March 11, 2011 To: Senate From: Peter Ricketts, Provost and Chair of SAPC Re: Report of the Senate Academic Program Committee on new programs The two program initiatives presented to Senate represent important innovations in our curriculum. 1. MA in Film Studies This proposal will establish a one-year (5.0 credits) stream within the existing Film Studies MA program. This proposed stream consists of course work, a comprehensive exam, a research essay and a career-oriented training component taken in the form of a Professional Workshop and an Internship. This new stream will not require any additional human and physical resources. The new stream has been approved to commence by OCGS. Motion: That Senate approves the new 5.0 credit stream in MA Film studies to start in September 2011. 2. Entrepreneurship The Sprott School of Business proposes the addition of two related program elements in the area of Entrepreneurship:

a) A Concentration in Entrepreneurship will be added as an option in the Bachelor of Commerce;

b) A Minor in Entrepreneurship will be made available to non-business students. These two elements will use the same courses, of which several are new. It is planned that the two elements of the initiative will allow a comingling of business and non-business students with creative synergy expected. A distinguishing feature of the plan is that students will be required to plan and then run a business in order to complete the requirements. The Sprott School of Business has included an implementation plan; this will guide roll out of the programs. Motion: That Senate approves the Concentration in Entrepreneurship and the Minor in Entrepreneurship with implementation timeline contained in the documents.

OCGS APPRAISAL BRIE F F ilm Studies O N E-Y E A R (5.0 credits) ST R E A M W I T H IN T H E E X IST IN G M AST E R O F A R TS PR O G R A M This proposals aims to establish a one-year (5.0 credits) stream within the existing Film Studies MA program. This stream consists of course work, a comprehensive exam, a research essay and a career-oriented training component taken in the form of a Professional Workshop and an Internship. This new stream will not require any additional human and physical resources. (See details below under Resources) Objective This new stream takes into account the principles and goals articulated in Carleton

current approaches to the study of film with training in one or more areas of professional practice. It is designed to offer students a broad exposure to the field by enhancing their academic formation in film theory and history, and in accord with the current international orientation of the program, specifically the study of cinema in relation to the regional, national and local contexts and identities that make up the globalized world. It offers students the opportunity of applying their knowledge, critical and research skills in particular professional settings by drawing on and expanding long established connections between the Film Studies Program and the Ottawa community. This stream will (1) benefit students seeking to pursue their academic training in film; (2) enhance their prospects of employment in a film-related area of work; and (3) allow students to proceed more quickly to a PhD program by completing their degree in three terms (12 months.) Program of Study The one-year program builds on the existing MA in Film Studies. In addition to course work, it establishes a comprehensive exam, an individual research project, and two career-oriented courses: a compulsory professional workshop and an optional graduate internship. A description of each one of these elements follows. Core seminar (F I L M 5000) This is an existing course that deals with recent developments in film theory and history, with emphasis on the themes and concepts informing the development of the discipline of film studies. The comprehensive examination (F I L M 5910) This exam will knowledge of the main areas of study. It will consist of questions relating to film theory and historiography, the critical debates in film studies,

4

and diverse approaches to film analysis. Students will be required to present a coherent argument and engage with key assumptions, concepts and methodologies animating work in the field of film studies. The research essay (F I L M 5908) The essay asand supervised by a faculty member. It will concern research undertaken after admission into the program. Students will be required to submit a proposal for approval and meet with their supervisor on a regular basis. The length of the final essay should be between 30 and 50 pages, including bibliography. Professional Workshops (F I L M 5805) Professionals in various areas will facilitate twice-monthly 3-hour workshops related, for example, to film archiving, curatorship and film festival programming, cultural policy and media arts funding. Specific topics may include procedures and practices of film cataloguing and preservation, curatorial research, museum collections and display, coordination and design of various forms of film and video exhibition, structures and management of not-for-profit or public sector film, culture or heritage organizations, private and public sector research and writing protocols. Internship (F I L M 5801) Since its inception, the Film Studies program at Carleton has established working relationships with the National Film Archives, the Canadian Film Institute, the Ottawa International Animation Festival, the Independent Film Cooperative of Ottawa and Saw Video. The range and breath of practicum program at the graduate level will be extended to the Museum of Science and Technology, the Film and Video Policy and Program Branch of the department of Canadian Heritage, the Media Arts Section of the Canada Council for the Arts, the One World Film Festival and Artengine. (See attached the list of partner institutions that have agreed to make placements available.) Depending on the institution and agency, placements and projects will be tailored to specific areas such as archiving, collection management, programming, film and new media culture, film funding and/or policy. While most students will be working under the supervision of a staff member, individual curatorial, research and/or data analysis projects for presentation in a public venue will also be encouraged. These projects will enable students to create a portfolio and establish professional qualifications. Distinctiveness This new one-year stream is designed to complement academic study with professional drecognizes the need and value of enhancing the partnerships that the Film Studies program has established with government departments, cultural agencies and organizations, expanding them and creating new partnerships at the graduate level. It encourages active and productive forms of participation in the work of different film communities in Ottawa, enabling students to contribute to the on-going development of film culture in Ontario, Canada and the world.

