RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
a,
DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY
ARCH 390-5 Introduction to Archaeobotany
RATIONALE:
There
are three reasons for offering this course. First, it is the major research focus of a new
faculty member who was hired specifically to teach a course in archaeobotany. Second,
although archaeobotany has developed only recently into* a niajor fbcu of archaeology, there
are few, if any, courses in Canada that offer students extensive laboratory instruction in
archaeobotany. Given the significance of plant domestication in human prehistory and the
ubiquity of plant remains oh many archaeological sites, all archaeology majors should have
some backgrourd in archaeobotanical analysis and interpretation. Third, this course
complements other specialised laboratory courses taught in the Archaeology Department:
zooarchaeology, dating methods, cerarnic analysis and geoarchaeology. As such, it can he
taught with very few additional equipment purchases and upgrades.

MEMORANDUM
To: ?
Andrea Lebowitz ?
From: Christine Prisland
Chair ?
Departmental Assistant
RE: BC Studies Certificate
I am recommending withdrawal of the BC Studies Certificate program from the
Calendar. I am basing this recommendation primarily on the lack of demand from
students for this Certificate, and secondarily because certain components of the
Certificate have not been offered for at least 10 years.
I would also recommend that the two students who appear to be actively trying to
complete the Certificate (Jacqueline Begg and Julie Anne Turcotte), be allowed to do
so and that we write to each student letting them know of the cancellation of the
Certificate and giving them the option of completing it under the existing regulations.
1. ?
Lack of Demand:
have been responsible for advising for the Certificate since August of 1989. In that
time, I have received fewer than five queries about it.
Only two students have graduated with the Certificate (according to a search done in the
Registrar's office)--one in 87-1 and one in 86-2.
According to my files, there are eight students showing the Certificate active on their
records at SFU. Only three of the eight students have taken courses towards the
Certificate since 1987 (Begg , Turcotte and Janzen). Please refer to the chart on the
next page.
it appears as if only two students may be trying to actively complete the Certificate. One
of these students, Jacqueline Begg, declared the Certificate in 85-3, although the
regulations state it should be completed within 5 years. All of the students with the
exception of Janzen (in 89-1) and Turcotte (in 92-3) declared the Certificate more than 5
years ago-

A requirement which appears in the brochure published by Continuing Studies, but
does not appear in the Calendar, is "participation in the credit-free component of the
program, such as an introductory session (to provide the conceptual framework) and the
other sessions offered (to provide integration of program studies)." This has not been
done since the early 80s, according to information from Jean Jordan.
Participation in either Arch 433, Geog 498 or a credit free field study course is also listed
under requirements, however, the credit-free field study has never been offered that I
could find out.

RATIONALE:
The present list of elective courses was compiled prior to launching the CED Post
Baccalaureate Programme and prior to our gaining experience in offering this
programme.
General course demand pressures in the university and normal evolution of curriculum in
other departments have made it necessary for us to reexamine our elective lists. Some
courses have been closed to "outsiders" by departments; others dropped to lower level
. ?
standing; others eliminated entirely from the calendar; some previously chosen are now
rarely offered. As several DAs pointed out when consulted, most of their 400-level
courses get filled very quickly by their own majors with high priority. As a result, our
Page
5
students, mostly employed professionals pursuing Continuing Studies, are finding it
extremely difficult to pursue their diploma in a consistent and timely manner given the
presently telescoped list of electives.
Fortunately, the broadening interest in CED-related issues in many other departments,
apparent in the 1993-94 Calendar, makes it possible to (1) ease the specific course
demand pressure on both our students and "host" departments, (2) satisfy the demand for
multiple or more current perspectives, and (3) facilitate student progress through the
program, by expanding our "pre-approved" list of relevant electives, in consultation with
the departments in question.
Proposed inclusions demonstrate, for example, courses with Feminist, First Nations
Studies, Latin American, "process" and communications-based analysis, critical
humanism, and critical human geography, many of which areas of scholarship have
expanded since our original list was approved.
In addition, upper level courses formerly included in our list of "Recommended" courses
are being proposed for inclusion among Electives to eliminate the confusing distinction
between elective and recommended.
RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE ADDITIONS
Courses are proposed for addition for the following reasons, all reflecting the dictum of
George McRobie (whose report forms the founding document of SFU's CED Centre)
that "CED walks the knife-edge between idealism and realism":
(1)
New courses with content relevant to CED issue;
(2)
Similar content from alternate perspectives,
i.e. Political Geography and Geographic Politics; Tourism in Geography, REM
or Sociology
(3)
Similar material at a more available level,
i.e. Tourism in a 300-level Geography course or 600-level REM course;
Business at both 300 and 500 levels.
(4)
Broadened gender and cultural perspectives, i.e. Women's Studies and First
Nations Studies;
(5)
International focus for students looking to work in or return to developing
countries;
(6)
More choices for rural or urban focus;
(7)
More, practical, business -oriented electives.
Notes: * Designates a current distance education course
** Special Topics Courses are eligible when the above, relevant topics are
offered.

departments in any case.

School for the Contemporary Arts
SUMMARY OF CURRICULUM CHANGES
Rationale
In the fall of 1990 the School for the Contemporary Arts instituted a major curriculum revision in the
form of five BFAs and a Critical Studies in the Arts Major Program. The BFAs were developed from
existing major programs in each art discipline; the Critical Studies in the Arts Major program was
developed from a core of interdisciplinary theoretical and historical courses within the School for the
Contemporary Arts.
As a result of the experience of actually teaching these programs, the department has had the opportunity
to assess them and propose refinements to the new curriculum. These curricular changes improve the
overall curriculum of the School by making course descriptions and requirements reflect actual course
teaching practices; encouraging consistency throughout the programs; increasing the ease of access for
•
students registering in courses; enhancing pedagogy; and employing our faculty complement to our
greatest advantage.

1. New Course Proposal
FPA 311-5 The Arts in Context: Selected Topics
Summary
The introduction of a new course FPA 311-5 The Arts in Context: Selected Topics results from the
recognition of the curricular and pedagogical needs of the new major program in the School for the
Contemporary Arts: The Critical Studies in the Arts Major. FPA 311, an open topic course, will provide
flexibility within our curriculum while using our faculty complement for this program economically and
to best advantage.
Rationale
The School for the Contemporary Arts offers a series of interdisciplinary historical courses in the fine
and performing arts, The Arts in Context, as a core component of its curriculum. The Arts in Context
series consists at present of a five course cycle: FPA 310-5 Renaissance; FPA 312-5 Baroque;
FPA 313-5 Romanticism; FPA 314-5 Modernism; FPA 3
1
?
Contemporar
y
. These courses are
regularly taught by two faculty.
FPA 311-5 The Arts in Context: Selected Topics will become part of the Arts in Context series. Its
introduction will increase curricular flexibility in the historical and theoretical studies of the Fine and
Performing Arts making it possible for Critical Studies faculty to respond to the changing needs of the
School. The course has also been designed to offered by one faculty member. This increases teaching
flexibility in the Critical Studies in the Arts Major. Student work load in the course will be
commensurate with a five credit course.
The thematic or historical focus of FPA 311 will be shaped according to specific curricular needs within
the School for the Contemporary Arts as well as to interests of faculty. Suitable topics would integrate
the theoretical and cultural aspects of a particular study. Some examples of Special Topics that would
he viable proposals for this course are:
Court Cultures and the Arts
The Arts of the Asian Diaspora
Debates on the Body (see attached course outline and bibliography)

Program Alteration Proposal
Change to Program Requirement
Objective
To include in the lower level requirements of each of the abOve programs, FPA 227-3 History of Dance:
20th Century.
Rationale
Each of the programs listed above requires students to complete one lower level course selected from a
list which is comprised of history and critical courses in the various disciplines within Contemporary
Arts. In each of these programs, the list of courses from which students must choose one, includes FPA
127-3 History of Dance: Origins to the 20th Century and excludes FPA 227-3 History of Dance.
At the time the programs listed above were designed, History of Dance: 20th Century was an upper level
course and was not included in the list of lower level history/critical courses. Now that the course is a
lower level course, it is quite appropriate for inclusion and it is not logical to include only one of two
lower level Dance history courses.

