ii) Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies

u) Paper S.77-161 - Communication Studies Changes

The Chairman noted that Motion 2 of Paper S.77-161 was on the floor

at the time the meeting of December 5, 1977 had been adjourned. Following

some discussion on the propriety of considering a motion which presupposes

approval of courses detailed in a succeeding motion, it was

Moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by K. Okuda,

"That consideration of Motions 2, 3 and 4 be

postponed until after consideration of Motion 5."

Question was called, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

Moved by P. Buitenhuis, seconded by T. Calvert,

MOTION 5. "That the proposed new courses in Communication,

as set forth in S.77-161, be approved and recom-

mended to the Board for approval. Specific new

courses are

• Communication in Organizations

• Directed Study

- Special Topics in Communication - A."

Note: Initial departmental assessments of library holdings suggested

that, together with departmental document collections, sources

would be adequate to support proposed new courses and revisions.

Further review by librarians has identified periodicals (including

back files) which would require an additional allocation of $4,000

or $5,000.

Questions of course overlap and program overlap were discussed in

SCUS. Two courses have not been forwarded because they require

further examination of the question. One course, 402-5 (Communica-

tion in Organizations A Systems Perspective) was considered in

some detail with a Commerce faculty member present and was

recommended after the following points were raised:

- 3 -

S.M. 12/12/77

. 1. Some of the instructors in the Organization Behavior courses

in Commerce thought there might be as much as forty to sixty

percent overlap between these courses and CMNS 402.

The Communication course (402) utilizes texts written from a

Communication perspective by organizational behaviour scholars

who are members of Communication departments.

Even if Communication students were required to take two Commerce

courses they would still lack half or more of the content required.

Further consultation between Commerce faculty and Communications

faculty had revealed that specific overlap between CMNS 402-5 and

a Commerce course was limited to two of thirteen weeks.

There was general agreement that greater advance consultation was

desirable.

Questions of more general program overlap were discussed as they

related to the teaching of cultural anthropology, political

• economy and psychology within a Department of Communication. The

nature of a field such as Communication is that scholars bring

the perspectives and methods of a variety of social science disci-

plines to bear on problems and issues in Communication and care

must be taken not to set up a mini-social sciences faculty within

the Department but rather to require students to enrol in social

science departments for basic, foundation work and in Communication

•

for work specifically oriented or applied to that field. The

following should be noted:

CMNS 360-4 (Fundamentals of Communication Research) is not being

recommended until questions related to the appropriate location of

basic statistics courses and social science research design courses

have been further considered.

CMNS 445-5 (Communication and International Development) is not

being recommended until potentially undesirable overlap with

Political Science has been further considered.

CMNS 324-3 (Intrapersonal Processes: Psychosocial Dimensions)

which has been omitted from Motion 6 was referred back because the

course description was unclear but SCUS also noted that it appeared

to be a course in the psychology of learning and development. This

raised the overlap question as did CMNS 424-5 (Intrapersonal Processes:

Cognitive Dimensions), included under Motion 6.

Finally, in recommending approval of fourteen new courses, SCUS

observed that this represented a net increase of somewhat fewer

courses since several courses are recommended for discontinuation.

Moved by A. Arrott, seconded by E. Wells,

"That Motion 5 be divided to consider the courses

ad seriatum."

Question was called on the motion to divide, and a vote taken.

MOTION TO DIVIDE CARRIED

17 in favor

- 4 -

S.M. 12/12/77

A. Arrott stated that CMNS 120-3 had been split into two parts to

represent two aspects and he felt a little more thought should have gone

into the rewriting. H. Lal received confirmation that CMNS 100 would

remain in the curriculum until the new course is available in Fall 78-3.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 120-3, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

With reference to CMNS 130-3, W. Melody explained that a decision of

the Department had not yet been finalized as to whether a term project

would replace .the current requirement.fora final examination. A. Arrott

commented on the paucity of the readings proposed on the course outline

, and

W. Melody assured him that the text is supplemented by a series of readings

each time the course is taught.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 130-3, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

Question was called on approval of CNNS 210-3, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

J. Wyatt asked for clarification of the title and content of CMNS 222-3

and W. Melody responded that the reference was to North American cultures.

•

A. Arrott complained that the presentation was sloppy and J. Hutchinson

found the outline confusing. B. Palmer enquired as to the costs of texts

and was informed the first two listed were less than $3 each. P. Buitenhuis

suggested the documentation required rewriting.

