MEMORANDUM

F£M^ ITL-Ola

To:

Duncan Knowler, Chair, Faculty of Environment Curriculum Committee

From:

Bob Muir, Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Chair, Archaeology

Re:

Dept. of Archaeology Undergraduate Curriculum Items for Review and Approval

Date:

March 28, 2012

At a recent (March 15, 2012) meeting of the Archaeology Department Undergraduate

Executive Committee the following Program/Calendar changes were proposed, discussed,

and approved.

Proposed Calendar Changes:

Archaeology Co-operative Education Program - Calendar and course

changes for Archaeology Co-op Program.

Notes: Paul DeGrace, Co-op Coordinator for the Faculty of Environment, has

proposed these calendar and course changes.

The intent is to make the

listings/requirements consistent with other Faculty of Environment Co-op

programs. Most substantively, we are eliminating the specific archaeology course

requirements and GPA requirement. Change forms for ARCH 350, 351, 450, and

451 are attached.

Archaeology Major Program - Revision of wording

Notes: The "Languages Other Than English" recommendation was deemed to be no

longer appropriate given that the lack of a second language is not a serious

impediment to students pursuing graduate studies in most aspects of archaeology

or biological anthropology. This deletion applies to all of the other programs listed

below, as well.

Addition

the the phrase "(prerequisite

for

Arch 376)" is intended to clarify the

relevance of the preceding recommended course list (i.e., "Stat 101, 201 or 203").

Archaeology Honours Program - Revision of wording

Notes: The introductory statement has been amended to alleviate ambiguities and

correct inaccuracies.

Arch 376 is to be deleted from the "Recommended Courses", as it is a required

course for the honours program.

Archaeology Extended Minor Program - Revision of wording

Notes: The lower division requirements were incomplete as listed, lacking reference

to the "any two of listing.

Also, since major restructuring of our curriculum last year, the comment regarding

special topics

and/or directed studies courses is no longer valid.

Proposed Course Changes:

ARCH 301-3 Ancient Visual Art

ARCH 350-3 Practicum I

ARCH 351-3 Practicum II

ARCH 376-5 Quantitative Methods in Archaeology

ARCH 450-3 Practicum III

ARCH 451-3 Practicum IV

We accordingly submit the revised program for your review and Senate consideration, as

needed. Pending approval, changes will be effective spring semester 2013.

Dear Duncan,

SCUS 12-27b

Please find enclosed a proposed change to the calendar entry for the Certificate in Environmental Literacy

to add the following courses to the groups indicated:

•

CMNS 349-4 Environment, Media and Communication (Environmental Management, Group C)

•

ENV 319-3 Environmental Law (Environmental Management, Group C)

•

ENV 320W-3 Ethics and the Environment (Social and Historical, Group A)

In development on the CEL these new courses were identified as appropriate but were not yet approved

by Senate and therefore could not be included in the CEL proposal. Senate has now approved all three

courses.

Please include these proposed changes in the agenda for the upcoming Faculty of Environment

Curriculum Committee meeting scheduled for April 12, 2012

Thank you,

Dan

THINKING fF THE W'jRLD

TO:

Certificate in Environmental Literacy

Faculty of Environment, Simon Fraser University Calendar 2012 Fall

The CEL addresses the need for undergraduate students from a broad range of disciplines to have a

basic understanding ofthe complexity and interdisciplinarity of environmental issues. It seeks to

introduce

students to physical, ecological, and social perspectives on the environment, with

emphasis on the functioning of physical and ecological systems and how human activities have

affected and are affected by such systems over time. Typically, the CEL will also provide students

with knowledge of environmental issues as they pertain to their own field of study.

The CEL will require students to complete a total of 21 units, comprised of 12 lower division units

and a minimum of 9 lower and/or upper division units depending upon electives taken. These

requirements include three introductory environmental courses (one physical, one ecological and

one social science); one course introducing students to the complexityand interdisciplinary ofthe

environment issues; and a minimum of 9 units of electives chosen from one ofthe three elective

groups.

Earned units may be applied the student'smajor or minor programs, and to abachelor'sdegree.

However, units earned in the certificate cannot be applied to anotherSimon Fraser University

certificate or diploma.

Students in the following environmental specialty programs will be ineligible to receivethe CEL:

Environmental Science major (B.Sc.)

Geography and Economics - environmental specialty major(B.A.)

Geography - environmental specialtymajor (BA)

Geography- environmental specialtyhonours (B.A.)

Program Requirements

Students complete at least 21 units, of which 12 units are required core courses and the

remaining nine units are selected from the one of the electives groups.

Students are responsible

for meeting the prerequisite requirements for courses used

tov/ard the certificate.

Core Courses

Students complete a minimum of 21 units, including all of

GEOG 319: Landscape Ecology

Instructor:

Meg A. Krawchuk

Calendar description:

Surveys major concepts oflandscape ecology, with a focus ondisturbance

dynamics (fire, insects) in terrestrial ecosystems. Emphasis given tothe interaction ofecological

process and pattern and to how landscape structure affects the abundance and distribution oforganisms.

Prerequisite: GEOG 215 or BISC 204.

Overview: Ecology is thescientific study ofthe interactions between organisms and their environment.

Landscape ecology isa sub-discipline ofecology that examines how the structure oflandscapes affects

processes that determine theabundance and distribution oforganisms. Itfalls inaninteresting middle

ground between local-scaled population orcommunity ecology and broad-scaled biogeography. Inthis

middle ground exciting ecological processes unfold and many land-use planning decisions are made.

