COLLEGE OF ARTS & LETTERS

Department of Art

NEW COURSES

ART 3 Art in the Asian World. Introduction to the art and architecture of Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Tibet, China, Japan and Korea). The styles, subjects and significance of Asian art will be presented in a broader context that includes consideration of the history, geography, ethnic populations, languages, and religions of these countries (i.e., Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Islam, Daoism, and Shinto).
Justification: The Art Department offers a 2-semester introductory survey of Western art history that includes coverage of ancient Egyptian, Middle Eastern and Islamic art, but omits Asian art almost entirely. A comparable broad survey of Asian art is needed for our foundation program to provide students with appropriate preparation for the upper division classes, Art 117A and 117B. This course fits generally within the spirit of the University’s strategic plan to view the relationships between cultures; in particular it supports goals within the Academic Program and Pluralism area.

ART 114 Visual Form and the African Diaspora. A survey of traditional African visual aesthetics prior to European involvement and after their transmutations through the Diaspora. An investigation of social, political, and spiritual circumstances provide insight into the various aesthetic manifestations. Sources of influence and inspiration such as music are explored.
Justification: The art history area wishes to expand its offerings beyond a western lens. This course considers globally the unfolding of the African Diaspora. As such, it provides students the opportunity to sample cultures in partnership and conflict. This course fits generally within the spirit of the University's strategic plan to view the relationships between cultures, and in particular supports goals within the Academic Program and Pluralism themes.

ART 192B Senior Seminar in Art History. This culminating course for the Art History concentration focuses on the research, writing, and oral presentation of a 25-35-page thesis in the student’s area of interest. Seminar readings, discussions, and weekly workshops support the thesis project and develop basic career skills. The seminar explores how to employ traditional and new research technologies and develops writing skills. Career topics include how to locate appropriate jobs, professional schools, and graduate programs; how to write professional resumes, correspondence, including graduate school and grant applications.
Prerequisite: Senior status, completion of all lower-division major requirements, History 100, and demonstration of writing proficiency as prescribed by California State University, Sacramento.

COURSE CHANGES

ART 113B Oriental Art and Mythology.
Change to:
ART 113B Asian Art and Mythology. No change to course description.
Justification: The word "oriental" is outdated and has fallen out of general use when referring to Asian art and culture. We would like to make this slight modification in the title for the next catalogue, class schedule and SIS+ entries.

ART 192 BA Seminar/Culminating Experience.
Change to:
ART 192A Senior Seminar in Studio Art. No change to course description.
Justification: The creation of a concentration in Art History requires the development of a BA Seminar/Culminating Experience for students selecting this concentration. At the recommendation of the Budget and Curriculum Committee of the College of Arts and Letters, we will use ART 192A for students in the Studio Art concentration and ART 192B (Senior Seminar in Art History) for students in the Art History concentration. Also, to have comparable titles for the two courses, we would like to change the title of the Studio Art seminar, as listed above.

COURSE DELETION

ART 132 Early Childhood Art.
Justification: ART 132 entered the inactive inventory because it has not been offered for several years. The Art Education faculty members agree that the course is no longer an essential part of the curriculum, in part because its content duplicates some of the content of ART 133. They have asked that the course be deleted. Eventually its number may be reassigned to an entirely new course in Art Education. It has been removed from the Single Subject Program. The course with which it was paired in the outline of degree requirements, ART 137, has been moved from "Breadth and Perspective" to "Core" (see Form B.)

Department of Communication Studies

COURSE CHANGES

COMS 124 Advanced Writing for Video. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: ENGL 1A, ENGL 20
Justification: Adds writing prerequisite to this course to improve preparation of students for this course.

COMS 126 Capturing and Editing Digital Media.
Change to:
COMS 126 Advanced Capturing and Editing Digital Media. Artistic and technical skills employed when capturing and editing photographic, audio, and video data files. Data files are prepared for export into multimedia authoring applications. Mastery of appropriate hardware and software.
Prerequisite: COMS 20A, 20B, 26, each with a grade of B- or better.
Justification: Add “Advanced” in front of current title, slight change in description, and change in prerequisites. Since we added an introductory course, the 126 becomes an advanced class.

COMS 130 Staging and Lighting Digital Video. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 20A, 20B, 27A, 27B, each with a grade of B- or better.
Justification: Adding a 20A and 20B as a prerequisite. In the current Digital Media program, it was hoped that students would take courses in sequence as part of the recommended cohorts. This didn’t work as students didn’t follow cohorts. This change will improve course sequencing and provide students with greater flexibility.

COMS 142A Film as Communication - Third World Emphasis.
Change to:
COMS 142 Film as Communication. Explores the uses of film as a tool of communication.
Justification: We are folding COMS 142A and 142B together into one class - 142. This is a more efficient way to offer the film classes.

COMS 144 Multimedia Design for the World Wide Web. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 20A, COMS 20B, and COMS 26, each with a grade of B- or better.
Justification: Adding a ComS 20A, ComS 20B and ComS 26 as a prerequisite, deleting ComS 136 or CSC 80 and ComS 117 as a prerequisite. In the current Digital Media program, it was hoped that students would take courses in sequence as part of the recommended cohorts. This didn’t work as students didn’t follow cohorts. This change will improve course sequencing and provide students with greater flexibility.

COMS 149A Multimedia Authoring. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 126, each with a grade of B- or better.
Justification: Deleting ComS 106 as a prerequisite. In the current Digital Media program, it was hoped that students would take courses in sequence as part of the recommended cohorts. This didn’t work as students didn’t follow cohorts. This change will improve course sequencing and provide students with greater flexibility.