DEPARTMENT OF

FROM: (No existing entry)
TO: ?
Co-operative Education Program: The School of Criminology offers
a co-operative education program to
q
ualified students who wish to
acquire practical experience in criminology. The program entails planned
semesters of study and employment in the area of the student's choice.
To be eligible for admission to the Co-operative Education
S ?
Program, students must have completed 30 semester hours, including
CRIM 101, Ck<IM 120, CRIM 131, CRIM 135 plus one of PSYC 210, STAT 101 or
STAT 103, and have a CGPA not less than 2.75. Transfer students must
have completed at least 15 semester hours at Simon Fraser University.
For further details, students should refer to the Co-operative
Education section. Arrangements for work semesters are made through
the Faculty of Arts Co-op Co-ordinator, who should be consulted at
least one semester in advance.
RATIONALE:
. Over the pat years the School of Criminology and the Faculty of Arts
Co-operative Education program have been approached by students of
criminology wishing to participate in the co-operative education
program. The School of Criminology has always referred students to
our CRIM 462-15 (Field Practice) course, that provides qualified
students with one semester of practical experience, but not until
the student's third (or usually) fourth year of study at the
University. The School of Criminology feels that the Co-operative
Education component and our CRIM 462-15 course can co-exist, and we
are very willing to provide the co-operative education program as
it will be of significant benefit to our students.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
Lower Division Courses
I)
FROM: ?
The department's basic lower division courses are ENGL 101, 102, 103,
104, 204, 205, and 206. Credit or advanced standing in any two of ENGL 101,
102. 103. and 104, and any one of ENGL 204, 205, and 206 is prerequisite to
entry into upper division English courses.
TO: ?
The department's basic lower division courses are ENGL 101, 102, 103, 104,
199. 204, 205, and 206. Credit or advanced standing in any two of ENGL 101,
102, 103, 104, and 199, and in any one of ENGL. 204, 205, and 206 is
prerequisite to entry into upper division English courses.
RATIONALE:
Like ENGL 101, 102, 103, and 104, ENGL 199 is a genre-based course; it focuses on the
genre of academic discourse. Its level of difficulty and intellectual seriousness is
equivalent to that of ENGL 101, 102, 103, and 104. In view of these parallels and
equivalencies, ENGL 199's exclusion from the department's list of prerequisites and
major requirements is anomalous. The proposed change will correct this anomaly, and
moreover, demonstrate the department's commitment to the study of writing.
Consequently. ENGL 199, like all the other 100-level courses, may be used as a
prerequisite for subsequent English courses.
2)
FROM: ?
ENGL 101, 102, 103, 104, 212, and 214 have no prerequisites, they may
be taken in any order by any student. ENGL 204, 205, and 206 may not be taken
without previous credit or standing in two of ENGL 101, 102, 103, and 104.
ENGL 210, 221, 222, and 228 may not be taken without previous credit or
standing in two of ENGL 101, 102, 103, and 104, except with the permission of
the department.

cannot both be used to fulfil the requirements for the major in English.
RATIONALE:
ENGL 199 - added as per 1) above.
The prerequisites for ENGL 221, 222 and 228 have been waived for all students
on request. We are bringing the calendar into line with what has been standard
policy.
ENGL 199 and 210 are both composition courses. The department wishes to

therefore does not wish to have a concentration in any one area.

I R(.)M: A student with 18 transfer credits in English (not including ENG L 199)

major in English provided some of those credits are transferable as ENGL 101,
102, 103, or 104 and some as ENGL 204, or
205,
or 206.
TO: ?
A student who enters the University with 18 transfer credits in English will
be deemed to have met the departments lower division requirements for a major
in English provided some of those credits are transferable as ENGL 101, 102, 103,
104, or
1•99•
and some as ENGL 204, or 205, or 206. ENGL 199 and ENGL 210
cannot both be counted towards the 18 credits.
RATIONALES: It has always been required that the 18 transfer credits be obtained prior
to the students' entry to Simon Fraser. A phrase has been inserted to make this
clear.
ENGL 199 added as per 1) above. Since students taking their lower
division courses at SFU may not use both ENGL 199 and 2 10 toward lower
division requirements transfer students should not be allowed to do so either.

Proposal for a Certificate Program in Spatial Information Systems
A committee has been discussing the development of a certificate program in Spatial Information
Systems. Suggested requirements are listed on the next page. The rationale for the proposed program is
given below.
Three main considerations underlie this proposal.
The proposed program would be well received by our undergraduate students. A number of
students have expressed interest in the possibility of receiving formal recognition of completion of
the technical stream of courses offered in the department.
2.
We currently offer a rich selection of courses relevant to Spatial Information Systems. However,
an important gap is the lack of a course in spatial statistical analysis. Many of the operations in
•
?
GIS (e.g. surface modelling) and remote sensing (e.g. classification) require knowledge of
techniques such as trend surface analysis, spatial interpolation methods, principle components
anal
y
sis, cluster analysis and discriminant function analysis. These topics are not covered in the
present curriculum, nor are they offered in courses in other departments. Although GEOG 251 is
titled Methods in spatial analysis," it is reaUy taught as a basic statistics course with geographic
data examples, and does not currently address spatial statistics. Given that the course has no
mathematics or statistics prerequisites, it is unrealistic to try to offer spatial statistics in the current
GEOG 251.
3.
Given the evolving resource constraints within the university, a proposed program would only 'fly'
if it required minimal new courses and additional teaching resources.
The proposed program, described on the next page, could be handled with no additional faculty
involvement. The program requires creation of one course, GEOG 352-4 (Methods in spatial analysis II).
A proposed outline and new course proposal form are attached.
The only impact the proposed certificate program would have on the mainstream B.A. and B.Sc.
programs is the possibility of making GEOG 352 a prerequisite to GEOG 453. This would effectively limit
access to this course to those students willing to acquire a background in quantitative methods (i.e. an
introductory statistics course and the proposed GEOG 352). However, access to all of the current 300-
level courses and GEOG 452-4 (Advanced Issues in GIS) would be unchanged.

