LEARNING OUTCOMES
RATIONALE
IAT 265,as a second year computer programming course (and designated Quantitative course), uses knowledge and skills from math courses in
programming assignments.
Additionally, while math is a SIAT requirement, SIAT BA students tend to avoid taking math until near graduation and then run into problems. While MATH
130 is prerequisite to IAT 343, and MACM 101 is a prerequisite for IAT 455, these courses are not required for all SIAT students. Making the math course
pre-requisite to IAT 265 ensures that all IAT students complete a math-based course by the end of their second year.

Atthe SCUS meeting of February 2, 2012, the course numbers of courses now offered only as W courses
(223 and 253) were eliminated. Following from those changes, the School of Communication UCC would
like to propose blanket changes to the pre-requisites for upper division courses as follows.
• Formerly, 223 was listed as a pre-requisite for CMNS 304W, 320, 323W, 324, 332, 348, 363,
423, 424, 452. Now 223 or 223W willsatisfy that requirement.
• Formerly, 253 was listed as a pre-requisite for CMNS 348, 353, 354, 362, 446
(recommended), 454, 455, 456, as well as a new course, 356. Now 253 or 253W willsatisfy
that requirement.
Note: Although they are no longer offered at SFU, we propose to continue to list the non-W course
number, at least for the time being, in order to ensure that students who have already taken the course,
either here or in articulated form at a another college or university willnot run into problems with their
enrolment in upper division courses.
Would you please bring these blanket changes forward to the FCAT UCC?

Effective term and yd
Rationale:
The Production and DesignArea of the School for the Contemporary Arts is
removing six courses from their offerings and increasing the credit hours of existing
courses to accommodate the balance of course work. The content ofthe six
practicum courses the Production and Design Area is removing coincides with six
production ensemble courses. The ensemble courses involve training in skills
related to technical support for the range of disciplinary productions produced in
the SCA and include in-depth theoretical and practical exploration of stage
management, staging, audio and lighting for theatre, dance and music production.
The practicum courses involve the application of these skills working on
productions. The Production and Design area proposes to include the practicum
requirements in the ensemble courses and increase the credit hours to the ensemble
course from 3 to 6. Essentially,the workload that was taken in two separate courses
will now be integrated into one.
This change will simplify the structure of the SCA Production and Design Area and
create a stronger relationship between skill development and practice within the
pedagogy of technical theater.

Course Outline: FPA 388 Film Music

Film Music:
An Overview of the Relationship between Music and
Moving Pictures
Precis:
Cinema has never been silent. From the Lumiere family's first public
screening at the Grand Cafe in Paris on Dec. 28, 1895 to the present,
"moving pictures" have used music to influence and shape the viewer's
experience. Due to the predominance of the visual mode in Western
culture such manipulation is rarely noticed by the spectator and thus
film music is often experienced but not heard.
This course intends to address this cultural bias by focusing upon the
soundtrack and the music score. We will survey the history of sound in
cinema, examine various film genres, time periods, and styles, analyze
specific films, and study a few selected composers and directors. We
will also touch on our definition of film music to include television,
computer applications, video, music video, games, etc., in order to
gauge the impact that music combined with moving pictures has in our
lives.
Content:
The course is structured as a series of 13 lectures illustrated
extensively with video clips, slides and music examples.

Over the past several years, a numberof SCA majors have pursued directed
studies in which they volunteered for a local arts organization, apprenticed with a
local company, or participated in a community project.
Placements for these projects are arranged through faculty contacts, SCA
partnerships in the community and programs like SFPIRG'sAction Research
Exchange. These projects include apprenticeships with professional performing
companies, extended projects for organizations such as researching its history
and constituency; researching policy; interviewing constituents and artists in
order to develop policy; funding research; helping with installations; building web
sites, and making videos.
This course is supervised as a directed study. In each case a professor
evaluates the students performance in consultation with the organization,-^
most-eases Students are required to write a research essay about the project. */
These placements have been popular with our students and have given them
invaluable experience that often leads to jobs in the nonprofit arts sector.
Formalizing these projects will give the student credit by allow them to appear on
the students transcripts.
Effective term, year: January 2013
