Course Proposal 

DESCRIPTION: This course will Introduce graduate studens in Education to the 

basics of computing science. Emphasis will be placed on the use of micro- 

computers. Topics will be prograniTling micro-computers; ne handling; micro- 

computer hardware; word processing; graphics; social, economic and legal 

implications. 

PREREQUISITES: Graduate status in Education. If the student has an adequate 

background In computing, this course must be replaced Ly other Computing Science 

undergraduate or graduate courses.

Course Proposal 

DESCRIPTION: This course introduces some formal topics In Computing Science 

to the graduate student in Education. Topics Include discrete mathematical 

. ?

structures; models of computing; data structures; fcrma languages and algorithms. 

Also, methods will be introduced for the design and irnolementatiOn of large 

programs using structured modular design. 

PREREQUISITES: CMPT 601-5 or 

ee.nconiwt 

of instructor(s). 

.

.

For CMPT 601-5 and 602-5 

Competence of the Faculty member to give this cours': 

1 h courses are, in their content, on the level of undergraduate courses 

in Computing Science. Therefore many faculty mcmbtrs and sessional lecturers 

in the Department are qualified to teach these coerses. 

Library resourses: 

The courses require the same library resources as undergraduate courses 

in Computing Science. Since the size of the courvey is relatively small 

comjrd to the undergraduate courses, additional liriry resources are 

not necessary.

Fall-back Position for CMPT 601 and ClIPT 602 

?

November 

1981

In case the proposed Budgetary and Space Requirements cannot be fulfilled 

by the University, the Graduate Studies Committees of the Computing Science 

Department and the Education Faculty have agreed to tie following points: 

1.

The Faculty of Education will make available funds for a Sessional 

Lecturer (overload faculty member) to be appointed in cooperation with 

the Department of Computing Science to staff the courses, whenever offered. 

2.

The Faculty of Education will make available tic necessary equipment 

and lab facilities. 

3.

The Faculty of Education will make available lab instructor's time as 

needed. 

It should be pointed out that in the eyes of both Committees, this fall-back 

poition is only second to the supply of the proposed budgetary and space 

rcquircnents. But in view that the Faculty of Education needs these courses 

for its new M.Ed. program with computer emphasis ard the Department of 

C.nputing Scienco Is incapable of delivering the coi.ses with its present 

rcSirc.es, we present this compromise.

I am surprised to see that the above courses lot stranded in

SCAR.

Perhaps the comments below will help matters to get ,underway

The phraseology "recently introduced ¶pec:j a! i :

af.i

on in the

II. Ed. Froqram" is unfortunate and indeed perceived correctly by

SCAR as worthy of attention. The 

f

acts are 

innocent. One of the,

Senate

Approved, specializations in the liaster : program in our

Faculty is the çducat :i onai

program framework.

"Computers in Education

is one of

these

curricular emphases

approved by the Faculty. (incidentally, Senate

approved the one Education course necessary for this

emphasis:Edu: 851 ,Computer Based Learning.)

The 1/2 Jab instructor is only needed for the semester the 601 Or

602 is offered.

The courses will be offered f:Lrst. in Fall 82 (601) and Fall 83

1 consent: consent replaces consensus

The CMFT people better answer the quet. ion about relationships

between their underqrad and t.h::L? courses. Frc..m our perspective

Li,ej r undergraduate courses do not fulfill our c.ucients' needs.

New Course Proposals 

Subject..c'

...9..6Q2..     

.......... 

Date

.. ..April. 

The Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules decided to refer back to 

the Senate Graduate Studies Committee the new course proposals CNPT 601-5 and 602-5. 

The Committee considered that it would bc inappropriate to submit 

these items to Senate until the following issues had been addressed:- 

- status of the "recently introduced specialization in 

the M.Ed. program" (i.e. Computer Education) 

- requirement for 1/2 lab instructor for a course scheduled 

only every other year 

- sequence of initial offering does not permit prerequisite 

for CMPT 602 to be fulfilled before first offering 

- level of course in relation to lower leve undergraduate 

CNPT courses 

- the prerequisite for CNPT 602 should presumably refer to 

consent of instructor(s) rather than "corisnsus" of same 

The first of the above items is the primary concern.

P.S. ? 

Further to our telephone call, discussion has been held with 

Dr. Tuinman who will respond and submit it through you to me.
