  1. CLS 101/101A Freshman Experience (3/1) – GE Area E

  2. CLS 101 Satisfies Area E Requirements • The overriding themes of the course – the perennial questions of human existence – are the themes specified in EO 595. • Intellectually demanding and rigorous introduction to the university experience. • Life long learning skills – including student success skills – flow from and compliment the academic focus of the course.

  3. Definition Executive Order 595: An Area E course will help equip students “…for lifelong understanding and development of themselves as integrated physiological and psychological entities” and “…will consider such matters as human behavior, sexuality, nutrition, health, stress, key relationships of humankind to the social and physical environment, and implications of death and dying.”

  4. What the Chancellor’s Office says (part one): From the Chancellor’s Office: “Area E courses should not spend inordinate amounts of time on college-specific of ‘study skills.’” – from Guiding Notes for CSU General Education Course Reviewers (http://www.calstate.edu/app/documents/EO-595/ReviewGuide_Articulation.pdf)

  5. What the Chancellor’s Office says (part two): • “It is up to the CSU campuses to decide for themselves what works for the GE Areas as they are described in EO 595.” – Christine Hanson Interim Dean, Academic Planning Program Coordinator of GE Affinity GroupChancellor’s Office

  11. CLS 100:Fall 2007, sample coursework The Fall 2007 course focused on the relationship between technology, the environment, and society and its effects on human beings as social, psychological and physiological entities. • Accomplished by a careful reading and analysis of Dr. David Ehrenfeld’s controversial book Swimming Lessons: Keeping Afloat in the Age of Technology (Oxford University Press, 2002) • In addition to the text, students read authors such as Orwell, Dickens, Leopold, Schor, and Krugman. • Lecture and campus visit for the CLS students and university community by Professor Ehrenfeld (Rutgers).

  12. Fall 2007: Coursework, continued • Student success skills were informed by and naturally followed from engagement with the text, fellow students, the faculty teaching the course and the author. • Students produced an average of 3000 words of academic writing, in addition some sections required journals, an oral presentation, and a final paper. • Students completed a student success/study skills portfolio that had a heavy writing component and required students to learn about the academic resources the University has to offer.
