Riverside City College Curriculum Committee

Proposal The Riverside City College (RCC) Math Department believes the 18 hours of Lab for Math 1C meets the criteria outlined in Article X Section F 2a-2c. Therefore, this proposal is to request the reclassification of Math 1C lab hours as lab hours requir-ing extensive preparation and student evaluation.

Description Currently our Math 1A and 1B course have 18 hours of Lab that meets the criteria outline in Article X Section F 2a-2c. However, Math 1C was not grouped with Math 1A and 1B, because the technology for 3-dimensional analysis was not avail-able during the early 1980’s. With the advancement of technology such as Mathematica, Geogebra, Desmos, and Graphing Calculators we can now provide an extensive lab for our Math 1C students, because the laboratory class:

• requires that instructors are involved with professional development, equivalent to that in lecture courses, in order to maintain proficiency in the areas covered by the laboratory work (addresses #5 from the contract).

o The instructor assigned to teach the lab will plan and create the necessary activities and assist students dur-ing the lab. In addition, instructors will have to learn/become familiar with the software used during the lab and also with any future updates.

• requires the active continuing presence of the instructor with ongoing involvement in lecturing, demonstrating, or assisting the students (addresses #1 from the contract).

o The lab will include math software(s) such as, Mathematica to reinforce concepts covered during lecture. Students will receive training by the instructor on how to use these software(s) to complete lab assignments and other in-class/out-class projects.

• requires extensive student preparation from text and lecture material prior to and after each laboratory session; The laboratory class requires the instructor to see that it is related to and correlated with an extensive classroom lecture program and is supplemented with assigned readings in texts (addresses #2 and 4 from contract).

o The lab will include collaborative learning activities designed to enhance and test students’ comprehension, by making math connections with specific topics/skill(s) covered during lecture throughout the semester.

• requires evaluation of student performance on a regular basis in the same manner as in non- laboratory classes

(addresses #3 from contract). o The lab assignments will be created and graded separately from the assignments associated with the lecture.

• is described in the course outline of record which clearly identifies compliance with the criteria above; The labora-

tory class is comparable to similar labs in at least some community colleges and four-year institutions in the state of California, by one-to-one equivalency or by use of laboratory or teaching assistants (addresses #6 and 7 from the contract).

o The laboratory class is described in the course outline of record which clearly identifies compliance with the criteria above and is comparable to other 5-unit multivariable calculus courses offered at neighboring community colleges such as, Chaffey, Citrus, and Glendale.

In conclusion, the Math departments at Riverside, Moreno Valley and Norco has approved the creation of the Math 1C labor-atory and we feel that this proposal satisfies the conditions needed to justify as an extensive preparation laboratory.


Lab #8 – Multiple Integrals

A common question that we are asked to do is to compute the exact volume of the solid that lies under the surface and over the unit disk. The hard part is not the integration, but the picture. So this is how you would do it using Mathematica:

So the picture above is the solid in question. Now lets use Mathematica to do the computation:

I would recommend retrying this example on your own. Then go to #1 and change a few things around. Please note, there maybe some work that needs to be done by hand.

z = 1− 4x2y2


Direction: Write down any work you did by hand and cut and paste anything you did on Mathematica. 1. Compute the volume of the solid that lies under the surface

and above the unit disk in the xy-plane. Create a plot of the solid (see my example). 2. Compute the area of the portion of the surface that lies above the square described by and . Create a plot of the solid (see my example).

z = cos(π2 (x2 + y2 ))

z = x2y2

−1≤ x ≤1 −1≤ y ≤1


Riverside City College Curriculum Committee

Proposal The Riverside City College (RCC) Math Department believes the lab hours to

Math 23 meet the criteria outlined in Article X Section F 2a-2c. Therefore, this is a pro-posal to request the reclassification of Math 23 lab hours as lab hours requiring extensive preparation and student evaluation.

Description Math 23 was designed as an accelerated college-level course to prepare STEM stu-

dents for calculus, and it replaces two four-unit courses. Currently, many STEM students take three or more semesters to complete the pre-requisite courses, Math 53 (Geometry), 36 (trigonometry), and 10 (precalculus), before enrolling in first semester calculus. With Math 23, students have the opportunity to finish their calculus pre-requisite course in one semester and first semester calculus by the end of their second semester. Although the Math 23 course outline of record is in alignment with the C-ID descriptor (Math 955 – Precalculus and Trigonometry), the Math Department voted to include additional topics to Math 23 which include geometry and basic algebra concepts that are important in pre-calculus and calculus courses. Given that Math 35 is the only prerequisite for Math 23, students will need many just-in-time remediation activities in the lab as they progress during the semester.

Criteria for determining an extensive preparation laboratory are as follows Article X Section F 2a-2c

1) The laboratory class requires the active continuing presence of the instructor with ongoing involvement in lecturing, demonstrating, or assisting the students;

The instructor assigned to teach Math 23 is the same instructor teaching its lab component. The lab component takes place in the same classroom as the lecture, and it requires the instructor presence to provide instructions and as-sist students in completing the lab assignments and/or activities.

