Date, November 25, 1976
The Canadian Studies programme at Simon Fraser has offered its
lower division course --(Canadian Studies 200-3) -- on a regular basis
since the Fall Semester of 1971. Our offerings have been varied (Appendix I)
and the faculty participating in these offerings have been drawn with respect
to interests and diverse disciplines.
Because of individual faculty committments to teaching and research
within their own departments it has been impossible to offer the CNS 200 course
S ?
with a singular theme in each semester.
The Steering Committee has, through its coordinator, attempted to
introduce material of sufficient uniqueness and interest so as to
encourage students regardless of their major area of orientation to
increase their self-knowledge by undertaking this course.
In this undertaking we have been quite successful. Courses have been
well attended and received by students from all disciplines.
A principal criticism of students towards our present course has been
the restrictiveness of allowing them University credit in only one Canadian
Studies course offering at the 200 level given the variety of subject material
offered in subsequent semesters.
The committee feels strongly that these contemporary courses,
involving our culture and communities contribute strongly to the students
10
?
self-knowledge and recommends the following --
•
?
-2-
"that provision be extended to allow a student to undertake additional
Canadian Studies 200 level courses for university credit."
To this end we recommend the Canadian Studies 200 course be amended
• ?
to include
CNS 200/201/202
such that a maximum of three Canadian studies courses be allowed at the 200 level,
to fulfill lowei division requirements-- and any one of these courses may
be used as credit towards a student's minor in Canadian Studies.