UPPER-LEVEL CREDIT CHANCE IN HISTORY
Ptoiosal: to raise the credit and contact hours for all third and fourth year history
courses front hit-ce to four, to change the vectors of these courses, and to
make the appropriate changes to History's major and minor
requirements.
Rationale:
I. EXCESSIVE COURSE DEMANDS:
The Histor y
Department has become aware that the demands placed upon its
upper-level students may be excessive. The External Reviewers who recently visited
the department examined a full range of recent History course offerings and pointed
out that the
y
believed that our upper-level demands were too heavy-- an opinion
thoroughly shared by their Internal host, Peter Kennedy of Economics. The
extensive survey of student opinion that we carried out in the autumn of 1993
(i.e., student-conducted interviews of all students in 400-level courses and
questionnaires from 800 students in first, second and third year courses) conveyed
the same complaint. History's undergraduate student representative has repeatedly
brought the same message to the Department: we simply assign too much reading
is
?
and writing in individual history courses, and that three credits fails to reflect the
amount of work that students put into our tipper-level courses. Students remind its
frequently (whether through their representative or in course evaluations) that very
few of them are prepared to undertake a load of fifteen credits per semester at the
upper levels.
2. AN ADDITIONAL CONTACT HOUR
After careful and lengthy debate, the History Department believes that this problem
can best be addressed by increasing the credit and contact hours of all its upper-
level three credit courses to four (excluding the Practicum courses-- 370, 375, 470,
and 475-- as well as the Honours courses-- 305, 495, 496, 498). Thus the courses as
preseifily taught will have increased contact hours through the addition of one
lecture hour or seminar hour, but there will not be a substantial increase in student
reading or in written assignments.
At the 300 level an extra hour of lecture will be added to the course. Obviously this
will mean a slight increase in student workload, but the extra time will be used by
instructors to explain more fully the context of the period or problem under review.
To this extent we are confident that the additional contact hour will assist students
in their study and analysis of historical materials and issues.
In the fourth-year courses the seminars will be extended to four hours. These will be
scheduled in two blocks of two hours or in one block of four hours.
5.4
3. IN KEEPING WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS
There are other departments within the Faculty of Arts such as Criminology,
English and Geography which already mount successful upper-level four credit
programmes. History's programme will be in keeping with the basic models laid
down by these departments. History's major and minor requirements will
essentially agree with their practise.
Programme Changes:
The proposed changes do not necessitate any change to Histor
y
's lower-level
requirements, but will lead to the following upper-level programme changes:
I.
MAJOR:
FROM:
Major students must obtain credit in at least 30 semester hours of 300 and
400 division work in History, including at least 9 hours in 300 division
work and at least 9 semester hours in 400 division work: and they must
select at least two courses from each
of
the following groups...
TO: ?
Major students must obtain credit in at least 32 semester hours of 300 and
400 division work in History, including at least 8 hours in 300 division
work and at least . semester hours in 400 division work: and they must
select at least two courses from each
of
the-following groups...
Rationale: This is not only in keeping with the major requirements
of
some other departments, but it will allow History to serve student enrolment
better on account that our majors will now require two rather than three 400
level courses. This will
tr
ansfer some
of
the enrolment pressure from the 400
to the 300 level, which is good thing on account that we can provide more
spaces at the 300 than at the 400 level. At the some time the fourth-year
seminar will remain a necessary step in a History major's education, and the

2. MINOR:
FROM:
?
Minor students are required to obtain credit in 300 and 400 division
work totaling at least 15 semester hours &edit, with at least three
semester hours in each level.
TO: ?
Minor students are required to obtain credit in 300 and 400 division
work totaling at
le
ast
16
semester hours credit, with at least four
semester hours in each level.
RATIONALE: This is comparable to the demands placed upon minor students in
departments such as Geography.

This course will examine changes in childhood, schooling, marriage, parenting, housing,
household work, family support for paid work and state regulation of the family from the
eighteenth to the twentieth century. The lectures and tutorials will consider families in
rural and urban settings, in manufacturing and resource based communities, from the
distinctive points of view of women, men and children in order to understand the politics
and structure of families, and the ways in which these relationships have changed and
been changed by the rise of capitalism, the growth of the modern regulatory state.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY
Renaissance Italy ?
HIST 402-4
RATIONALE:
The Department of History has long considered the areas of late medieval and early
modern history to be underrepresented in its curriculum. With only one advanced course
on this period, many important aspects of European history -- the rise of capitalism, the
humanist movement, religious reform, the technological and demographic change -- have
been dealt with mainly in lower division surveys. The appointment last year of Hilmar
Pabel, whose expertise is in northern humanism and the Reformation, and of Lawrin
Armstrong, who works on the social and intellectual history of Renaissance Italy, permits
us to remedy this situation. This course, dealing with the period between the Black Death
and the fall of the Florentine Republic in
1530,
will reflect current historiography by
emphasizing the social, economic and political context of artistic and intellectual
innovation.

Description
In the mid-1430s, the F1orentine'fiumanist Matteo Palmieri
thanked God "that it has been permitted to [rue] to be born in
this new age, so full of hope and promise, which already rejoices
in a greater array of nobly-gifted souls than the world has seen
in the thousand years that preceded jt." Palmieri's optimism
was echoed by successive generations'of scholars who agreed that
fifteenth-century Italy witnessed a rebirth of humane letters,
sensibility and art after a millennium of darkness and ignorance.
This account was given its classic modern statement over a
century ago by Jacob Burckhardt and still informs popular
conceptions of the Renaissance. But in this century social,
economic and political historians have drawn attention to
previously neglected aspects of the period and suggested
important revisions. The objective of, the course will be to
consider the cultural phenomena of the Renaissance against the
background of the social, economic and political realities of
renaissance Italy between 1350 and 1530.
Because of time limitations, the focus of the course will be
Tuscany and, in particular, Florence.. As the source of many
renaissance movements and as a community that experimented with
the whole spectrum of political arrangements from commune to
oligarchy and finally tyranny, Florence will serve to answer many
of our questions. This is a seminar course and students are
expected to lead discussions and frame questions suggested by
their reading of primary and secondary sources.

In the mid-1430s, the Florentine humanist Matteo Palmieri
thanked God "that it has been permitted to [me] to be born in
this new age, so full of hope and promise, which already rejoices
in a greater array of nobly-gifted souls than the world has seen

?
important revisions. The objective of the course will be to
consider the cultural phenomena of the Renaissance against the
background of the social, economic and political realities of
renaissance Italy between 1350 and 1530. From this perspective,
we shall ask whether the Renaissance was simply a continuation of
the Middle Ages, as many historians now maintain, or whether a
decisive break occurred in the late fourteenth century, as
historians of art insist. How (if at all) is our view of the
Renaissance modified by the consideration that it was marked by a
degree of depopulation, warfare, political instability and
economic recession unknown, for example, in the thirteenth
century? How widely diffused and influential was humanism? What,
indeed, was humanism and what was its function in the political
context of renaissance Italy? When did the Renaissance end, and
what were the causes of Italy's cultural and political decline in
the early sixteenth century?
Because of time limitations, the focus of the course will be
Tuscany and, in particular, Florence. As the source of many
renaissance movements and as a community that experimented with
the whole spectrum of political arrangements from commune to
oligarchy and finally tyranny, Florence will serve to answer many
of our questions. This is a seminar course and students are

