109 ECON 201-3 ? 

Change of Description 

From: 

?

"An introduction to the problems of the B.C. 

economy." 

To: ? 

"A study of the development and structure of 

the British Columbia economy and its external 

relationships. ? 

Emphasis will be given to the 

importance of labour and natural resources in the 

regional economy, and to public policy issues. 

Change of Prerequisite 

OMIT: Students with credit for ECON 365 cannot take 

this course for further credit. 

SEE APPENDIX A 

RATIONALE: To conform more closely to, and to more 

precisely describe the actual content of the course. 

When this course was first developed it was envisaged 

that it would cover the same material as ECON 365-3. 

However, this has not been the case and the department 

wishes to remove this restriction. 

2

.

?

NOTE: 

COMM 477-3

and

478-3

already have prerequiss 

of

credit hours and 105 credit hours respectively. 

RATIONALE: This is an editorial change. The departmeit 

has found that students have overlooked the following 

statement on page 

107

of the 

1977-78

Calendar. 

"Normally, students will not be permitted to take the 

Department's Upper Division courses (course numbered 

300

and

400)

during their first 60 hours without 

permission of the Chairman of the Undergraduate 

Program in Economics and Commerce." It wishes to 

list this requirement under each individual course, 

in addition to this statement. 

?

p.

COMM 222-3 ?

Change of Prerequisites: 

From: ? 

"COMM 221-3

must precede or be taken 

concurrently." 

To: ? 

"Comm 

221-3.

RATIONALE: Experience with students who have taken 

COMM 221-3

and

COMM 222-3

simultaneously has been 

unfavourable. ? 

It is logical that the concepts course 

precede the procedures course. 

?

Problems occur 

students drop or fail 

COMM 221-3

and complete 

COMM

223.

SEE APPENDIX B 

?

p.

?

COMM 321-3 ?

Change of Prerequisites 

From: 

"COMM 320-3

or permission of the Department." 

To:

"COMM 320-3. ?

60 credit hours." 

RATIONALE: Experience with students who have taken 

COMM 320-3

and

COMM 321-3

simultaneously has been 

unfavourable, as 

COMM 321-3

builds on work of 

COMM

320-3.

There are problems when students drop or fail 

COMM 320-3

and complete 

321-3.

SEE APPENDIX C 

?

p.

116 ? 

COMM 387-3 ?

Change of Prerequisites 

ADD: "COMM 270-3. 60 credit hours." 

RATIONALE: Comm 387 (like Comm 371-Organization Theory, 

for which Comm 270 is already a prerequisite) requires 

a familiarity with basic behavioral concepts, research 

findings, and normative approaches regarding such 

topics as motivation, group relationships, and deci. n 

formulation and implementation. A common core of such 

information is provided by COMM 270.
