Overview Date Submitted: 10/19/10 Dean: BI Download: 10/07/2010 Dept. Chair: Discipline: ANTHR Campus: Berkeley Mission Provide instruction in the four basic sub-fields of Anthropology, Physical Anthropology, Archaeology and Prehistory, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology, as well as more specialized lower-division courses of interest to our students and faculty. Our program is designed to be transferable to 4-year colleges and many of our students in fact do transfer. In addition, due to the fascinating nature of our material, we attract many students who have an avocational interest. Linda McAllister/Nola HadleyTorres Student Data A.

Action Plan Please describe your plan for responding to the above data. Consider curriculum, pedagogy/instructional, scheduling, and marketing strategies. Also, please reference any cross district collaboration with the same discipline at other Peralta colleges. Include overall plans/goals and specific action steps. Completing SLOs, adding/developing online course in physical anthropology to meet demand, organizing and attending cross college discipline meetings Page 3 of 5 IX. Needs Please describe and prioritize any faculty, classified, and student assistant needs. Our only contract instructor, Roger Newman, retired in December, 2008. Since then, we have had to rely on adjunct faculty to operate our program. This is not a good situation. Hopefully, we will be able to hire a full-time contract instructor soon. Students are required to write papers and pass exams in all courses. In addition, individual courses require more specialized assignments, such as the collection of kinship data and its portrayal on genealogical charts, conversation partnering with international students to gather linguistic data, visits to primate sections of local area zoos, etc. Recommendation: One strongly felt need is for a tutor to help students grappling with the genetics section of Physical Anthropology. This is important information for citizenship in general and for understanding how biological evolution works. At the moment we have no tutors at the College for this need. More general counselors needed Please describe and prioritize any equipment, material, and supply needs. Need funds for updating and expanding our fossil hominid and primate skull and skeleton replica collection. Need funds for purchase of new audio-visual materials. Please describe and prioritize any facilities needs. Need to find a way to adequately darken the Physical Sciences Lab so that the installed digital projection equipment can be used during the daylight hours. This continues to be a problem. Need to keep the Physical Sciences Lab locked when there is no teacher present. This has been largely implemented but is difficult to enforce. Page 4 of 5 X.
