SLHS 303 - Hearing and Speech Science

Units: 4 ; Breadth Area: GE-UD-5
Acoustic fundamentals of hearing, voice, and speech, including audition (hearing sensitivity and thresholds, masking, critical bands, and speech perception), phonation (glottal source signal and source-filter theory), articulation (acoustical phonetics of consonants and vowels), resonance, and clinical applications. 

Breadth Area(s) Satisfied: GE-UD-5 - Upper Division Science or Mathematical Concepts/Quantitative Reasoning
Prerequisites: Completion of GE Areas 1A, 1B, 1C and GE-2 with grade C- (CR) or better (GE Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4 for students on the 2024-25 or earlier catalogs).
Strongly Recommended Preparation: Upper division status (greater than 60 earned semester units) and completion of lower division GE Area 5.
Possible Instructional Methods: On-ground.
Grading: A-F grading only.
Course Typically Offered: Spring ONLY


Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
 

  1. Apply basic principles of mathematics and physics to the acoustics of speech and hearing.
  2. Describe key aspects of psychoacoustics.
  3. Use instrumentation and software to collect and analyze samples of normal and disordered speech and hearing.


E. Lifelong Learning and Self-Development Learning Outcomes
 

  1. Demonstrate advanced and/or focused science or quantitative content knowledge in a specific scientific field, using appropriate vocabulary and referencing appropriate concepts (such as models, uncertainties, hypotheses, theories, and
  2. Apply advanced quantitative skills (such as statistics, algebraic solutions, interpretation of graphical data) to scientific problems and evaluate scientific claims.
  3. Demonstrate understanding of the nature of science and scientific inquiry and the experimental and empirical methodologies used in science to investigate a scientific question or issue.
  4. Apply science content knowledge to contemporary scientific issues (e.g., global warming) and technologies (e.g., cloning), where appropriate.