COMS 180 Senior Seminar in Organizational Communication. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 105; completion of 12 units of upper division COMS courses including COMS 100A.
Justification: Adding COMS 100A to prerequisites. This is a senior seminar and should follow the introductory survey course.

COMS 184A Multimedia Project Planning and Management. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 149A
Corequisite: COMS 184B
Justification: Deleting ComS 117 as a prerequisite and adding ComS 184B as a corequisite. In the current Digital Media program, it was hoped that students would take courses in sequence as part of the recommended cohorts. This didn’t work as students didn’t follow cohorts. This change will improve course sequencing and provide students with greater flexibility.

COMS 184B Multimedia Project Completion. No change to course description.
Corequisite: COMS 184A
Justification: Deleting COMS 184A as a prerequisite and adding COMS 184A as a corequisite. In the current Digital Media program, it was hoped that students would take courses in sequence as part of the recommended cohorts. This didn’t work as students didn’t follow cohorts. This change will improve course sequencing and provide students with greater flexibility.

COMS 185A Practicum in Video Production.
Change to:
COMS 185 Practicum in Video Production. Assignments in various phases of video production including creative use of camera, sound and lighting, editing production design, production planning and management, and directing and producing. Students in first semester function as crew members for productions. May be repeated once for credit. Repeating students are expected to produce and direct a major student project.
Prerequisite: COMS 127 and COMS 128 each with a grade of B- or better.
Justification: We are folding ComS 185A and 185B together into one class—185, and changing prerequisites. This is a more efficient way to offer the video practicum. Fewer WTU’s are required while the same goals for the original courses are met.

COMS 285 Practicum for Teaching Associates in Communication Studies. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: COMS 200, COMS 201
Justification: Change classification from 05 to 36. This is a supervisory course that does not have a set time or place for meeting.

JOUR 30 Basic News Reporting.
Change to:
JOUR 30 News Writing. Fundamentals of news gathering and news writing. Emphasis on language and style used in feature and news stories.
Prerequisite: JOUR 20
Justification: Title change, prerequisite addition. This changes the title to de-emphasize the reporting, as the class primarily focuses on how to write news stories. More emphasis on reporting skills will be taught in Jour 130A and Jour 130B. This change also reflects the new Jour 20 class as a prerequisite.

JOUR 130 Advanced News Writing.
Change to:
JOUR 130A News Reporting I. Instruction and practice in jounalistic research, interviewing, and reporting skills.
Prerequisite: JOUR 20, JOUR 30
Corequisite: JOUR 130B
Justification: Number, title and description change. This change corresponds with a repositioning of the journalism curriculum and is a corequisite with Jour 130B, News Reporting 2. This format will allow for intensive instruction in news gathering and writing skills.

JOUR 133 Advanced Editing, Design and Production.
Change to:
JOUR 133 Advanced Editing and Design. Hands-on instruction and practice in story instruction and practice in story selection, editing, page design and composition, as well as retooling content for online platforms.
Prerequisite: JOUR 128
Justification: Title, description and prerequisite change. This change realigns JOUR 133 with the new JOUR 128 class.

JOUR 135 Reporting Public Issues.
Change to:
JOUR 135 Public Affairs Reporting. Preparation and practice for covering California public issues, with a focus on state government.
Prerequisite: JOUR 130A, JOUR 130B
Justification: Title and prerequisite change. These changes fit in with the realignment with JOUR 130A and JOUR 130B.

JOUR 195 Internship in Journalism. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: JOUR 130A, JOUR 130B
Justification: Add prerequisites of JOUR 130A and JOUR 130B. The previous prerequisite of JOUR 130 has been reconfigured as JOUR 130A and JOUR 130B.

NEW COURSES

COMS 26 Introduction to Capturing and Editing Digital Media. Developing skills in producing photographic, graphic and animated materials used for the World Wide Web and multimedia.
Justification: This course provides an introduction to this area and replaces two lab courses, 27A and 27B, as prerequisites to COMS 126. It also provides a digital media course that can be transferred from many community colleges.

COMS 141 Theory of Film and Video Editing. A study of history and theory of film and video editing. Many films will be viewed and discussed, examining how editing theory is put into practice.
Justification: We have no film analysis course which explores the relationship of editing (image and sound) to the content and art of the medium.

JOUR 20 Style for Media Writers. Intensive review of grammar, word use, spelling, and principles of clear, concise writing.
Justification: Journalism students are frequently deficient in the grammatical skills necessary for success in journalism courses and later in the field. This course would provide a rigorous review and would save time now spent on this problem in the core skills courses. This course would be designated as a prerequisite to the skills courses.

JOUR 128 Copy Editing and Ethics. Instruction and practice in editing, headline writing, caption writing, and journalism ethics.
Note: Computer familiarity (MAC OS) recommended.
Prerequisite: JOUR 20, JOUR 30
Justification: This adds an upper-division editing course as a requirement. It fits in with the overall realignment of the journalism curriculum and allows for continued instruction and practice in editing skills. It also adds formal instruction in ethics, which until now has been piecemeal.

JOUR 130B News Reporting II. Practice in covering a news beat, writing news and feature stories on a weekly basis. Instruction includes reporting on local government.
Note: Computer familiarity (MAC OS) recommended.
Prerequisite: JOUR 20, JOUR 30
Justification: This new course corresponds with a repositioning of the journalism curriculum and is a corequisite with Jour 130A, News Reporting 1. This format will allow for intensive instruction and practice of journalism skills.

