RATIONALE FOR CHANGING AN 

HONOURS COURSE REQUIREMENT 

1.

As a course (requirement) designed to increase 

technical abilities at a fairly fundamental level 

and to help students analyze data and understand 

the literature, it should come sooner rather than 

later in the undergraduate programme. 

2.

Geog. 407 should be a more specialized, advanced 

course for those with specific interests in geo- 

graphic techniques or quantitative methods and 

geographic problems. 

3.

By making Geog. 251 the Honours requirement and 

clearly establishing this as an introductory and 

service course I would expect interested non- 

honours students to register too.

.

RATIONALE: It 

It has become apparent to the department 

that this course would be better suited 

to the credit hour and teaching format 

of its ? 

300 Division courses. However, 

it is a course which reauires considerable 

background and students hhould not take 

it during their first semester of Upper 

Division course work.
