Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies at 

its meeting on November 6, 1979 gives rise to the following motions: 

MOTION 1 

That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board, 

as set forth in S79-137, the proposed changes in 

Criminology as follows: 

Change in requirements 

(See 1979-80 Calendar, pages 315-319 inclusive) 

(I) Change Group B Lower Division listings? 

(on listing, see items I, 2, 4, 8) 

(2) Change Group B Upper Division listings 

(on listing, 

see

Item 9) 

(3)

Change number of required Lower Division 

Group B courses (on listing, see 

item 4) 

(4)

Requirements to proceed to Upper Division 

courses (on listing, see item 5) 

NOTE: ? 

SCUS was informed that discussions were taking place between the 

Psychology and Criminology Departments about the implications of 

the Psychology proposal to add PSYC 201 as a prerequisite to 

PSYC 210. 

MOTION 2 

That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board, 

as set forth in S79-137 

?

a change in grading 

system from P-W to lettergrades for CRIM 462-15 (Field 

Practice) but with retention of authorization to withdraw 

a student from CRIM 462 as that authorization pertains 

to courses on a P-W system. 

NOTE: ? 

Departmental representatives provided information to the effect 

that a significant academic component has been added to the 

field practice course and it is largely on that basis that the 

• ? Department wishes to use normal letter grades. However, because 

the course involves placement in a variety of agencies and both 

the agency and the department nust be concerned with maintenance 

of professional ethics and responsibility to clients, the 

Department must retain authority to withdraw a student -- with or 

without that student's consent. The Departmental Chairman made it 

to Senate ? 

- 2 - 

? November 15, 1979 

clear that whenever it is appropriate to do so, n effort will 

be made to obtain an alternative placement in the same semester 

or to grant priority for placement in the following semester. 

In practice if there is a withdrawal, either voluntary or 

involuntary, by the end of week 9 the transcript will show the 

same entry as it would for any student who withdraws from all 

courses during a semester. If there should be an involuntary 

withdrawal after week 9, it will be considered to have taken 

place under extenuating circumstances and no grade will be 

assigned.

The following calendar changes for the Department of Criminology undergraduate 

curriculum and the rationale for these changes are as follows: 

1. Degree Regulations 

a)

S.A. 260-4 is removed as a lower level Group B required course for 

Criminology majors to allow the addition of two other required 

courses in an attempt to broaden the exposure of our majors to other 

disciplines relevant to their course of study. S.A. 150-4 will 

remain a required course at the lower level for Criminology majors 

and S.A. 260-4 will be entered into the calendar as an elective. 

b)

PHIL 001-3, PHIL 100-3, PHIL 110-3, or PHIL 10-3 will be a required 

course in the lower division to expose

our majors to relevant 

courses which will assist them in their work in Criminology.

Prerequisite Changes 

a) Students who have declared a major in Criminology 

wili normally be

expected to have completed all lower level Group A and Group B 

requirements before proceeding to the Upper Level courses. Students 

may proceed to the upper level courses without having completed

these lower level courses only with the expressed written approval 

of the Criminology Undergraduate Curriculum and Articulation Committee. 

This calendar insertion is necessary to ensure that students who 

enroll in upper level courses have the background and skills acquired 

in lower level Group A and Group B courses. In the past, many 

students have delayed taking required courses until their third 

or fourth year, thus defeating the purpose of having these required 

courses at the lower level. This has been especially the case with 

the statistics requirement, which students often put off until their 

last semester in the Criminology program.

Criminology Undergraduate Calendar Changes (cont'd) 

3. Course Title Change 

a)

The title of CRIM 341-3, Techniques of Criminological Treatment 

and Social Reintegration I is changed to Psychotherapy with Offenders: 

Current Trends, to more accurately reflect the calendar description 

and established content of the course. 

b)

The title of CRIM 441-4, Techniques of Criminological Treatment and 

Social Reintec!ration II is changed to Psychotherapy with Offenders: 

New Directions, to more accurately reflect the calendar description 

and established content of the course. 