COURSE DELETIONS

COMS 142B Film as Communication - Europe and USA.
Justification: We are folding COMS 142A and 142B together into one class - 142. This is a more efficient way to offer the film classes.

COMS 185B Practicum in Video Production.
Justification: We are folding ComS 185A and 185B together into one class—185, and changing prerequisites. This is a more efficient way to offer the video practicum. Fewer WTU’s are required while the same goals for the original courses are met.

Department of Design

COURSE CHANGES

GPHD 100A Visualization.
Change to:
GPHD 30 Visualization. No change to course description.
Justification: This upper division to lower division change will better prepare lower division students for the newly proposed portfolio admission requirement. Generally speaking, students transferring from area community colleges have stronger portfolios than their CSUS counterparts (those who started at CSUS as freshmen), particularly in drawing, composition, and craft skills. This move is an effort to eliminate the performance disparity before Graphic Design Pre-Majors apply for official admission into the Graphic Design upper division course sequence.

GPHD 100B Design Production Management.
Change to:
GPHD 100 Design Production Management. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: GPHD 101, GPHD 103A, COMS 136
Corequisite: GPHD 102
Justification: Name change: With the migration of GPHD 100B’s sister course (GPHD 100A) to lower division, the letter distinction between them is no longer necessary. Prereq change:
Change needs to be made to reflect the proposed cohort sequence.

GPHD 101 Visual Principles I. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: ART 20A, GPHD 10, GPHD 25, GPHD 30, PHOT 40, and acceptance into upper division coursework through the program's portfolio review.
Corequisite: GPHD 103A
Justification: The prerequisite/corequisite requirements to this course need to be adjusted to reflect the proposed entrance portfolio.

GPHD 102 Visual Principles II - Color and Symbol. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: GPHD 101, GPHD 103A
Corequisite: GPHD 100
Justification: One minor change to this course: The prerequisite/corequisite language for this course needs to be updated to reflect the proposed cohort sequence.

GPHD 103A Typography I: Theory. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: ART 20A, GPHD 10, GPHD 25, GPHD 30, PHOT 40, and acceptance into upper division coursework through the program's portfolio review.
Corequisite: GPHD 101
Justification: The prerequisite/corequisite requirements to this course need to be adjusted to reflect the proposed entrance.

GPHD 103B Typography II. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: GPHD 100, GPHD 102
Corequisite: GPHD 101
Justification: The prerequisites/corequisites of this course need to be adjusted to reflect the proposed cohort sequence.

GPHD 104 Corporate Identity and System Design. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: GPHD 103B, GPHD 113
Justification: The prerequisites/corequisites of this course need to be adjusted to reflect the proposed cohort sequence.

GPHD 113 Visual Principles of Publication Design. No change to course description.
Prerequisite: GPHD 100, GPHD 102
Corequisite: GPHD 103B
Justification: The prerequisites/corequisites of this course need to be adjusted to reflect the proposed cohort sequence.

INTD 129 Portfolio. No change to course description.
Justification: We need to change this class from its current seminar classification to an activity classification. The new classification better represents the work performed in the class and will provide students with two additional contact hours per week. Since changing the class two years ago from its original activity status to seminar, we have found that it has been difficult to give graduating seniors the amount of critique time they need to prepare their portfolios for the job market.

NEW COURSES

GPHD 05 Introduction to Graphic Design. This course is an introduction to the field of Graphic Design. Course subjects include career possibilities, current trends, issues and practices in the industry. The basic theory, techniques and practices involved in solving a visual communication problem will also be introduced.
Justification: The proposed course is needed to improve students’ body of knowledge before entering GPHD upper division. Currently there is no course that gives students an introduction to the profession of graphic design. Students need to know what their career options are, as well as have a basic knowledge of current trends, issues and practices in the industry. The course will help clarify the question most students have before deciding to be a major: “What does a graphic designer do?”

GPHD 25 Visual Basics. This course provides a basic understanding of how visual structures are created and interpreted. Students study the main components of visual structures, become familiar with basic laws of color, and learn the basics of the gestalt principles of visual organization.
Prerequisite: ART 20A, ART 20B or ART 60
Justification: The addition of this new studio course will better prepare our native students for the proposed portfolio admission requirement. Generally speaking, students transferring from area community colleges have stronger portfolios than their CSUS counterparts (those who started at CSUS as freshmen), particularly in drawing, composition, and craft skills. This move is an effort to eliminate the performance disparity before Graphic Design Pre-Majors apply for upper division admission into the Graphic Design Program.

GPHD 129 Graphic Design Digital Portfolio. This course is to introduce the concepts and tools used in a digital portfolio production for entry into the practice of design or the advanced study. Exploration and development of the graphic design portfolio and resume in digital and print form. Discussions will cover such topics as networking, interview tips, employment issues, and presentation skills.
Prerequisite: GPHD 113, GPHD 103B
Justification: This course addition would replace the current INTD-129 requirement. Graphic design majors need a more customized portfolio to enable students to exit the major with a digital portfolio (cd rom/web site). The new course would also be a one-unit increase to the major.

Department of English

COURSE CHANGES

Update course name and description to reflect current practice and research.

ENGL 20 Expository Writing.
Change to:
ENGL 20 College Composition II. An advanced expository writing course that emphasizes textual analysis and integration of multiple works, to include multicultural and cross disciplinary perspectives, with the goal of developing sophisticated reasoning processes, complex organizational strategies, as well as research strategies and editing that meet standards for academic writing.