Course Syllabus
AQ 6015
291-5814
This course attempts to do two things: show you some of the ways scholars in fields
other than history approach the relationship between law and society and to introduce you
to some of the themes in legal history. These two objectives are not unrelated. As you
will see, all of these scholars ask similar questions: what is law, how does it work and
what do the answers to these two questions reveal about the society in question?
You will notice that each week's material is prefaced by a series of questions. Think
about them: they are the queries and issues I bring to the discussion and they may also he
used to structure your reading -- but you will have your own questions. This is a seminar
course, so I expect students to participate actively. Rather than have one person lead the
seminar each week, we will all share the responsibility for generating discussion. To this
end, I want each of you to come up with a question about the readings for me and your
fellow classmates. It may be something as simple as i passage or an argument you don't
understand, or a criticism of the material. Though we rhay not get through all of them,
we will use them to guide our discussions. In addition to class participation,
y
ou will be
expected to do three pieces of written work. The mark breakdown is as follows:

The problems are listed below with some suggestions for change. Attached are excerpts

program is working well and that students are pleased with it. This is true despite a fairly
high attrition rate (4 out of 14 have dropped, but for reasons other than the quality of the
program.) They very much like the cohort experience, the courses, meeting people with
similar interests and having someone (the honors supervisor) to discuss problems with.
The breadth requirement at the upper levels is proving impossible to meet. Students are

department. We are, perhaps, expecting a little too much given that the university
requirement is simply 132 credit hours, 50 of which have to be in the HonsfMaj
discipline, and that most other departments require no more than that. (We currently
expect our students to complete a total of 72 upper division credit hours including the
honors courses). Indeed, our students feel that a little too much is expected of them.
They would like to be able to complete an honors degree in four years of hard work, or, at
most, in four years plus one semester. The latter is just possible with our present set up
but it should be made more so.
Suggestion: Given that, as a department, we are very stretched, we could help both the
students and ourselves by dropping the special topics course (496-4) in the second year of
the honors program. We would then simply require that they take the two methodology
courses (300/305-4 and
495-4)
in the fall/spring, progression and complete an honors
essay. A further reason for dropping the special topics seminar is that attrition will make
for small numbers in the second year of the program. We are likely to have only 8 or 9
students left from the first enrollment.

RATIONALE: ?
This proposal is modeled loosely on the 'concentrations' in
Business Administration
(p.
134 of the 1993-94 Calendar). A 'concentration' is an
official calendar term and is recorded on students' transcripts. The Business
Administration concentrations require from 5 to 7 courses. The concentration proposed
here will require 6 courses. It is flexible but its upper division requirements insure that
only committed students will complete.
Simon Fraser University's undergraduate curriculum in Middle Eastern and Islamic
history is one of the most comprehensive in Canada. Measured in terms of enrollments,,
Simon Fraser teaches more undergraduate students in this subject, than, any other
Canadian university with the possible exception of the University of Toronto. The
combined fall and spring headcount enrollments in Middle Eastern-Islamic history
courses during 1993-94 were 579.
r
[I
• ?
The adoption of this concentration should not require an increase in the frequency with
which Middle Eastern and Islamic history courses are offered. That is because the
courses listed in this proposal make up the regular teaching load of three full-time History
faculty. The normal combined annual course offerings of three full-time faculty members
total twelve (four offerings per faculty member). In the case of the three faculty
involved, all twelve offerings would be from courses specified in the Middle Eastern
Islamic concentration. Moreover, a fourth faculty member teaches History 251 every
other year, thus providing an additional offering to the twelve that already exist. Even
with sabbatical leaves and an occasional teaching load reduction, faculty depth in this
subject area is sufficient to insure that students will be able to complete the concentration.
(See attached table).
Despite the existence of a unique and well-enrolled curriculum and the presence of four
faculty members whose work is widely-known in the larger scholarly community, Middle
Eastern-Islamic history has no designated identity at SFU. In part this is due to the
reorganization of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies and the resultant elimination of
the Middle East minor. By establishing a concentration in Middle Eastern and Islamic
history, the university will provide recognition and identity to a regional and topical
specialization in which it offers a unique program nationally and in which it has a high
international profile.
The number of history majors who focus on Islam and the Middle East during their
undergraduate careers is not known for certain. An educated estimate suggests that
roughly 20 graduancls per year have completed the requirements of this proposed
concentration. We regularly receive requests from students to develop a mechanism by
• ?
which their focus on the Middle Eastern-Islamic courses in the departmental curriculum
can be noted on their transcripts. This proposed concentration is intended to achieve that
purpose; it will recognize the accomplishments of students who have devoted forty
percent of their upper division major requirements to the study of a particular area of
history in which Simon Fraser University possesses special strengths.
Costs:
As mentioned above and as shown in the attached table, the proposed concentration
utilizes existing courses and faculty and thus makes no new demands on library or CFL
resources. It should be flOtC(l in particular that the pool of full-time faculty members
associated with the concentration is of sufficient size as to enable an adequate number of
courses to be offered without recourse to sessional instructors. Nor will the concentration
incur much in the way of administrative costs. Harvey Nagel of the Registrar's Office has
assured the Department of History's representative that the task of recording
concentrations on diplomas is a simple computer-controlled operation.

LING 241-3 Languages of the World
A survey of the languages of the world. An exami-
nation of the linguistic structure of selected lan-
guages. (Lecture)
Prerequisites: LING 220
RATIONALE: The purpose of the course is to give students an exposure to various types of languages,
thereby illustrating the diversity of the languages of the world. Given today's complex
multicultural society, university students (especially those majoring in Linguistics) should
have some conception of the basic properties of the major languages of the world. Many
. of these languages are spoken around them daily in the Lower Mainland. This course pro-
vides students with the opportunity to learn about the core characteristics of these lan-
guages and also to explore some of their particularly interesting properties. After a brief
introduction to the classification and typology of the world's languages, the linguistic
structure of several of the world's major languages will be surveyed. These will vary
depending on the research interests of the faculty member teaching the course but will
typically include languages spoken in British Columbia, such as Chinese, Japanese, Hindi,
•
?
Punjabi, and First Nations languages.
With the move of LING 250 to the 300-level and the streaming of majors, minors, and hon-
ors students into electives at the 200-level only, this new offering will maintain flexibility
for students in rounding out lower-division programs. The subject matter has long been
seen as an area that needs to be addressed earlier in the curriculum; efforts to fold it into
core offerings (LING 221, 222) have been frustrated by already-full syllabi in those
courses. Feedback from LING 441, a more advanced and theoretical course in this area,
indicates that material of this kind is highly useful, and would be all the more valuable if
encountered earlier in the program. Its broad comparative approach makes it a suitable
option in the proposed Certificate in First Nations Language Proficiency, and a candidate
for inclusion in the TESL Certificate and Diploma when they are reviewed in the coming
year.

Description and Analysis of a First
Nations Language I
An intermediate course in the structure of a native
language of the Americas, including writing sys-
tems, texts, and examination of the general lin-
guistic properties of the language and the
language fainily in which it is situated. The course
will be based on a designated language to be
named each time it is taught, and will usually be
chosen from the Northwest Coast area.
(Tutorial)
Prerequisites: LING 232 or equivalent credit in the
same language.
RATIONALE: Successful offerings of LING 231 and 232, which are introductory courses in a language
native to the Americas, have brought calls from interested students for further courses to
be available in this area. As an interim solution, the department has used LING 431 and
432 (Language Structures I and II) to mount follow-on courses, although in level and
intent these courses should be more abstract and theoretical than is intended in the pro-
posed courses.
These courses form part of the proposed Certificate in First Nations Language Proficiency
(see
C. below). It should also be pointed out that the study of these languages is at present a
somewhat different enterprise than the study of well-documented languages such as
French or Japanese, for which commercial instructional materials are available. The lin-
guistic analyses and even the dictionaries available to support instructional materials for
these languages are themselves incomplete. Consequently, there is a consideration of
grammatical structure, phonetics, and vocabulary issues in these courses that is more
directly dependent on the ongoing linguistic analysis of the language than is customary in
more refined commercial offerings used in the familiar European and Asian languages.

