressive regimes; evaluate connections between revolutionary ideologies and revolutionary events; analyze how the legacies of each revolution are present in modern politics; describe and evaluate competing theoretical models of revolutionary change; interpret primary historical documents. This free course may be completed online at any time. (History 362)

From post-reconstruction to the recent past, this course is based on The American Yawp Textbook chapters 16-30.  (The American Yawp: A Massively Collaborative Open U.S. History Textbook by Stanford University Press is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0) This course incorporates additional readings and videos and includes essays for assessment of student knowledge.There is a Perusall companion course available for the readings in this course.

Recently, you may have noticed a lot of big news coming out of Indigenous America, from protests at Standing Rock to the return of wild bison to efforts to bring home ancestral remains and artifacts. But when you talk to the movers and shakers, the conversation often comes back around to a bitter history – the Plains Indian Wars. In Season 6 of the Modern West Podcast, we hear the story from the point of view of the Plains tribes themselves. We discover how raw that story still is, and yet how communities are coming together to heal it.

This Module helps students to explore the process of solving linear equations. Students will make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties. They will also develop models to generate data and use technology to seek feedback while completing different activities that guide them through the process of solving linear equations. Students will complete various activities from watching Youtube videos to completing Google Docs and FlipGrids explaining their rationale. 

This module helps students to explore the different methods of solving systems. It includes solving systems by graphing, elimination, substitution and matrices. The module also integrates the use of technology by introducing the online graphing software Geogebra. Students will be able to explore the software through a Geogebra webquest as well as an assessment. The assesmment  will test the students ability on their understanding of the different methods and allow them to create connections to the specific content and real word applications. 

This module consists of lessons that involve solving equations. The lessons allow students to be able to build and manipulate equations to reach common answers. The module also provides a sneak peek into Physics allowing students to apply their understanding behind rearranging and solving their equations. Lessons include openers where students build upon their background knowledge and closures to have a formative assesment on each of the lessons. Included in the module is a interactive Jeopardy review games where students can be grouped together to gain the most points!

This Module helps students to explore the process of solving systems of equations. Students will use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction to make connections to solving systems of equations. Students will complete various activities from watching Youtube videos to completing Google Docs and FlipGrids explaining their rationale. Students will also read articles to analyze applications of solving systems of equations. 

This Module helps students to explore the process of solving quadratic equations. Students will use mathematical modeling and reasoning to make connections to solving systems of equations. Students will complete various activities from watching Youtube videos to completing Google Docs and FlipGrids explaining their rationale. Students will also read articles to analyze applications of solving systems of equations and follow along with Khan Academy and Emaze presentations.

Topic: Arts - Painting  Aims:To learn about famous paintings and different styles of art.To collaborate on writing a painting description.  Objectives:Define in loose terms what art is.Identify different types of paintings.Develop their art-related vocabulary.Extract specific information from a listening input.Formulate simple sentences in Passive Voice (Simple Present).Synthesize input to compose a painting description, by utilizing text-structure theory.Gain more experience in collaborating using web 2.0. tools (google docs)

This module has chapters divided into sections.These include classification of plants,study of their parts structure and functions.This includes learing objectives,material,resource list,activites(quiz,puzzles,crossword,google form,padlet),assessments(activity based),videos.It summarises the chapter into a concept map later in section 7.It also include an extended learning section 11 where learners can go through for further information

This chemistry activity was created to enhance student learning around determining the molarity of solutions. It guides students through Phet simulations and then asks comprehension questions thereafter.

You probably remember the mole from high school chemistry, but do you remember why it is useful to chemists? The goal of the following video is to give the "big picture" of the mole and its applications; information on how to use the mole in calculations can be found in another tutorial. Throughout this course, we will use the term "molecular weight" to refer to the mass of a mole of a substance (for instance, the molecular weight of oxygen (O2) is 32 g/mol). Recent textbooks refer to this as "molar mass" to emphasize (i) that this term refers to the mass, not the weight, of substance, and (ii) that the quantity refers to a mole of a substance, not a single molecule. "Molecular weight" may be less precise, but it remains the term that most practicing chemists use in the laboratory. For this reason, we continue to use "molecular weight" in this course.

Each spring, students in a 300-level field course collect samples from urban community gardens to monitor soil lead concentrations.

Hydrology students are asked to participate in a service-learning project that involves a long-term stream monitoring project. The strengths of this laboratory exercise are that it integrates classroom knowledge with fieldwork, as well as providing the students with a "reason" for doing the lab.

 The course seeks to familiarize the learners with the possibilities involved in the management of diabetes and hypertension. This course is to make medical knowledge simpler and accessible for common people. This will help reduce anxiety about the diseases. Reduction in the incidence of threatening complications like cerebral stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, blindness,  diabetic foot and amputations is the goal we need to achieve. The health-aware person, a learner of this course, can be a patient itself, a relative, a neighbor, or anyone from society. Some basic education and a will to help the patient is all that is required.