2. The laboratory class requires extensive student preparation from text and lecture

material prior to and after each laboratory session; Math 23 is a new course offered by the RCC Math Department and its lab requires substantial preparation on the part of the instructor and students. The instructor lectures, creates, and implements the necessary activities for the lab. The activities incorporate math software(s) such as Desmos, and/or Geogebra, manipulatives, articles, books, and literatures related to topics in math. Students who do not finish the lab assignments are required to com-plete them outside the class.


3. The laboratory class requires evaluation of student performance on a regular basis in the same manner as in non-laboratory classes;

The Math 23 lab assignments such as individual or group handouts, quizzes, and projects are graded separately from the assignments associated with the lecture.

4. The laboratory class requires the instructor to see that it is related to and corre-lated with an extensive classroom lecture program and is supplemented with as-signed readings in texts.

The instructor assigned to teach Math 23 is responsible to see that the lab component is related to extensive math labs for calculus and support trigono-metric courses.

5. The laboratory class requires that instructors are involved with professional devel-opment, equivalent to that in lecture courses, in order to maintain proficiency in the areas covered by the laboratory work;

Given that Math 23 is a combo course, the lab to Math 23 is designed to ad-dress two main objectives: a) Provide just-in-time remediation in geometry and basic algebra as a

strategy to support students in the course. b) Reinforce concepts covered during the regular lecture.

6. The laboratory class is described in the course outline of record which clearly

identifies compliance with the criteria above; The Math 23 course outline of record contains the above criteria and it is written in accordance with other math courses with extensive lab component such as Math 1A and Math 1B.

7. The laboratory class is comparable to similar labs in at least some community col-leges and four-year institutions in the state of California, by one-to-one equiva-lency or by use of laboratory or teaching assistants

Math 23 is replacing two four-unit courses, but students only pay for six units. The course outline of record is in alignment with the C-ID Descriptor Math 955 (Precalculus and Trigonometry) which requires the precalculus and trigonometric course to be a minimum of six units. On the C-ID web-site, some community colleges and a California State University, Bakersfield offer similar courses.


Foothill College offers two five-unit courses as a trigonometry and precal-culus combo course (10 units). San Joaquin Delta College offers two four-unit courses as a trigonometry and precalculus combo course. (8 units) California State University, Bakersfield offers a six-unit combo course. (6 units) Hartnell Community College offers a six-unit combo course. (6 units)

See https://c-id.net/courses/search for a complete list. The math department agreed and voted to submit a proposal to request a one-to-

one equivalency for the lab component. If you have any questions, please contact the curriculum representative for the math department.

Oral HistoryCourse has never been taught and is out of compliance. When the course was offered it never attracted enough students to run and the required course caps of 49 make the course inherently unwieldy. As it designed, oral history requires equipment that must be purchased and maintained, and is more in keeping with the mission of four‐year universities with upper division seminars.

Transition Course for Advanced Placement StudentsThis course is organized around an online format that is augmented with extended activities through online learning modules, interactive quizzes, and exams. Students will be required to participate in web‐based interactive video recorded case study scenarios on various topics and demonstrate the skill of analyzing the specific care that needs to be provided based on the specific scenario presented. The learners may be required to video record and upload skills preformed if required (i.e. Webcam recording from a remote location shared with peer learners via Canvas and/or confer‐zoom). These submissions will be critiqued, commented upon and graded. In addition, there may be synchronous online chat meetings and webinars. The learning environment for this course is one of lecture and discussion followed by collaboration and independent learning. Instructional strategies include video lessons with lectures, demonstrations, experiential activities, group activities, discussions and real‐world applications. Additionally, online instructional strategies delivered through current Learning Management System include threaded discussions, readings, videos, and the use of audio/video synchronous and asynchronous multimedia tools. Each student is expected to take personal responsibility for completing all assignments and readings independently, as well as actively participating in online discussions and collaborative activities each week throughout the course. Synchronous online meetings could be scheduled at various times, depending on the needs and schedules of the students in the course.

Latin American Culture and CivilizationA hybrid class format allows the instructor to expand the course materials outside of the classroom while ensuring in‐class time devoted to interpersonal interaction, dynamic instruction, and in‐person assessment. Abundant authentic materials available on the web, in addition to course and instructor‐provided resources, enrich not only the cultural content of the class but also enhance student listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. Moreover, a hybrid course not only may increase student access and serve unmet needs, but it may also give the department flexibility in course offerings by overcoming room/time limitations of classroom space.

Upon successful completion of CUL 50, students will take a ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification Exam that is required for any food service worker to work in a professional kitchen. With the addition of this course, the successful graduate candidate will provide a stronger skillset to their future employer, as well as their own standard values.