C. New Program: Certificate in First Nations Language Proficiency
1.
Introduction
The department has been offering basic language instruction in the indigenous languages of the
Americas for several years now. Courses in several different languages have been mounted, all indigenous
to B. C, and mostly from the Salish family. While there will never be a mass market for instruction in these
languages, this work is culturally significant, and when a language can be offered in the area to which it is
indigenous, it can be of great local importance. Experience has shown that there are two basic interest
groups to which courses in these languages can appeal: First Nations people who want to gain a more
thorough knowledge of the language of their own heritage, and those who have professional goals in
mind, either teachers of the given language or linguists interested in acquiring knowledge of one or more
of the languages as part of their professional development.
2.
Rationale
With the proposed addition of LING 331 and 332 (see above), the department will be able to offer 12
credit hours of instruction in First Nations languages. Thisforms a suitable basis for a coherent set of
courses that could be used to certify proficiency in one of these languages. Indeed there is demand for such
a certificate; offerings through the Secwepemc Cultural and Education Society/SFU joint program in Kam-
loops have led to requests for such a certificate. In particular, the program would be useful for bands and
school districts in providing a course of study which practicing or prospective teachers of a given First
Nations language could complete to assure that they had the requisite general and language-particular
background to be teaching in schools and adult classes. In this function, the certificate will hopefully
become a useful instrument in the preservation and re-establishment of First Nations languages in B. C.
The language courses themselves form the bulk of the required course set for the certificate. LING 130
is required because it is a prerequisite for LING 231, the first language course. LING 220 is required
because it is a prerequisite to most of the courses in the elective option list, of which 3 must be taken. The
courses in the option list were selected because they provide the linguistic and cultural context for the lan-
guage of study (LING 241, 260, 430), provide background for language teaching (360, 361), or provide fur-
ther explorations in the language of study (431, 432). Since all of the language-specific courses are variable-
topic courses, the provision is made that
all
courses taken for a certificate must have the same language as
their focus.
3.
Proposed Calendar Entry
Certificate in First Nations Language Proficiency
This certificate program is intended for students who wish to acquire conversational and literacy
skills in a particular First Nations language for purposes of teaching this language in elementary or second-
ary schools or to enhance their knowledge of a First Nations hnguage for cultural reasons or professional
objectives.
The certificate consists of 27 credits hours of course work. At least 12 of these credit hours must be
earned by completing courses in the First Nations language itself.
The certificate program can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. Advanced placement through
course challenge to maximum of 9 credit hours is possible for individuals who are already fluent in their
language. Credit may be applied to a specific language and can be achieved by examination from an instruc-
tor in that language with the approval of the Department.

The purpose of this course is to give students an exposure to the structure of
various languages, thereby illustrating the diversity of the languages of the world. After a
brief introduction to classification and typology, the linguistic structure of several of the
world's major languages will be surveyed. Particular focus will be given to languages
spoken in British Columbia, including Chinese, Japanese, and First Nations languages. For
each language, properties of the phonological, morphological, and syntactic structure will be
discussed, as well as sociolinguistic factors regarding their use.
Required Text:

Course Requirements:
Students are responsible for reading the sketches of each language before class.
These provide an outline of the core properties of each language. The course lectures will
briefly review these properties and then concentrate on a particularly interesting facet of the
language under discussion. Weekly assignments. will consist of problems of analysis based
on data from the languages under study or closely related languages. For the final project,
each student will write a short sketch of a language based on a reference grammar (see the
attached list of suggested grammars) and a checklist of central phenomena.

calculating this grade

Lower Division Requirements
RATIONALE: The continuation and graduation requirement of a 2.0 CPA has been in force since the
inception of the program, and communicated to students through the advising process. In
order to make it more clearly known that this requirement makes it necessary to maintain
the minimum CPA separately in
each
of the academic areas that make up the program, not
just in the required courses
overall,
the insertion of an explicit notice to this effect is being
proposed. It is further being clarified that only such courses that are specified in the Cog-
nitive Science requirements from each department are taken into account for the calcula-
tion of the minimum CPA. In the past, It has been unclear to some students how the
minimum CPA is calculated; this addition is intended to point out this requirement in a
prominent place.

RATIONALE: Except for LING 130 (which is required), the 100-level Linguistics courses are neither pre-
requisites for more advanced courses nor essential for success in the degree programs.
They are structured rather as general interest courses for students outside the department
as well as within; LING 220 is seen as the entry-level general introduction to the field for
majors and minors. In order to provide a more solid background in the lower division by
channeling students to other 200-level offerings, the department proposes to leave the

RATIONALE: The external review of the department pointed out that many of our undergraduate
majors and minors are having difficulty efficiently fulfilling our 400—level requirements
due to (i) the relatively infrequent scheduling of courses at this level and (ii) the number of
prerequisite courses required for some of them. In contrast,
we
have many 300—level
courses on topics that would be of interest to majors.
Noting that many other departments in the faculty, including Political Science, Psychol-
ogy, and Sociology and Anthropology, do not distinguish 300 level from 400 level courses
in their upper division requirements, we seek to simplify our problems with scheduling
and vertical streaming by following suit.

RATIONALE:
The Philosophy Department would like to add a second selected topics course
at the 200-level. The Department is currently considering three new courses
at the 200-level. These are intended to be service courses for other
?
•
?
departments, but in order to test their viability we would like to offer them
under special topics numbers to adjust their content should it become feasible
to create a permanent place for them in the curriculum. The additional
?
• ?
special topics course will allow the Department to offer more than one such
course per semester at the 200-level. Specific courses are presently under
development by the Department but none will not be completed before the
Fall 94 Term. Therefore, specific course outlines and bibliographies are not
yet available. These courses will, however, be introductory in nature and
place little demand on the Library with virtually all assignments resting on
?

required course books. Examples of specific special topics courses are
appended for information.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Environmental ethics concerns the (would-be) moral relations that hold between
humans and the (rest of the) natural world. A
theory
of environmental ethics attempts
rationally to justify a system of moral principles which the theory claims ought to guide
human treatment of natural eco-systems and their wild communities. Such a theory
would have implications not only for our individual personal moralities but also for
public environmental policy.
This course will:
(1)
consider a broad sampling of environmental issues that are thought
to give rise to the need for an environmental ethics, issues like pollution,
land use planning, agricultural practices, alternative energy technologies,
preservation of endangered species, life styles, population control;
(2)
provide an introductory overview of ethics and of current
philosophical debate about the nature or even possibility of an
environmental ethic;
(3)
look in a more detailed way at one recently elaborated
environmental ethic.

