7. CONCLUSION

APPENDIX I Report on the Use of the NP Grade 18 Nov. 2011 CCUAS struck a task force to examine the inconsistent use of letter grades or codes. The task force included Larry Gauthier, Cameron Louis, John Metcalfe (chair), Allan Patenaude and Heather Ryan. After reviewing the issues, the committee concluded that the NP grade merely needed more pointed definition to allow its use in the manner that some have adopted. The committee concluded there was no significant need for the introduction of new letter grade or codes. The recommended revision to the definition follows in the motion below.
MOVED THAT the definition of the NP grade or code be replaced with the following:
A grade of NP is assigned when a student fails to write the final examination. NP is assigned when a student has abandoned a course without formally withdrawing or when a course is dropped after the last day to receive a W. In addition to these uses, it is also assigned when a student fails to complete (or fails to complete successfully) an essential portion of the course, if this condition is specified in the syllabus. That is, it is used when too much work is missed, or is completed in an unsatisfactory manner, just when those requirements are precisely defined and tied to the assignment of an NP. An NP is a failing grade and is treated as 40% in the calculation of a student’s GPA. When a letter grade is not assigned, the actual numerical grade earned should be entered. 40 should not be substituted for the actual earned grade.
Rationale: Our disparate understanding of the NP grade apparently stems from various interpretations of the current definition. This new definition will allow the current uses, but will also remind instructors to inform students about the conditions on that use. All of which is respectfully submitted.

APPENDIX II
Date: 23 November 2011 To: B Liski, Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies From: K O’Brien, Program Co-ordinator, Faculty of Arts Re: Report from Faculty of Arts Council to the Council Committee on
Undergraduate Admission and Studies
I ITEMS FOR INFORMATION
The Faculty of Arts approved the following new and revised courses and offers
them for information.
A. New Courses
1. Department of Sociology and Social Studies
SOC 218 3:3-0
The Sociology of Hockey in Canada
An examination of hockey in Canada, exploring the relationships between
hockey and social inequality, the economy, violence and Canadian
nationalism. Central to Canadian popular culture, hockey extends far
beyond the rinks and streets on which it is played into the social, cultural,
economic, and political realms of Canadian society.
***Prerequisite: Completion of 12 credit hours or SOC 100 or permission
of department head. ***
*Note: SOC 100 is required for all majors in Sociology*
Rationale
This course will allow the Department of Sociology and Social Studies to address an
issue that has become closely associated with Canadian identity and values. Although
other courses within in the Department could include discussions of hockey in Canada at
the present time none are able to address hockey in a direct and detailed manner. This
4
APPENDIX II course will be an attractive elective to Sociology majors as well to other departments and
faculties. Considering the popularity of hockey in Canada it would not be surprising to
see this course receive a large following. Similar to other service courses offered by
Sociology, this course could fill a similar role in faculties and departments such as, but
not limited to, Kinesiology and Health Studies, Social Work, Education, Business
Administration and Journalism.
B. Revised Courses
1. Department of International Languages
GER 462 3:3-0
German Literature Since 1945
20th Century Literature (1945 to the present)
This course examines developments in German-language poetry, drama,
and prose fiction since 1945, a period that extends from the
“Trümmerliteratur” of post-WWII to the present day.
Introduction to contemporary 20th century literature, including poetry,
drama and the novel. A number of significant writers such as Boll,
Durrenmatt, Lenz, Grass, Frisch, Bachmann and Wolf will be selected.
*** Prerequisite: GER 250 and 300, or permission of Department ***
Rationale
The change in course title and description is a house-keeping measure that updates the
course. The original intention of German 462 was undoubtedly to provide a course about
the most recent German literature, with WWII as the most significant cultural caesura.
The changes simply reflect the fact that we are now beyond the 20th century.

APPENDIX III
FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Date: November 21, 2011
To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies (CCUAS)
Re: Report from Faculty of Business Administration Council
ITEM FOR APPROVAL
The Faculty of Business Administration submits and offers for approval the following item which was
approved by the Faculty of Business Administration Council.
Motion
Moved that, effective for Fall 2012 admission,
i. BUS 100 (Introduction to Business) be added to the list of core requirements of the BBA program
and that the eight BUS/ADMN electives be changed to seven BUS/ADMN electives;
ii. BUS 100 be added to the list of core requirements of the DipBA program and that the four
BUS/ADMN electives be changed to three BUS/ADMN electives;
iii. BUS 100 be added as a required course in the BBA Qualifying Program.
See Appendix A for Revised BBA and Revised DipBA programs.
Rationale:
The Faculty has supported the idea of a course for Business Administration students that would introduce
them to business organizations early in their program for some time. What follows is a brief review of the
recent history of curriculum development in the BBA program.
BUS 100 (Introduction to Business) was approved as part of the new BBA curriculum as an elective
course available to Excellence and Qualifying Business students. BUS 100 would provide students in the
BBA (and DipBA) program with an overview of organizations, management process, and the interaction
of fundamental functional areas that would be useful as they began their studies in 200-level BUS
courses. A survey of Canadian business/management programs showed that fifteen programs (63 percent)
include an introduction to business course (the course is required in 14 programs). The Faculty decided to
gain experience with BUS 100 as an elective course before making a decision whether to add it as a core
requirement.
BUS 100 was offered as an elective for Business Excellence and Qualifying students in Fall 2009 and
2010 and Winter 2010 and 2011. BUS 100 is currently offered in Fall 2011. Student response to the
course has been generally positive. Course evaluations are above average and most, although not all,
comments are positive. Faculty teaching BUS 100 report good experiences with the course.

