Course Levels
Course Levels
Increase in 000-level is somewhat deceptive because some courses that were 100-level in 1987 were 000-level in 2001. For example, the big jump in 000-level credits, and the corresponding drop in 100-level credits, that occurs at Fall 1992 is undoubtedly caused by the replacement of MAH 107 with MAH 070.
Biggest changes are caused by restructuring the catalog!

Historically speaking, JCC’s “Big 6” of courses are ENG 101, ENG 102, SOC 101, PY 110, MA 108 (now MAH 083), and MA 109. These six courses consistently account for 20% to 25% of the credit hours generated at JCC. The chart shows the percentage of the total credit hours generated at JCC that are generated by the “Big 6” -- as well as the percentage for each individually.

Numbers of GraduatesMore, then Less
What Does This Say? Despite wild changes in some areas of JCC, core indicators are amazingly constant, with ’87 & ’01 being almost identical. This suggests:
•Real Need for JCC in Community. Our Students Need Us.
•Core Business of Teaching/Learning is Highly Robust.
•President, Upper Admin Have Little Impact (Just Keep the Doors Open, Please).
•AAS Programs Come & Go – Rising Stars replace Sinking Ships. Gen-Ed is the engine of the College.
Pursue What We Are! We are, at the core, that which our community needs us to be. If the past 15 years have not changed us, new initiatives, programs, etc. are unlikely to change us.
Advise, be open to students, grade tough, help students succeed, hold their hand, kick their a__ , develop new ideas, hone the tried and true, do the best job you can do at being what you are. Worry less about the running of the college. We won’t be turning into either a pumpkin or a Ferrari anytime soon.
