RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE:

Originally there was only one upper level Health Ethics course, HSCI 319W, cross listed

with PHIL 319. This course did not have philosophy prerequisites. FHS then

introduced HSCI320 with PHIL 120Was a prerequisite. This course is more congruent

with upper-level Philosophy courses in having a philosophy pre-requisite. Thus. we are

deleting PHIL 319 and introducing a new course number to be the upper-level course

cross-listed with FHS. Since Philosophy already has a course numbered 320, we are

using PHIL 327 as the number for this course. FHS has agreed to change HSCI 320 to

HSC1327. We are deleting PHIL 319 and creating PHIL 327 to be cross listed with (the

renumbered) HSCI 327.

SCHEDULING AND ENROLMENT INFORMATION:

Indicate effective term/year course would first be offered and planned frequency of

offering

thereafter:

A

version of this course is being offered Spring 2011 as a selected topics course. The

planned frequency thereafter will be approximately once per

5-6

semesters.

NOTE: There is a two-term wait for implementation of any new course.

Waiver required: Yes:

I

No: __

Will this be a required or elective course in the curriculum?

It is an elective course for the Philosophy major. If the proposed Joint Major between

Philosophy and FHS goes through. it will be a requirement of that Joint Major.

What is the probable enrolment when offered?

35

students

Which of your present CFL faculty have the expertise to offer this course?

This course is offered primarily by Jeremy Snyder in FHS. Holly Anderson in

philosophy also has the expertise to teach the course.

Are there any proposed student fees associated with this course other than tuition fees?

(if so, attach mandatory supplementary fee approval form)

No

RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS:

Note: No new course will be approved by Senate until funding has been committed for

necessary library materials (S.93-11). Each new course proposal must be

accompanied by a library report and, if appropriate, confirmation that funding

arrangements

have

been

addressed.

RATIONALE:

PHIL 319Wwas crosslisted with HSCI 319W, which had no philosophy prerequite. PHS has

recently created an alternative version of this course which has PHIL 120W as a prerequisite

(thereby putting it in line with all other PHIL 300-level courses). We are thus deleting PHIL

319W and replacing it with PHIL 327, which will be crosslisted with the new HSCI course.

If

this course replicates the content of a previously approved course to the extent that students

should not receive credit for both courses, this should be noted in the prerequisite.
