3.00 Credits
Introduces some of the basic concepts and ideas of physical science and demonstrates how they are applicable to every day processes and devices in the world. Fundamental ideas to be introduced will include various subjects from the disciplines of chemistry and/or physics. Although the subjects discussed will require some mathematical knowledge, the scientific principles will be covered from a conceptual viewpoint. Intended for the non-science major. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
The first semester of a two-semester course consisting of integrated modules covering the areas of matter/energy, molecules, living systems, and environment. These modules will cover major concepts in the physical and biological sciences, emphasizing their application to real-world problems. Concepts covered will include the interactions of matter and energy, laws of motion, atomic structure of matter, structure and properties of molecules, principles of genetics, structure and function of living organisms, evolution, and interactions of organisms with each other and their environment. Includes practical experience in the application of the scientific method through laboratory activities. Four hours per week of lecture/discussion/ laboratory. A field trip outside of regular course hours may be required. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement.

3.00 Credits
Introduces some of the basic concepts and ideas of life and environmental sciences and demonstrates how they are applicable to the world around us. Fundamental ideas to be introduced include evolution, biological molecules, genetics, physiology, and ecology. The scientific principles will be covered from a conceptual viewpoint at a level suitable for non-science majors. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces some basic concepts of physics and chemistry. Subjects to be covered are: Forces and Motion, Energy, Waves, Light, Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, the Atomic Theory and Chemical Bonding. Although the subjects will require some mathematical knowledge, the scientific principles will be covered from a conceptual viewpoint. Intended for the non-science major. This course also fulfills the Elementary Subject Matter preparation in physical science for Liberal Studies majors. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory course intended to demonstrate some of the basic ideas of physical science. Emphasizes the scientific method, collection and interpretation of data, graphical representations of data and their significance, and the principles of good experimental design, as related to physical science. Experiment subjects will focus on the larger overriding principles of physical science, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass, the Law of Conservation of Energy, Newton's Laws of Motion, Properties of Light, etc. May not he taken for credit by students who have received credit for GES 101. Enrollment restricted to students who have completed the Lower-Division General Education requirement in Physical Science (B1).
-
3.00 Credits
Through the interdisciplinary analysis of one social issue in depth, students learn the components of the scientific method (variables, hypothesis formation and testing), explore methods and objectives of at least four social science disciplines, and examine multiple perspectives such as gender, race, and class. Students learn about the social construction of community, regional, national and/or global problems, the interconnections between those levels, and how social change occurs over time.
-
3.00 Credits
The second of a two-semester sequence continues student's exploration of social issues which have captured the imagination of social scientists and others involved in social inquiry. Subject matter includes topics such as social justice, human rights, inequality, oppression, conflict and cooperation, diasporas, and development. Students will apply and further develop the analytical skills introduced in the first semester by investigating their own social world. May include field experience. Enrollment Requirement: GESS 101.
-
3.00 Credits
Instruction and supervised practice in the fundamentals of writing. Intended primarily for students who receive a RP in GEW 101 and who need more practice in basic composition. Note: GEW 050 does not count toward any graduation requirement to be completed at CSUSM. It is counted in determining financial aid and VA benefits. This course is not applicable to the requirements of a baccalaureate degree. All students enrolling in GEW 050 must have taken the CSU English Placement Test. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for LTWR 050. Enrollment Requirement: GEW 101 with final grade of RP.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on writing as critical inquiry through readings of cultural texts. Students are expected to reflect critically on their processes of writing and reading, and to interrogate the ways in which texts (re)produce particular social constructions and power relations, such as those around gender, race, nationality, class, disability, and sexuality. Students learn to question, explore, explain, analyze, develop, and critique ideas effectively; undertake writing projects that have depth and complexity; and make appropriate decisions about argument, structure, and rhetorical conventions.