Inthis course we will examine basic principles ofhow interactions between spatial pattern and

ecological process result in theheterogeneous landscapes we observe in natural and human-dominated

systems. Asa central theme, wewill focus onthe impact oflandscape-level terrestrial disturbances such

as wildfires and insect outbreaks ecosystem structure andfunction. We will address currentresearch

topics interrestrial landscape ecology as they apply to forestry, agriculture, resource management, and

conservation science, and learn to use some ofthe quantitative techniques valuable in asking landscape

questions. Traditional tools ofthe trade include GIS, simulation modeling, dendroecology, natural

history, and remote sensing.

The goals ofthis course areto examine the framework oftheory, research, analytic tools and

management that arisefrom the principles of landscape ecology. The course is intended for mid- and

upper-level undergraduates ingeography, ecology, environmental sciences, conservation biology, and

natural resources.

Major topics:

1. What is landscape ecology?

2. Scale and hierarchy

3. Causes of pattern

4. Quantifying pattern

5. GIS and remote sensing

6. Populations and landscape structure

7. Meta-population dynamics

GEOGRAPHIES OF GLOBAL CAPITALISM

Geography 321

This course examines the geography of capitalism. It focuses on the

spatial and social impacts of market function, firm structure and

operation, economic policy, and regulation and deregulation at various

scales from the local to the global. The course has two emphases: (1)

an introduction to the dominant theories through which capitalism has

been explained, defended, and criticized; and (2) the effects of

capitalist historical development on material spaces and places.

The principal objective is to develop an understanding of how

capitalism, as a distinct 

way in which to organize the political

economy of modern life, influences the geography of that modern life.

We will consider:

(a) the spaces it structures (international trading networks, for

example) and restructures (suburbanization on formerly agricultural

land, for example);

(b) the effect of dynamics flows of capital, good, and people, on

specific places like 'world cities' and 'dying small towns'; and

(c) the many scales capitalist dynamics help produce, and on which

they depend, like the nation-state, the 'global economy', and resource

'peripheries'.

* Wade, R. 2008. 'The first-world debt crisis of 2007-2010 in global

perspective', Challenge 51(4), 23-54 [via Library's e-journals]. 

EXPECTATIONS

1. Reading 

All readings are required. 

Approximately 50 pages each

week; must be read before class.

2. Writing Everyone will be writing two papers, one 'short' interview

(750-900 words) and one 'longer' research paper (2500 words). Your

work will be evaluated on (a) how well the paper is put together

(grammatically and structurally); (b) how well-researched it is; and

(c) how compelling and clear your account is. Everyone will also be

completing shorter written pieces, in class/tutorial or over email.

3. Talking and Listening If you are talkative, that is great, we only

ask you to be aware if you start to dominate. If you are the "quiet

type", you will have to try to overcome it in tutorial. In a tutorial

there is no difference between someone who does not do the reading and

someone who reads but does not participate.

4. Quizzes There are 2 quizzes (5-10 minutes long) during the course

of the semester. The quizzes are not scheduled. One will be given

before the Olympic break, the other after it. Quizzes are based on the

reading for that 

day, and on the lecture material from the class

immediately preceding it (i.e. from the week prior).

There are no make-up quizzes, no exceptions 

(but for documented

medical emergencies). If you are not there, that is your call, but

there will not be an opportunity to make up the 5% each quiz

contributes to your grade.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism of any sort will result in a grade of 0 (zero) on the

assignment; further disciplinary action is possible. 

It

is

your

responsibility as participants in university life to know what

plagiarism is, and never to plagiarize. 

If you have any questions, we

are happy to help figure out how to credit others' ideas

appropriately. If you are unfamiliar with the regulations, the SFU

library website does a great job of explaining what plagiarism is, how

to make sure you don't do it, and links to SFU policies:

GEOGRAPHICAL POLITICAL ECONOMY

Geography 421

Political economy is among the most powerful and most common

approaches to both human geography and economic geography

specifically. In factr as the most influential summary of the field of

economic geography put it in 2000, 'political economy is how economic

geography is now done'• This course offers an advanced consideration

of the burgeoning field of geographical political economy, from its

origins in the classical political economy of the 18th and 19th

centuries, through to the present. It focuses specifically on the

approach to political economy that has developed across the discipline

over the last 40 years, emphasizing (a) innovative theoretical work,

and (b) empirical studies of the role of the state, firms, and

workers. The discussion centres on the construction of both the spaces

in which these actors operate, and the opportunities and constraints

those spaces (and the connections between) present.

Geog 421 is an advanced seminar. Prerequisite: Geog 321 [proposed].

Course Outline Description

This seminar course explores the relationships between the development ofcities, transportation

and infrastructure from an economic geography perspective. City-regions and community life are

fundamentally shaped by transportation and infrastructure systems. Greater Vancouver, created

at the western terminus ofthe Canadian Pacific Railway, and now the site of significant gateway

expansion provides a location to explore, apply and critique the theoretical perspectives

presented in the course. The course will include a fieldtrip to locations in the Lower Mainland

currently affected by Gateway activities and infrastructure expansion. Topics include trade,

networks, flows and mobility, governance, community impacts, land use and economic

development. Students are expected to participate actively in class, and to write a paper about

some aspect of infrastructure or transportation development in an urban region.
