As one of our two introductory courses, CMNS 130 must lay a solid foundation of content
for upper level courses to build on. In the judgment of the instructors currently involved in
its delivery, the
'W' designation asks too much from the students at this introductory level
and diminishes their ability to cover tire required course content. The school still offers
CMNS 223 and 253 as lower level 'W' courses.

Rationale:
Rationale:
This course develops a critical overview of the contemporary debates about the
consumer society. This exploration of consumer culture begins by examining recent
characterizations of the psycho-social dynamics of consumption in consumer culture.
It goes on to trace the historical formation of advertising as a key cultural practice,
mediating the market transactions between producers and consumers. The marketing
communication model is the focus of a detailed examination of the increasingly
sophisticated co-ordination of communication and consumer research activities.
A
cultural-historical
examination
of
contemporary
advertising
practices
as
well
as
a
critical
exploration of their impact upon different aspects of the consumer society, such as children's
culture,
pharmaceutical
marketing,
globalization,
political
communication
and
new
media.
To bring description in line with current course content.
Prerequisite: 60 units inciuding two of CMNS 220,221,223 or 226. Strongly
recommended: CMNS 362 or 363.
Prerequisite: 45 units including two of CMNS 220,221,223 (or 223W), 226,230,
235,
or 240.
To include more of the courses that provide a foundation for studying advertising and
culture.
To reduce units required as a prerequisite, in line with our other 300-level

'W,,
course- CMNS 304W-4- to enable CMNS Majors to take their upper division ... W,, course
earlier, which wiU assist them with writing asdgnments for other courses in their degree.

NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
Credit Hours:

Course Title:
Environment, Media and Communication
Course Description (for Calendar). Attach a course outline to this proposal.
An examination of how media, culture and communication shape public opinion and behavior about environmental issues
such as global warming (un)sustainable resource use and pollution, with special attention to the impact of practices such as
advertising, public relations, science and risk communication, journalism and advocacy communication upon public
discourse about the environment,
and the role of dialogue and deliberation in mediating and resolving conflict over
environmental
issues.
Prerequlsile(s):
60 units, including at least one upper division course in CMNS, DIAL, EVSC, GEOO or BlSC. Or
written permission ofthe instructor.

--------------------------------------------
Special Instructions (if any):
---------------------
Course(s) to be dropped if this course is approved (if any):
Rationale for Introduction of this Course: Will this be a required or elective course in the curriculum? Probable
enrolment
when
offered?
Environmental communication
is rapidly emerging as a significant field of scholarship in the discipline of communication,
an area of interest for undergraduate students and an expanding field of employment for CMNS majors. The course will
also be of considerable interest to non-CMNS majors given SFU's identification of environmental studies as a key teaching
and research priority. The course has been identified for likely inclusion in the proposed Environmental Literacy
Certificate (championed by the Faculty of Environment) as well as providing elective credit for majors in the Faculty of
Environment.
Scheduling and Registration
Information. Indicate semester and year this course would be first offered and planned
frequency
of offering thereafter.
The initial offering of this course would be in Spring 2013. Once regularized, it would be offered once or twice per year.
Which of your present CFL faculty have the expertise to offer this course? Will the course be taught by sessional or
limited-term instructors? [list at least 2 faculty members]
Shane Gunster; Bob Anderson
Are there any proposed student fees associated with this course other than tuition fees?
No.
Does this cour.se duplicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that students should not receive
credit for both
course.~?
If
so.
plea.~e
specify.
The course has already been offered twice as special topics course twice: CMNS 388 (Summer 20 I 0); CMNS 388 (Spring
2011). It will also be taught as CMNS 388 in Spring 2012.
Ef[eetive date:

CMNS349-4
Resource Implications:
Note: Senate has approved (S.93-II) that no new course should be approved by Senate until funding has been committed
for necessary library
materials. Each new course proposal must be accompanied by a library report and,
if
appropriate,
confirmation thatfonding arrangements have been addressed.
Provide details on how existing instructional resources will be redistributed to accommodate this new course. For
instance, 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.
No additional library materials are required to accommodate this course as the library is currently acquiring resources on
environmental communication to accommodate existing faculty and grad student interest in the field.
The course has already been offered twice as a special topics course (CMNS 388) by regular faculty. Therefore we do not
anticipate any reduction in course offerings as a consequence of regularizing this course. It is expected that Gunster will
assume primary responsibility for offering this course in the future. In the past, Gunster had taught CMNS 323 twice per
year, as well as occasionally offering additional courses such as CMNS 410 and CMNS 431. Stephen Kline, an existing
faculty member, has agreed to assume responsibility for at least one section of CMNS 323 in the future. Rick Gruneau, an
existing faculty member, has primary responsibility for CMNS 410. A limited term instructor has assumed primary
responsibility for CMNS 431. This will allow Gunster to assume responsibility for CMNS 349 without reducing the
frequency of other courses.
Does this course require specialized space or equipment not readily available in the department or university, and
if
so,
how will these resources be provided?
No.
Does this course require computing resources? (e.g. hardware, software, network wiring, use of computer laboratory
space) and
if
so, describe how they will be provided.
No.

