At its meetingof 10April 2012, the Department ofPolitical Science approved the attachedcalendar change forthe courseprerequisites for POL201.The details are includedin theattached material.

The changeis intended to prunethe list ofprevious courses which preclude a student from takingPOL 201 forcredit. POL 213 was a predecessor courseto POL201, but it was last offered solongagothat POL 201 has evolved andbeenupdated sufficiently foranyreturning formerstudent to benefit from taking POL 201. SA 255 used to be a course that we allowed as analternative to the quantitative methods requirement for POL majors,but this is no longer thecase. As a result we believe that those who have taken SA 255 should now take POL 201 (or IS240) for credit as part of the POL major.

Would yoube kind enough placethis material on the agenda ofthe next meetingofthe FacultyofArts and Social Sciences Curriculum Committee?

NEW COURSE PROPOSALS

BACKGROUND:

TheSFU-Zhejiang University (ZU)Dual Degree Program (DDP) in Computing Science offers uniqueopportunities for students to study and acquire degrees intwo universities. Mandarin Chinese isanessential partof the program, providing required language skills to live and study in China.

According to the Chinese language proficiency requirement setby China's Ministry of Education, andZU'sadmission standard for international students, SFU DDP students are required to reach Level 4 on the HSKChinese ProficiencyTest in order to acquire a degree from ZU.

SFU students enter theDDP program from a variety ofbackgrounds, non-heritage and heritage. They exhibit arange of Chinese proficiency, from basic beginners to fluent speakers. Therefore, twoseriesof ninecourseshave beendeveloped anddelivered in response to the distinct language learning needs of the students.

In addition, thesecourses complement andextend theexisting Chinese language courses at SFUby offeringintensive option and heritage course option.

COURSES:

Courses for non-heritage students:CHIN 180-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners ICHIN 181-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners IICHIN 280-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners IIICHIN 281-3 Intensive Mandarin Chinese for Beginners IVCHIN 182-3 Mandarin Chinese Conversation

Courses for heritage students:CHIN 190-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese ICHIN 191-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese IICHIN 290-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese IIICHIN 291-3 Heritage Mandarin Chinese IV

CHIN 180set courseshavebeen offeredas Special Topic courses since fall 2005. CHIN 190set courseshavebeenoffered as Special Topiccourses sincefall 2007. WithSFU's commitment to the SFU-ZU DDP program,as wellas thegrowing demand of Chinese courses on campus, it is timely and important to grantthesecoursesregular status.

RATIONALE for Intensive Mandarin Chinese courses for non-heritage beginners:

1. Support the SFU-ZU Dual Degree Program

In order for non-heritage SFU DDP students to be successfulin meeting the languageproficiencyrequirementof the DDP program, anintensive learning experience is required. Students with no prior knowledge of Chineseare required to complete the five courses listed above (altogether 15credits) at SFUbefore theybegintheirstudy at ZU. These courses provide students witha comprehensive and fast-pacedstudy experience to improvetheir listening, speaking,reading and writingskillsin Chinese language in two semesters, and preparethemforfurther Chinese immersion courses at ZU.

To date, the success rate ofpassing HSK4 is 100%. Allthe SFU DDP students who have undertaken theintensiveChinese courses have achieved the requiredChineseProficiency level, and some even reached ahigher standard.

2. Support SFU's StudyAbroad Exchange program to China

Thissuiteof courses is opento all SFU students; hence they attract students who plan to spendone or twosemesters on an exchange program in oneof SFU'spartner universities, suchas Tsinghua University, ZhejiangUniversity or National Taiwan Normal University. Theintensity ofthecourses provides students with thenecessary language skills andcultural knowledge, aswell asover-all confidence to participate effectively intheexchange programin a short periodof time.

3. ExpandSFU's Chinese language offerings

CHIN 180,181,280,281 are the only intensiveChinese coursesofferedat SFU. CHIN 182is the only courseon campus focusing on speaking skillfor non-heritage students. These courses complement theother Mandarinlanguage courses on campus, which provide non-intensive courses for beginners. The intensive suite of coursesrecognizes the clearinterests of students in fostering connection with China, andallows them to build basiclanguage skills quickly in order to function successfully in Chinese environments.

RATIONALE for Heritage Mandarin Chinese course:

1. Support the SFU-ZU Dual Degree Program

DDP has attracted Chinese heritage students since the very first cohort.The majority ofthe students in thisgrouphavean imbalance in theirChineselanguage skills. Theyhave a strongverbal communication capacity,and a very limitedknowledge ofwritten Chinese. The HeritageMandarinChinese Courses are designed for thisgroupofstudentsto improve their communicative competence, especially in reading and writing. Studentsachieve satisfactory results in their Chinese Proficiency Test with the help of these courses.

2. Expand SFU's Chinese languageofferings

SFUhas a significantChinese heritagestudentpopulation. The Heritage Mandarin Chinesecoursesmeet theirlanguage learning needs. Therefore, the courses havehad strongenrolment since they were first offered to allSFU students in 2008. For example, all the four courses got full class (25 students) from fall 2008 to spring2010. CHIN 290 and 291 usually have students in wait list for enrolment.

Together with the non-heritage Mandarin Chinese courses(CHIN 100-201),SFU now offers a comprehensivearray ofChinese courses for students with various ethnic backgrounds, language levels and learningexperiences.

RESOURCE:

The School ofComputing Science has committed its support for the SFU-ZU DDP program as well as theselanguagecourses. A continuingfull time DDP Chinese languagelecturerposition has been created in theSchool since May 2011.

RE Deletion of B-Hum designation for EXPL 145W

DATE May 30, 2012

TIME 12:02 PM

The Explorations Program has formally re^e^dremovaroftte B-Humdesignation attached to EXPL 145W, ef^ctive Fall 2012 term."}The programhas indicated that due to the Special Topics natureof the course,and the change in instructors over time, the course is no longer consistentlyoffered with a Humanities focus, but has shifted lately to Social Science.Rather than constrict the content with a specific B type, the program wouldprefer to focus on the W pedagogy, no matter the instructor or course content.

Based on this rationale, the University Curriculum Office approves the removalof the B designation for EXPL 145W. The Explorations Program offers otherB-Hum and B-Soc designated courses within its course list.

FASS Associate Dean Paul Budra has approved the program's request.