SPECIAL TOPIC:
THEORIES OF MODERN ART
FALL
SEMESTER 1991
?
D.D. TODD
REQUIRED TEXT:
Theories of Modern Art,
ed. H.B. Chipp
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The 'Modern Art' of the title of this course is the art of painting; sculpture will receive scant, if
any, attention; music, dance, literature and drama are entirely, outside the scope of this course.
This will not be a course in the history of modern painting. It will be a course in the history of
theories about painting from Cezanne in the last century to around 1945. Obviously these are related
histories, but they are not the same history, Theories of
art
are concerned with a wide range of matters,
e.g., form and content in painting, politics and art, art and nature, representation and abstraction,
expression, symbolism, art and psychology, the autonomy.of art, the act of painting, and many other
matters. The ultimate interest in theories treating these subjects is, of course, in the light they shed both
upon the history of modern
art and many particular works of art.
We
are very far from having a sound ideological foundation to our understanding of modern art.
There are several reasons for this lacuna in our thought. Most of the important texts needed for our task
were originally published in such obscure publications that they have been extremely difficult to come
by, and many of these texts have not been translated, or have not been circulated extensively. Moreover,
even when available, important texts have not been taken seriously as significant theoretical documents
by many art historians and critics. All too frequently historians and Critics have simply quoted small
chunks and snippets out of context as illustrative material supporting their own theorizing. Only very
seldom have the important writings by the founders of modern art been accorded the serious close
reading and analysis which they deserve. The textbook for this course makes available for the first time,
in one place and in English, many of the most important documents required for a sound theoretical
understanding of modernism in painting, and also contain an excellent supplementary bibliography of
important secondary sources. It is the best and most authoritative anthology of such theoretical source
material to be published so far. We will read and analyze thse writings as extensively as possible in the
time available. No philosophical training is presupposed, s and no reasonably intelligent student should
find the work in this course beyond his grasp. Of necessiy most of the class time will be taken up by
lectures, but there will be some time available for discussion of the issues by students, and all students
will be expected to participate in such discussions.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
Three short papers (5-7 pp.), several in-class quizzes, and possibly a mid-term or a final exam.
Note: Philosophy 231 may be applied towards the Certificate in Liberal Arts.

DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
Pot. 315-4 Quantitative Methods in Political Science
(4
credit hours)
RATIONALE:
The current offering of but one course in quantitative techniques of political
analysis has proved to be. inadequate for many students who wish to pursue
such study in depth. Accordingly this new course will allow students to build
on their lower division introduction to quantitative methods and will enable
them to become much more effectively prepared for employment after
graduation with government agencies and departments or private sector
firms who require advanced social science skills. Because a sizeable
proportion of the literature in the field of Political Science is quantitatively
oriented our graduates will be much better equipped to pursue graduate
studies as well.
The provision of this course will be done in a way that is
complementary to
the offering of SA
355. POL 315 will be offered once a year in the semester
when the SA course is not. Under a cooperation agreement with the
Department of Sociology and Anthropology [see attached memorandum to
. ?
Prof. Andrea Lebowitz, Chair of FACC] Political Science students may choose
to take SA 355 for equivalent credit to POL 315. Similarly S&A students may
take POL 315 for credit equivalent to SA 355. The prerequisites for both
courses have been appropriately amended to facilitate such flexibility.
POL 315 will have a vector of 2/1/1--not the 2/1/0 that would be customary
for Political Science courses of its type. Such vectoring will permit students
from S&A to take it for credit without disrupting their programme.

Memorandum
TO: Prof. Andrea Lebowitz, Chair FACC
FROM: Professor Douglas A. Ross, Chair Undergraduate Studies Committee
and Prof. Michael Kenny, Chair Undergraduate Studies Committee, S&A
SUBJECT: Shared Methods Course between Political Science and S&A
DATE: 7 September 1994
Further to our memorandum to you of 12 July 1994 , the two departments have now agreed on the
following arrangenents for mounting SA 355 and the new POL 315 on a fully complementary
basis. SA355 is a required course for Sociology majors and Sociology/ Anthropology majors. POL
315 is not required for Political Science majors at this time. S&A would very much like to have
SA355 offered in all 3 semesters annually. Having POL 315 regularly available for the third
semester will improve flexibility and course access for S&A majors, just as the provision of
SA355 will assist Political Science students who wish to pursue quantitative analytical
methods.
1)
Each course will have equivalent prerequisites. For POL 315: STAT 103 (soon to be 203) and
POL 213, Research Methods in Political Science. For SA355: STAT 103 (soon to be 203) and
SA255, Introduction to Social Research. Each course will be taught in the same facility, the
new S&A/Poli Sci joint computing facility.
2)
POL 315 and SA355 are to be designated as equivalent courses. Credit for one will count as
credit for the other.
3)
To prevent prerequisite overlap/duplication problems, it will be specified in the calendar
that students with credit for SA 255 cannot take POL 213 for further credit, and vice versa.
SA255 and POL 315 are roughtly equivalent with respect to their political-sociological
analytical content but differ in that SA255 also has a qualitative component drawn from
anthropology.
4)
POL 315 will be offered once a year. It is agreed that SA355 will be offered twice
.
a year in
the two semesters when POL 315 if not offered. Departmental Assistants of the two
deparments (and if necessary the two Chairs) will coordinate the scheduling of the courses at
least one year in advance.
5)
After further consultation it has been agreed that POL 315 will be a four (4) credit hour
course, with a vector of 2/1/1. While Political Science courses normally would have a 2/1/0
vector, a fourth hour of additional tutorial work in the joint computer facility will be added to
POL 315 so that S&A students taking the course will not have their programmes disrupted by a
variation in credit hours. The two departments have agreed further that the most
quantitatively skilled graduate student in the two departments will be assigned to provide the
fourth hour when POL 315 is being offered. Costing of the provision of this TA will be
negotiated by the two departments in light of student eni-olments by disciplinary distribution.
The above arrangements provide an efficient and equitable solution to the overlap issue that
will fully utilize existing faculty resources and improve course access for students in both
departments.

As a course exclusively devoted to development of quantitative
analytical skills, with no research essay requirement, PS 315.-has
only one book on its bibliography:
William Fox, Social Statistics Using Microcase (Bellevue, WA:
Microcase Social Sciences
Software,
1993)
This text comes with an interactive software disc program, two large
data sets, and a lab workbook with data analysis exercises. Other
data for assignments, exams, etc., will be supplied by the instructor.
There are consequently no library requirements for this
course.
Social Statistics Using MicroCase
by William
Fox,
Skidmore College
This is the first
complete
package for introductory social statistics.
It emphasizes both the fundamental principles that underlie social statistics and the
practical applications of statistics to real data. This package includes: (1) a complete
hardcover statistics textbook, (2) a tab workbook with data analysis exercises and
discussion questions, (3) a student version of the MicroCase Analysis System, and
(4) two large data sets (SURVEY with 1,372 cases and 103 variables from the 1990
General Social Survey, and STATES based on the 50 states with 103 variables).
The software requires an IBM compatible computer with 512K RAM, graphics capacity,
and one 3.5 inch or two 5.25 inch floppy drives. The
wholesale
price for the complete
package is S38--actual retail price varies. (ISBN 0-922914-10-9)

