The calendar recommendation submitted by the Department of Economics
and Commerce contained a request to discontinue E/Com 235-3 and
renumber it as Ec/Com 332-3. The Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies considered the request and did not approve it on the grounds
that there was insufficient rationale presented for the change.
Specifically, Dean Aronoff indicated that the Mathematics Department
judged the proposed E/Com 332-3 course to be a course at the 100 level
rather than the 300 level proposed. Furthermore, S.C.U.S. agreed to
refer the recommended renumbering change back to the Department of
Economics and Commerce for a clearer rationale of the change proposed.
The Department of Economics and Commerce has indicated that it wishes
the renumbering change recommended together with the original rationale
to be presented to Senate unaltered. In the absence of any clearer
rationale for the proposed change, the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies recommends to Senate that the course not be approved until there
is an acceptable rationale provided for, the renumbering of E/Com 235-3
to Ec/Com 332-3.
I would draw to Senate's attention that the rationale for the change in
the course numbering identified above is contained in "Policy Change #1:
"Supplement" of the calendar changes recommended by the Department of
Economics and Commerce.

It was recently brought to the attention of the DEC that the
Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies had decided to oppose the
department's recommendation that Ec/Com
235,
a course in elementary
economic and business statistics, be renumbered to the
300
level.
It is our understanding that the reason for this opposition is that
upper level credits should not be given for a course similar in
nature and difficulty to a course in the mathematics department for
which lower level credit is given.
Our department cannot accept such a mechanistic view-of what to
us is an important problem in the structure of our overall undergraduate
program. A defense of our view could proceed along many lines. We
could reiterate that in many respects our course is quite different
from the comparable mathematics course (as described in the original
documentation). We could point to the large number of Canadian
universities with a similar disparity in their economics and/or
business administration programs. Or we could document similar
disparities within Simon Fraser, even within this same sphere
(statistics).
These arguments will not be pursued, however, because they are
subject to the same criticism as that which we levy against the
Senate committee's reasoning in opposing our proposal--they are too
mechanistic and not enough concerned with whether or not the
proposal provides a better academic program for students in our
department. It is on this question, and this question alone, that
the decision should be made.
It is our strong belief that our students are not benefiting
from their two-course statistics sequence as much as they should.
This
is,
in our opinion, because they are taking these courses too
early in their academic career. Not only do they not have the
required degree of academic maturity to benefit from these courses,
they also have not been exposed to a large enough number of economics
and commerce
couzses
to enable them to place these statistics courses
in proper context. It is probably the case that students interested
in the sciences are of a sufficiently different nature that these
arguments do not apply to them; it may therefore be appropriate that
they take a course of this nature early in their university career.
To force a different type of student (an economics and/or commerce
student) into this Would would be inappropriate.

Memorandum
Senate
November 22,
1971
Should Senate not agree that our program would be of more
benefit to our students with both courses in the statistics sequence
moved to the 300 level, we would wish to retain both at the 200
level. Splitting the courses--one at the 200 level and one at the
300
level
we feel would serve to cause students not to take these
courses one right after the other, a factor of critical importance.

Calendar Changes
DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND COMMERCE
At its meeting of October
12, 1971,
the Faculty of
Arts Curriculum Committee approved the
1
972-73
Undergraduate
Calendar Submission
for the Department of Economics and
Commerce.
The justification for the changes as submitted by the
Department of Economics and Commerce is outlined below.
For some time now there has been a feeling among the faculty of the DEC
that the structure and content of their undergraduate program were less than
optimal.. This feeling was supported by unofficial exhortations.from others in
the usiveraity community who felt that our program should be revised. In addition,
repeated surveys of student opinion have served to reinforce our view that our
programme is too tightly structured, too technical, and too much oriented to
• graduate school preparation for the majority of our undergraduates.
A
declining
enrolment has implicitly underlined student opinion on this matter.
An acceleration of this enrolment drop in this fall semester served
to
st i mulate
the DEC undergraduate curriculum committee to propose some broad
changes in the structure of the department's undergraduate program. To many,
these changes reflected a long overdue improvement in the undergraduate program,
an improvement which will not only allow our program to be more meaningful to the
students, but also allow our course offerings to be more easily integrated with
course offerings
in
other departments.
Many of the proposed changes are purely internal (for example, an impetus
to include more currently relevant material in certain "theory" courses; or the
imposition of pressure to assign the department's better teachers to its lower
level courses). Many of the proposals, however, involve calendar changes and as
such require approval from the Faculty of Arts. The attached changes that we are
proposing represent a package of proposals which do not necessarily stand or fall
together. They do, however, embody several general principles which have been
adopted to generate a high-quality, balanced program. Rejection of these principles
would certainly destroy the value of our program and necessitate the withdrawal
of
a
large portion of our proposed changes. We shall present our proposed changes,
therefore, grouped under
the general principle from which they are derived.

