Note: Web-based. Requires Internet access
Prerequisite: NURS 210A, NURS 212, NURS 213A, NURS 293A and instructor permission
Corequisite: NURS 293F
Justification: The current graduate curriculum in nursing includes preparation for titling as a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS). MS in Nursing students who desire national certification as an adult mental health clinical nurse specialist are required to have a course in adult mental health nursing, in addition to the NURS 213A/NURS293A clinical role courses. This course is web-based and would be required for those students who select the CNS functional role in adult mental health. Students who wish to prepare for this role currently have enrolled in an independent study course (NURS 299) to meet the theory requirement and in NURS 292 a practicum course which already exists to be eligible for titling and national certification. The Division currently has NURS 213E which is a web-based course required for national certification emphasizing children and adolescents. Clinical Nurse Specialists choose from either children/adolescents or adults for national certification. There actually is no additional cost for this course as the small number of students who have focused on adult mental health have enrolled in NURS 299 and NURS 292, and the workload is a per student assignment. This course would only be available every other year.

NURS 293E Practicum in Child-Adolescent Mental Health. Supervised field experience to allow in-depth exploration of the advanced practice role with children and adolescents in a psychiatric/mental health or school-based setting.

Students who wish to prepare for either of these roles must complete NURS 213E (an existing web-based course) and NURS 292 which is a practicum course(3 units) focusing on the consultant role in the area of specialization. Other courses in the clinical role preparations of Family-Community-Mental Health, Adult Nursing, and School Nursing(the 213A or B or C or D series) have a companion practicum numbered NURS 293A or B or D. For consistency the Division would like to have NURS 293E to avoid confusion. There is no additional cost for this course as the workload is a per student assignment whether it would be NURS 292 or the new NURS 293E.
Prerequisite: NURS 210A, NURS 212, and NURS 213A or NURS 213C and instructor permission.

NURS 293F Practicum in Adult Mental Health Nursing. Supervised field experience to allow in-depth exploration of the advanced practice role with adults in a psychiatric/mental health setting.

Physics 191 will provide physics majors with the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of the discipline b performing an independent project (research paper, laboratory project, apparatus development) under the guidance of a faculty member. A student is expected to spend a minimum of 75 hours (5 hours per week based on a normal semester) working on the projected for a passing grade in the course. Acceptable uses of time are: preliminary/background research, planning, development, construction, implementation, programming, analysis, and report preparation. Not included in the above are regular meetings between student and advisor. If the student is using off campus work to satisfy the time requirements of this course, the student must get the permission of the Department Chair and the Senior Project Coordinator.

The nature of this course provides a broad range of opportunities of projects for students. Students may perform an experimental research project on-campus, under the guidance of a faculty member, or off-campus as a guest researcher or summer fellow at another facility (i.e. national laboratories, state laboratories, or another university). Additionally, theoretical/computational projects may also be performed on- or off-campus. Work done off-campus must meet minimum time guidelines listed below in the course requirements section. Students interested in physics education may select a project to construct a demonstration apparatus or develop and test a new laboratory experiment. Another option for the project may be a library research project. Possible topics for a library project may be of historical/philosophical nature o the review of a specific topic in physics. Additional special project topics may be possible with the approval of the PHYS 191 coordinator.

All students will give a presentation (normally 15 minutes followed by a 5 minute Q/A period) of their work to the department near the end of the semester in which they complete their project. A final written report is due at the end of finals week of the same semester.
Prerequisite: Department chair permission.

COLLEGE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

Department of Anthropology

NEW COURSES

ANTH 004 Language, Culture, and Critical Thinking. Introduction to the abstract and formal structures of language and cultural dimensions of human communication via major linguistic anthropological concepts, theoretical assumptions, and methodologies. Addresses the logical, formal relationship between underlying rules of natural languages while critically analyzing how speakers from different cultures use language to convey complex social and cultural information. Course illuminates how language is used to create and reinforce relationships of power (race, class, gender); develops ability to recognize linguistic fallacies; instructs in basic critical thinking skills. 3 units (CAN ANTH 8).
Justification: This course is being offered to expand lower division electives available to both majors and non-majors in Anthropology. The Department of Anthropology has upper division course offerings in all four fields of Anthropology (Cultural, Linguistic, Physical, and Archaeology); however, it currently lacks a lower division linguistic anthropology course. This offering provides introductory training in the fundamentals of linguistic anthropology, which would in turn provide the ability to go beyond mere introductory principles and theories in the upper division course offering.
Prerequisite: none.

ANTH 120 Introductory Statistics for Anthropologists. Covers the conceptual framework involved in quantitative methods of data analysis commonly employed in anthropology. The emphasis is primarily on understanding concepts and secondarily on learning techniques of data analysis. Topics to be considered include data description and distributions, estimation procedures, hypothesis testing, and model fitting. Illustration of concepts in lecture will be made with data from archaeology, physical anthropology, and social/cultural anthropology. 3 units.
Justification: The usage of statistics by anthropologists differs from the usage in other behavioral sciences. Often anthropological research is historical or otherwise non-experimental. Also, anthropologists borrow research methods from the natural sciences. An anthropology-focused statistics course is justified for two reasons: (1) Other statistics courses are unlikely to reflect the range of methods employed in anthropology; and (2) students learn mathematical concepts with greater proficiency when they are illustrated in familiar problem contexts.
Prerequisite: none.

