This course is for biological and health science majors. General, organic, and biological chemistry are studied with an emphasis placed on medical applications. Topics in general chemistry will include the modern view of the atom, molecule structure, chemical formulas, and chemical reactions. Topics in organic chemistry will include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and amides. Topics in biochemistry will include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolism. Prerequisites: MATH V01, or one year of high school algebra, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Notes: This course is designed for students who are Allied Health Science majors. Formerly: CHEM V30; CHEM V30L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course is an introduction to matter and energy, atomic structure, nomenclature, chemical equations, stoichiometry, gases, thermochemistry, quantum chemistry, bonding, molecular geometry, oxidation-reduction, liquids and solids, and solutions. The laboratory provides the student with experience in applying the principles developed in the lecture component of the course. Quantitative experiments that illustrate the fundamental laws of chemistry are emphasized, including analysis of data and communication of results. Prerequisites: CHEM V101 with a grade of C or better, or CHEM V20 with a grade of C or better and CHEM V20L with a grade of C or better, or passing score on an AP/IB/CLEP exam in chemistry; and completion of Intermediate Algebra (MATH V03) or a higher-level mathematics course with a grade of C or better, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Formerly: CHEM V01A; CHEM V01AL. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

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.

In this course, students receive instruction in academic reading and writing, including writing processes, effective use of language, analytical thinking, and the foundations of academic research. This course takes a process-based approach to developing academic writing and critical reading skills. Students practice generating ideas, drafting, and revising to communicate effectively across audiences and purposes. Working with both low-stakes assignments and formal academic genres such as synthesis-driven arguments, literature reviews, and analytical essays, students develop analytical and collaborative skills through active engagement in the writing process. Students transform writing between scholarly and popular modes while integrating diverse sources as evidence. Through structured peer review and instructor feedback, students develop reading and revision strategies for writing across disciplines. The course includes multiple formal writing assignments totaling 5000 words. Notes: Prior to Common Course Numbering, this course was known as ENGL V01A. Prerequisites: Placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: ENGL 1A.
