None Requested Credits Classification: (Applicant) Degree Applicable Non-Degree Applicable X Noncredit Revised Page 1 of 5 COURSE OUTLINE This outline should contain sufficient information to: (a) (b) Permit the curriculum committee to correctly determine whether the course should be classified as noncredit, non-degree credit, or degree credit under Title 5, Sections 55002 and 55805.5. Clarify the minimal obligations of the instructors of the course. (All instructors should be familiar with this outline and should use it in planning their courses, though their own syllabi may add objectives, goals, content, assignments and/or materials, may describe topics and objectives somewhat differently, and may place them in a different sequence.) OBJECTIVES: Limit these to the maximum number of critical objectives that can be effectively monitored and assessed. Formulate at least some of them in terms of student accomplishments concrete and specific enough that it can be determined to what extent they have in fact been achieved. For degree-applicable courses, include objectives in the area of critical thinking by requiring such outcomes as the ability to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc. 1. 2. 3. At the completion of this course of study, students will be able to understand and practice continued renewal of marriage commitment. Students will be able to exercise tolerance of the various stages each partner experiences. Participants will be able to discuss the problems and successes in child rearing, dealing with aging parents, and preparing and surviving life-threatening illnesses. TEXTS, OTHER READINGS AND MATERIALS: (List typical or required primary sources, texts, and other materials; or reference college bookstore computerized listings, etc.) Teacher prepared, therapist materials, and state prepared materials of counselors and psychologist. Determining whether or not materials are college level is a subtle matter, often not reducible to even the best readability formula. Certainly most of the material should be certifiable as at least 10th grade, but some well written works of merit may have a lower readability measure while other tests may have a high readability measure only because they are poorly written. Of probably more importance than readability per se is the complexity and breadth the of ideas presented. The value of the content and the quality of the presentation should always be given greater weight than readability alone.

SKILL DEMONSTRATION MULTIPLE CHOICE OTHER: (Describe) *For degree credit: (a) at least one of the first three boxes must be checked and (b) if "essay" is not checked, it must be explained why essays are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade in the course. ABE 036 COURSE CONTENT Page 3 of 5 College level courses should stress general principles of wide applicability.

It has been designed by State Chancellor s Office to incorporate new provisions in Title 5, adopted by the Board of Governors and written into law in 1986-87. These new regulations have resulted from the sustained cooperation and the vision of faculty and curriculum officers throughout the state. In carefully defining the characteristics of a college level course, they provide the opportunity of colleges to rethink the significance of their degrees and assure high credibility to the Associate degree earned anywhere in California.
