C. Changes to Degree Requirements
The Section under "De
g ree Re q
uirements" used to read:
Degree Requirements
Seventy-five (7$) credit hours are prescribed for the program, fitly (50) of
which are from the required group and twenty-five (25) are from the electives.
With the approval of the program director, up to seven courses (35 credit
hours) may be transfer credits from another institution.
Prerequisite Courses
All students must be familiar with the material covered in an undergraduate
course in Parametric and Nonparametric Statistics.
A fieid camp is held each September for new MRM students during the week
before classes begin. This provides an opportunity for students and faculty to
get acquainted and a first-hand introduction to a variety of management
conflicts and problems in British Columbia.
Required Courses
MRM 601-5 Natural Resources Management i: Theory and Practice
602-5 Natural Resources Management II: Advanced Seminar
611-5 Applied Population and Community Ecology
621-5 Economics of Natural Resources
631-5 Applied Geomorphology and Hydrology
641-5 Law and Resources
642-5 Regional Planning I
699-10 Research Project
And at least one of
MRM 612-5 Management Models of Biological Resources
651-5 'Project Evaluation,
STAT 650-5 Quantitative Analysis in Resource Management and
Field Biology
Elective Courses**
Students normally select 25 credit hours (usually 5 courses) to strengthen an
area of expertise. A series of possible electives are shown below under each
of the five areas of specialization currently offered by the Natural Resources
Management program. However any combination of elective courses may be
taken.
It should now read:

Students normally select 30 credit hours (usually 6 courses)
to strengthen an area of expertise. A series of possible
S ?
electives are shown below under each of the five areas of
specialization currently offered by the Natural Resources
Management program. However any combination of elective courses
may be taken.
Note to the t
y
pesetter: the rest will read the same as in the current
calendar.
Justification:
Total credit hours for the M.R.M. degree have been Increased from
75 to 78 to take into account the addition of the 3-unit Field Resource
Management Workshop, which has been changed from an informal to a formal
course. This will permit students to get credit for the workshop on
their transcripts. Of that total of 78 credit hours, 48 will be from
required courses and 30 from elective courses. Because of the
increasing use of quantitative methods in several M.R.M. courses, we
have dropped the requirement that students take at least one of the
quantitative courses: MRM 612, MRM 651, or STAT 650. Instead, students
will be given one more elective course than at present (30 credit hours
instead of 25).

NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
MRM 655?
WATER PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
Instructor: Chad Day, Room 9215 CC
?
291-4659
Objectives
The goals of the course are to review and evaluate a variety of water
planning and management issues:
1.
Selected theoretical models;
2.
Selected federal, provincial, and international institutional arrangements
jurisdictional responsibilities, and management experiences;
3.
Emerging international, national, and provincial water resource problems
and management opportunities; and
4.
Topics suitable for the MRM 699 research reports.
After completing the course, participants should have an understanding of
existing and emerging water management issues, the nature of the water
manager's tasks, knowledge of a variety of techniques and approaches for
gathering management-related data, and how to use them in the process of water
planning and management.
Teachin g
Methods
The course will be presented using a combination of lectures, invited
speakers, seminars, student presentations, and field trips.
Assignments
and Grading
Course participants will be expected to:
1.
Participate in class discussions and field trips.
2.
Critically review and evaluate two topics related to the course in 500-
word, double-spaced papers. You may choose topics of interest but the
number of presentations on individual topics will be limited to ensure
that there is no duplication. Feel free to work together in groups if
such an approach is useful in analyzing complex questions.
3.
Prepare and present a 10 to 15-page paper focussing on some aspect of the
theory, methodology, or practice related to the course. This paper may be
a component of a research proposal for a scholarship, fellowship, or a 699
research paper.
.
MRM 655 ?
PAGE 2
Make sure your topics for sections 2 and 3 are approved by the instructor
. ?
before beginning the assignment. The two short papers should be submitted
within one-week of the class presentation; the final paper Is due on the date
it is presented.
Presentation Style
The following manuals are recommended for guidance on matters of general
format and bibliographic style. Unless other arrangements are made with the
instructor, the format presented by Turabian should be used to prepare the
three reports for the course.
Turabian, Kate L. 198-. A Manual for Writers of Term Pa
p
ers Theses and
Dissertations. 5th ed. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press (available
from University Bookstore).
The University of Chicago Press. 1979. A Manual of St
y le. 12th ed. Chicago,
IL: The University of Chicago Press.
Turabian's referencing system may be shortened to a scientific format by
switching the date in bibliographic entries to follow the author's name (see
above). This eliminates footnotes by integrating references into the text in
the sequence author, year, and page as follows: (Turabian 1973:17) or
(Canada, Energy, Mines and Resources 1988:91).
Course Grade
The final grade will be made up of the following components:
1.
Class participation and field trip
?
35
2. Critical reviews (2 x 15)
?
30
3. Final paper ?
35
To ensure fair comparisons among students, and to be consistent with
university policy, deferred grades are given onl
y under extreme and
exceptional circumstances such as illness or death in the family. A heavy
workload is not a sufficient justification for a deferred grade. There are no
exceptions to this policy. Students should schedule the writing of papers to
spread the workload more evenly throughout a semester.
Texts
There is no single volume that covers the material of interest to this
course. Readings will be distributed during the semester.
COURSE CONTENT
This course will be presented in the form of a number of modules. In some
cases, readings will be thoroughly discussed in class; in others the
distributed materials will constitute background reading for your individual

use.

indicates that a substantial collection of materials is currently

sound management techniques for its future growth. This is particularly the case in British
Columbia where the industry is largely dependent upon effective natural resource management
programs. This course is designed to broaden and deepen the capabilities of natural resource
managers when dealing with the planning and management of natural resources in a tourism
context.

Background in Support of Natural Resources Management's Creation of Two
New Graduate Courses: Practicum I and II.
The Natural Resources Management Program is an interdisciplinary
graduate prOgram that leads to a professional masters degree in resource
management (MRM degree). Given the professional Orientation of the MRM
program, considerable emphasis is placed on professional experience and
applied problem solving.
To strengthen the applied professional training in MRM, it is
proposed that two new courses be created entitled Practicum I and
Practicum II. These courses would be o
p
tional non-credit courses
consisting of short-term professional employment in a relevant resource
management agency. To date, a number of agencies have approached MRM
wishing to hire graduate students on a one-semester basis as part of a
cooperative program. Such an arrangement would provide valuable
professional experience and funding for MRM graduate students.
Specifically, ?
Practicum I
and II would
be structured as follows:
1)
Enrollment in Practicum I
and/or II
?
is
optional.
2)
To be eligible for Practicum
I, ?
the student
would
have to have
completed at least one semester in the
MRM program
and receive the
written permission of MRM's
Co-op Coordinator.
3)
Students should apply for
enrollment at
least one
semester in
advance.
?
Practicum I is a
prerequisite
for taking
Practicum II.
4)
Practicum I and II each requires successful completion of not less
than 4 months of paid work related to natural resource management
in a relevant public or private agency or company. The
eligibility of the proposed position will be decided by the Co-op
coordinator based on a description of the position provided by the
cooperating agency or company.
5)
Practicum I and II will each be graded on a
satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis by the Co-op Coordinator. The
grade will be based on a written or oral report by the student's
work supervisor (or the department's Co-op Coordinator) assessing
the student's work performance and a written report by the student
outlining research undertaken and experience gained during the
term.
6)
The successful completion of each practicum course will be duly
recorded on the student's transcript, and the student will receive
a Co-op Program certificate.