Prerequisite: Grade of C- or better in ENGL 001A or equivalent; EDT scores of 2-5.
Justification: The name change reflects that the course is equivalent to English 20: Expository Writing. "Multilingual Students" is a less stigmatizing term than "ESL" and reflects that many students in English 20E speak several languages including English. Update course name and description to reflect current practice and research.

ENGL 20T Expository Writing - Technical Communication.
Change to:

Justification: Update course description to reflect current practice and research.

NEW COURSES

ENGL 65 Introduction to World Literatures in English. An introduction to world literature written in English that places writers and their works within colonial, post-colonial, and literary contexts. Texts may come from Africa, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Canada, and non-English Britain.
Justification: This course is designed to introduce students to the variety of world literatures written in English. Moving between the colonial and post-colonial eras, the course will investigate the impacts and residues to imperialism, nationalism, and modern globalism, giving students insight into the contexts and conditions of texts written in English but written outside England and the USA.

ENGL 125E Academic Reading and Writing for Second Language Students. Helps prospective teachers to better understand the unique needs of second language students. The course will cover second language acquisition theory with particular emphasis on the teaching of reading and writing for academic purposes. Practical skills covered with all focus on the particular needs of second language readers and writers, for instance, how to help them to read more efficiently and with greater comprehension, how to write more fluently and accurately in ways that meet the needs and expectations of the academic discourse community.
Justification: Over half of the students in California's public schools are linguistic minorities - non-native speakers of English. They are a culturally diverse population with a wide range of educational, literacy, and linguistic experiences. Second language students face a variety of challenges as they move through our school system and on into their college years, but one of the most complex is their acquisition of academic literacy (reading and writing) skills. Researchers and theorists in second language acquisition agree that the processes involved in learning to read and write in a second language, especially for academic purposes, are complex and more difficult than developing these skills in one's first language. Future English teachers - especially at the secondary level - need to be prepared to meet the needs of second language students. Existing courses, specifically English 125 (Literature and Film for Young Readers) and English 125B (Writing for the Young Writer), do an excellent job of preparing future teachers. But in neither course is adequate time available to discuss what we know about second language acquisition and especially the development of academic literacy skills in high school, what we have learned about the reading and writing processes and products (texts) of second language students, and specific techniques and materials that have been found helpful in working with second language students at secondary level. This course will not only be helpful to future English teachers pursuing single-subject credentials. It will also appeal to students from other departments (e.g., Foreign Language, Education, or Communication Studies) who may be required to complete a minor and who may wish to pursue a minor in English, a minor in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), or a Certificate of Advanced Studies in TESOL. Further, this course may be attractive to M.A. candidates completing the Graduate Certificate in Composition or the TESOL Certificate option for graduate students.

ENGL 170A Fantasy. This course helps students develop their own working definition of fantasy by examining its central narrative and dramatic structures, image patterns, and thematic preoccupations. At the same time, the course encourages students to compare these motifs with those of so called "realist" fiction so that they may understand how blurred conventional distinctions between "fantasy" and "reality" actually are.
Justification: This course is designed to acquaint students with the open-ended conventions of the fantasy genre (and the related genres of children's literature and science fiction), its relationships to the more inclusive romance genre and thus also to the surprisingly related genre of realism. In this sense, the course allows students to understand the overall concept of genre more clearly and comparatively. As far as the specific conventions of fantasy are concerned, the course critically explores the "typical" fantasy reader-identification figure (and often narrator), the "there and back again" dream-quest or dramatic structure, the primary archetypes of vision, fire, balance, the garden, language, and home, and the topical themes of the self, love, death, and life. Based on these motifs, the course also encourages students, as the semester develops, to create a provisional, working definition of fantasy. Finally, then, the course prompts students to justify the genre itself; in doing so, they ultimately see that fantasy is anything but escapist.

ENGL 190B C.S. Lewis. This course helps students understand both the theological and literary underpinnings of the C.S. Lewis' imaginative work-his narrative, dramatic, and generic structures, image patters, and thematic preoccupations. It also allows students to see how myth, especially the wasteland myth, critically informs both The Narnia Tales and The Space Trilogy. Students will read selections from Lewis' sermons, theological works, and literary criticism besides The Narnia Tales, The Space Trilogy, and his ultimate mythic vision, Till We Have Faces.
Justification: This course is designed to acquaint students with C.S. Lewis' theological, critical, and especially, creative works. The class helps satisfy students' need (whetted by the biographical film Shadow Lands and by animated versions of the Narnia tales) to discuss and analyze Lewis' fiction and allows them to discover that his work transcends univocal cliches about Christian apologetics, children's literature, fantasy, and science fiction. In fact, his critical remarks on "myth" actually integrate these various genres: "My view would be that a good myth (i.e., a story out of which ever varying meanings will grow for different readers and in different ages) is a higher thing than an allegory (into which one meaning has been put). In an allegory a man can put only what he already knows; in a myth he puts what he does not yet know and could not come by in any other way." In this syncretistic sense, Lewis' fiction nurtures the kind of holistic critical and imaginative skills that help his various readers creatively self-develop and self-discover.

