Non-Motorized Transportation Design and Planning. 3 Hours.

This course covers instruction in the basic principles of traffic control, traffic law enforcement, court procedures, and traffic law. Emphasis is on the need for a professional approach in dealing with traffic law violators and the police role in accident investigation and traffic supervision.

This course introduces the student to traffic management in industry. Topics include freight regulations, rates, classifications and documents, principles of managing traffic operations in a distribution center environment, international distribution, and hazardous material distribution.

A survey of the highway transportation system and traffic problems designed to give the driver education teacher an opportunity to develop an understanding of the scope and background of the various agencies and systems involved in the management of vehicular traffic at the national, state, and local level.

Major tragic texts from various cultures and ages, with some attention to theories of tragedy. Students may take this course twice for credit if the works studied are different.

A cross-genre survey of tragic literature that may begin with the classical tragedians and proceed through the present. This course, like tragedy itself, will focus on the individual confronting the larger forces of society, god, or fate. This course considers changing conceptions of the tragic whether in fiction, poetry, or drama. PW: Executive Systems, US and Global Citizenship
