C-ID: MATH 110 Introduction to Statistics

Prerequisite: MATH C053 or MATH C055. Advisory: ENGL C101 Limitation on Enrollment: Acceptance to the Honors Program or eligibility for this honors course as determined by the instructor.

72 hours lecture/54 hours laboratory. This course covers elements of descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency, dispersion and presentation of data. Included are concepts of probability, random variables and normally distributed random variables. Sampling error, sampling processes and the distribution of sample means are applied to real life examples. Students will conduct hypothesis testing of means and proportions for one and two populations and linear regression testing using the least squares criterion. Students use descriptive and inferential methods employing linear regression and study one and two way analysis of variance. The honors section provides more content and requires greater intensity and depth of study than the non-honors class; the honors course also requires at least one extra research assignment. Approved for IGETC Area 2, CSU GE Area B4, Local GE Area 4.

Co-requisite: ANTH C121 or ANTH C121H

54 hours laboratory. This laboratory course is offered as a supplement to Biological Anthropology and must be taken concurrently with ANTH C121. Laboratory exercises are designed to introduce students to the scientific method, and explore genetics, human variation, human and non-human primate anatomy and behavior, the primate/hominin fossil record, and other resources to investigate processes that affect human evolution. Approved for IGETC Area 5C, CSU GE Area B3, Local GE Area 1.

C-ID: BIOL 110B Human Anatomy with Lab

Prerequisite: ENGL C101

54 hours lecture/54 hours laboratory. This course covers the structural organization of the human body and includes the study of microscopic and gross anatomy of body organs and systems, including skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, reproductive, and integumentary systems. Approved for IGETC Area 5B & 5C, CSU GE Area B2 & B3, Local GE Area 1.

C-ID: GEOL 100 Physical Geology

Advisory: ENGL C070

54 hours lecture/54 hours laboratory. This course covers the study of the earth as an integrated system of hydrologic, tectonic, atmospheric, and human processes, including the origin and evolution of continents, mountains, earth materials, oceans, and life forms. It also covers geologic hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, groundwater contamination, and global climate change. Laboratories are designed to complement and reinforce topics covered in the lecture and will apply geologic principles to local geologic and land use issues such as earthquake hazards, flash floods, and the evolution of landforms in eastern California. Approved for IGETC Area 5A & 5C, CSU GE Area B1 & B3, Local GE Area 1.

C-ID: PSY 200 Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology

Prerequisite: MATH C121 or MATH C121H, PSYC C101 or PSYC C101H

54 hours lecture. This course covers research methods in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as proper reporting of results in American Psychological Association (APA) style. These methods include research design (experimental, non-experimental, and quasi-experimental), the interpretation of behavioral data using descriptive and inferential statistics, and research ethics. This course is identical to SOSC C271. Students who have already taken SOSC C271 may not enroll in this class. Approved for IGETC Area 4, CSU GE Area D, Local GE Area 2.
