St. Clair County Community College 2004-2005 Catalog

2004 - 2005 Catalog Course Descriptions READING A COURSE DESCRIPTION At the bottom of the course descriptions, students will see a pattern such as 3 credits, plus 1 contact hour* = (2 lecture, 2 laboratory), OR 4 credits = 4 lecture/laboratory. The numbers will change based on the individual course. Students will pay tuition based on the left side of the equation, the credit hours and, if any, the contact hour(s). The information on the right side is how the class material will be presented, either by lecture and/or laboratory work. Laboratory means some in-class work will consist of hands-on, practical application of theory, or completion of experiments as in chemistry, biology, or other such disciplines. If lab fees are part of the course, they will be assessed at registration. Some course descriptions contain 2 letter codes indicating that they meet certain general education competencies. The competencies, along with their codes, are listed below:
READING A COURSE DESCRIPTION For some courses a prerequisite course or assessment score is required prior to registration. Students, who believe that the prerequisite was met through previous college work or work experience, may ask the course instructor for permission to waive the prerequisite. It is up to the student to provide the evidence for this waiver request. DIRECTED STUDY Directed Study is intended as an enrichment opportunity for the student. It is designed for topics not covered in any other course in the catalog and may take the form of a project or research. The interested student may obtain the appropriate form from the department chair. INDEPENDENT STUDY Any college course described in the catalog may be taken as independent study if there are unusual and extenuating circumstances. However, the student must initiate acceptance and approval for supervision by an instructor and obtain the appropriate form from the department chair. SELECTED TOPICS All disciplines now have a course as follows with the acronym for each discipline - 195 Selected Topics - a course that offers an intensive investigation of one or more topics of current interest. Topics are to be selected by discipline. Interested students should inform the instructor of their interest at the earliest possible date. Special requirements may be necessary. 1 to 5 credits = 1 to 5 lecture and/or laboratory INACTIVE CLASSES These courses may be offered in the future. If students are interested in having a currently inactive course listed in the fall, winter, spring, or summer schedule, contact the department chair or an instructor in the appropriate area.
