SOC 903, Los Angeles: Reflections On Its Heritage, is a Self-Guided (Independent) Study Course designed to help teachers become more knowledgeable about the history of California. (Each of the six courses offered by Bob and Elaine Kirchner, through Fresno Pacific University, is unique in its purpose, requirements, assignments, materials and visitation sites.) Accreditation: Fresno Pacific University is the only fully accredited, Christian liberal arts senior school in the southern part of California's great Central Valley. The School of Professional Studies, through its Center for Professional Development (CPD), offers a variety of independent study courses to help meet the ever-increasing demand for professional growth for K-12 educators. To provide flexibility and to better serve the needs of the school community, these courses are delivered using a combination of modalities: printed materials and texts, audiotapes, videotapes, CD-ROM, and on-line distance learning. These courses are not on-campus courses. Inasmuch as travel is by the student's private car, the Self-Guided (Independent) study format permits the busy teacher/student to "self-determine" when to complete on-site visitation requirements. It also permits the student an opportunity to have family/friends share in both the "home" and "on-site" learning experiences. Travel is by the teacher's private car, and teachers may enroll at any time during the year. Teachers have up to one year to complete all course requirements. A weekend (or any two days) in the historic site area will allow the teacher/student time to complete On-Site Visitation requirements for each of the six Self-Guided (Independent) Study Courses offered by Bob and Elaine Kirchner. Off-site requirements may be completed at home, and the teacher has up to one year to complete all requirements.
 Teachers who enroll in SOC 903, Los Angeles: Reflections on Its Heritage, are required to visit the following four Information Sites in the Los Angeles area. (The instructor has constructed images of each of the areas listed below. Prior to your actual site visitation, you may wish to visit these listed below.)
