CRIM 462-15 COURSE DESCRIPTION
CURRENT: CRIM 462-15 Field Practice
Supervised three month field practicum in selected
criminal justice agencies. Students are required
to complete a series of reports addressing
theoretical and practical issues relating to their
placement as well as to attend regular feedback
seminar discussions with faculty supervisors and
other field practicum students.
Prerequisite: Prior approval of the school and a
minimum CGPA of 2.5 is required. Applicants must
be formal Criminology majors or honors students,
and must be registered in or have completed CRIM
320 and CRIM 369.
?
A minimum grade of B in CRIM ?
369-4 is required.

?
A minimum grade of B- in CRIM
?
369-4 is required."
RATIONALE: The requirement of at least a "B" standing in
CRIM 369 is inconsistent with other requirements
of the Criminology Undergraduate Program; for
example, a CGPA of 2.25 is required for those
applying for admission to Major/Minor/Honors in
Criminology. The original requirement was that
Field Practice students should receive a grade, in
the "B" range (B-, B or B+), rather than B 'or
• higher. We therefore request that this anomaly in
?
the calendar description be accepted as amended.

RE: CALENDAR CHANGES 89/90
S
The School of Criminology's Undergraduate Curriculum
Committee has approved three modifications to the
current Calendar descriptions These modifications are set
out below. Could you arrange for these proposed changes to
go before F.A.C.C.?
Thank you.

1. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: HONORS/MAJOR IN CRIMINOLOGY
CURRENT: Refer to the list (p. 76) of 11 courses in
Psychology that may be applied in partial fulfillment of the
program requirements under Group B, Upper Division.
PROPOSED: To add PSYC 357-3 (Psychology of Adulthood and
Aging) to the current list of courses in Group B, Upper
Division.. ?
-
The Calendar Description for PSYC 357-3 is as follows: -.
Considers human development from young adulthood to old age.
Included are theories of adult development and aging;
environmental and biological factors in aging; and the
effects of aging on sensation, perception, cognition,
personality, psychopathology, and social relations.
(Lecture/Laboratory)
Prerequisite: PSYC 101.
RATIONALE: PSYC 351-3 (Child Psychology) and PSYC 355-3
(Psychology of Adolescence and Youth) are already "Upper
Divison Group B" options for Majors/Honors in Criminology.
We continually receive requests from our students for
i
?
.
special permission to take PSYC 357-3. The course s
certainly relevant for our students, and we would like to
include it as an option for them.
2.
CALENDAR CHANGE 89/90: NOTATION FOR CRIM 369-4
CURRENT: CRIM 369-4 (Professional Ethics and Interpersonal
Skills in Criminal Justice) is currently marked with a
double asterix (**), with the corresponding note indicating
that CRIM 369-4 is a prerequisite for CRIM 462-15 (Field
Practice).
PROPOSED: To mark CRIM 369-4 with something other than an
asterix, or to add to the
"**Note"
the following
clarification: "Neither CRIM 369-4 nor CRIM 462-15 are
required for graduation with a Major/Honors in Criminology".
RATIONALE: This point was brought to the attention of the
School's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee by the student
representative. Many of our students appear to be uncertain
if CRIM 369-4 is reauired for a Major/Honors in Criminology.
It is not a required course, and it would be helpful if this
was indicated explicitly in the Calendar Description.
3.
CALENDAR CHANGE 89/90: ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN
CRIMINOLOGY
CURRENT: The Note for Program Requirements (p. 78) is:
"Students who have not previously completed a criminology
certificate or diploma are
required
to take CRIM 101 and
CRIM 131".
PROPOSED: Note: "Students who have not completed a
criminology certificate or diploma are
required
to take CRIM
101 and CRIM 131, and obtain a mimimum grade of C- in each."
RATIONALE: This amendment would achieve a measure of
uniformity and preparedness for students taking our courses.
The C- requirement was established for Criminology Minors
and Certificate students in Criminology. Unfortunately, this
earlier amendment neglected to mention the Advanced
Certificate in Criminology students.