4. Prerequisite Changes 

a)

GRIM 102-3 (Crime: An Analytic 

,

Approach) is removed-as a prerequisite 

for CRIM 313-3 (Specific Types of Crime). 

b)

CRIM 135-3 (Introduction to Canadian Law and Legal Institutions: 

• ? 

A Criminal Justice Perspective) should be a prerequisite for 

CRIM 335-3 (Human Rights and Civil Liberties). 

c)

CRIM 210-3 (Juvenile Delinquency) is removed as a prerequisite for 

CRIM 350-3 (iechniques of Crime Prevention). 

d)

CRIM 210-3 (Juvenile Delinquency) is removed as a prerequisite for 

CRIM 414-3 (Criminal Typologies). 

e)

CRIM 320-3 (Introduction to Criminological Research) should be a 

prerequisite for CRIM 462-15 (Field Practice) to ensure that students 

have the necessary skills to successfully carry out the tasks 

required of them in the field. 

f)

CRIM 320-3 (Introduction to Criminological Research) should be a 

prerequisite for CRIM 410-3 (Decision-making in Criminal Justice) 

to ensure that students have adequate preparation for the course 

content in CRIM 410-3. 

5. Changes in Group B lower and upper level electives 

The changes reflect an effort to provide majors in Criminology with 

courses from which to choose which will broaden their exposure to other 

disciplines while at the same time complement their studies in Criminology. 

6. Grading Chag 

The grading system of CRIM 462-15, Field Practice, should be from P/W 

to letter grades. See attached rationale. 

CRIMINOLOGY 462-15 

FIELD PRACTICE 

- GRADING CHANGE PROPOSAL 

The Department of Criminology 

would like to recommend that the present 

grading system of Pass/Withdrawn in CRIM 462-15 be changed to a letter grade 

system. 

In the Spring semester 1979, the Criminology Department instituted a new 

optional Field Practice course,CRIM 462-15, which.replaced the former mandatory 

Field Practice courses, CRIM 360-6, CRIM 460-6 and CRIM 465-6. The new Field 

Practice course is a 15-credit course which gives upper levels Criminology 

majors or honors students the, opportunity to spend a full semester working 

in a criminal justice agency. One of the major reasons for assigning the new 

course 15 credits was its strong academic component. Students are now 

responsible for the completion of four papers that require them to integrate 

theory and practice as well as participation in a series of academic seminars 

held at the university. 

The original Field Practice courses (CRIM 360, 460 & 465) were 6 credit 

courses evaluted on a P1W basis. For each course, the students spent a total of 

24 days in the field during the semester, working two days per week in the 

agency. The academic components of these courses were not as rigorous as those 

initiated in the new Field Practice course. 

It was felt, when the P/W grading procedure was recommended for the 

original program that this type of grading system would best suit the field 

practice program the Department had envisaged, ie. a three-part program which 

concentrated on the students receiving the opportunity to get a general overview 

of the criminal justice field. The academic requirements of these courses 

reflected a similar general nature. 

-2-

The present Field Practice course allows the student, through greater 

exposure to the field, to concentrate or specialize in one specific segment 

of the criminal justice system. Thus, the students' practical tasks and 

responsibilities in the agency are more complex and demanding. To complement 

this indepth exposure, the students are now required to produce a series of 

academic papers and participate in seminars at a level which must demonstrate 

that the student has obtained an extensive knowledge of how the relevant 

criminological literature applies to the specific criminal justice setting. 

This quality and depth of paper and seminar participation was not required 

in the former Field Practice courses because of the limited time and 

exposure involved in the placement. 

With the institution of the new Field Practice course, a point system 

was devised whereby the students' academic and practical performance could 

be measured. (This point system is easily transferable to letter grades.) 

It was felt that this would not only increase the motivation of the 

,

students 

with regard to their practical and academic performance, but it would also 

supply the students with more direct and obvious feedback in these areas. 

