EXTENSION OF DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION 

OF GRADING REPORT 

From SENATE COMMITTEE 

,.

ON UNDERGRADUATE 

STUDIES 

JULY 

MOTION: ? 

"That Senate extend the deadline for submission 

of the report on Grading to its March 

meeting." 

SENATE 

At its meeting of 8th July, the Senate Committee on 

Undergraduate Studies accepted and agreed to consider letters frdm 

the Student Unions of the History and Philosophy Departments and 

from the Ad Hoc Grading Committee of the Student Society. These 

letters requested the Committee to recommend' to Senate that its 

deadline of the October meeting for submission of a report on 

grading be postponed until midway through the Spring semester, 

1976. 

In discussion of these requests, the student members 

of the Committee .that, if the present deadline was maintained, most 

of the work and investigation on which the report would be based' 

would have to be undertaken during.the current semester in which 

a very small proportion of the student body was available for 

consultation. ? 

It was thus urged that a delay until the Spring 

semester 1976 would enable a more representative cross section 

of the student body to be canvassed on this question. It.was 

further indicated by the Chairman of the Sub-committee which had 

been charged to reconsider the original grading report that the 

Committee was attempting, in consultation with a member of the 

Faculty of Education, to put together a questionnaire on the 

grading question. It was his view that this questionnaire would 

take some time to develop and administer and that the Committee's 

final report would only benefit from an extension of the present 

deadline. ? 

It was thus moved, seconded and carried - 

That Senate be requested to extend the deadline 

for submission of the report on grading to its 

March meeting. 

It was also resolved that the Committee would 

establish the end of November as the deadline for 

all submissions to the sub-committee and 15th