New Lower Division Calendar Requirement for POL 201-3 [formerly POL 213-
31 or STAT 103-3 or its equivalent
FROM (p. 122 of the calendar):
Major Program
Students are required to complete 30 semester hours of upper division
Political Science courses, including courses from at least three of the five
fields."
TO:
Major Program
Students are required to complete 30 semester hours of upper division
Political Science courses, including courses from at least three of the five
fields to finish their program. At the lower division level, students must
complete POL 100-3, one of POL 201-3 or STAT 103-3 or its equivalent, and 15
hours of course work distributed in 4 of 5 fields.
To be approved as an honours student, a major, double major, or
extended minor in Political Science, all students seeking admission to such
programs must first successfully complete POL 100-3 (Introduction to Politics
and Government), and either POL 201-3 (Research Methods in Political
Science) or STAT 103-3 (Introduction to Statistics for the Social Sciences)
before any such status can be confirmed. Students in Joint Major programs
are encouraged but not required to meet this quantitative methods
requirement.
Students may claim a Field A credit if they complete both POL 201-3
and STAT 103-3, but students should note that only POL 210 (Introduction to
Political Philosophy), or its equivalent, serves as
'a prerequisite for upper
division courses in the Political Philosophy stream within Field A. For those
students electing to do both courses, it is recommended that POL 201-3
should be completed prior to undertaking STAT 103-3."
[Note that STAT 103-3, "Introduction to Statistics for the Social Sciences", is in
the process of being renumbered to STAT
203r3
,"Introduction to Statistics for
the Social Sciences".]
[Note also that POL 210-3 is being renamed as part of this present package of
alterations. See part E.]
RATIONALE:
Many of our graduates are disadvantaged by a lack of
quantitative analytical training in the social sciences. The addition of
compulsory training in quantitative analytical
,
techniques will strengthen our
graduates' marketability after graduation with regard to both public and
private sector employment and will prepare them more thoroughly for
graduate work should they choose to pursue further academic training.

What is proposed is not
SO
much a new course as a change, in level,
vector, name and description of an already edsting course (SA331 --
Sociology of' the l'amily) which will he deleted accordingly.
The change of level is to he made because of demand, to enhance
departmental enrollment at the lower levels, and to bring the S&A
offering in line with the practice in other Canadian colleges and
universities, which generally offer a 'family'
' course in the second-
year. The proposed change will simplify transfer credit allocation.
The change of name and description reflects the actual content of the
course: it is recognized that, so Far as domestic arrangements are
concerned, there is no longer just "the family," but many kinds of
families. "Domestic life" is therefore a more neutral and accurate term.
Though the course is listed as 'lecture/Tutorial' there are likel' to he
limes when, with the approval of FACC and the Dean of Arts, it will he
offered as a lecture course only. If enrollments prove to he high in a
given semester 'lAship allocation may not he sufficient to support a
non-required course of this nature, in which case assistance will he
sought in the form of a Tutor-Marker.

RATIONALE:
Anthropology has increasingly shifted its attention from traditional
ethnographic settings to examine the use of the 'culture' concept in political
discourse in the contemporary world: for example, in the claims of Canadian
native peoples, and in the resurgence of ethnonationalism more generally.
This course allows For a detailed look at the burgeoning literature on the
subject. The course number indicates conceptual continuity with SA20I

DEPARTMENT OF SPANISH AND LATIN AMERICAN STUDIES
SPAN 202-3 Intermediate Spanish II
RATIONALE:
The creation of Span 202 is part of an overall effort to restructure the Spanish Language
component of our department. Compared to Spanish programs offered at other post
secondary institutions, ours lacks one second year course. The addition of another
intermediate course will result in sufficient preparation for students proceeding to third
year Spanish courses or second year linguistics and literature courses taught in Spanish.
Spanish 202 will help strengthen the basic structures learned in Span 102, Span 103 and
Span 201 and will ensure that the students develop the necessary competence for the
accurate use of the Spanish language. The additional of SPAN 202 will allow more time
to cover the material, which will now be spread out Over 4 courses instead of 3. The
fourth course will extend the breadth and range of in-class activities, allowing further
acquisition of skills in reading and writing, as well as the overall oral proficiency of the
students.

RATIONALE:
This course would make the Spanish Honors program complete in that an Honors Essay
course would be required as part of the
50
upper division credit hours. Students would
gain the opportunity to do major research in an area of their choice (in consultation with a
supervisor). Most departments include an Honors Essay course as part of their
requirements. This course, therefore, would follow current practices in the Faculty of

126 of 93/94 calendar
Challenge Credit
Up to 11 semester hours of lower division Spanish courses may be challenged for
credit. These courses include only Span 1024, 103-4, and 201-3. Students wishing to
challenge any of these courses must obtain a grade of at least C in any following courses
taught in Spanish.
TO: Up to 12 semester hours of lower division Spanish courses may be challenged for
credit. These courses include only Span 102 -3, 103-3, 201-3, and 202-3.
Students
wishing to challenge any or all of these courses must register in the courses to be
challenged and any following 300 or 400 division courses taught in Spanish. A grade
of at least a C in the 300 or 400 division course must be obtained to receive the
challenge credit.
RATIONALE: ?
The increase to 12 semester hours is a reflection of the proposal to
add another 2nd year Spanish course which would also be challengable and the change in
credit hours to Span 102 and 103 giving a total of 12 lower division language credit
hours.
The addition of "300 or 400 division" is to ensure that students are challenging
courses by completing an upper level course thus exhibiting their competence in the
language rather that completing, for example, Span 240 Introduction to Hispanic
Literature which will have Span 202 as a prerequisite but is still an introductory course
focusing on analysis of literature.

(first sentence is fine)
(second sentence) In addition to the requirements for the major program as shown
above, students must also obtain 50 semester hours of upper division and will be expected
to acquire a proficiency (ie. the equivalent of two semesters) in an additional language
other than English.
TO: Students must complete the lower division requirements as listed above for the
Spanish Major program and obtain 50 upper division semester hours including SPAN 349-3,
SPAN
350-3,
(Basic Texts in Hispanic Literature 1 and H) and SPAN 465-6.(Honors Essay).
Students will be also be expected to acquire a proficiency (ie. the equivalent of two
semesters) in an additional language other than English.
RATIONALE: The way the Honors Prosgram is entered now it seems that a student is to
complete 50 semester hours of upper division credit in addition to the upper division
Major requirements. The
50
semester hours includes the upper division Major
requirements. The alteration is really a clarification of requirements and the addition of
the Honors Essay course as a requirement.

Language Course Placement
Students with knowledge of the Spanish language should take a short test in order
to be placed in a language course best suited to their abilities in Spanish. The test is also
used to advise students of the possibility of obtaining advance placement or challenge
credit. Please note that students will not usually be able to take courses below the level in
which they have been placed. Native speakers of Spanish or students who received their
secondary eduation entirely within a Spanish-speaking community will not normally be
admitted to a 100 or 200 level Spanish language course.
Consult the Course Timetable and Registration Instructions tabloid for the
placement test schedule for the upcoming semester.
(This text should be entered after "Challenge Credit" in the calendar.)
RATIONALE: We have had this language course placement test in our department for
approximately 3 years but have never included the information in the calendar.