_Change #1
The present structure of our mathematics and statistics requirements is
thought by the department to be inappropriate in several senses. Although a
calculus course is definitely required for those interested in pursuing the
current economic literature in any depth and for those interested in pursuing
graduate work in economics, it does not seem to be necessary for those not
interested in honouring in our department in economics. In addition, reducing
our mathematics requirements will encourage faculty to take more care in present-
ing material which often lost its impact on students because they chose to couch
it in mathematical terms.
This leads to the following specific change: eliminate Math 150-3 or 151-3
as a degree requirement except for the honors degree in economics and the honors
degree in economics and commerce; remove Math 150-3 or 151-3 as a prerequisite
from all courses except those upper levels courses designed primarily for honors
students.
Although students seem to be unhappy with the requirement of courses in
economic and business statistics, the department feels that this should be a
definite requirement for those majoring in the DEC. Part of the problem lies in
the fact that at the lower levels students do not have enough academic maturity
or economics and/or commerce background to fully appreciate or benefit from these
courses. In addition, the course content is not sufficiently broad and provides
no opportunity for the student to pursue applications of statistics that may be
40
of particular interest to him. Consequently we are proposing renumberin, these
courses to the 300 level.
Specifically, Ec/Com 235-3 and 236-3 will be renumbered as Ec/Com 332-3 and
333-3. These courses have been drawn up as though they were new courses. It
should be noted that we will be explicitly adding a B.C. grade 12 Math or equivalent
requirement.
Policy Change #2
Because of a lack of sufficient student demand and a paucity of departmental
resources, the present system of honors seminars seems inappropriate. It was
felt that a more desirable alternative was to offer a single, five-credit
advanced theory course as our basic honors economics requirement, along with
a more regular offering of selected topics courses based on student interest
and faculty availability. To further distinguish our honors program from our
general program, and in response to complaints that too much economic theory
is required, we propose to reduce our 300 level required theory courses (301-
305)from five to three credits each.
These ideas have given rise to the following specific changes: change Ec
301-5 and 305-5 to Ec 302-3 and 304-3; change the present Ec 409-3 (Honors
seminar in economic theory) to Ec 401-5 Advanced Economic Theory. These changes
.
have been drawn up as though they were new courses. All other honors seminars
will be eliminated, except for Ec 404-3,(eminatinj Corn 419-3, 429-3, 448-3,
479-3, Ec 449-3, 459-3, 489-3, and Ec/Com 499-3). Ec 404-3 has proved to be of
sufficient interest to advanced undergraduates both inside and outside the
department and is offered on a sufficiently regular basis that it is proposed
that it be retained.
2.
An additional
additional implication of this
topics courses be set up. At present,
is very awkward for a student to take
two or three
times
and receive credit
course numbers for the selected topics
as is done in other departments, would
policy change is that additional selected
with only one selected topics course it
the same course (in number, not content)
from the computer. Adding two additional
courses in each of
.
economics and commerce,
resolve this problem.
Specifically, add the following selected topics courses: Corn 492-3, Corn 493-3,
Ec 483-3, Ec 484-3. These have been drawn up as though they were new courses.
Policy Change
#3
It was felt that the department is not meeting its obligation to the
university in terms of the numberand character of lower-level service courses
it offers. There has been a demand for courses concerned with more contemporary
material and for courses applicable to the General Studies and Canadian Studies
programmes. In response to this the following new courses are proposed:
Ec 102-3
?
Twentieth Century Economies
Ec 201-3 ?
The Economy of British Columbia
Corn 103-3
?
Business and Society
Ec/Coni 293-3 Law and Economic Society
In addition, it is proposed that Ec/Com 380-3 (labour economics) be renumbered
. ?
280-3 and Corn 323-5 be renumbered 223-5 (introductory accounting). All these