ENGL 190J Tolkien: Lord of the Rings. This course helps students understand the primary structures, images, and themes informing Tolkien's Middle Earth and the ways these link the medieval worldview with modern, and even postmodern, wish-and fear-fulfillments. Students will read Tolkien's criticism, poetry, short tales, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and selections from The Silmarillion.
Justification: This course is designed to acquaint students with J.R.R. Tolkien's critical and imaginative worldview as a Beowulf and fantasy scholar as well as the more celebrated creator of Middle Earth. The class satisfies students' need (whetted by the recent film versions of Middle Earth) to discuss and analyze Tolkien's works and helps them understand that the "popular fantasy writer" is ultimately overshadowed by - or, better, lives side-by-side with - the profoundly universal artist who wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In this latter sense, the course justifies speaking of Tolkien in the same breath as canonical Modern British novelists like Joyce, Woolf, and Lawrence because his romance narrative and dramatic structures, image patterns, thematics, and overall concern with language compares favorably with their more realist concerns, particularly their shared psychological, ethical, existential, environment, and cultural preoccupations with the wasteland myth.

ENGL 198T Senior Seminar in English. A senior seminar in English that features specialized topics taught by a variety of instructors depending upon the semester. Topics can include subject matter from literature, linguistics, English education, creative writing, composition/rhetoric, and film. Work in the course will tend to the production of a significant research paper, a paper which will emphasize the student's ability to: analyze and interpret multiple texts; integrate primary and secondary sources; construct a sustained, coherent, and rhetorically sophisticated piece of writing.
Prerequisite: ENGL 120A and a minimum of 90 units.
Justification: This course is designed as a culmination to the English major and will replace the supervenient senior seminar the department has at present. This course will require students to: analyze and interpret multiple texts; integrate primary and secondary sources; demonstrate the ability to construct a sustained, coherent, and rhetorically sophisticated piece of writing.

ENGL 240U Nineteenth-Century Texts and Sex. This course examines a range of sexual identities through which nineteenth-century Britons imagined their lives. Such identities were influenced by ideas about race, class, status, ethnicity, gender, and age that often differed markedly from our own. The course will move beyond the literary to look at texts from a variety of genres (medical, literary, erotic, and autobiographical) and cover both well-treated and more obscure texts.
Justification: Focusing on the differences between our contemporary moment and nineteenth-century Britain, this course examines the connection between sexuality and identity that existed in nineteenth-century British culture. Specifically, we will examine a moment history just prior to the emergence of a modern psychoanalytic understanding of sexuality that prevails today and explore how ideas about race, class, status, ethnicity, age, and gender all worked to shape an understanding desire different from our own. To get a fuller picture of this culture, the course will move well beyond the literary to look at texts from a variety of genres (medical, literary, erotic, and autobiographical) and cover both well-treated and more obscure texts.

COURSE CHANGES

GERM 140 Love and Marriage in the Medieval Epic.
Change to:
GERM 140 Heroes, Dragons and Quests. An exploration of the heroic adventures of the medieval knights in their quests for fame and love with special attention to the bridal quest and the roles of their "ladies": their social, political and economic position, and their impact on life in the Middle Ages. Discussions will be based on the reading of selected Middle High German works in English translation. Note: No German language requirement.
Justification: Male students have objected to the former title of GERM 140 and a representative number of male and female students contribute to more meaningful class discussions. There is no change in the course content or requirements.

GERM 143 Arthurian Romance.
Change to:
GERM 143 King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in Germany. No change to course description.
Justification: The new title is more comprehensible to students than the existing title because many students do not understand the "Romance" as a genre of medieval epic.

SPAN 007 Spanish Reading Proficiency. Spanish Reading Proficiency. Designed to improve reading proficiency, this course will give students the opportunity to develop high intermediate to advanced level competency in Spanish. They will acquire the ability to understand main ideas and facts in description and narration of news items, personal correspondence, technical material written for general readers, simple short stories; follow essential points in ideas of special interest or knowledge. Students will demonstrate general comprehension of a text and will be able to answer content questions in English.
Note: Students must take the Spanish 7 Diagnostic Exam the first day of class. This course meets the Foreign Language Proficiency Graduation Requirement.
Prerequisite: SPAN 001B or SPAN 001C or two years of high school Spanish.
Justification: To bring the description in line with the content, and to alert students to new requirements for admission.

SPAN 196A Seminar in Translation.
Change to:
SPAN 108 Seminar in Translation. Students will receive practical training in the techniques and strategies best suited for the average translation job. Much of the material presented will be selected from the documents, pamphlets and books/booklets translated by the PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATORS BOARD, an organization with which the instructor is associated. Therefore, in addition to the theory of translation, students will have the opportunity to tackle “real translation jobs” and evaluate their results. All work will be performed under the supervision of the instructor. The optimum recommended number of students should not exceed 16.
Prerequisite: Spanish, upper division standing or SPAN 47
Justification: Course can no longer be a experimental course number. Requesting permanent number. There is a great need in the State, as well as in the country, for good translators from English to Spanish and vice versa. Many of our graduates are called upon to do this work without any formal training in translation. Firms, State government agencies and advertising/publishing enterprises often ask our graduates to render professional translations. This proposed course, therefore, is a partial response to the need for university trained translators.

Department of History

NEW COURSES

HIST 008 History of Islamic Civilizations. Introductory survey of the history of Islamic societies of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East from the 6th century to the present. The focus will be on both continuities and the discontinuities that distinguish them from one anther. Topics to be discussed will include: religious, political, social, and cultural development in Islamic civilization during the premodern period, and on reform, western imperialism, nationalism, and religious politics in the modern period.
Justification: The History Department currently has several lower division course offerings in world civilizations including Africa, Asia and the West, and yet nothing in Islamic Civilizations. The study of the history of Islamic countries is of course highly topical these days. This course is proposed by a new tenure track faculty member just hired. It would be made available to the general student population at CSUS through listing it in the World Civilizations G.E. category.

