Items 6A.4 (CPSC-40A), 6A.5 (CPSC-40B), 6A.7 (ELCT-40A), 6A.8 (ELCT-40B), and 6A.10 (ELCT-40D) were pulled by Dee Near. Dee stated that the assignments required the students to do written assignments on computer literacy, but the Library section on CurricUNET is blanked. Bill Walls agreed and thought we addressed this at Tech Review. It was agreed to add the standard statement “Library books, periodicals, and databases” to the Library section on CurricUNET.

Items 6A.5 (CPSC-40B) and 6A.8 (ELCT-40B) were pulled by Dee Near. Dee noted that the textbook is dated 2008 and will cause problems with articulation. Bill Walls stated that there is a new addition and believed it was 2014. It was agreed that Bill will give Julie Clark the updated year after the meeting.

Item 6C.1 (BUS-18A) was pulled by Dee Near. Dee stated that the faculty are requesting ENGL-85 and BUS-10 be added as prerequisites, but questioned justification. Dee stated the 3 universities provided required ENGL-01A instead of ENGL-85 and none required BUS-10. Dee went on to think this had to do with a C-ID requirement. Julie Clark brought up the C-ID descriptor for BUS-18A and it does not require any prerequisites. Julie went on to explain that Karen Fritz wanted to add an English prerequisite and thought ENGL-85 would be sufficient. Denise Rempel advised that transfer courses should use ENGL-01A as a prerequisite. Julie reminded everyone that this course is a CTE course and is due for review every 2 years, so that Karen can try ENGL-85 for 2 years and decided to increase it to ENGL-01A at the next review. Julie went on to explain that we do not have a policy on validating prerequisites within the discipline so that is why BUS-10 is allowed.

The remainder of the unitrequirement is also to be selected from among these four divisions of learning or as determined by local option:

(A) Natural Sciences. Courses in the natural sciences are those which examine the physical universe, its life forms,and its natural phenomena. To satisfy the general education requirement in natural sciences, a course shall bedesigned to help the student develop an appreciation and understanding of the scientific method, and encourage anunderstanding of the relationships between science and other human activities. This category would includeintroductory or integrative courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, general physical science, geology, meteorology,oceanography, physical geography, physical anthropology, physics and other scientific disciplines.

(B) Social and Behavioral Sciences. Courses in the social and behavioral sciences are those which focus on peopleas members of society. To satisfy the general education requirement in social and behavioral sciences, a course shallbe designed to develop an awareness of the method of inquiry used by the social and behavioral sciences. It shall bedesigned to stimulate critical thinking about the ways people act and have acted in response to their societies andshould promote appreciation of how societies and social subgroups operate. This category would include introductoryor integrative survey courses in cultural anthropology, cultural geography, economics, history, political science,psychology, sociology and related disciplines.

(C) Humanities. Courses in the humanities are those which study the cultural activities and artistic expressions ofhuman beings. To satisfy the general education requirement in the humanities, a course shall be designed to help thestudent develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures haveresponded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student developaesthetic understanding and an ability to make value judgments. Such courses could include introductory orintegrative courses in the arts, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, and religion.

(D) Language and Rationality.

(2) Ethnic Studies will be offered in at least one of the areas required by subdivision (1).

(c) While a course might satisfy more than one general education requirement, it may not be counted more than once forthese purposes. A course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a major or area of emphasisrequirement. Whether it may be counted again for a different degree requirement is a matter for each college to determine.Students may use the same course to meet a general education requirement for the associate degree and to partiallysatisfy a general education requirement at the California State University, if such course is accepted by that system tosatisfy a general education requirement.

(d) For the purpose of this section, “satisfactorily completed” means either credit earned on a “pass-no pass” basis or agrade point average of 2.0 or better in community college credit courses in the curriculum upon which the degree is based.