5

Advantages The one-year stream will increase admissions into the existing MA program by attracting students who want to further their academic training in the discipline and put into practice their expertise in Film Studies. It will strengthen the program by encouraging students to interact productively with members of the Ottawa film communities and gain experiences that they can apply at the regional, national and international level. The one-year stream will attract a more diverse group of students into the program, specifically students with a strong academic background who are seeking to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in film-related areas such archiving, media education, cultural administration and/or administration of film festivals. An expanded student body enables the program to offer more optional courses, thus slightly increasing the total number of in-class credits being offered in any given year from the current 2.5 credits to 3.5, including the Professional Workshop and the Graduate Internship courses. Demand The increased number of one-year MA programs at Carleton, and in other Ontario universities and across Canada, is evidence of the growing demand for these programs. In addition, programs with mixed academic and professional components are considered attractive because they increase the options available to students. Significant here is the strong demand for the one-year MA at the University of Toronto (2006), which exceeds by four the papplications on average each year and has admitted 14 students on average each year, with 73 applications for the current admission cycle. These rates indicate the growing demand for one-year MA programs in Film Studies. Resources No additional resources will be required to run this program. FILM 5801 [0.5 credit] G raduate Internship requires from faculty only minimal contact hours with the students. The faculty member running the existing Practicum program will be in charge of the Graduate Internship. S/he will coordinate the placements, determine the nature of the written evaluation component, and be responsible for entering the final grade for all the students registered in the course. FILM 5805 [0.5 credit] Responsibility for the Professional Workshops will be shared by the Graduate Supervisor and the Practicum/Internship Supervisor. Both will be involved in selecting the workshop leaders, running workshops, determining the nature of the

FILM 5908 [1.0 credit] All faculty members within the program will be expected to supervise Research Essays. To insure supervisions are equitably distributed, the Graduate supervisor will be responsible for coordinating the approval of proposals,

6

matching students with faculty and selecting, in consultation with the supervisor, a second reader to evaluate the completed research essay. FILM 5910 [0.5 credit] The Comprehensive Exam is based on FILM 5000 and a basic reading list of central texts in film studies. The Graduate supervisor will be responsible for the course. S/he will determine, in consultation with the members of the graduate committee and the faculty teaching in-class graduate courses, the questions. S/he will provide students with a handout listing a basic bibliography, indicating the areas covered in the exam. Responsibility for grading will be shared by one member of the graduate committee and another faculty of the Film Studies program. Program Requirements for this one-year MA stream are as follows: 1.0 FILM 5000 0.5 FILM 5910 (Comprehensive Examination) 0.5 FILM 5805 2.0 additional credits (0.5 of these credits can include FILM 5801) 1.0 FILM 5908 Research Essay Total of 5.0 credits required In choosing the 2.0 additional credits beyond the core seminars and the comprehensive exam, students may take 0.5 credits outside the Film Studies program subject to the approval of the Graduate Supervisor. Deadlines Normally, full-time students should complete their course work by the end of the second term, and part-time students by the end of the fifth term. Full-time students are expected to write the comprehensive exam during the third term and part-time students during the sixth term. Full time students are expected to complete the research essay by the end of the third term and part time students during the sixth term. Language Requirements A reading knowledge of French (or another language approved by the Film Studies Graduate Supervisor) is required. Academic Standing A standing of B- or better must be obtained in each course counted towards the master's degree.

