 ~~~~~~~~~~   

Counseling 151 is a 3 unit course that in addition to counting towards an AA/AS degree, also transfers to CSU and fulfills Area E of the General Education Requirements for CSU.  This course is rigorous, requires critical thinking skills and ability to communicate in oral speech and writing; it is also fun, stimulating and will provide you with much self satisfaction.  There may be some discomfort associated with the self assessment process but we will only dwell on and distinguish the positive aspects of oneself.  There is no critical judging allowed during the self awareness process. 

This course is offered on a letter grade (A-F).   All assignments and quizzes are weighted equally except the final is worth slightly more.  A positive and courteous attitude can turn -=s  into +=s.  Excuses not accepted.