courses have been provided with new course documentation.
As a corollary of this recommendation, a number of courses will be dropped
in order to provide sufficient resources for the department to mount these new
course offerings. In addition to the eight honors seminar courses deleted under
policy change #2, there are several other courses which we feel in the context
of our revised program no longer meet the needs of the department. They are
Ec 406-5 (economic fluctuations), Corn 370-3 (business management), Corn 417-3
(Investment Management), Corn 444-5 (marketing institutions), and Corn 425-3
(taxation accounting). Corn 303 (business and society) is in essence being
restructured into the new Corn 103, so that it too, will be dropped.
There is one notable prerequisite change that has also flowed from these
recommendations. Because the department feels that prior exposure to an issues-
oriented and broadly presented course will improve student's ability to handle
the introductory theory courses, the
p rere q
uisites of Ec 200 and 205 should be
changed to "Any 100 level economics or commerce course". The prior prerequisite
of "15 credit hours standing" was permitting students without the background to
enter directly into these courses, a fact that recent experience has shown to be
unhealthy. in addition, there has never been any need to have Ec 200 as a
prerequisite to Ec 205. We therefore propose that it be dropped. This in turn
will
imply i.it the Ec 200 and 205 titles be changed, respectively, from Principles
of
Economics I ani Principles of Economics II, to"Microeconornjc Principles" and
• "Macroeconomic Principles", -
Cf
-4-
Policy _Change #4
In response to complaints that the prerequisite structure in the program
and the advanced nature of many of its courses did not properly meet the needs
of the students (particularly those not honoring and those from outside the
department) the department has decided to differentiate more sharply between
its
300 and 400 level courses, with its 300 level courses offered mainly on a
broader interest and less technical basis, while courses at the 400 level will
be of a higher-powered, technically-focused, honors and grad-school oriented
nature. This will necessitate, in addition to a change in the way many courses
are now being offered, a re-numbering of several 400 level course.-to the 300
level
and a lowering of many prerequisites.
Specifically, this policy change implies the following course renumberings
and prerequisite changes (they are all documented as being new courses).
Corn 445-5 to 345-5 (promotion management)
Ec/Com 86-5 to 386-5 (industrial. relations)
change prerequisite to Ec/Com 280-3 from 380
Ec 408-5 to 308-5 (development of economic thought)
change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205 from 301 and 305
Ec 455-5 to 355-5 (development)
change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205 from 301 and 305
Ec 465-5 to 365-5 (regional)
change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205 from 305
Ec 495-5 to 395-5 (comparative systein)
change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205 from 301 and 305
Corn 446-5 to 346-3 (international business)
change prerequisite to Corn 313 from 313,343, and 370
Corn 422-3 to 322-3 (intermediate accounting)
change prerequisite to Corn 223 from 323
The general policy of differentiating between the character of 300 and 400
level offerings also underlies the followin
g
prerequisite changes.
Ec 310-3 (money) change prerequisite to "Ec 200 and 205" from "Ec 305 may
be taken concurrently"
Ec 363-5 (natural resources) change prerequisite to "Ec 200 and 205" from
"Ec 301 may be taken concurrently"
Ec 390-3 (policy) change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205 from Ec 301 and 305
The removal of Ec 200 as prerequisite for Ec 205, and the renumbering
several courses requires a number of changes in prerequisite language:
Ec 351-5 and Ec 353-5 (economic history) change prerequisite to Ec 200, 205
and 152 from Ec 205 and 152
Ec 331-5 (mathematical economics) change prerequisite to Ec 200 and 205
• ?
and Math 150 or 151 Eliminate from present calendar the phrase "Economics
or Commerce majors with Math 213 or equivalent will not receive credit
for Ec 331 Students with Math 213 or equivalent should register for
Ec 431-5 rather than Ec 331-5". The present structure of this course is
such as to make it useful to someone with a Math 213 background.