Moved by B. Wilson, seconded by A. Arrott,

"That the course be approved subject to wording

changes satisfactory to the Chairman of SCUS

and the Registrar."

Question was called on the revised motion for CMNS 222-3, and a vote

taken, having clarified that there was concern about the wording in title,

description, and course outline. (Note:- These changes were made and the

title is "Communication and Cultural Context.") MOTION CARRIED

W. Melody stated that CMNS 304 would not overlap with CMNS 303 as the

latter course description had been revised.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 304, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

GINS 310 precipitated a number of questions regarding the nature of

discussions with other departments, competency of instructors, workload,

content and overlap, required texts and their cost. K. Okuda emphasized

the potential for overlap difficulties with the necessity for careful

scrutiny at the point where an interdisciplinary course may come into

conflict with a course or courses of one or more disciplines. J. Hutchinson

enquired as to what special requirements would need some four weeks in this

course about Marx. J. Wheatley considered some of the line of questioning a

regrettable display of narrow prejudices.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 310, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

W. Melody explained that CMNS 361 involves the undertaking of actual

documentary research of materials made available by members of the Depart-

ment in addition to other resources. In response to a query, J. Hutchinson

felt there was some possible overlap in historical methods and historiography

but that it was not significant.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 361, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

F. Cunningham drew attention to the Rogow memo comments, and K. Okuda

to page 4, Motion 5, item 4, and it was

accepted that the statement was

incorrect. W. Richards maintained that the approach of

CHNS

402 differed

significantly from that of the Economics and CommerceDepartment in that

communication rather than resource allocation was the focus and he was of

the opinion that the overlap ranged between 30% and 60% depending on the

viewpoint. K. Okuda suggested COMM 270 appeared to be a suitable prerequi-

site for the study of organization and organizational theory. T. Calvert

observed there were some potential overlap difficulties but that attempts

to overcome these would require a great increase in the credits normally

needed for a degree, and that there was different emphasis.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 402, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

A. Arrott commented that the course description of CMNS 410 had been

carried a little far.

Question was called on approval of CNNS 410, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

It was determined that the variation of credits available for the

four Directed Studies courses provided necessary flexibility and that

entry to a particular Directed Studies course required approval of the

Chairman. One or more written projects are specified for grading by a

faculty member.

Question was called on approval of CMNS 480, 481, 482 and 483, and

a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

Question was called on approval of CMNS 486, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

It was agreed to consider next Motions 6 and 7 in that order.

For

331-5

and 333-3 the prerequisite is changed

to "cMNS 230-3" from "cNNS 230-3

strongly recommended." (*Note:

The motion

sheet incorrectly listed this as

320-3

rather than 320-5.)

Note:

With several of these courses SCUS

addressed the question, "When is a

•

revision really a new course?"

Some

the

of the revisions are intended only

description and some are intended

to bring greater clarity to

course

to rationalize the numbering of course

sequences.

Others, however,

represent much more extensive revision and might properly be considered

new courses.

GfNS 324-3 (Intrapersonal Processes: Psychosocial Dimensions)

-7-

S.M. 12/12/77

could fall within this category. It has, however, been referred

back on other ground. CMNS 362-3 (Field Methods in Communication

Research) initially appeared to be a new course but members of

SCUS accepted the position that the revision was primarily a

clearer specification of the content of the previous CMNS 332-3

(Problems and Techniques in Social Documentation).

Arrott complained that many of the proposed changes were far from

minor, that the documentation represented a draft which was insufficiently

complete, that it should not have been presented in its existing form to

Senate. D. Birch, as chairman of SCUS, described the concerns held by a

number of members and indicated that in response to intensive questioning

by that Committee that many concerns had been fully satisfied either through

documentation or statements made, and responded specifically about the former

332 versus the new 362 course. W. Melody explained that in this case the

intent was to provide a descriptive title and content of the course as it was

actually being taught.

Wilson had reservations regarding the courses 498 and 499 which

carry full semester credit of 15 or 18 hours for group or individual re-

search.

An amendment was moved by B. Wilson, seconded by E. Wells,

"That a prerequisite statement be specified for

MNS 498 and CMNS 499 relating to upper division

course completion including CMNS courses, in-

volvement of at least three faculty members in

the evaluation, and a contract relating to content

and grading procedures."

