NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
COURSE NUMBER:

CREDIT HOURS: 4
COURSE TITLE: Microeconomic Theory I: Competitive Behavior

LONG title for calendar/schedule: max. 100 characters including spaces/punctuation.
Microeconomic Theory I: Competitive Behavior
AND
b) SHORT title for enrollment/transcript: max. 30characters including spaces/punctuation.
Microeconomic Theory I
Indicate no. of credit hours: Lecture 3 /Seminar
/Tutorial 1 /Lab
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
3-4 lines max. (Attach course outline to proposal.)
Aspects of microeconomic theory involving competitive markets. Topics
include the behavior of households and firms, partial equilibrium analysis of product and
factor markets, and general equilibrium.
PREREQUISITE:
ECON 103and ECON 105; MATH 157. Students who have taken ECON 301 may not
take ECON 201 for further credit.
COREQUISITE:
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
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.
Course(s) to be dropped if this course Is appr^yecj (Note: Course Change/Deletion
form must be completed.)
This course replaces ECON 301, which will be deleted. However, we need to continue
to offer ECON 301 during a 2-year transitional period, and so have not yet submitted a
course deletion form for ECON 301. In the past 12 months, the Economics Department
has deleted two courses (BUEC 391, BUEC 396) and "mothballed" four more courses
(ECON 368, ECON 388, ECON 390, and BUEC 397), without adding any courses.
RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE:
We are moving our required
Z^-year
course ECON 301 to the second year (ECON
201). The intention of this change is to increase the analytical content of the second
year, give students a clearer signal of what will be expected in the third and fourth year,
and reduce the time gap between when moststudents take calculus and when they are
expected to use it. This change was extensively discussed at the December 2010
department retreat, and is one of the core recommendations of the department's 2011
External Review.
SCHEDULING AND ENROLMENT INFORMATION:
Indicate effective
term/year
course would first be offered and planned
frequency
of
offering thereafter:
This course will be offered every term beginning Fall 2012.
NOTE: There is a two-term wait for implementation of any new course.
Waiver required: Yes:
/ No:
X
Will this be a required or elective course in the curriculum?
Required.
What is the probable enrolment when offered?
120-150 students per term.
Which of your present CFL faculty have the expertise to offer this course?
Luelfesmann, Myers, Dow, Kessler, Karaivanov, Mongrain, and many others.
Are there any proposed student fees associated with this course other than tuition fees?
(ifso, attach mandatory supplementary fee approval form)
No.
RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS:
Note: No new course will be approved by Senate untilfunding has been committed for
necessary library materials (S.93-11). Each new course proposal must be
accompanied by a library report and, Ifappropriate, confirmation that funding
arrangements have been addressed.
Campus where course will be taugbj
Bumabv
Library report status
Complete: No Additional Library Resources Reouired
Provide details on how existing instructional resources
will be redistributed to
accommodate this new course. For example, will another course be eliminated or will
the frequency of offering of other courses be reduced; are there changes in pedagogical
style or class sizes that allow for this additional course offering?
We will be substantially reducing the frequency of our second-year elective courses.
Previously students were required to take two second-year ECON electives, now they
will only take one.
List any outstanding resource issues to be addressed prior to implementation: space,
laboratory equipment, etc.

Admission is limited. Entry is via a formal department application. Students may apply for
admission once ECON 103,105 and MATH 1S7 arc completed with at least a C grade in each
course and the minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is met.
On recommendation of the department and the Dean of Arts and Social Sciences office, the
University establishes a yearly quota to admit students to the major program based on
projected course space and department rosourcos. The department announces the minimum
CGPA below which students will not normally be considered.
Applications with appropriate documentation should be filed with the departmental advisor.

At least 31 upper division units in economics is required, including
BUEC 333-4 Statistical Analysis of Economic Data

and at least one 400 division ECON or BUEC course (excluding ECON 402,403,431 and 435,
BUEC 433 and 485).
Rationale: ECON 301 has become ECON 201. The number of credits has been adjusted because
ECON 301-4 has 4 credits while most ofour electives have 3 credits; 31 works out to exactly five
electives. Thegroup requirement has become obsolete and has been dropped for program
simplification; most courses on the list are offered infrequently and most students inadvertently
satisfythe requirement while satisfying their upper-division W requirement.

dropped for program simplification; most courses on the list are offered infrequently and most

Simon Fraser University Calendar 2011 - 2012
This program focuses and expands expertise in areas where archaeology and First Nations intersect. Joint
major students will gain insight into ancient and contemporary First Nations cultures in British Columbia
and North America and learn about Aboriginal perspectives on the contemporary world including First
Nations issues in archaeology, cultural heritage, resource management, government relations and land
claims. Students are trained in material culture studies, techniques and technologies to analyze the ancient
and historic past, ancient and modern artistic traditions, conservation and management of archaeological
and museum collections, and other public exhibits related to First Nations heritage. Students should plan
their program in consultation with First Nations Studies and Archaeology advisors.