HIST 21 Freshman Seminar: Becoming an Educated Person. Freshman seminar intended to provide an introduction to nature and possible meanings of higher education and the functions and resources of the University. Course is designed to help students develop academic success strategies and to improve learning skills. Students will interact with fellow students to build a community of academic and personal support. Course will introduce history as an academic discipline by requiring students to interpret historical information about issues, such as academic freedom and development of racism.
Justification: History 21 will permit prospective history students to participate in the Freshman Seminar Program and in an Area E General Education course. Students will be introduced to the university study of history within the context of a small class to assist them in succeeding during their first year. Students will learn the skills required to succeed in the university and the study of history. Prospective majors will have an introduction to the study of history as an academic discipline and as part of the process of developing into an educated person.

HIST 101 History of Modern Greece. Introduces the fundamental events and figures that shaped modern Greek history and politics. Topics will include: the Greek War of Independence, the Megali Idea, the Asia Minor Catastrophe, and Greece’s entry into the European Union. No prior knowledge of Greece or Greek language assumed.
Justification: Professor Katerina Lagos is a new full-time hire specializing in Greek and Mediterranean history. She will also be Director of the proposed Hellenic Studies Program at CSUS associated with the Angelo Tsakopoulos Collection in the CSUS Library. It is very important that she has new courses in the upcoming catalog so that the new program will acquire greater visibility in the university and in the broader community.

HIST 103 Mediterranean Europe: From the Renaissance to the European Union. Traces the development of Southern European countries from the Renaissance to European Union membership. These two ‘rebirths’ for Europe had a unique impact on Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece. Focuses on the political, economic, and cultural aspects of these Mediterranean countries.
Justification: Professor Katerina Lagos is a new full-time hire specializing in Greek and Mediterranean history. She will also be Director of the proposed Hellenic Studies Program at CSUS associated with the Angelo Tsakopoulos Collection in the CSUS Library. It is very important that she has new courses in the upcoming catalog so that the new program will acquire greater visibility in the university and in the broader community.

HIST 109 Medieval England to 1485. The course will examine the political, religious, social, intellectual, and cultural developments of English history from the Celtic Bronze Age to the fifteenth century. Issues of race and ethnicity, gender, social classes, political ideology, religious toleration, economic developments, and artistic achievements will all be examined in particular detail.
Justification: The History Department has operated with two survey courses in medieval history since the arrival of Mary Jane Hamilton in the 1960s. Our new medievalist, Candace Gregory, is proposing this new course to diversify History’s offering in this period. This third course will give the considerable number of students interested in medieval history more choice in their course selections. It would be offered about every three semesters, alternating with the other two on the books.

HIST 121 Democracy and Human Rights in the Era of the French Revolution and Napolean. Explores the crucial social, cultural, intellectual, and political legacies of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic years (1789-1815) in France and across the globe. In particular, the course examines ideas and policies regarding religious toleration, democratic participation, slavery, gender, and nationalism.
Justification: This course is being proposed by a new faculty member. It represents the beginning of a reorganization and diversification of the European History curriculum in the History Department. The course will be offered every two years, and will not represent a net increase in faculty costs for the department.

HIST 125 Twentieth Century Germany. Twentieth Century Germany. The collapse of the German empire, rise and defeat of Nazi Germany, world wars and the Holocaust, and postwar division and unification of Germany. Emphasis on the major trends in modern Germany history with special focus on the search for modern German identity and its political and cultural expressions.
Justification: This course will be part of the History Department’s reorganization of upper division electives in European history in the 20th century. The sequence has not been changed since perhaps the 1950s. The department has two new full-time faculty members who would like to bring the department’s offerings up to date. Some courses will be deleted (e.g., probably History 118A). Some will be added.

HIST 157 History of International Relations in the 20th Century. Survey of the history of international relations (political, military, economic, cultural, and environmental) in the 20th century. Covers Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, with emphasis on global events and issues from non-U.S. perspectives.
Justification: This course is being proposed by the new faculty hire in 20th century U.S. international relations. It would complement the two foreign policy courses now offered by the History Department: History 159, which focuses on the forces behind the development of U.S. foreign policy, and History 160, which focuses on the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This course would offer a global perspective on the history of international relations in the 20th century.

HIST 174 Women in North America and Britain, 1600-1850. A transatlantic and cross-cultural approach to the study of women in North America and Britain between approximately 1600 and 1850. Focusing on the North Atlantic basin, particular attention is paid to social and cultural identity, gender roles, work, family, the law, slavery, religion, radicalism and reform.
Justification: This upper division elective in History will be a valuable addition to the department’s offerings in women’s history and social history. The department currently has only a single course in U.S. women’s history that covers the whole period of U.S. history from settlement to the present. The course corresponds to the research orientation of Professor Carr. It is anticipated that there will be enough student demand to offer this course every three or four semesters.

HIST 179 American Immigration History. A study of immigration in American life. Particular attention given to the shifting causes and patterns of immigration, similarities and differences among the experiences of immigrants in the United States, nativism, the development of immigration restrictions, and the effects of immigration on the economic, social, cultural, and political life of the nation over time.
Justification: This course will be an upper division elective appealing to History majors and other interested students. It corresponds to the chief research interest of Prof. Patrick Ettinger, a recently hired faculty member. The course topic is of course current in present-day California. It will be a valuable addition to the university’s offerings dealing with immigration and minority groups.

