English Composition component of the Language and Rationality general education requirement:

American River College is committed to the principle of providing general education which includes: Humanities, Languages and Rationality, Living Skills, Natural Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Ethnic/Multicultural Studies.

Description of General Education Areas and Alignment with Institutional Student Learning Outcomes* Humanities (3 units minimum) Courses in the humanities are those which study the cultural activities and artistic expressions of human beings. To satisfy the general education requirement in the humanities, a course should help the student develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures have responded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student develop an aesthetic understanding and an ability to make value judgments. This category includes introductory or integrative courses in the arts, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, religion, and related disciplines.

Living Skills (3 units minimum) One physical education activity course (with ADAPT, DANCE, FITNS, PACT, SPORT, or TMACT designators) must be taken in this area and a minimum of 2 units from the other courses included in this category. Adapted physical education courses are available for students with documented physical disabilities. These Adapted courses will fulfill the graduation requirement. Courses in this area may be selected from a number of different disciplines that help students to acquire skills and knowledge to understand themselves as whole persons (integral to their environment). This category includes the study of courses that develop and maintain personal, social, physical and emotional well-being. It is the intent that this area includes such courses as health education, human sexuality, marriage and family, nutrition, and personal adjustment.

Institutional Student Learning Outcomes aligned with Humanities

• Demonstrate skills and behaviors which contribute to open and respectful communication of diverse ideas and beliefs. • For students earning degrees, demonstrate an understanding of the basic content and methodology for the major areas of knowledge, including the arts and humanities, quantitative reasoning, the natural sciences, and the social sciences.

Courses in language and rationality are those which use and examine principles and guidelines of clear and logical thinking and communication. Courses in this category should build upon rather than remediate verbal and quantitative skills. a) English Composition: Courses fulfilling the written composition requirement should include both expository and argumentative writing.