ANTH 122 The Evolution of Early Mesoamerican States. Traces the emergence of prehispanic state societies in Mesoamerica from the growth of the earliest settlements to the collapse of the Aztec empire. Analyzes how complex societies evolved in Mesoamerica, focusing on such evidence as household and village social organization, craft specialization and interregional exchange, religion and ideology, and the logistics of state management and imperial expansion. 3 units.
Justification: Dr. Biskowski is a Mesoamerican archaeologist whose specialties contribute to the archaeological program as well as complement those of the Latin Americanists in the Department. With the recent departure of Dr. Goldfried, we no longer had the faculty to teach a number of his (Goldfried's) courses on state-level societies (e.g., Egyptian Archaeology and Biblical Archaeology). Dr. Bisokowski, however, could take over Goldfried's GE Mexican Archaeology class as well as develop other courses on state-level societies. This is the first such course on more complex societies that will contribute to our students' understanding of the range of social systems (from mobile hunger-gathers to sedentary agriculturists).
Prerequisite: none.

ANTH 142 Political Anthropology. Explores political anthropology as a specialized field of anthropological inquiry .

Justification: The Department of Anthropology continues to develop an integrated curriculum that applies anthropological theories and methods to explore political, economic and cultural transformations around the world. This course represents a vital step in the development of topical studies within the Department of Anthropology. This course, keeping in mind the need to inform students and preparing them to interact with the world, will significantly contribute to broadening the focus of topical studies offered by the Department.
Prerequisite: ANTH 002 or ANTH 101.

Consideration of language in its social context: language and power, language and gender, interethnic communication, language and race, pidgins and creoles, multilingualism, standardization, language ideology. Instruction in ethnographic and linguistic methods of data collection and analysis; identification of socially significant linguistic variables. Contributions of the study of contextualized speech to linguistic theory. 3 units.
Justification: This course is being offered to expand the fieldwork opportunities available to both majors and non-majors in Anthropology. The offering is in response to the introduction of a new faculty member hired to reinforce the four-field approach of the Anthropology department through the development of at least one course on contemporary issues in linguistic anthropology such as language and society. The course will provide: 1) a linguistic anthropological offering that will satisfy the fieldwork requirement in the Department for undergraduates, and 2) student exposure to recent trends and developments in fieldwork and analytic methodologies that simply cannot be covered sufficiently in the single course the Department is currently able to offer (ANTH 004).
Prerequisite: ANTH 004 or instructor permission.

ANTH 276 Museum Anthropology. Surveys the practical, theoretical, and historical dimensions of museum anthropology and material culture studies, with particular emphasis on California and the U.S. Situates contemporary issues related to the collection, exhibition, and repatriation of ethnographic and archaeological materials within the sociopolitical context of the globally based indigenous rights movement.

Department of Psychology

COURSE CHANGES

PSYC 103 Perception. An examination of how information about the outside world is sensed and how that information is organized and interpreted to form perceptions. Vision and audition will be primarily examined, along with some coverage of the other senses. Topics may include psychophysical methods, basic physiology and function of sensory systems, perception of color and form, motion, distance, auditory patterns, body and limb position, temperature, pain, perceptual constancies, attention, perceptual learning, adaptation, and perceptual development.
Justification: We are requesting a change in the catalog description for this course only. The current description has become outdated, and we want to update the description to reflect the current knowledge and topics within the field of Perception that are currently being covered in the course. Furthermore, some students have avoided taking this course because of its apparent overlap with the existing Cognition (PSYC 110) course. We want to make a clear how the two courses differ.

PSYC 228 Practicum. Supervised practice in counseling individuals, couples and families with personal, marital, family, vocational and educational problems. Students counsel clients and meet on a one-to-one and small group basis with the instructor to plan and evaluate effective interventions and counseling techniques.
Justification: This proposed course change reduces the PSYC 228 Practicum units from 5 units to 4 units. In addition, the course classification for PSYC 228 will be changed to C6 Clinical Processes. This change is justified on the basis that it more accurately reflects the content of the Practicum experience. Specifically, a C6 Clinical Processes classification describes the counseling work that students conduct within this course. Students will also be required to take 1 unit of PSYC 292 Laboratory as a corequiste. The Co requisite of the PSYC 292 Laboratory reflects the frequent 1:1 instructor-student supervision and small group supervision consistent with a laboratory course. This change is pedagogically necessary and also meets the requirements established the Board of Behavioral Sciences to prepare students for licensure as marriage and family therapists.
Prerequisite: PSYC 201, PSYC 223, PSYC 227, PSYC 268 and one of the following: PSYC 225, PSYC 235 or PSYC 253
