From
..........................................................................
Date ... .1.0.th.NOIth,l975
.
The following nine motions embody those recommendations
from the Department of Kinesiology which have been approved by the
Undergraduate Studies Committee of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary
Studies and by SCUS.
?
In each case the rationale is provided in
attachments forwarded from the Department and I have noted only a
few additional comments emerging from discussion in SCUS.

"That the Mathematics requirements for a Major in
Kinesiology, originally (a), be changed to (a) or (b):
(a) MATH 151-3 Calculus I
MATH 152-3 Calculus II or
is
?
MATH
MATH 154-3 Calculus for the Biological Sciences
MATH 155-3 Calculus II for the Biological Sciences
and that this change be made wherever it appears in the submission."
Note - The Department expects students to take the calculus courses
designed for Biology students, however, it does not wish to prevent
students from taking the regular
calculus
courses as an alternative,
particularly when those students wish to take upper levels Chemistry
courses for which the regular calculus courses are prerequisites.
MOTION 2
'That the Computing Science requirements for a Major in
Kinesiology be changed as follows:
Delete CNPT 100-3 (now CMPT 105-3) - Introduction
to Computing;
Add CMPT 142-1 - Computing Project - Kinesiology."
Note - It was explained that CMPT 103-3, currently required for a
major, provides the computing language background essential to
utilizing the computer, and therefore CMPT 100-3 (now 105-3), a
general course on computers, was not essential to the major.
CMPT 142-1, is a project course designed to provide a student with
. ?
an opportunity to apply the skills obtained in CMPT 103-3 to
an actual Kinesiology-related project.

M(VPTfl?%J I
"That there be a change in the wording of the course description
and the addition of a recommended pre-requisite for KIN. 100-3 -
Introduction to Human Structure and Function to read as follows:
This course provides an insight into the structure,
function and organization of the various systems of the

Material includes: the nervous system; structure and
function of muscle; the cardiovascular system; res-
piration energy metabolism; endocrinology and reproduction.
Recommended: A knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and
Physics to a grade Xl level."
Note - The course is an introduction to the major and not a general
interest course. Some entering students without sufficient grounding
in science have been finding it very difficult. The recommendation
is intended as an indication to students that a science background,
although not required, is highly recommended. (For rationale from
the Department see attachment D)

approved. Senate approved deletion of MATH 101 as a requirement of
Kinesiology majors last year. (For rationale from the Department

MOTION 7
"That a prerequisite be added for KIN. 496-3 - Directed
Study to read:
Consent of advisor. This is to be obtained before the
start of the examination period of the semester prior
to the one in which the student plans to register for this
course."
Note - SCUS engaged in considerable discussion regarding the difficulty
of making a directed study course maximally available to students,
providing opportunity for students to identify a research area while
faculty members are available, and meeting the deadlines for pre-
registration. The recommendation from SCUS had substituted the
words "is to be obtained" for "must be obtained" with the intent of
encouraging students to meet the stated deadline but protecting those
who cannot. (For rationale from the department see attachment H.)
MOTION 8
"That the prerequisite for KIN. 498-3 - Undergraduate
Research be changed from 'Consent of Chairman' to 'Honors standing
or consent of chairperson. Approval of the research project is to
be obtained before the start of the examination period of the semester
prior to the one in which the student plans to register for this
course.'"
Note - The wording was changed in SCUS from "must" to "is to" as in
the previous motion. It was noted that the reason for approval by
the chairperson is that the chairperson is more likely than another
faculty member to be consistently accessible. The words "honors
standing" were added on the grounds that this course is required of
a student in the honors program and such a student should not therefore
. ?
require additional approval to take it. (For rationale from the depart-
ment see attachment H).

In the last meeting of the Senate Canmittee on undergraduate Studies I was
instructed by the Commit tee to determine the answers to several questions
regarding the Kinesiology Calendar submission. The comments below are
intended to answer those questions.
KIN.
100-3 The prerequisite statement for
KIN. 100-3 was
intended to
indicate a secondary school competence in the sciences at
the Grade 11 level. The Calendar submission therefore
should be changed to "recommended: a knowledge of biology,
chemistry and physics to a Grade 11 level.
KIN.
326-3 It is not clear whethe
r
or not there has been consultation
•
?
with the Department of Bio-Sciences concerning this pre-
requisite change. I have asked the person who normally
teaches that course to consult with the Department of
Biology
concerning
this prerequisite change. He will
report back to us at a subsequent meeting.
KIN.
480-3 The deletion of Psychology from the prerequisite for
KIN.

was
an oversight. The prerequisite statement
should read ". . . not less than 45 hours of credit from
Science, Computing Science, Psychology, Economics and

The rationale for giving students the option of taking the Math
• ?
151, 152 series or the Math 154, 155 series was initiated by the Math
Department who have started a new series of courses specifically de-
signed for biology and kinesiology majors, namely 154-3 and 155-3.
However, it was felt that kinesiology students should still have the
opportunity to take Math 151-3 and 152-3 in case they want to go to
an advanced level in Chemistry for which these courses are necessary.

