managIng organIzatIonal Change
One of the key attributes of any new initiative at work
is that it involves and introduces change to the people
and groups that are affected by the initiative’s product
or result. Think of how a process redesign project
changes the way employees perform their work or
how a new IT system requires end-users to learn new
skills. This organizational change (or the people-side
of change)—when poorly managed or ignored—is
often what leads to unhappy stakeholders and failures
at work. You will learn how to avoid these pitfalls by
managing this organizational change like a project to
help ensure success. Tuition waiver applies; seniors

stakeholDer management
One of the most challenging aspects of any work
initiative or project is identifying and balancing the
different—and often competing—expectations of the
many people who have “a stake” in the work effort.
These stakeholders (those persons or groups that will
affect or be affected by your work) could ultimately
determine its success or failure. In fact one of the
definitions of initiative or project success is 'achieving
stakeholder approval and customer satisfaction'. By
practicing good stakeholder management, you greatly
increase your chances of doing just that. In this
class you will learn how to: identify and prioritize
your stakeholders, plan the management of those
stakeholders, and manage their expectations—all to
help ensure your work initiative's success. Tuition
waiver applies; seniors pay fee only.

Have you ever thought about how we share the world
with animals? Endangered species? And how insects
help and hurt us? Did you know that Grizzly Bears
are at the top-of-the-food chain predators, yet most
of their diet consists of plants, nuts and berries? The
word “grizzly” refers to “grizzled” or gray hairs
in its fur. A pronounced hump on their shoulders
distinguishes the grizzly from a black bear. Join us as
we learn what’s threatening their existence. You will
explore different types of animals, vertebrates and
invertebrates, and how they are organized in nature.
You will be engaged through reading activities, small

Dramatic play can be defined as a type of play where
students accept and assign roles, and then act them
out. You will break through the walls of reality,
pretend to be someone or something different from
yourselves, and dramatize situations and actions
to go along with the roles you have chosen to
play. While this type of play may be viewed as
frivolous by some, it remains an integral part of the
developmental learning process by allowing students
to develop skills in such areas as abstract thinking,
literacy, math, social studies, and communications
in a natural manner. Learn comprehension strategies
using dramatic script, costumes, and puppetry. You
will design a final project, make your own puppets,
and create a theater show!

CompTIA is a provider of professional certifications
for the Information Technology (IT) industry. A
CompTIA A+ certified technician is recognized by
the industry as having entry-level IT job skills equal
to at least 12 months experience in the lab or field.
Jobs you can do with these skills include IT Support,
Field Service, Technical Support Specialist, and
similar. The newest A+ certification was released in
late 2012 and is known by the exam numbers 220-801
and 220-802. You must pass two exams to earn the
certification. The exams are not a part of this class.
Montgomery College has a long and successful record
of training A+ certified technicians.
The Module One: A+ 220-801 course will train you
in the topics which are part of the 220-801 exam. The
Module Two: A+ 220-802 will focus on the 220-802
exam topics. Because the two tests cover overlapping
material, most students will want to take their exams
after completing both courses. Over the two courses
you will learn to assemble and disassemble desktop
and notebook PCs; install, configure, and maintain
devices, PCs and software for end users; understand
the basics of networking and security/forensics; and
properly and safely diagnose, resolve, and document
common issues while applying troubleshooting skills.
You will also learn to provide appropriate customer
support and understand the basics of virtualization,
desktop imaging, and deployment. Prerequisites:

Cuba: the neW revolutIon?
The announcement on December 17, 2014, that
the United States would normalize relations with
Cuba represented a historical breakthrough. Will
this normalization be the harbinger and engine of
true change for an island that has been seemingly
preserved in amber since the 1960’s when its
iconically famous Revolutionaries took Havana? This
course will provide an in-depth look at the politics,
sociology and culture of Cuba--leading up to, during,
and on what might be the end of the long lasting
regime established by its Revolution. We will draw
on a range of historical documents and cultural forms
as a window into what Revolutionary Cuba was and
the new Cuba that is possible.Tuition waiver applies;

Many adjectives can be used to describe Vincent
van Gogh: a post-impressionist, genius, tragic, and
mysterious. His painting style was unique and his
use of color dramatic. Van Gogh lived in the midst
of, and on the forefront of, the artistic revolution of
the 20th century. Although he only sold one painting
during his life, nearly 100 years after his death, his

Explore the fascinating and complex historical and
literary background of the Bible. Too often, this
remarkable masterpiece is approached strictly as a
source of religious doctrine, ignoring the real fleshand-blood humans who composed these works. Like
all great literature, much of the Bible reflects a human
drama involving the search for the nature and meaning
of what it is to be human and how the individual
and communities seek connection to transcendent
meaning and value. In this course, we will discuss a
connection between biblical and world events while
also examining the literary characteristics of the
Bible within the context of ancient literature. We will
explore the multiple genres of biblical literature such
as narrative, poetry, law, history, and the way these
genres reflect multiple voices within the text. Tuition

