At itsmeeting ofFebruary 9, 2012, the Department ofFrench approved the attached prerequisite change,
and calendar revision for FREN 407W.
Would you please place this proposal ontheagenda of the next meeting of theFaculty of Arts andSocial
Sciences Curriculum Committee?
Please note: Thecalendar presently shows a double entry for FREN 407 (FREN 407 and FREN 407W).
FREN 407 wasgiven the W designation effective theFall2011 term(SCUS 1l-19f); however, it has
come to our attention that the original entry was not removed. There is no FREN 407 without the W
designation and this should be removed to avoid confusion.

IRE Courses not offered in past semesters
|DATE Dec. 27/2012
Back in2010, two French practicum courses, 185 and 285, were temporarily
withdrawn (see https://docushare.srU.ca/dsweb/Get/Document-401465/S 10-
351.pdfl.
I'm writing to request that both ofthese courses bereinstated as they are necessary
parts of the French Co-op Program. They are currently included in the program
description (http://sfadents.sm.ca/(^endar/n-ench/n^n>co-oD.htmn but no longer
appear in the list ofcourses (http://smdents.sru.ca/calendar/french/fren-
courses.html). This has created some confusion.
Wewould like to have FRENCH 185 and 285 back inthe books by Fall of 2012 if
possible.

Evaluation of Health Programs for Older Adults
GERO 450-4
Instructor:
Wister/Sixsmith/Sessional
Office Hours: TBA
Course Description and Learning Outcomes:
This course wallteach students how to design, implement, and evaluate health and social
programs and services targeting older persons or those transitioning into old age. A selection
of
approaches will be covered that reflect divergent theoretical and methodological perspectives,
including process and impact evaluation methods. Examples ofprograms include: managing
chronic illness; exercise programs targeting frail elders; cancer screening programs; innovative
home and assistive technologies, intergenerational programs; post-occupancy evaluations;
community-based health programs; age-friendly and sustainable community programs; caregiver
interventions; elder abuse education; media campaigns; and programs for institutional
populations.
Prerequisites:
GERO 301
Research Methods in Gerontology (or an equivalent methods course from
another department or program)
GERO 101/300 Recommended
Students enrolled in the Gerontology Diploma Program are strongly advised to complete GERO
450 near the end
oftheir program. Students who have taken Gero 400 may not take this course
for credit.
Distribution ofGrades:
Grades in the course will be determined as follows:
25% - Development of an Evaluation Framework
50% - Group Evaluation Research Project
25% - Final Exam
Development ofan Evaluation Framework
Each student will develop an evaluation framework that provides the rationale, design, and
methodology necessary to carry out a hypotheticalprogram evaluation. This is a mini proposal
for an evaluation (details to be covered in class). It will be due by Week 5.
Group Evaluation Research Project
The purpose of the group evaluationresearch project is to provide students with first-hand
experience in conducting evaluation research. Students will work in small groups of3-5 students
(dependingon class size) and will conductan approvedevaluationstudy, and submit a report to
the class by Weeks 12/13. Given that there are different types ofevaluation designs, and that
some studies take time to collect pre-post outcome data (i.e. randomized clinical trials), students
will onlybe required to collect primary(new) data on the process evaluation component ofan
actual ongoing program through one ormore ofthe following designs that they will learn in
class: stakeholder oropinion leader survey, focus group study; observational analyses; or client
survey. Inspecial circumstances, students may conduct a pre-post design orpost occupancy
evaluation.
Each group will berequired tosubmit an evaluation proposal, which must be approved bythe
instructor, prior toconducting the study. Individual evaluation frameworks may beused for
this purpose, but may need toberetrofitted tomeet the group evaluation criteria. The group
project will typically only complete part ofthe evaluation study, given time limits. The
proposalwill include:
1) a rationale for the evaluation;
2) a description ofthe program;
3) a detailed description of the proposed methodology including:
i) thenumber and type ofparticipants and how they will be obtained;
ii) the designand measures thatwillbe used;
iii) theprocedures tobe followed inconducting thestudy including those designed to
safeguard participants'confidentiality.
Final Exam
The final examwill entailcritiquing a completed evaluation studypublished in a peer
reviewed journal. Thiswillbe anopen book exam with access to allcourse materials.

Course Description
Illustrations, advertisements, infographics, photographs, art,scientific illustrations,
cartoons, diagrams: wearesurrounded by images. They are used to entertain, persuade,

than moving) images. We will explore what isrevealed about images when asking social
science questions: questions about empirical evidence, social relations, inequality, and
social theory. We will also explore whatisrevealed about images whenasking questions
informed bythe arts andhumanities: questions aboutsubjectivity, imagination, creativity,
tradition, and historical context.The coursewillalso further students' academicskills
through readings, assignments, and quizzes.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion ofthis course, studentswill be ableto:
- respond to images using perceptual, formal, contextual, historical, personal, or social
perspectives,
- articulate connections between social context and image creation or interpretation,

From First Year University to a Major Program
Students are encouraged to meet with the advisor to discuss and plan their future
choice of major or minor programs. Doing so may prevent unnecessary education
delays by planning ahead to moot program requirements, because some programs
lor 11.20\TL
may have enrolment limitations with competitive entry standards thatarc based on
academic performance. Students who are unable to gain admission to such
programs shouldconsultthe advisor regarding otheroptions.
TO:
Explorations in the Arts and Social Sciences First-Year Program
This interdisciplinary program, based at Simon Fraser University Surrey, introduces
first-vear students to arts and social scienceperspectives on select contemporary
issues. The program helps students advance university-level academic skills, and to
Question, research, and think independently. Students
are encouraged to develop
communication
and reasoning skills that will serve them well in and beyond the
university,
Courses in the first semester focus on contemporarvissues,examinedfrom a variety
of disciplinary perspectives. Coursesin the second semester introduce approaches
to research and to academic writing.
The program is offered in fall and spring terms at Simon Fraser UniversitySurrey
Students register in two Explorations courses in the fall term, and in one or more
Explorations course in the spring term. In each term students also select
at least
one elective offered bythe Faculty ofArts and Social Sciences atSurrey. Students'
mavadd other electivesas thev wish. Formore information on Explorationsanrj

From First Year University to
a
Major Program
Students are encouraged to meet with the advisorto discussthe majors or minors

Someprograms have enrolment limitationswith competitive entry standards that

such programs should consult the advisorregarding other options.
Rationale:
-Thedemand forExplorations asa first-year program isexcellent Applications
have increased every yearsince the inception ofthe program, andwe currently
receive four applications for each place in the program. The 24 unit Certificate
Program that builds on the first-year program has been less successful, however.
We propose to delete it due to insufficient demand, and to concentrate on the first-
year program. We will retain the Explorations capstone courses (EXPL 310W and
EXPL 320). They providestudents at SFU Surreywith interdisciplinary studies,
experiential learning, or capstone experiences; enrollment andpedagogical
innovation justify their continuation.