MATH
_154-3_ and
_155-3
Mathematics 154-3 and 155-3 are successors to the Biology Sections of
Mathematics 151-3 and 152-3. (For several years 151 and 152 were taught
in 'separate sections for biologists and for other people.) There is some
difference in content, and a larger difference in outlook between 151 and
152 on the one hand, and 154 and 155 on the other. I will try to make
these differences clear.
The main difference between 151 and 154 is that illustrative examples
for 151 come mainly from geometry and physics, while in 154 they come
mainly from biology. The calculus content itself is nearly identical.
There is perhaps slightly less theory in 154 than 151, bukithere's not
much theory in either one of them.
There are larger differences between 152 and 155. In addition to the
•
?
difference in sources of examples, some topics are covered in one course
but not in the other. In 152, infinite series is an important part of the
course; it is not covered in 155 at all, since it is of minimal importance
to biologists. In 155, an introduction to the calculus of functions of
several variables forms part of the course; this is missing from 152 but
is covered in 253, a course taken by biochemists, chemists, physicists,
and mathematicians later on. Differential equations are treated to some
extent in 155, but not in 152 since students in that stream can later take
310, a whole course devoted to their study. So 155 covers more topics less
thoroughly, and is an excellent choice for a student taking his or her last
calculus course.
I would not say that the courses are equivalent in the sense of inter-
changeability; if they were, we wouldn't need both of them. I would say
that they are equivalent in the sense that a student in the biological
sciences or in kinesiology can learn calculus appropriate to his or her
needs in either stream, with the 154/155 pattern somewhat better for most
such students since the examples are more familiar and the topics are more
useful for such students. I recommend that your requirement read something
like this: Mathematics 154 and 155 (151 and 152 are also acceptable in place
of 154 and 155). Students planning to take certain physics and chemistry
courses may find Mathematics 253 useful as well; 253 may be taken by students
in the 154/155 stream, but 151 and 152 constitute the best possible preparation
for 253.

COURSE CHANGES IN COMPUTING SCIENCE
C.
1.
Delete Computing 100-3 as a requirement for Kinesiology majors.
2.
Add Computing 142-1, Computing Project in Kinesiology.
The rationale for changing the computing requirements for the
Kinesiology program are:
1.
Computing 100-3 is an overview of the field of computing. It does
not give the students tools which they can immediately use.
2.
Computing 103-3 (presently required) plus Computing 142-1 (recom-
mended as an addition to our requirements) would give the students
adequate background to enable them to apply their computer science
knowledge to the field of kinesiology. This is the purpose of ha-
ving computing as a requirement for kinesiology majors.
3.
Those students who desire a wider overview of computing could still
take computing 100 as an elective.

KINES 100
Rationale for changing course description.
Course description has been altered to give a more precise descrip-
tion of the course content and is taken from the preface of the textbook
used. (There has been no change made in the actual course content or
textbook.) Previous description was considered too general and slightly
vague about the specific systems studied.
The rationale for introducing prerequisites for this course is
primarily to give students a better indication of the level of difficulty
of the course when trying to choose a program. This has only recently
become a problem due to a large increase in enrollment of Arts and
Education students. A proportion of these students have not appreciated
that this course has a respectable scientific content and were thus to-
tally unprepared for it. It is considered that by recommending pre-
requisites, this problem may be eliminated.

F.
The lab was written into the Kines. 330 course at a time when Kines. 407
(Human Physiology Laboratory) did not exist. The experiments which were done
in the lab section of Kines. 330 are now more appropriately dealt with in the
Kines. 407 course. We have tried substituting demonstrations (1 hr/week in
tutorial time) of more sophisticated equipment and techniques, than are
available for student labs, and consider that this offers a better learning
experience for a course of this type (usual enrolment 20-30).
.
S
KINES. 480
1W
Rationale for changing course prerequisite and course vector.
The Laboratory has been eliminated from this course on the
grounds that there is no Laboratory space available and insufficient
funds to purchase equipment. The Laboratory will be replaced by an
extended Tutorial period in which demonstrations, audio-visual pre-
sentations and field visits can be arranged.
The original prerequisites for this course are unnecessarily
restrictive and have been altered to make the course available to a
wide range of upper level students. Thus the umbrella requirement
of 90 semester hours of unspecified credit has been removed, 45
hours of credit from specified departments retained and 9 hours of
credits from specific courses in KIN, PHI'S, and MATHS added.

KINESIOLOGY 496-3 AND 498-3
?
H.
The change in the prerequisites for these courses is to add the
condition that students must select their advisers and topics prior
to the semester during which they plan to do Kinesiology 496 or 498.
It has been found that when students attempt to select and complete a
project during the same semester that a lot of valuable time is spent
on deciding on a topic and frequently not enough time or effort are
spent on actually working on the project.
.-
KIN. 442-3 Prerequisite Change
?
I.
The prerequisite change basically reflects the changes in
Computing Science and Mathematics requirements for the major in
Kinesiology. MATH 101 was deleted as a major requirement in 1975,
and it is not felt to be an essential prerequisite for this course.
.
.
13
.-
?
Minor Requirements
?
J.
The basic changes are:
KIN. 100-3 Introduction to Human Structure and Function will now be
required for the minor. This course is basic to the study of Kinesiology
(it is also a requirement for the major) and it is felt that all students
should take this course.
It was felt that to continue listing specific courses available for
the minor would be a confusing process. Under the new regulations students
can choose from the course offerings and are able to pursue a particular
interest. The requirement for at least 15 hours of upper division credit
remains unchanged.
