C.
flow does this course fit the goals of the department?
With its proposed companion lecture course, English 425, and proposed
related seminar courses, it will enable the department to give Simon
Fraser University students a wider knowledge of Canadian writing than
is now possible, and will so broaden the scope of the department's
service to
students and to literature.
D.
How does this course affect degree requirements?
Forming, with proposed English 425 and 426 and related seminars, a
seventh set in the sets of alternatives in which the department's
Plan
A Majors and Honors students must do
a
prescribed part of their
studies, it
will slightly widen their discretionary rights in choosing
courses. On the department's plan
B
students it will have no effect.
E.
What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the
addition of this course?
The only calendar changes required will be deletion of English 416 and
466 entirely, insertion of this course and English 425 and 426, and
seminars for all three, and their inclusion as a seventh set of
alternatives in Plan B in the
department's Major and Honors programs.
F.
What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar if
this course is approved?
English 416 and 466.
G.
What is the nature of student demand for this course?
Many students have expressed a desire for more opportunities to
study Canadian Literature here. Many also advocate that Canadian
Literature be given at least equal status with American Literature
among the sets of alternatives in which English Major and Honors
students must do a portion of their studies.
H.
Other reasons for introducing the course.
Experience has shown that both Canadian prose and Canadian Poetry
cannot be satisfactorily covered in a single lecture course.
