Cultural anthropologists seek to understand the diversity of human experience, focusing on a set of central issues: how people around the world make their living (subsistence patterns); how they organize themselves socially, politically and economically; how they communicate; how they relate to each other through marriage, family and kinship ties; what they believe about the world (religion and belief systems); how they express themselves creatively (the arts and expressive culture); how they make distinctions among themselves; how they have shaped and been shaped by the past; and how they navigate culture change and processes of globalization. Ethnographic case studies highlight these similarities and differences, and introduce students to how anthropologists do their work, employ professional anthropological research ethics and apply their perspectives and skills to understand humans around the globe.

Using critical thinking, this course will identify and analyze contemporary social problems including causes, consequences, and possible solutions. Application of critical thinking skills, specifically taught in the course, is designed to result in heightened critical thinking ability as well as strengthened social awareness concerning social problems. In the study of social problems, theoretical perspectives and sociological methods of research and analysis will be applied. This course uses both inductive and deductive forms of reasoning, including identifying formal and informal fallacies and analyzing the evidence on which conclusions are based. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Surveys the economic, historical, and social influences upon these representations from early cinema to the present, focusing on both images of women onscreen and influences of women behind the scenes. Analyzes women's filmmaking, images of masculinity, the male gaze, and various "screen sexualities" and other representations of women. Introduces a variety of film theories and analytical perspectives. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Students will continue to interact with authentic language in context. Content is expanded beyond “survival” needs of the immediate environment in order to express personal meaning and to apply different strategies and techniques to go beyond casual conversation and express opinions, make suggestions on familiar topics, as well as some abstract issues and plans. Students demonstrate an increased awareness of cultural norms, values, and culturally relevant appropriate customs and events. Accuracy becomes quite high for high frequency structures and vocabulary, but more complex discourse is still developing and requires a somewhat sympathetic listener or reader. Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing linguistic structures and reflecting on and making cross-cultural comparisons. This course will be taught in French.

This class introduces Western political theory as it was first formulated by ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle; as it was expanded by philosophers such as Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Mill; as it was modernized by philosophers like Rawls and Nozick; and as it has been criticized by philosophers such as Charles Mills, Gloria Anzaldua, and other contemporary theorists. The class engages in examination of theoretical approaches to politics, of fundamental problems that arise in political contexts, and of proposed solutions to those problems. Students will analyze the relevance of political theory to contemporary political problems. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Students will continue to interact with authentic language in context. Content is expanded beyond “survival” needs of the immediate environment in order to express personal meaning and to apply different strategies and techniques to go beyond casual conversation and express opinions, make suggestions on familiar topics, as well as some abstract issues and plans. Students demonstrate an increased awareness of cultural norms, values, and culturally relevant appropriate customs and events. Accuracy becomes quite high for high frequency structures and vocabulary, but more complex discourse is still developing and requires a somewhat sympathetic listener or reader. Students will demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing linguistic structures and reflecting on and making cross-cultural comparisons. This course will be taught in Spanish.

Students will interact with more sophisticated authentic language in context. Content continues to expand in order to express more complex ideas in order to express personal meaning and to apply different strategies and techniques to go beyond casual conversation and express opinions, make suggestions on familiar topics, as well as some abstract issues and plans. Students demonstrate an increased awareness of cultural norms, values, and culturally relevant appropriate customs and events. Accuracy becomes quite high for high frequency structures and vocabulary but more complex discourse is still developing and requires a somewhat sympathetic listener or reader. Students will continue to demonstrate the ability to think critically by analyzing linguistic structures and reflecting on and making cross-cultural comparisons.

An emphasis will be placed on the observational evidence used by cosmologists to help develop their theories. A study of the types of stars, including the sun, binary stars, variable stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars is included. Types of galaxies and their distribution in the universe, dark matter, dark energy, supernovae, and black holes will be examined. There may be optional field trips. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Fossil evidence for the origin and evolution of life, natural selection, and environmental change in shaping both ancient and modern living communities are also presented. Emphasis will be given to North American paleogeography and tectonics. Laboratory activities use rocks, fossils, geologic maps and cross sections to interpret ancient environments, tectonic settings and geologic history. At least one field trip or an appropriate alternative activity are required. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)

Cultural anthropologists seek to understand the diversity of human experience, focusing on a set of central issues: how people around the world make their living (subsistence patterns); how they organize themselves socially, politically and economically; how they communicate; how they relate to each other through marriage, family and kinship ties; what they believe about the world (religion and belief systems); how they express themselves creatively (the arts and expressive culture); how they make distinctions among themselves; how they have shaped and been shaped by the past; and how they navigate culture change and processes of globalization. Ethnographic case studies highlight these similarities and differences, and introduce students to how anthropologists do their work, employ professional anthropological research ethics and apply their perspectives and skills to understand humans around the globe.

An emphasis will be on the interactions between biological processes and environmental factors. Students will observe children of varying ages to evaluate individual differences and analyze characteristics of development at various stages according to developmental theories.

An emphasis will be on the interactions between biological processes and environmental factors. Students will observe children of varying ages to evaluate individual differences and analyze characteristics of development at various stages according to developmental theories.

Using critical thinking, this course will identify and analyze contemporary social problems including causes, consequences, and possible solutions. Application of critical thinking skills, specifically taught in the course, is designed to result in heightened critical thinking ability as well as strengthened social awareness concerning social problems. In the study of social problems, theoretical perspectives and sociological methods of research and analysis will be applied. This course uses both inductive and deductive forms of reasoning, including identifying formal and informal fallacies and analyzing the evidence on which conclusions are based. (A, CSU, UC, Cal-GETC)
