This publication contains materials for four courses in Applied Humanities in the Applied Academics program at South Seattle Community College. It begins with the article, "Community College Applied Academics: The State of the Art?" (George B.

Materials provided for each course include the following: course outline (credit, lecture, and lab hours; course description; prerequisites; learning objectives and hours of instruction) and course syllabus (course description; required materials; other policies; weekly schedules). Critical Thinking and Ethics in the Work Place (applied philosophy) is an introduction to critical thinking, logic, and scientific thinking with applications to other courses, everyday life, and work. Responsibilities and Rights in a Free Society (applied civics) examines individual rights and responsibilities in a free society in the practical context of an individual's roles as a citizen and resident of various levels of government, family member, and employee or employer. Applied Esthetics assists the student in developing an esthetic approach to technology and the world of work. Lifecycles of Technology (applied history) teaches students to use historical content, analytical process, research methods, analytical methods, and writing techniques to anticipate, understand, and benefit from changing technology.
