At its meeting of November 4th, 1975, the Senate
Committee on Undergraduate Studies took actions which result
in the following motions:
.armTrmT 1
That Senate approve a revision of lower level
course requirements for students who plan to major or minor
in Geography to include Geo.250-3.
M(VI

TCTh7 •)
That Senate approve prerequisite changes in the
Geography curriculum as set forth in the memorandum of 16th
.
?
October, 1975 from the Department Chairman to the Chairman
of the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee.
Note - It was stressed that the reduction from sixty to
thirty semester hours as a prerequisite for entry to upper division
courses was a way of ensuring a level of intellectual maturity
without impeding unduly the progress of a student who fulfills
individual course prerequisites at an early stage. A parallel
rationale was put forward for reducing from thirty to fifteen
the hours required for admission to 200 level courses.
MrmTr'M
That Senate approve a change in the vector of
Geo.111-3 - Physical Geography from 2-1-1 to 2-0-2.
MOTION 4
That Senate approve a change in the calendar
description of Geo. 250-3 - Cartography I to read "An
Introduction to the Interpretation of Maps and Air Photographs".
(The words "Geographical illustration, representation and
analysis of geographical statistics" are to be omitted.)

Geography Programme
In keeping with the spirit of the proposed changes in
the Faculty of Arts regulations, as well as with the logic
of the prerequisite requirements in a semester system, the
department not only changed its prerequisite structure but
also the number of hours required to enter 300 and 400 level
courses. The reduction from 60 to 30 hours was-agreed upon
as a way of ensuring a level of intellectual maturity without
impeding, unduly, the progress of a student who fulfills
individual course prerequisites at an early stage in his/her
programme.

OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
Maps are essential and characteristic tools of geographic study and are
both sources of information and a means of making geographic statements;
many kinds of geographic information are most succinctly expressed in
diagrammatic form, often in conjunction with cartographic reproduction.
The course will include practical work in the reading of maps, the use of
air photographs, the construction of simple maps and the presentation of
data by means of maps and diagrams.
Revising the prerequisite structure of Geography majors and minors to include
GEOG 250-3 will help to ensure that students acquire a familiarity with the
use and properties of maps.

COURSE OUTLINE
Cartography
General: Geography 250
is a first course in field surveying and cartography designed
to give students practical experience in all phases of map construction and inter-
pretation. The course will include instruction in theoretical and practical aspects
of field
surveying,
data presentation, map and aerial photograph
interpretation
and
elementary drafting techniques.

Organisation: The class will meet for a one hour
lecture each week.
In addition,
practical classes of 3-hour duration will be held on a weekly
basis.
The lecture
will be used to provide the.body of theory on which the practical work will be
bas.
• Practical work will Include set assignments and Is by far the more Important of the
two components of the course.
Grading: Grades for the course will be assessed as follows:
Practical assignments: 55 per cent
Mid-term examination: ?
25 per cent
Mapping project:
?
20 per cent
NOTE:_ There
will be no final examination.
Equipment: Students must obtain the equipment listed on the outline to be distributed
at the first lecture.

made to the North American landscape. In particular, the landforms and ecology of
British Columbia have to be interpreted in the light of Pleistocene events. The
course will be of value to students in Archaeology, Biology and PDP.