APPENDIX IV
Date: Nov. 24, 2011 To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions & Studies From: Dr. Heather Ryan, Associate Dean, Student Services & Undergraduate Programs Faculty of Education
A. ITEMS FOR INFORMATION
1. ECS 350 3:3 – 6.5 4.5 (Attachment 1)
Pedagogy, Theory and Practices II (Secondary Program) This course continues the work begun in ECS 300. Prospective teachers will confront more complicated and complex issues as they plan, deliver and assess sophisticated instructional strategies in high school classrooms. This course will invoke all they have learned in prior ECS and subject area courses as part of their personal development into competent and socially aware beginning teachers. ***Prerequisite: ECS 300*** MOTION #1 That the two hour lab (with no credit hours attached to it) be removed from ECS 350.
Rationale: The two hour lab was a holdover from the delivery of the former EPS 350 class. The two hour lab supported the delivery of EPSY 350 which will no longer be offered after winter 2012.
2. EFLD 311 3:10–0 (Current course description) Teaching Experiences in the Pre-K to Grade 5 Classroom: Part 2 This course provides students with continued guided practice in planning, preparing, implementing and reflecting upon units of study in Pre-K to Grade 5 classrooms; with teaching time in Elementary classrooms; and with workshops related to anti-oppressive education and equitable practices in Elementary curriculum, instruction and assessment, as well as the ethical and legal roles and responsibilities of teachers. ***Prerequisite: Permission of the Program Chair and completion of EFLD 310.*** MOTION #2 a) That the course title of EFLD 311 be revised to Teaching Experiences in the Pre-K to Grade 8 Classroom: Part 2. b) That with the removal of the two hour seminar, EFLD 311 has been revised to reflect that it is now a designated field experience only, of 0 credit hours and 8 contact hours.
c) That the course description of EFLD 311 be revised as follows:
EFLD 311 0:8-0 (Attachment 2) (Revised course description) Teaching Experiences in the Pre-K to Grade 8 Classroom: Part 2 This course provides students with continued guided practice in planning, preparing, implementing, assessing and reflecting upon units of study in Pre-K to Grade 8 classrooms during teaching time in Elementary classrooms. ***Prerequisite: Permission of the Program Chair and completion of EFLD 310.***
10
APPENDIX IV
Rationale: As a result of EFLD 311 being designated a field experience only of zero credit hours, it was determined that the seminar component of two hours would no longer be required and the course description was revised to reflect the above change.
3. ECS 311 3:3 – 0
(Current course description) Pedagogy, Theory and Practices II (Elementary – Pre-K to Grade 9)
A continuation of ECS 301 which introduces students to education for social and ecological justice. Students will continue to critique existing assumptions and practices in schooling that contribute to the marginalization of some, and work with units of study and assessment methods that are more equitable for all students. ***Prerequsite: ECS 301 and one of EFLD 310 or EFLD 317***
MOTION #3 a) That the course title of ECS 311 be revised to Pedagogy, Theory and Practices II (Elementary, Pre-K to Grade 8). b) That EFLD 311 or EFLD 318 be added as co-requisite requirements. c) That the course description for ECS 311 be revised as follows: ECS 311 3:3-0 (Attachment 3) (Revised course description) Pedagogy, Theory and Practices II (Elementary, Pre-K to Grade 8) A continuation of ECS 301, this course provides guided practice in planning, preparing, implementing, assessing and reflecting upon units of study in Pre-K to Grade 8 classrooms with emphasis on anti-oppressive/socio-ecological education and equitable practices in curriculum, instruction and assessment. The ethical and legal roles and responsibilities of teachers will also be addressed. ***Prerequisite: Successful completion of one of ECS 301, EFLD 310 or EFLD 317.*** Rationale: This change is to ensure that ECS 311 instructors are cognizant of the need to address the technical aspects of teaching i.e. lesson planning, unit planning and implementation. EFLD 311 and EFLD 318 have been added as co-requisite requirements for ECS 311 as this course is correlated with the field experience requirement of pre-internship.