COURSE CHANGES

HIST 118B World War II: Causes, Conduct, Consequences. A critical examination of political, military, social, and cultural transformations in the era of the Second World War. Particular emphasis will be placed on diplomatic relations between the Great Powers, military conduct during the war, the experience of fascism, the causes and ramifications of the Holocaust, and the war's cultural and political legacy in Europe.
Justification: New catalog description only.

HIST 157 History of International Relations in the 20th Century. Survey of the history of international relations (political, military, economic, cultural, and environmental) in the 20th century. Covers Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, with emphasis on global events and issues from non-U.S. perspectives.
Justification: This course is being proposed by the new faculty hire in 20th century U.S. international relations. It would complement the two foreign policy courses now offered by the History Department: History 159, which focuses on the forces behind the development of U.S. foreign policy, and History 160, which focuses on the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This course would offer a global perspective on the history of international relations in the 20th century.

HIST 159 History of U.S. Foreign Relations. Diplomatic, military, economic, and cultural relations between the United States and the world from 1789 to the present, with emphasis on the 20th century; focus on transformation of United States into a global power.
Justifications: New catalog description only. The purpose of the change is to distinguish this course more clearly from the new course, History 157, that deals with 20th century international relations from a global perspective.

HIST 178 Chicano/a History: From the Spanish Colonial Era to the Present.
Change to:
HIST 178 Mexican-American History. No change to course description.
Justification: This change is intended to clarify that the course covers more than the “Chicano Movement” of the 1960s and 1970s. The current course title, when shortened for the Schedule of Classes, has led some students to think this course only covered the more recent historical period. The title change will also help avoid confusion with the Chicano Studies course offered in Ethnic Studies.

COURSE DELETION

HIST 144 Emerging Third World, 1945-Present.
Justification: Course deletion only. The faculty member who taught this course is now fully retired. The Department's new specialist in Islamic history would prefer to drop the course.

NEW CHANGE

HRS 183 Religion and Film. An examination of the religious and spiritual dimensions of selected films from around the world. The cinematic arts are examined in relationship to religious and spiritual concerns, concepts, and values.
Justification: A course on Religion and Film would contribute to the HRS curriculum by providing a class that unites themes and approaches in both "tracks" of the program - the study of the arts and religious studies. Course could also serve Film Studies students and General Education.

CSC 280 Advanced Computer Architecture. No change to course description.
Justification: When the Computer Engineering Program submitted its proposal for an MS in Computer Engineering (which was recently approved), it submitted a course change proposal to rename CSC 280 as CPS 280 with the intention that Computer Science and Electrical and Electronic Engineering would eventually delete CSC 280 and its cross-listed course, EEE 280. However, CSC 280 is a required course for the Computer Science Graduate Certificate in Computer Architecture and an elective for the Computer Science Graduate Certificate in Computer Engineering. The Computer Science Department would like to retain the Computer Science designation of this course for purposes of the certificate programs. Therefore, the best solution appears to be cross-listing, to accommodate both Computer Science and Computer Engineering students.

Division of Nursing

NEW COURSE

NURS 196C Cultural Competence in Healthcare-An International Exchange. The opportunity to explore personal cultural understanding of health and illness in another country. Readings, seminar discussion, reflective writing, and immersion will guide the student in the exploration of transcultural nursing and health. The course emphasizes the development of communication skills necessary to work effectively with diverse populations. International health issues will be explored in the context of collegial sharing as students are able to interact with healthcare providers in the host country.
Prerequisite: NURS 138, NURS 139; or Licensed RN
Justification: The current undergraduate and graduate curricula in nursing recognizes and values development of cultural competence in the education of future leaders in nursing care. Current course offerings provide students with an opportunity to develop general knowledge regarding culture and health as well as experiences with the culturally diverse population in the local area. Building upon this foundation, further competence in transcultural nursing will be developed through focused study of one particular culture as well as the lived experience of immersion into another culture. This will provide students with an appreciation of international and transcultural issues in health care enhancing their clinical practice and preparing them for graduate study in this rapidly growing field of specialization. Immersion in another culture is further expected to enhance the student’s appreciation of cultural diversity and prepare them to engage in productive relationships in a pluralistic society.

Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies

NEW COURSES

RLS 1 Orientation to Recreation and Leisure Studies. An introduction to the Recreation and Leisure Studies major, with an emphasis on degree options, advising, the internship process, and the portfolio requirement.
Note: RLS 1 should be taken in the student's first semester.
Justification: This course is being proposed in conjunction with RLS 101. Both serve as replacements for RLS 194 which is being cancelled. Since the recent introduction of a required graduation portfolio, a more formal advising and accountability sequence is necessary. There is currently no formal exit strategy for the requirement (see RLS 101). At the same time, the DFE preparation requirement (the role of RLS 194) has diminished as students are more familiar with such skills as resume preparation and placement searches. A reduced exposure to the DFE process will still be included in the RLS 1 class, along with an introduction to the major fields of study, advising processes, and the portfolio requirement.

RLS 101 Senior Portfolio Seminar. A seminar in which Recreation and Leisure Studies seniors present their individual graduation portfolios. The course requires both in-class presentations and consultations with the portfolio coordinator.
Note: RLS 101 should be taken in the student's final semester. RLS majors only. Seniors only.
Prerequisite: RLS 1
Justification: This course is being proposed in conjunction with RLS 1. Both serve as replacements for RLS 194 which is being cancelled. Since the recent introduction of a required graduation portfolio, a more formal advising and accountability sequence is necessary. There is currently no formal exit strategy for the requirement (hence RLS 101). At the same time, the DFE preparation requirement (the role of RLS 194) has diminished as students are more familiar with such skills as resume preparation and placement searches. A reduced exposure to the DFE process will still be included in the RLS 1 class, along with an introduction to the major fields of study, advising processes, and the portfolio requirement.