Mind mapping is an effective project management
tool to save time and improve communication with
the team and other stakeholders in an effective and
creative way. A mind map is a graphical diagram
consisting of nodes, branches, colors, and icons
used to convey ideas efficiently. They are simple to
create and understand, and are often used to focus
brainstorming sessions and work breakdown structure
creation. Learn how to create and apply mind maps
in project management and get links to a variety
of free templates that you can use immediately to
get started with mind maps. This powerful project
management technique can be used for strategic
planning, requirements, work breakdown structure,
risk identification, accelerated learning, and project
planning. If you are interested in using mind mapping
as an alternative to (or enhancement of) project
management software, this course is a good place to
start. (4 PDUs) Prerequisites: none.

Advanced Fast Track is also a 20-hour review course, but covers
elementary algebra and intermediate algebra topics. To take Advanced

Workforce Development & Continuing Education
What Is WorkforCe DeveloPment &
ContInuIng eDuCatIon?
The Workforce Development & Continuing Education
(WD&CE) programs at Montgomery College provide
a wide range of noncredit and credit educational
offerings and services designed to meet the needs of
county residents and businesses. Individuals in career
transitions, those reentering the workforce, and those
maintaining current technical skills, as well as those
seeking lifelong education enrichment experiences,
are among the 25,000 students each year. High-quality
noncredit courses are available in numerous program
areas including information technology, small business
and management, technical training, certification
and licensure preparation, financial planning, real
estate, early childhood education, health sciences,
professional development, writing, English as a Second
Language, human resources, supervision, and more.
Special programs are available for older adults, adults
with developmental disabilities, and Spanish speakers.
Course offerings change continuously to reflect the
ever-changing needs of the businesses and communities
we serve. As you peruse the programs and services in
this publication, we’re sure you’ll find a wide variety
of offerings suited to you.
In addition to classes for individuals, we contract with
many businesses and government agencies to provide
customized training for their employees. These classes
are held at places of employment or can be offered at
WD&CE sites throughout the county.
A
When you enroll in one of our Workforce
Development & Continuing Education courses,
you will be joining more than 25,000 people who have
attended our programs during the past year. These
people come from diverse backgrounds but have
one thing in common: the desire to learn new things.
Although the median age of our students is 40, many of
our students are young or older adults. Students come
from all corners of the community, regardless of age
and educational experience.
A
Our faculty are carefully screened professionals with
expertise in their fields. Some are drawn from the
College’s credit faculty. Instructors are hand-picked
for their teaching skills, professional knowledge, and
talent, ensuring our reputation as a provider of highquality courses.
Where to fInD us
Classes are held on the Germantown, Rockville, or
Takoma Park/Silver Spring campuses at Montgomery
College and two satellite campuses—Westfield South
in Wheaton and the Gaithersburg Business Training
Center in Olde Towne Gaithersburg. Additional offcampus locations have been selected for convenience,
amenities, and suitability for instruction. Classes
meet at more than 40 locations countywide, including
on site at places of employment.
M
Montgomery College is committed to equal employment
opportunity that assures access, equity, and diversity.
Further, the College is committed to providing an
environment in which all persons are provided the
opportunity for employment, participation in academic
programs, and/or other college activities free from
discrimination, any form of harassment as prohibited
by federal regulations and state law, and sexual assault.
S
Students must be 16 or older, or have permission of
the program area by the start date of class, in order to
participate. Call 240-567-5188 for more information.
<Co-lIsteD Classes
Classes marked with this symbol < are co-listed.
They are offered so that students may register either
for credit or continuing education (noncredit) status.
Co-listing gives students an option to choose the best
path for their educational needs. Each section includes
both credit and noncredit students. For students seeking
credit classes, please consult the credit course schedule.
The expectations for attendance, participation, and
effort are the same for all students. Instructors will
announce policies concerning class activities. Students
purchase books at the bookstore on the campus where
the class is held.
If you have registered as a noncredit student in a
co-listed course and you wish to change from noncredit
to credit status, you will have one day after the class
has begun to change to credit status. After that, you
are committed to your path as a noncredit student
for the remainder of the course. If the course has
a required assessment level to be a credit student,
you must first complete the assessment testing and
meet the appropriate assessment level before you can
change to credit status. Dates for co-listed classes
may reflect the actual credit term dates. Please check
the day on your calendar for the actual start date of
your class.

The parking permit is free to students but you must
register your vehicle.
All Students registered for WD&CE classes spanning
greater than 15 days from start to end date MUST
obtain a parking permit following steps 1 to 4 below.
