MEMORANDUM
•1
This is to request that the attached course number changes be approved-
in order to bring three General Studies courses into conformity with the
numbers for the new courses we are proposing.
.
. .
The numbering system we propose for courses in the Centre for the Arts is
as follows:-
•'.
All courses should have the area designation - Fine and Performing Arts
(FPA.), The disciplinary nature of the course should be indicated by the
middle digit
. .
1,2,3, or 4-00
General and appreciation courses
1,2,3,
or
4-10
"Context" courses, general and cross disciplinary
courses directly a part of programs
1,2,3,
or
4-20
Dance courses
1,2,3, or-4-30 Film courses
1,2,3, or 4-40 Music courses
1,2,3, or 4-50 Theatre courses
1,2,3,
or .4-60
Visual Arts courses
.
1,2,3,
or
4-70 Video and such other high-technology arts as may be
developed
1,2,3,
or 4-80
Cross-disciplinary courses on criticism
1,2,3,
or
4-90 Cross-disciplinary special studies
A single area designation seems most appropriate to the relatively small
program we envision, having integration of the arts among its central purposes.
At the same time this system appears to offer both sufficient flexibility and
sufficient definition for record-keeping and accounting purposes. We recognize
that changes in the program over time will mean that some numbers become inuse-
able, but we believe that 10 numbers per discipline per level should be adquate
for the foreseeable future, provided that reasonable flexibility Is maintained
in those course numbers not tied to a specific discipline.
.
In the near future, we plan to bring over into this s ystem
those courses speci-
fically in dance in the Department of Kinesiology and those arts courses now in
General Studies that we plan to maintain. Because of potential difficulities
in scheduling that may arise at this time of year, we believe these changes should
become effective January 1, 1977. There seems little need, however, to delay
the transfer of the three courses specifically designed as part of the arts
program that were first offered as General Studies courses in 76-1.
