Pan African Studies 097 "Developmental Reading"
California State University, Northridge
Summer Bridge 1996

Pan African Studies 097 ("Developmental Reading") is a "CR/NC" three-unit University credit-bearing course within the California State University (CSU) system designed for students scoring within the 120-141 range on the English Placement Test (EPT) and for those students who have not taken the EPT. As offered within the Summer Bridge Program at CSU Northridge, it is an intensive five- week course that meets daily for 115 minutes and is fully integrated with the Pan African Studies 100 ("Introduction to African American Culture") course to provide incoming CSUN freshmen with the critical thinking, reading, writing and study skills necessary to persist towards successful matriculation within the CSU system to the undergraduate degree. Students receiving "CR" in this course are eligible to advance to the next step in the writing sequence of the CSU, that being 098 ("Basic Writing Skills") or, having met the proper requisites, then advancing to the 155 (i.e., "Effective Writing/Freshman Composition") course satisfying the University's Written Composition General Education Section "A" requirement. The emphasis in this course is upon developing and enhancing skills with regards to reading speed, reading comprehension, vocabulary, critical thinking, test-taking and study skills, gaining literacy with personal computers and computer-assisted research skills, and the basic writing skills necessary to fulfill those requirements in the 100-level lower division University courses such as PAS 100. Taking the Integrated Core Curriculum Model originally conceived for Summer Bridge at Northridge to a new level with this precedent-setting Netscape WebPage, this particular Pan African Studies 097 course is fully enmeshed with its PAS 100 ("Introduction to African American Culture") cohort with every assignment designed to embellish and enhance learning outcomes in the other course.

Given the fact that less than one-half of all students entering CSU Northridge persist to graduate, and that less than 20 percent of those African American and Chicano-Latino students admitted to CSUN as freshmen persist to graduate, it is a major concern of the Summer Bridge Program to develop in these students coming as they do from historically underrepresented, disadvantaged minorities the abilities needed to ultimately complete the undergraduate experience and earn the university degree. It is a very critical focus of this PAS 097 course, recognizing these facts, to develop in these students coming as they do from at-risk socioeconomic backgrounds, the research, literacy, cognitive thinking and critical study skills required not only to persist but also flourish in the University. Given these goals, there are certain basic objectives for this component of the student's learning experience in this PAS 097 component of the Summer Bridge Program.

1. To become adept at time and life management efficiency
2. To become proficient in critical listening skills
3. To become proficient with note-taking skills
4. To enhance the student's test-taking skills with respect to oral examinations, essay examinations, objective tests and open book examinations
5. To enhance the student's critical reading skills with regards to improving reading comprehension and reading speed
6. To increase the student's level of vocabulary, particulary with regards to that expected of University students
7. To enable the student to grasp the inferential meanings of sentences, paragraphs and longer compositions while also exposing them to multiethnic, multicultural writing
8. To expand the oral communication skills and abilities of the student through collaborative learning and rhetorical debates that required field and library research along with critical study of the argumentative mode of discourse
9. To develop and enhance research skills to include using the Internet, library sciences and field investiagtive techniques
10. Very certainly, to improve and enhance the student's written communication skills; and finally,
11. To empower the student with the consciousness necessary not only to avoid becoming negative college statistics but, far more importantly, to become one of those positive role models of the University Community.

1. Pre and Post Diagnostic Testing in Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary ;
2. Three (3) formal essay examinations of 45 minutes' duration requiring large Blue Books;
3. Three (3) formal course-based examinations, one of which will be a 45-minute essay that requires a large Blue Book with the other two consisting of a 60-minute Objective Quiz and a 90-minute Midterm Objective Examination;
4. Maintenance of a Summer Bridge Reader's Journal requiring a single-subject, color-coded green spiral notebook based upon the formal entries listed in the course syllabus and/or assigned by the course instructor. This Journal shall be evaluated twice during the semester and is to be kept according to the format indicated in "The Student Journal." No student shall receive credit for the course who fails to maintain and submit said Journal;
5. Formal homework assignments as detailed in the course syllabus and assigned by the course instructor. No student shall receive credit for the course who fails to maintain a homework grade point average of at least 2.3 (No exceptions!) or fails to submit three (3) or more of the assignments. Homework is to be submitted using email unless otherwise indicated by the course instructor;
6. Development and submission of the Summer Bridge Issues and Concepts Portfolio based upon "The Issues Portfolio" with the student submitting this term project for grading in a 3-ring color-coded black binder. No student shall receive credit for this course who fails to maintain and submit said Issues Portfolio;
7. Three (3) formal group presentations, each consisting of 45 minutes and based upon the 9-Step Life Management Protocol, College Survival Study Skills, and the Argumentative Essay topic as assigned by the course instructor; and
8. In collaboration with the PAS 100 cohort for this course taught by Dr. Eleazu Obinna, there will be four (4) formal writing assignments of at least 500-750 words (see syllabus) that must be typewritten according to standard manuscript format and based upon assigned topics with at least one of these assignments (i.e., the Argumentative Essay) a collaborative assignment requiring usage of Modern Language Association guidelines in citations and "Works Cited." The writing assignments are first written for the 097 course where papers are evaluated and graded based upon grammar, mechanics, syntax, diction and structure.They are then given to the student for the appropriate corrections, with the revised writing assignment then submitted to the PAS 100 course for final evaluation and grading. No student shall receive "CR" for this course who fails to complete any of the writing assignments (No exceptions!).

Grading for this course will be done on a "CR/NC" basis with students expected to maintain a minimum gpa of 2.3 in the course based upon the following grade factors:

1. Essay Examinations
2. Objective Examinations
3. Summer Bridge Reader's Journal
4. Formal Homework Assignments
5. Summer Bridge Issues and Concepts Portfolio
6. Group Presentations including Quality Circle, Midterms & Debates, and

Every student enrolled shall have the opportunity to personally conference with the course instructor, with one mandatory conference within the first two weeks of the course and a second conference as necessary and deemed by the course instructor. It is expected that every student will maintain satisfactory attendance in the course with three or more absences cause for dismissal from the course and/or a grade of "No Credit." Any student guilty ofcheating or who knowingly plagiarizes the work of another will be dismissed from the course (which, in the case of Summer Bridge, also means summary dismissal from the Program itself!), given a grade of "No Credit," or similarly disciplined as per the provisions of the University Honor Code. All students are expected to observe and respect the rule of collegiality in relationships with peers, faculty and staff.