As an additional specific proposal associated with this policy change we are
e '
eliminating Ec/Com 497 (Public Control of Industry) and replacing it with a new 300
level Ec/Com course on the Structure of Industry, a course which we feel more
adequately meets the needs of the department and the interests of the students in
this area of economics and commerce. Documentation is provided for this as a new
course,

Policy Change #5
In light of the changes proposed already, and particularly in light
of policy changes #2 and 4, the-
g
eneral re
q
uirements for a degree in our
dcpartment will be changed as follows. Honors economics students sill
require Ec
401-5
and at least two other 400 level economics courses.
Honors commerce students will require Corn 478-3 and at least two other
400 level commerce courses. Honors economics and commerce students will
require Ec 409-5, Cam 478-3 and at least one 400 level economics course
and at least one 400 level commerce course. A major in economics will
require at least one 400 level course, a major in commerce will require
Corn 478-3 plus at least one 400 level commerce course, and a major in
economics and commerce will require Corn 478-3 plus at least one 400 level
commerce course and at least one 400 level economics course.
In addition, it is proposed that
the
requirement that all DEC majors
• ?
must take at least 42 hours outside the department be eliminated. Students
have complained that they are forced into course overloads in order to
meet this requirement. it would seem that if the faculty of Arts supported
this idea it
would be more appropriate to include (and enforce) it at the
faculty

:
/l: Supplement
It has been brought to our attention by the mathematics department
. ?
that we have not clearly explained the difference between our Ec/Cozi
332 course and their Math 101 course which had previously been
considered as rough equivalents. The following comments are offered
for the purpose of clarifying the difference between these two courses
and to further explain our motivation for moving the Ec/Com course
to the 300 level. Many of these differences lie in a new approach
that will be taken to the subject matter as a 300-level course.
The main distinguishing feature of Ec/Com 332 is its use of
economics and commerce examples exclusively and the use of special
readings in the area of economics and commerce to describe statistical
problems from a more descriptive rather than mathematical or theoretical
level. The emphasis, in our course on the limitations and pitfalls in
applying statistics, and the problems with data sources also provide
distinguishing features. Examples of what these differences mean can
be found in one of the readings books for the course Elementary
Statistics for Business and Economies by E. Mansfield, Norton, 1970.
In particular the following articles are of interest: Ross, "Living
with Symbols"; Morgenstern, "Sources and Errors of Economic Statistics";
dansen and Horowitz, "Dependable Samples for Market Surveys"; and
Neter, "Some Applications of Statistics for Auditing."
In the area of probabilityarfi statistical inference our course
will stress the differing views of the subjectivists and objectivists--
the Bayesian and classical schools. In particular, the Bayesian
. ? approach will be stressed much more heavily than it has in the past,
in recognition of its widespread application to business and economic
problems. Again, selected readings from the Mansfield book of readings
could be cited here to illustrate the approach taken in this area of
the statistics course.
Throughout bo-th this course and its sequel (Ec/Com
333,
also a
required course) students will be required to familiarize themselves
with the use of package programs on the SPU computer. This work will
be done in the form of regular assignments and also in conjunction
with an individual project (field work involving conducting a survey
and analysing the results using the theory and techniques learned in
class). This individual project also represents a distinctive feature
of our course.
Most other universities in Canada have in their economics and
commerce programs a statistics requirement at the
300
level. We
have come to feel that this is necessary to assure that the students
will be of sufficient maturity and will have sufficient experience
in economics and commerce to benefit fully from the course. It is
clear to us that at present our lower-levels students are not
benefitting from the statistics sequence nearly as much as they should.
To our minds the course as it is
.
now structured not only belongs in
the upper levels on purely academic grounds, it also belongs there
as a guide to our students as to when in their academic career they
will most benefit from taking it.
The imposition of a prerequisite of "Ec 200 or 205" for this
course will assure that only students interested in economics and
commerce will gravitate to this course.