Proposal for Major in
Women's Studies
I enclose a copy of a proposal for a Major in Women's Studies in the form of a complete calendar
entr y
for Women's Studies with the proposed addition of a Major (and for the related option of an
Extended Minor) in bold type.
In reviewing the calendar entry of Joint Major options, as well as the Minor, Certificate and PBD
options, you can see the addition of a Major is both a logical and a feasible next step for the
Department. Since 1991-3, Women's Studies has had a Joint Major with English; since 1992-3, we
have had a Joint Major with Psychology. Twenty-nine students are enrolled in the Joint Majors.
We feel that this experience has prepared us for a Major in Women's Studies.
Over the past two years. the D.A.'s in Women's Studies have recorded forty-three requests for a
Major (time pressures precluded recording all requests). Most came from students enrolled in the
Minor (presently 76 students); a few came from Joint Majors. At the last meeting of the
Coordinating Committee for Women's Studies, where we completed our discussions of a Major,
twelve undergraduates attended to show their support for the proposal and to assist in our
deliberations. They were enthusiastic. Accordingly, we feel that there is both sufficient interest in a
Major and a clear indication that the Major will not increase our enrollments beyond our capacity
to offer courseS.
I am confident that we will be able to offer the Major with the present faculty component. We have
tracked our course offerings over the past four years and projected our future offerings by regular
facult y
or their replacements for the next four years. To expand the range of courses, we have
permanently designated courses with a significant component of the course material on women in
other departments: Criminology 333-3 (Women, Law and the State), History 310-3 (Women and
the Family in Modern Europe), Political Science 416-3 (Feminist Social and Political thought),
Sociology and Anthropology 331-4 (Sociology of the Family), and Sociology and Anthropology
335-4 (Gender Relations and Social Power).
In addition to the above, there is another group of courses frequently designated for Women's
Studies credit. Since 1992-3, seventeen other courses in six other departments (Communication
42 I, Criminology 416. Criminology 418, Education 472, English 314, English 328, English 334,
Fnt!Iish 340, English 348. English 349, English 360, English 361, English 374, English 376,
History 411. History 485. and Latin American Studies 323) have received Women's Studies
designated credit. We assume that these courses will continue to be designated. We are also
exploring designating appropriate courses in Contemporary Arts.
We are confident that we can provide enough courses at appropriate levels to allow a regular
student to graduate with a Major in four years. Student representatives assisted in these
calculations.
?
0
In conclusion, we have proposed a Major that draws upon a basic group of interdisciplinary
Women's Studies courses complimented by a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary
options. To ensure this combination of depth and breadth we have included "breadth" requirements
in
each
of the three streams.. Science and Technology, Social Sciences and Humanities and Fine
Arts.. in Women's Studies.

March 4, 1994
Topic: ?
Joint Major Criminology/Psychology
Further to your February 16, 1994 memorandum, please find enclosed a revised
calendar description of the proposed joint major that includes information about
continuing GPA.
To address the general issue of the different G.P.A. requirements between Psychology
and the proposed joint major, we would like to note that the higher G.P.A. for the joint
major is necessary as a result of the higher G.P.A. for the School of Criminology. To
make the admission and continuance G.P.A. of the joint major lower than that required in
Criminology would not be feasible. Indeed, if this were the case, students could enter
• ?
the joint major as a method of becoming a Criminology major without meeting the
requirements of that department. Therefore, joint major students must meet the
admission and continuance G.P.A. requirements for Criminology. Should their G.P.A. fall
below 2.25, they will be permitted to adopt a Major in Psychology as long as their G.P.A.
is at least 2.00.

Proposed Joint Major in Psychology/Criminology
RATIONALE:
The proposal for a joint major program emerges primarily from two factors:
1)
Increasing student interest in such a program. The two respective
undergraduate program committees were in fact surprised that the joint
major was not already in existence. This past year there have been a
number of student inquiries about such an arrangement.
2)
Increasing connections between Psychology and Criminology. With the
development of the Mental Health, Law and Policy Institute in
Psychology; with the cross-appointments of two associates; Ray Corrado
in Psychology and James Ogloff in Criminology; with the assumption of
the Chair in Psychology by Christopher Webster also appointed as an
Associate in Criminology with strong research interests in the area, the
time is right to further strengthen our connections in this manner.
Many research and teaching emphases between the two departments are
complimentary and some exchange teaching has already taken place, and, as
well, several research projects have joint participation from faculty in
Criminology and Psychology.
No new resources are required for the monitoring of this program
which
encourages collaboration and satisfies student interest.

School of Criminology
The joint major in Criminology and Psychology is an interdepartmental joint major designed for students
who are interested in exploring various relationships between the study of criminology and psychology.
Students are encouraged to consult advisors in both the Department of Psychology and the School of
Criminology.
To be admitted to the joint major, students must satisfy the admission requirements for majors in both
Criminology and Psychology (refer to those sections of the Calendar). Students continuing in the joint major
must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.25, and will not be permitted to register in upper division
Criminology courses until their cumulative grade point average is restored to 2.25. If a student's cumulative
grade point average falls below 2.25 will be permitted to adopt a Major in Psychology as long as his or her
G.P.A. is 2.0.

NEW PROGRAM PROPOSAL GENERAL RATIONALE
Proposal:
To establish joint major programs with:
English and Humanities
History and Humanities
Philosophy and Humanities
Rationale:
Increase in student demand for Humanities courses:
The Humanities Program has shown steady growth, as indicated by the
following statistics:
Year
?
Number of Courses Offered Enrolment
19891988
??
1012
??
142
174
1990
1991 ??
1518 ??
276
190
19921993 ??
2220
??
495
304
We expect the popularity of the program to continue to grow, and we
should offer students the maximum flexibility in using our courses.
2.
Increase in Humanities course offerings and programs:
We now have a coherent program of 26 course offerings in the calendar.
We give a minor and a post baccalaureate diploma; next fall (1994) we
will also be offering an extended minor. We can offer students joint major
programs comparable to those already being offered by other
departments, e.g., Women's Studies/English, Women's
Studies/Psychology, French/English.
The introduction of joint major programs would not require the addition of
any courses to the current Humanities offerings at this time.
3.
The existing close relationship between Humanities and English, History, and
Philosophy:
(a) The Humanities program promotes interdisciplinary approaches to English,
History and Philosophy which complement and enrich the course offerings of
those departments. The majority of Humanities minor students currently are or
have been enrolled as majors in these departments, including all of the Bach
Scholarship winners.
?
0
(b) The Humanities program already uses faculty from all three of these areas to
teach its courses: two faculty have joint appointments with History and
Humanities and one has a joint appointment with English and Humanities. A
member of the Philosophy department has been on the Steering Committee
since the program's inception, and has taught Humanities courses; a second
member of Philosophy taught HUM 320 in 94-1.
The current program co-ordinator belongs to the English Department; the
previous one came from History. The close and ongoing relationships between
Humanities and English, History and Philosophy make joint majors with these
departments a logical development.
4.
Benefits to students of the proposed programs:
A joint major with Humanities would provide students with an undergraduate
degree which could enhance their access to M.A. programs of an
interdisciplinary nature. In addition, the creation of joint majors with Humanities
would provide increased options for PDP (Education) students since Humanities
is a teachable area. Finally, although the university has no departments of
Classics or Religious Studies, many undergraduates are interested in taking the
courses in these areas offered by the Humanities Program. The proposed joint
• ?
majors would allow them to structure their degree programs coherently in terms
of these interests.
5.
Proposed programs can use existing resources:
The introduction of these joint major programs will not require any additional
resources, but can be accommodated using existing courses and faculty.
In addition, since the Humanities requirements will be the same for all three
proposed joint majors programs, no one Humanities course or group of courses
will need to be given more often. The current course rotation and frequency will
be sufficient.
