Recent studies show that more than half of
Americans are more stressed now than they were six months ago (Atlanta health survey, October,
2008). The stress survey, conducted by Booth
Research, focused primarily on Americans’ selfreported sources of stress and methods for coping with stress, as well as the correlation between stress and physical health. In fact, 85 percent of respondents reported they believe stress weakens their body’s immune system; women were more likely than men to be aware of that connection.
Additionally, among 18 – 24 year olds, 64% responded that they experience daily stress.
We would provide an invaluable resource for our students to offer a course which discusses the causes, symptoms, and techniques for managing daily stress.
Selected topics courses are designed to meet college and community needs as they arise.
New courses being offered on an experimental basis prior to being institutionalized. Selected topics courses are publicized in the college’s class schedule and are numbered 48, 248, or 348 in the individual subject areas.

JUSTIFICATION:
Persian (also known as Farsi in Iran, Dari in
Afghanistan, and Tajik in Tajikistan and
Afghanistan) is an important middle eastern/central
Asian language. Persian programs are growing throughout the US and it is currently considered a language of strategic interest. No other Peralta
Colleges currently offer Persian.
Berkeley City College’s 2009 CTE Pipeline Grant mandates that a Summer 2009 Education course be offered at BCC that begins the process of meeting the demand for new teachers trained in diversity issues, multimedia and technology, and the sciences. The goal of BCC’s CTE Pipeline Program is to enable students to obtain a teaching credential in 4 years by beginning their Education Program at
BCC. The Pipeline’s teaching mission is to integrate multimedia and technology across all content areas focusing especially the sciences in order to prepare graduates to succeed in the competitive markets of the 21 st Century.
Note: Developed using funds from the CTE

Deleting the prerequisite as it is no longer deemed necessary.
This course serves as an introduction to the ASL program. It better prepares students for the rigor of ASL
50 (ASL 1). This substantive change updates the course description and the overall outline.
(for all 31 MMART courses effective
Summer 2009):
We are changing prerequisites to recommended preparation on the courses listed.
After ten plus years of experience in offering our Multimedia programs, it is clear to us that the prerequisites for
MMART have been drawn too narrowly by only indicating our own specific courses as acceptable. In addition, the students have difficulty challenging the prerequisites because of the lack of clear course substitutions at other institutions.
Given the growth of multimedia/ computer skills in the population over the last ten years, students do, for the most part, possess the necessary entry skills. Therefore, it makes sense to convert the prerequisites to recommended preparation as a guideline to students rather than a barrier to enrollment. If or when problems arise, our past experiences have shown that they can be easily handled through a discussion between the individual student and instructor.

JUSTIFICATION:
This advanced spelling course, the third of three spelling levels, will target college-/transfer-level students, who depend upon accurate spelling for academic writing. Students at this level may continue to depend upon translators and two-language dictionaries to find the appropriate English word to use in their writing, but, in order to become truly competent with the language, they need to use an
English-only dictionary for two purposes: (1) to find the meanings of new words that they find in their reading and (2) to find meanings and spellings of new words that they overhear in daily conversation. The focus of spelling at this level will be upon using both vocabulary and dictionary skills to learn about new words (e.g., their spellings, pronunciations, definitions, conjugations, and parts of speech). This is a stand-alone course.
This introductory spelling course, the first of three spelling levels, will address the needs of both basic skills students, who must learn to write intelligibly in their daily contacts, and college-/transfer-level students, who depend upon accurate spelling for academic writing. Mastering English spelling is a challenging process for anyone, but especially so for
ESL students, who, in addition to integrating traditional phonics rules and their exceptions, must simultaneously learn to pronounce and recognize
American sounds, study the spelling, meaning and usage of each new word, and unravel confounding aspects of the language which most native speakers understand implicitly. The focus of spelling at this level will be upon sounds and their correlation to spelling patterns. This is a stand-alone course.
This intermediate spelling course, the second of three spelling levels, will help basic skills students but will primarily target college-/transfer-level students, who depend upon accurate spelling for academic writing.
Mastering English spelling is a challenging process for anyone, but especially so for ESL students, who, in addition to distinguishing between phonics and sight words, must simultaneously learn to pronounce and recognize American sounds, study the spelling, meaning and usage of each new word, and unravel confounding aspects of the language which most native speakers understand implicitly. The focus of spelling at this level will be upon sight words (words that ignore phonics rules) and on words built from word parts, i.e. prefixes, suffixes and word roots.
This is a stand-alone course.
