: CMPT Curriculum Change 

From: R.D. Cameron, 

Director of the 

Undergraduate Program, 

Computing Science 

Date: 'February:ll, 1985 

The Department of Computing Science has approved a change to 

CMPT 001 (Computers and the Activity of People), namely that it 

become a pass/fail course. The ratiorjale for this change is that 

CMPT 001, as a computer literacy course, is not a course intended 

to develop in students a mastery of s4ecific academic material, 

but rather is intended to provide them with a general exposure to 

computers, their uses and their impac1 on society. Given the 

breadth of the course and also the fact that the course is 

intended for students from a wide variety of backgrounds, it is 

impractical ? 

to use a competitive evaluation scheme for 

• determining credit in the course. 

The Department is also requesting that it be allowed to 

implement this change starting with the 85-2 semester.
