Studies Program. 

Acting in accordance with the authority delegated to it 

by Senate (S78-10), the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

approved the title changes listed below. This action is being 

reported to Senate for information only. 

Change in Titles 

1.

From CMNS 310, History of Communication Thought I 

to CNNS 310, Communication Thought in the Evolution of 

the Social Sciences I. 

2.

From CMNS 410, History of Communication Thought II 

to CMNS 410, Communication Thought in the Evolution of 

the Social Sciences II. 

Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

at its meeting on November 14, 1978 gives rise to the following 

motion: 

MOTION 

That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board 

of Governors a change in course number for CMNS 222-3, 

Communication and Cultural Context, from CMNS 222-3 to 

CMNS 322-3. 

It is felt that this course is most appropriately numbered at the 

300-level and that it was numbered at the 200-level at the time 

of its introduction due to misunderstanding or error.

CMS course changes for SCUS 

?

Date ? 

30/10/78 

The Department of Communication wishes to make the following changes for its 

Course offerings: 

1.

The number of CMNS 222 changes as follows: 

from ? 

CMNS 222-3 Communication and Cultural Context 

to ? 

CMS 322-3 Communication and Cultural Context 

The mode, meaning and method of communication within and 

between cultural and national groups. The course will develop 

a perspective in which to explore and interpret both cultural 

differences and universal patterns of verbal and non-verbal 

behavior. Most of the examples will be drawn from non-western 

and third world situations. 

Rationale: 

The faculty members who originally proposed this course, and who will be 

teaching it make the following arguement: "We believe this course is best suited 

for the 300-level, and intended it to be a 300-level course when we made the 

initial proposal. It is quite likely, in the time of preparation of a large number 

of courses for approval, that this course received its present number through 

misunderstanding or error. We have received a number of complaints from students 

who found the material much too advanced for a 200-level course." 

2.

The titles of CMNS 310 and CMNS 410 are changed as follows: 

from 

?

CMNS 310 History of Communication Thought I 

CMNS 410 History of Communication Thought II 

to

?

CMNS 310 Communication Thought in the Evolution of the Social 

Sciences I 

CMS 410 Communication Thought in the Evolution of the Social 

Sciences II 

Rationale: 

The change is being proposed to reduce confusion that has been arising 

over the similarity of the present titles of these courses with the title of 

CMNS 210 History of Communication. The proposed titles are more accurate as 

descriptors of the material offered in the courses. The phrase "evolution of 

the social sciences" highlights the time period that the courses cover and suggests 

the perspective that the study of "communication thought" will take. The content 

of the courses is not changed.
