November, 1969 

NEW COURSE PROPOSAL 

1. CALENDAR INFORMATION 

Department: Geography 

?

Course Number: 317 

?

Title: Soil Geography 

Sub-title or Description: 

An introduction to soils and soil geography. Factors and processes 

of soil formation, profile description and soil surveying. Elementary 

field and laboratory techniques of soil analysis. 

Credit Hours: 

?

3

?

Vector Description: 1 - 0 - 3 

Pre-requisite(s): Geography 211 or the permission of the instructor 

2.

ENROLMENT AND SCHEDULING 

Estimated Enrolment: ? 

25

Semester Offered (e.g. yearly, every Spring; twice yearly, Fall 

and Spring) 

Once yearly, initially in the spring. 

When will course first be offered? 

Eight months after acceptance, or Spring 1972. 

3. JUSTIFICATION 

A. What is the detailed description of the course including 

differentiation from lower level courses, from similar courses 

in the same department, and from courses in other departments 

in the University? 

This course will concentrate upon the soil component of natural land- 

scapes. At present there is no comparable course offered in the 

university. A few introductory lectures on soils are normally given in 

Geography 211 (Introduction to Physical Geography) but beyond this level, 

soils have been treated only peripherally in Geography 315 (Biogeographv 

an arrangement that has not proved satisfactory. 

B.

What is the range of topics that may be dealt with in the 

course? 

Factors and processes of soil formation. Field and laboratory 

• ? 

techniques of soil description and analysis. Soil mapping and surveys. 

Soil classification and the major orders of soils. 

2.

0 ?

C. How does this course fit the goals of the department? 

The Geography Department has, as one of its irImary goals, the 

offering of an adequate undergraduate training in the three main 

streams of Physical, Cultural and Economic Geography. The absence 

of a course on soils has so far been a distinct deficiency in the 

Physical Geography stream of the department. 

D.

How does this course affect degree requirements? 

Does not. 

E.

What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect the 

addition of this course? 

Addition of course number and description. 

F.

What course, if any, is being dropped from the calendar if 

this course is approved? 

None. 

C. What is the nature of student demand for this course? 

There is a substantial demand among undergraduate majors in this 

department for a greater variety of courses in Physical Geography. 

There is also a demand from Science students (particularly 

those majoring in Biological Sciences) for such a course. These 

two sources should provide an adequate enrollment for the course 

if offered once annually. 

H. Other reasons for introducing the course. 

The acquisition by the Geography department of new laboratory 

facilities in the Classroom Complex has made it feasible to offer 

such a course. 

3.

4. BUDGETARY AND SPACE FACTOR: 

A.

Which faculty will be available to teach this course? 

M.C. Keilman (possibly assisted by E.J. Hickin) 

B.

What are, the special space and/or equipment requirements 

for this course? 

Existing laboratory. 

C.

Any other budgetary implications of 

mounting

this course: 

No.