COURSE CHANGE

HHS 150 Nonprofit Leadership.
Change to:
RLS 164 Nonprofit Leadership. Introduction to concepts and principles of nonprofit leadership with an emphasis on youth and human service agencies. Students will explore and develop an understanding of historical and philosophical foundations of nonprofit organizations, board/committee development and operation, and the various roles of human service professionals as they relate to the nonprofit field. Consists of lecture, readings, discussions, guest speakers, nonprofit agency visitations, direct internet research, active learning exercises, and a community service learning component.
Justification: This course is currently offered under the course prefix / number HHS 150. The course has always been taught by a member of the RLS faculty and the majority of students that take the class have been RLS majors. The class has proved popular but has had to be extensively promoted because few students look under the HHS prefix when selecting classes. In addition the prefix has meant that while the class is highly relevant to students in recreation and leisure studies (and has been treated by advisors as being substitutable for an RLS elective class) RLS advisors have had to write numerous substitutions to allow the class to be counted by majors as an RLS elective. The Description, Goals, Learning objectives, Assessment and Content of the class will not be affected by this change. This change is made with the knowledge and approval of the Dean of the College of Health and Human Services.

COURSE DELETION

RLS 194 Orientation to Directed Field Experience.

Using ethnographic examples from the Arctic, southern Africa, rainforests in South America, deserts of Australia, and western North America, explores variation in hunter-gatherer societies with respect to differences in environment, technology, social organization, and the historical effects of interaction with more complex cultural groups. Models that attempt to explain long-term changes in this life way are also explored.
Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 111 California Archaeology. Pre-contact California encompassed some of the most extensive environmental and cultural diversity ever to exist on the planet, containing widely divergent biota,many distinct languages and cultures, and among the densest hunter-gatherer populations ever recorded. At least 11,000-12,000 years of human occupation have been marked by multiple migrations and major shifts in technological and social organization.

Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 112 Great Basin Archaeology. Explores the cultural and natural history of the Great Basin from the last glacial maximum into the historic era. Though largely arid, this region in fact manifests considerable environmental variability and has seen significant climatic alterations since the Pleistocene. Human occupation of the Great Basin witnessed major changes in demography, technology, subsistence practices, and sociopolitical organization over the last 10-12,000 years. The course looks to understand cultural and environmental variability across the region through examination of the long-term material record and consideration of anthropological and biological models.
Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 114 North American Prehistory. Familiarizes students with the archaeological record of North America, and provides an analytical framework through which it may be understood in anthropologically meaningful terms.

Explanatory models offered to account for cultural evolution in various parts of the Old World will be explored and assessed.
Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 124 Environmental Archaeology. All human societies depend on their natural surroundings, and so the reconstruction of prehistoric environments is an essential part of archaeological interpretation. Three interrelated aspects of environmental archaeology are considered:-- (1) examines general approaches to paleoenvironmental reconstruction, employing various biological and geological indicators; (2) looks more closely at the analysis of human plant and animal food remains; and (3) examines the geological and other processes that are responsible for the formation of archaeological deposits. Field trip. Fee course.
Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 125 Historical Archaeology. Written history only records a small portion of human activities that occurred in the recent past. Explores the numerous methods of investigation, analysis and interpretation that are available to aid the historical archaeologist in discovering missing information and in some cases correcting erroneous statements, assumptions and interpretations about the past.
Justification: Update catalog description.

ANTH 151 Human Paleontology. A survey of the field of human evolution from primate beginnings to modern humans groups. The course emphasizes the interpretation of the fossil evidence and the major trends in hominid evolution, including the origins and relationships of the extinct forms of humans.

ENVS 128 Environment and the Law. Environmental law offers students an opportunity to explore the legal process in an especially appealing and relevant substantive context. Although environmental law is in large measure the adaptation of traditional legal concepts and doctrines, the recent infusion of extensive litigation and innovative legislation represents an opportunity for meaningful public participation. The student is expected to become sufficiently familiar with the legal process to understand both its possibilities and limitations. Course also substitutes for ENVS 171. Note: Cross listed as GOVT 128; only one may be counted for credit.
Prerequisite: ENVS 111 or instructor permission.

COURSE CHANGES

SOC 169 Changing American Family. Analysis of the American family, past, present, and future, focusing on explanation and consequences of changes in child-bearing, courtship, marriage, and the interrelationships between the individual and the family and society. Focus on connecting course material to real world organizations and programs in the community that are associated with or linked to families. Per week: lecture two hours; field work in the community two- three hours.
Note: Course to be offered only in the Fall.
Justification: We are changing the class from a standard lecture class to a service learning class, while still introducing and discussing the same material from the previous course. The change to a service learning class is to give students a chance to connect the material being discussed in class with real world experience. As well, it offers students an opportunity to interact and work in an environment that may lead to potential careers. As for the connection to the department, there is, at this time, no service learning courses being offered, which can be seen as limiting the experience of students. Having already one Family course, and acknowledging that family issues touch a range of programs and organizations in the community, we felt changing the Changing American Family course to a service learning course would be beneficial to both students and the department, not to mention the benefit gained by the community.
