modifying the identification and or title s of an existing course PREVIOUS COURSE ID DESCRIPTIVE TITLE B None None BANNER TITLE None REASON S COURSE IS OFFERED Specify how the course fulfills degree certificate transfer job or career training community or other needs Distinguish the course s purpose from that of similar courses Clearly state the course s goals to allow evaluation of objectives To provide a review of basic arithmetic operations involving whole numbers fractions decimals and percents for students entering the job market or who require algebra or higher level mathematics C REASON S FOR CURRENT OUTLINE REVISION For a new course state New course For a revision to an existing course summarize the changes Five year periodic review Add methods of instruction and methods of evaluation II CATALOG INFORMATION If data for any item s in this section have changed since approval of the previous course outline please complete both the Previous and Current responses for that

ENROLLMENT Please complete and attach a separate prerequisite appendix form to this outline for each requisite course advisory course or enrollment limitation listed For any limitation on enrollment please specify the authorizing statute or regulation Note that limitations on enrollment does not refer to maximum class size rather it permits departments to document additional qualifications that students must possess before enrolling in a course For example students desiring to enroll in dental hygiene courses must first have been admitted into the dental hygiene program 1 PREREQUISITES

CATALOG DESCRIPTION Use complete sentences in this description Write a well developed overview of the course topics covered Also identify the target audience for example indicate whether the course satisfies general education or transfer requirements is required for a major degree or certificate licensing or certification exams etc Not all of this information may apply to all courses Catalog descriptions that provide the necessary level of detail typically occupy no more than six lines of text and so are comparable in length to this instruction set Current This course reviews basic mathematical skills and fundamental operations as applied to integers common and decimal fractions and percentages Emphasis is placed emphasis on understanding of arithmetic and mathematical processes

should be able to do after completing the course Each item should begin with a word such as define explain analyze synthesize solve argue etc A more extensive list of sample verbs is available online at http www oxnardcc org committees curriculum bloomtax htm Verbs selected from the more complex competencies of Bloom s taxonomy are preferable to those from less complex competencies Objectives should broadly relate to the catalog description meet the stated needs of the course as presented in section I B of this outline and not be too advanced or specific Be concise but complete typically ten items are too many whereas one item is not enough UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE THE STUDENT SHOULD BE ABLE TO IV A Perform basic operations addition subtraction multiplication and division of whole numbers fractions and decimals B Interconvert in any direction between quantities expressed as percentages common fractions and decimal fractions C Solve simple percent problems involving base rate and amount D Solve simple problems involving denominate numbers measurements E Demonstrate the ability to apply arithmetic skills needed in everyday situations F Read interpret and solve simple word problems G Identify basic geometric shapes and their attributes area perimeter circumference volume H Demonstrate mastery of key arithmetic skills needed for elementary algebra COURSE CONTENT Compile a complete list of topics taught in the course Arrange the list by topic with sub headings This list must be in concordance with the topics presented in the catalog description but should provide a greater level of detail Some portion of the content should relate clearly and directly to each one of the course objectives although there need not be a one to one