Several upper levels courses are being eliminated to free resources
for this course.
C.
What is the nature of student demand for this course?
Our majors and honours students have proposed that there be a much lower
level introduction to these questions which have hitherto been examined
only at the upper level. Non-majors have complained that the upper level
courses were desirable but that prerequisites (course and theoretical)
were prohibitive.
H. Other reasons
for introducing the course.
There were numerous proposals to introduce 100-level courses in both
comparative systems and economic development. We hav felt that staff
requirements and the limits to the extend of material in each of these

which could be covered in the absence of some theory courses,
make more feasible a general course which incorporates both areas.

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 theUniversity?
There are no similar courses outside of the Department
that centralize on introducing, the student to the
examination of the history, evolution,aspiratioris
ancl workings of the common law system of juris-
prudence generally and Canadian Law particularly.
Commerce 393 emphasizes the analysis of law confined
within commercial law contexts such as law of contracts,
agency, partnership, corporation law, negotiable
instruments etc., and because of the limitation of
time in that course, introduction into law generally
'K..;. iecessarily very limited and inadequate. The
'..cncept of Commerce 293 will be an attempt to identify,
raise and analyze socio-economic legal issues and the
-2-
attitude of society and its members in subscribing
to and practising the rule of law and the values and
limitations of our legal and judicial system with
emphasis on the analysis of Canadian law approach
to the rights, privileges, powers and duties between
individuals individually and collectively.
B. ?
What is the range of topics that may be dealt with
in the course?
The relationship between law and other sciences
such as economics, sociology, politics etc., the
necessity and nature of law; the scope origins and
history of law; the constitution and origins of
Canadian law; the formulation of law; control of
business by the State and vice-versa; courts and
lawyers etc. Generally, to stimulate the student
to dwell upon and digest basic socio-economic legal
issues and to examine the values and limitations of
the social forces which motivate law to change and
adapt.
C. ?
How does this course fit the goals of the Department?
•
The course would provide for greater liberalization
of the undergraduate program with a primarily
Canadian content. ?
The-course would broaden the
student's legal conceptual background and help equip
him with an appreciation of the struggles, goals and
frustrations of our legal system, so that his
criticism of the law will be on a more informed and
sophisticated level.
•
Also it should be noted that over the four years that
Commerce 393 has been available, 30-40% of the enrol-
ment in each Semester has consistently been made up
of students from without the Department of Economics
•
and Commerce. ?
Of times many other non-Economics and
Commerce students have advised that they were unaware
of the availability of any course in Law-at Simon
Fraser University. ?
."Law in the Economi ?
Society"
should not only be of value to the Department's
students, but the probabilities are that many students
from outside the Department will gravite to the
•
course, particularly if there
is
a calendar cross-
reference to the course in the General Studies portion
•
of the calendar.
D. ?
How does this course affect degree requirements?
No effect.
J-7
-3--
S
.
?
E. ?
What are the calendar changes necessary to reflect
?
the addition of this course?
It is suggested that this course be cross-listed
with the General Studies Faculty.
It might also be wise to add to the description in the
calendar for Commerce 393 some reference to the
availability of Economics and Commerce 293 and its
value as a background to Commerce 393.
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?
The demand is strong and the concept of the course
stems from many approaches by students who feel that
in
addition to Commerce 393 which is limited to
commercial law aspects, a fuller grounding in the
workings and aspirations of our legal system would be
desirable.
H. ?
Other reasons for introducing the course.
It is
submitted that all members of society
necessarily conduct themselves within some form of
legal system wherein the rights, powers, privileges
and duties between individuals individually and
collectively are constantly being examined, tested
and exercised with shifting emphasis.
?
To those
trained as technicians in the law, it is difficult
enough to accept that any given legal system can
not accomplish at all times for all persons, wise,
just, moral and currently acceptable results, struggle
as
.
it may. ?
It
is
probably therefore more difficult
for those not trained in the law to appreciate why
the law's struggle is sometimes-frustrated.
?
Perhaps
acoursethat examines the history, evolidion,
aspirations and workings of our legal system within
our economic society in a cultural "why
ft
is"
pursuit instead of a technical 'what it
is"
pursuit,
may give the scholar a better appreciation and
empathy for the law's frustrations as well as respect
for its accomplishments and goals.
?
With such
appreciation and empathy, such a scholar's criticism
may produce more mature and valid beneficial
influence on the evolution of law than otherwise.

our program.
