CS 219 - Programming Fundamentals
This course continues the development of the programming and problem solving skills introduced in CS 151. Programming concepts will be put into practice by using Java for programming projects. Students will learn about object-oriented programming and two of its key components - inheritance and polymorphism. Additionally, students will learn about these topics: graphical user interface components, event-driven programming, exception handling, files.
Prerequisites: Any math course ≥ MA 131, a grade of 'C' or better in CS 151.
Suggested prerequisite: CS 140. 3:0:3

Instructor: Leo Christopherson
If you have taken CS 151, and need credit for CS 219, you may wish to take this face-to-face programming class. Some students find on-line programming courses rather more difficult than on-campus classes. Please join our class if you feel that way, and receive individual attention as needed. CS 219 is "the other half" of the Java programming offered by Park. It can fulfill a language requirement for some majors (check with the Park/Fairchild office for details).

EC 141 - Principles of Economics I (Macro)
A study of the contemporary American economy; the role of investment, consumption, and government on income determination; and an analysis of the foreign sector. Emphasis is on contemporary problems: unemployment, inflation, and growth. 3:0:3

Macroeconomics is the study of the American economy from the perspective of mostly dead people. Come find out the truth about what affects the economy, and how the economy affects you, all this from the perspective of a real live economist who actually does this stuff for a living (pun intended).
In the true spirit of Mark Twain, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Instructor: Lanny Burrill
It is time to finally attack that math class that you need for your CCAF AA degree and your next promotion. MA 105 is a review of your first 10 years of math starting in the first grade. Yes we start with addition and subtraction and in 8 weeks you will be confidently working on the basics of algebra. Bring a friend and your lunch to this noon to 1:15 class and learn to love math too.

MA 131 - College Algebra
Fundamentals of basic algebra. Topics include the real number system, basic operations of algebra, linear and quadratic equations, inequalities and functions and graphs. Additional topics may include exponents and logarithms, fundamental techniques of counting. 3:0:3

The above picture is a screen shot from a file created in "Alice", the 3D animated graphics programming language. We at Park use this program for our Computer Science 144 beginning programming course.

To download the animated file, click on the picture and save the file, "Park_Christmas_Card.a2w" (3 MB), on your computer.

If you do not have Alice installed on your computer, you can download it free from the Alice website. Once Alice is installed, open it and load the Park Christmas Card file. Clicking on PLAY will start the animation and sound.

We hope you will enjoy our little season's greetings!
