The attached paper, under the title SCUS 76-37, was dis- 

cussed at the SCUS meeting of October 26, 1976. Minutes of that 

meeting indicated the following; 

"Moved by R. Brown, seconded by L. Thomas, 

'That the new course proposal for KIN 450-5 

- Internship, as set forth in SCUS 76-37, be 

approved and recommended to Senate for approval.' 

J. Ellis, although supporting the proposal, was concerned 

with the question of liability and the source of direction 

. ?

and responsibility. He referred to agreements currently 

used by institutions relative to nursing training. It was 

agreed that the Chairman would seek legal advice, which 

would also be of value in connectiàn with the Department of 

Criminology practicums, on the advisability of a release or 

contractual statement. 

The Secretary noted that it was impossible to mount the course, 

even if approved, in the Spring semester 1977, and that this 

had been confirmed by the Dean. 

Question was called on the motion, subject to satisfactory 

resolution of the issues by the Chairman and the Dean, and a 

vote taken. An appropriate memorandum on the issues raised 

would be provided. 

MOTION CARRIED" 

Two additional memoranda from T. W. Calvert, dated October 28, 

1976 and' December 7, 1976, have been added to the original submission.

MEMORANDUM

This is further to my memo. of October 28 regarding our proposed 

"Internship". 

We proposed that grading should be on a Pass/Fail basis. I still 

believe that this is appropriate but we would not object if it is felt 

by S.C.U.S. that this should be Pass/Withdraw. Certainly if for any 

reason a student could not function effectively in the working environ- 

ment 

and

his em1oinent was terminated he would have to withdraw.

RATIONALE FOR KIN 450-5 INTERNSHIP 

The Kinesiology degree programs at Simon Fraser 

provide a very basic, largely scientific education in the factors 

which determine human performance. 

?

The degrees do not prepare 

students for any specific careers or professions but provide a 

solid basis for those going into further professional training 

in medicine, rehabilitation, industrial safety, human factors, 

recreation or education. 

?

This "Internship" will provide under- 

graduates with an opportunity to relate their academic preparation 

to real world problems before they complete their degrees. 

?

This 

should add relevance to further academic course work. 

Obviously considerable care must be taken in 

selecting a suitable environment for an internship. 

?

It will 

be important to ensure that the student is supervised on a daily 

basis by a person (in the working environment) who has academic 

training relevant to Kinesiology. 

?

General supervision will also 

be provided by a faculty member in the department. 

?

The student 

will summarize his achievements and experience in a written report 

to his supervisors. Grading will be on a Pass/Fail basis. 

The Department Chairperson will appoint a faculty member 

to act as co-ordinator of the Internship Program. 

?

The co-ordinator will 

contact institutions and organizations to solicit internships and will 

recommend to the Department on which situations are suitable for placement 

of our students. ? 

Normally it will be expected that the student will become 

a full-time employee of the organization with which the internship is arranged 

and that this employment will be for a full semester. 

?

The student will 

normally be compensated at a rate appropriate to the duties performed. 

Typical situations in which we hope to arrange internships and with which 

we already have tentative contacts are the Workers' Compensation Board, 

the G.F. ? 

Strong Rehabilitation Centre, the Prosthetics Unit of V.G.H., 

the Safety Engineering Department of various forrest industry and mining 

.

companies, the coronary rehabilitation programs of the YMCA and in appropriate 

departmentof the Provincial and Federal governments.