T. Calvert agreed that stipulations similar to those in the current

calendar relating to G.S. 499 should be adopted.

Question was called on the amendment, and a vote taken.

AMENDMENT CARRIED

Question was called on Motion 6 as amended on the understanding

change would be made, and a vote taken."'.

number. As Senators will recognize many of the above courses re-

appear under a new number.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

The assembly then returned attention to Motion 2 on which there had

been some discussion on December 5.

MOTION 2. "That the proposed revision in requirements for a

Major in Communication, as set forth in S.77-161, be

approved and recommended to the Board for approval."

H. Weinberg expressed concern that the requirements for a Major could

be met through only 8 :credits taken in regular Communication courses and a

combination of 10 in Special Topics and 10 in Directed Studies courses, but

W. Melody stated that the safeguard was in the undergraduate advising system.

H. Weinberg, seconded by K. Okuda, proposed, "That Motion 2 be tabled until

there is reconsideration of the requirement for the Major." There was dis-

cussion as to whether the intent was to table or to postpone, and the

tabling motion was withdrawn when

An amendment was moved by B. Wilson, seconded by T. Calvert,

"That Majors must have a minimum of 45 credit hours

in courses numbered 300 and above, of which at least

28 hours must be selected from Communication courses

or areas approved by the Department, with not more

- 9 -

S.M. 12/12/77

than 15 credit hours for Special Topics and/or

Directed Studies courses."

A. Arrott spoke against the amendment, stating that requirements

should not be revised by Senate but should be referred back to the De-

partment; the proposed amendment ruled out opportunities for taking

special topics courses directed by distinguished visiting professors; and

students would be limited in selections for study. These arguments were

opposed by the Chairman of Communication Studies.

Question was called on the amendment, and a vote taken.

AMENDMENT CARRIED

24 in favor

Question was called on Motion 2 as amended, and a vote taken.

(Note: The principle would apply also to Honours, i.e. 18 credit hours.)

MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED

MOTION 3. "That the proposed revision to requirements for

Honours in Communication, as set forth in S.77-161,

be approved and recommended to the Board for approval."

•

It was noted that a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above

was required for entry and must be maintained for continuation in the

Honours program, and the entry will be corrected.

Question was called on Motion 3, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

MOTION 4. "That the proposed revision to requirements for

a Minor in Communication, as set forth in S.77-161,

be approved and recommended to the Board for approval."

The Secretary noted that 14-18 hours in upper division courses was

the standard Senate regulation for all Minors.

Question was called on Motion 4, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED

F. Cunningham raised a question relating to an estimated $4,000 to

$5,000 allocation for library resources, and S. Thomas expressed the

opinion that there was concern that the budget could not be stretched to

meet the requisitions for new subscriptions. B

Some Senators felt the motion was gratuitous, and others expressed

the opinion that it was entirely out of order. An amendment proposed by

J. Wheatley, seconded by R. Hobson, "That 'the Department of Communication'

be replaced by 'every department,'" was withdrawn.

M. Bowman and C. Crawford were on hand to support the proposal on

behalf of the Department of Psychology.

In response to a question raised by R. Hobson relating to estimated

start up library costs, N. Bowman stated that the sum of $8,000 for back

files of journals should fill the gaps which exist in current collections,

and approximately $20,000 was estimated to cover the expense of acquisition

of monographs. She felt that the core courses could be offered with exist-

ing library holdings. The interim budget had been prepared at the request

of Universities Council following the filing of a letter of intent with the

Program Coordinating Committee.

S. Thomas commented that the proposal was a major departure and a new

direction which had not been discussed in the context of the planned develop-

ment of the University and she was concerned that it appeared that the

•

Universities Council had taken over the academic planning of this institution.

B. Wilson explained that it was necessary to provide advance notice of inten-

tions with the Universities Council following departmental approval but the

Council would not consider any proposal until Senate approval had been received.

Moved by N. Mackauer, seconded by L. Resnick,

"That Paper 5.77-168 be referred to the Senate Committee

on Academic Planning for its consideration."

The Chairman confirmed that the proposal had been submitted to the pre-

vious Academic Planning Committee when the theory had been discussed, but

the present Senate Committee on Academic Planning had not been consulted.

It was ascertained that a meeting of SCAP could be convened to consider the

matter and report to the January meeting of Senate and still meet the dead-

line of January 15 for submission to Universities Council.

Question was called on the motion to refer, and a vote taken.
