This course introduces the basics of photography through its historical lens, visual aesthetics, and critical language as a visual tool for communication, from its analogue roots to contemporary digital platforms. Students will explore photography’s history as an art form and examine its major influential photographic styles. Students will be encouraged to analyze and critique photographic images within their cultural context. Students will learn fundamental techniques and how to operate SLR-style cameras for proper exposure. They will use both film and digital capture, learning appropriate workflows from capture to print. The course includes lectures, presentations, demonstrations, lab work, readings, photographic shooting assignments, and critiques. Students may work with their own cameras or check-out cameras through the department. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Notes: UC Credit Limitation: PHOT V01 and PHOT V02, combined - maximum credit, one course (see counselor). Formerly: Photo 1.

This course is an introduction to statistical thinking and processes, including methods and concepts for discovery and decision-making using data. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability and sampling distributions; statistical inference; correlation and linear regression; analysis of variance, chi-squared, and t-tests; and application of technology for statistical analysis including the interpretation of the relevance of the statistical findings. Students apply methods and processes to applications using data from a broad range of disciplines. Successful completion of this course fulfills the mathematics competency requirement for the AA/AS degree. Notes: Prior to Common Course Numbering, this course was known as MATH V44. Prerequisites: Placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process or completion of a course taught at or above the level of intermediate algebra. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: MATH V44; Math 44.