Pub 438: Design Awareness in Publishing Processes and Products
Course Description
This course facilitates students' development of an understanding and appreciation of skills,
approaches, attitudes, and theories related to creating effective publication design. Design has
long had a role in disseminating information and make it available to various publics or niche
groups. Although design,
usually in graphic and more recently audio/visual and interactive
forms,
has a special role in publishing, many of the forms of awareness and perception
required for effective design can be found In other aspects of publishing processes- product
development, acquisition, editorial, marketing and distribution phases.
In seminars and by presentations (verbal and audio/visual), students explore the technical,
practical, and theoretical aspects of design concepts within various publishing contexts such as
innovation, as well as design awareness and management. Further opportunity for the
students to engage in and experience the relationship of design to publishing, in both a
dlscipline~speciflc
and broader senses, is provided In constructivist approaches to assignments.
The ongoing course focus is
on the relevance, application, and integration publication design
awareness In a variety of social, organizational, business, and professional settings.
This course emphasizes cultivation
of design awareness or design thinking for effective
structuring, organizing and creating print and digital publications for business, institutions,
groups, organizations, users and readers.

Subject: Re: Library assessment for new course
Hi Rawly,
The Library has done a course assessment of Pub 438 Thinking about Publication Design and
found that the Library has the requisite materials for the course. There are some titles from the
bibliography that will need to be purchased but that will be done in due course.
As I'm
sure you know, as the course goes through the approval process there is paperwork that
will
need to be filled before going to SCUS.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Library assessment for new course
Dear Rawly,
This looks like a
great course. I have copied Todd Mundie, newly the head of Library Collections
Services,
with your request for a course assessment. His staff take care of this. I've also copied
Nina Smart as the liaison librarian for Publishing. I suspect that the SFU Library will have
material to support this course, given the design courses offered through the Interactive Arts
&
Technology program and other publishing courses.
Best wishes,
Sylvia Roberts, MLIS

HI Sylvia: I understand that I am to send this to you. We need a report from you with regard to
the holdings of the library and our ability to mount this course.
Could you please review it? I am hoping to take the course forward for a meeting of the faculty
undergrad committee next Thursday.

John
I think this is a solid proposal
that will complement SlAT's offerings. I would
advise
our students to take it to gain perspective on how other disciplines view
design
and because of its focus on a medium important to us at SlAT - publishing.
It does
not overlap SlAT's present or future offerings (as
I
can envision
them) because it is in
the publishing domain first and we have little expertise there
and
don't teach publishing.
It
is an example of a "rising tide that floats all ships".

CALENDAR CHANGE FORM
Description for the School for the Contemporary Arts major in Visual Art.
Rationale:
The Visual Art Area has already implemented an earlier application process for acceptance into
the Visual Art Major, and the calendar information is currently out
of date.
Instead
of having students apply to the Major after they have completed FPA 111, 160, 161, 168,
260, and 261, students are now asked to apply at the end of completing FPA 111, 160, 161, and
168.
FROM:
Entry to the program is granted after completion ofFPA 111, 160, 161 and 168 in the first
year followed by an application to FPA 260. Following the completion of FPA 260, 261 and
210, entry to the visual art major is granted based on an application. Both applications are
determined by grades and portfolio assessment, usually scheduled at the end of the spring
term.
TO:
Entry to the Visual Art Major is granted based on an application after completion of FP A
160,
161 and 168. Admission to the Major is determined by both grades and portfolio
assessment, usually scheduled
at the end of the spring term.

CHANGE
FORM
Honours program description for the School for the Contemporary Arts major in Visual Art.
Rationale:
The Visual Art Area has already implemented an earlier application process for acceptance into
the Visual
Art
Major, and the calendar information is currently out of date.
Instead of having students apply to the Major after they have completed FPA 111, 160, 161, 168,
260, and 261, students are now asked to apply at the end of completing FP A 111, 160, 161, and
168. The calendar description for the Honours program needs to clarify that the application into
the Major is not an application into the Honours.
FROM:
Entry to the program is granted after completion ofFPA 111, 160, 161 and 168 in the first
year followed by
an application to FP A 260. Following the completion of FP A 260, 261 and
210, entry to the visual
art major is granted based on an application. Both applications are
determined by grades and portfolio assessment, usually scheduled
at the end of the spring
term.
TO:
A Student must meet the requirements of a Visual Art Major to be eligible for the Honours
degree. Entry to the
Visual Art Major is granted based on an application after completion
ofFPA 160, 161 and 168. Admission to the Major is determined by both grades and
portfolio assessment, usually scheduled at the end of the spring term.
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.

These changes are being done to address a couple of issues:
IAT 333 assumes students have more skills in developing and presenting visualizations of
qualitative and quantitative data than are acquired in IAT102. Students will be better
prepared for IAT333 with skills acquired in IAT 235.
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.

Techniques in real-time audio digital signal processing appropriate for game development and
virtual environments are explored including interactive speech, music and sound effects. In
conjunction with a study of the theory of the interaction of sound with other media elements
students will have the opportunity to pursue interests in the design of sound for moving images
and the composition of dynamic, navigable and immersive aural settings embedded in 3D graphic

340 Sound Design
RATIONALE:
SIA T stopped offering two sound-related courses, IAT243 and
IAT340, as part of a major
curriculum revision about five years ago.
Some of the content and learning outcomes were folded
into other courses, specifically
lA T 100, lA T202 and a bit into IAT344. Experience since has
shown this did not adequately make up for the loss
of the two courses. Subsequently an upper
division special topics course (IAT
380) was developed and has been offered four times to date. Its
success warrants moving it into the IAT
340 slot. For a prerequisite, since IA T243 is not presently
offered,
IAT202
has
been added as "recommended" course. The course title has been simplified.
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.
