BASIC SKILLS
The Basic Skills program consists of several English
and Math courses designed to prepare students for
English 6 and Math 10 and to allow more advanced
students to review core English and Math skills.
Students enroll in courses that combine lecture and lab,
which allow students to receive direct instruction in a
classroom setting while practicing their skills at their
own pace.
To prepare for English 6, students should enroll in BSKL
1, Reading and Writing One (2 units), and then BSKL 2,
Reading and Writing 2 (2 units). Students who place in
English 6 or English 50 and are interested in reviewing
their grammar skills should enroll in BSKL 5, Beginning
English Grammar (2 units).
Students who want to move more gradually towards
English 6 should begin with BSKL 1A, Reading and
Writing One-A, and then take BSKL 1B, Reading and
Writing One-B. They should then take BSKL 2, Reading
and Writing Two.
To prepare for Math 10, students should enroll in BSKL
6, Math Operations with Whole Numbers (1 unit); BSKL
7, Math Operations with Rational Numbers (1 unit); and
then BSKL 8, Math Operations with Decimals. Students
who place in Math 50 and are interested in a review
should enroll in BSKL 9, Fractions, Decimals and
Percentages (1 unit).
BASIC SKILLS COURSES
BSKL 1 READING AND WRITING ONE
Units: 2.0 - 16-18 hours lecture and 48-54 hours
laboratory. This course will not apply to the Associate
Degree. (No prerequisite. Pass/No Pass)