The students are assigned marks (points) on all their academic work and 

seminar participation by the Departmental faculty involved in the course. 

Students are evaluated in the field by their agency field supervisors on a 

standardized evaluation form supplied by the Department of Criminology. To 

safeguard 'the. students, the field supervisors are instructed by the Coordinator 

of Field Practice on the use of the evaluation form. The Coordinator also 

keep's in touch with both the students and the field supervisors to ensure 

that the placement is progressing satisfactorily. Students are made aware of 

any problem areas both through regular meetings with their field supervisors 

and through a more formal interim evaluation which is also submitted to the 

Department. Thus, the students have continual feedback on their performance 

which limits the possibility of any surprises arising on their final evaluation. 

However, students are advised that if they disagree with the comments on the 

final evaluation form, they have the right to appeal to the Deparmental Field 

Practice Committee and then through the regular university channels. The 

latter is also available to students who disagree with the marks assigned in 

the academic component. 

Since the Field Practice course has been made an optional component of 

the Criminology undergraduate curriculum, students applying for entry into 

this course are subjected to a screening process. This takes into account the 

student's academic performance and abilities. As a result, students who 

enter the Field Practice course generally have a strong academic record. The 

demands of this course are high because of the commitment the student must make 

both to the agency in terms of practical involvement and to the Department in 

terms of academic requirements. 

Given the characteristics of the Field Practice course, the Department 

feels it would be appropriate that the assessment of this course be made on 

a letter grade basis. The Department has also consulted the students 

involved in this course and the general consensus is in 

favour 

of initiating 

a letter grade system.

Change the Grading System 

The Department of Criminology recently p 

system of grading, which is presently in 

component of the Criminology program, be 

grading system.' This recommendation was 

Interdisciplinary Studies' Undergraduate 

been forwarded to S.C.U.S. 

roposed that the Pass/Withdrawal 

operation in the Field Practice 

converted to a regular letter 

approved by the Faculty of 

Curriculum Committee and has 

It has been brought to my attention that a letter grading system will 

not per se permit the Department to withdraw a student from Crim 462. 

Nevertheless, the Field Practice and Undergraduate Curriculum Committees 

feel that the power to withdraw a student from Crim 462 should be 

retained by the Department. I would be grateful if you could bring 

to the attention of S.C.U.S. the fact that it.will be necessary to make 

some provision for the withdrawal of students from Crim 462 should 

the recommendation to convert to a letter grading system be approved. 

Please find herewith attached a copy of a memorandum from Dr. C.T. 

Griffiths which provides the rationale for this request, a copy of a 

memorandum from Ms. Deanna Buckley explaining the withdrawal procedure 

currently in operation in the Field Practice component and a copy of 

the Field Practice Manual which is intended to provide background 

information to students about the procedures employed in Crim 462.

With the newly proposed letter grading proposal for Crim 462-15 

Field Practice, it is advisable that the Department retain withdrawal 

procedures. for this course in certain circumstances. 

The Field Practice Committee will be responsible for handling all 

matters relating to the overall grading and withdrawal of students from 

this course. Following established University policy, students will be 

given adequate feedback throughout the first nine weeks of the semester 

as to their performance, academically and practically, and will be able 

to withdraw from the course without penalty should they so choose. 

However, there are several potential situations Which might arise 

which would necessitate the need for retaining a formal withdrawal 

•

?

mechanism in this course. In the rare event that a placement in which 

a student is participating becomes unsatisfactory (due to agency problems) 

during the course of the semester and the student is therefore unable to 

complete the requirements of the course, the student would be encouraged 

to withdraw from the course at this point. Every attempt would be made, 

however, to secure another placement for the student. If another place- 

ment could not be found and the student was forced to withdraw from the 

course, this student would be given first preference for a placement in 

the subsequent semester. Such procedures would also apply in those 

unlikely instances where the agency insisted that the student terminate
