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.

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.

This course is a survey of the physiological principles, function, integration, and homeostasis of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, and organism level. Lecture explores the physiology of the integumentary system, bone, muscle tissue, nervous system, sensory organs, cardiovascular system, lymphatic and immune systems, respiratory system, urinary system, digestive system, endocrine system, and reproductive system. Laboratory experiments emphasize an understanding of physiological principles and introduce students to common techniques and instruments used in the discipline. Prerequisites: ANAT V01 or concurrent enrollment; and CHEM V120 or CHEM V101 or CHEM V104 or 1 year of high school chemistry with a grade of "C" or better. Transfer credit: CSU; UC; credit limitations - see counselor. Notes: This course is intended for nursing, allied health, kinesiology, and other health science related majors.