Dear Zuzana,

We would be pleased to participate in the expansion of the internship program for the Film Studies

students at Carleton. We would be delighted to accommodate one student during the fall and winter/

spring sessions.

Artengine is a non-profit artist run center that focuses on creative technological expression. We are

engaged in production and presentation in both an on-line and physical environment. Our modular

audio-visual/electronics lab plays a significant role in the organization, as it is not only the center of

production, but also the nexus of a variety of communities working in custom software design, robot-

ics, live cinema, sound art and many other production and presentation platforms. Artengine is also

the central producer for the biennial media arts festival Electric Fields. This festival focuses on live

audio-visual performance and new music, but also presents installation work and net.art.

There are a variety of rich experiences that a placement with Artengine could offer. For instance we

have an active blog, contributed to by a number of local artists and curators, and this space could be

used to develop critical discourse and the expansion of live cinema practices. The placement could

also focus on a small project for an upcoming edition of Electric Fields, and help with research on lo-

cally based media artists.

We are a small team at Artengine, and the placement would offer a variety of experiences, from both

a practical and critical perspective, and we look forward to working with the department.

Sincerely yours,

Ryan StecArtistic DirectorArtengine

Zuzana Pick Graduate Supervisor Film Studies Program School of Arts and Culture Carleton University 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 Dear Zuzana,

-­paid internship placement to a Carleton University Film Studies MA student.

Established in 1981, SAW Video is an artist-­ run centre committed to supporting artistic production, presentation and programming of independent video and media art. The largest centre of its kind in the region, SAW Video provides many services to the local media art community including affordable video equipment and technical facilities, workshops, grants, mentorship programs, and media art programming.

An internship with SAW Video will provide the intern with excellent exposure to the dynamic and growing Canadian professional media arts milieu. Potential projects that the Graduate Intern could work on at SAW Video would be: conducting curatorial research under the direction of our Programmer, Mireille Bourgeois, writing a critical

Mediatheque for posting on our website, or conducting a critical overview of the videos produced through our long-­standing Jumpstart production fund.

We understand that this Graduate Internship program will be implemented in 2011-­12. I look forward to hearing more details when they are available.

Introduction of a new Concentration in Entrepreneurship for BCom

CONCENTRATION IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP (4.0 CREDITS)

1. 0.5 credit in BUSI 2800 (Entrepreneurship);

2. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3600 (Entrepreneurial Strategies);

3. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3810 (Business Development);

4. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3820 (Practicum in Business Design);

5. 0.5 credit in BUSI 4810 (Practicum in Business Creation) or an approved elective for Entrepreneurship programs;

6. 1.5 credits from a list of approved courses for the concentration.

Students will have to choose courses from the list of approved courses for the concentration. The following existing courses are suggested for item # 6 above (more courses will be developed over time to enhance the elective list):

• BUSI 4105 (Managing Change) • BUSI 4119 (Practicum in Management (consulting)) • BUSI 4600 (Special Topics in Entrepreneurship) • BUSI 4607 (Management of Technology & Innovation) • BUSI 4708 (International Expansion & Operations) • XXXX xxxx Approved elective

Learning Objectives Students in this concentration

1. will gain knowledge of the entrepreneurial process; 2. will be able to identify, analyze, and solve entrepreneurial management

problems in the contexts of local and global operations; 3. will acquire and develop the skills and competences required to pursue career

opportunities in the diverse field of entrepreneurship and small business management.

Rationale In Canada, entrepreneurship is recognized as “a powerful force driving innovation, productivity, job creation and economic growth”1

- “The implicit understanding between employers and employees has changed. In the past, people expected to be retained as employees as long as they did

. Three main reasons motivate people to consider becoming entrepreneurs.

1 Fisher, E., Reuber, R., Parsley, C., Djukic, S. (2010). The State of Entrepreneurship in Canada, Report for Industry Canada, February (available at www.ic.gc.ca/sbresearch) (p.2).

Approved Sprott Faculty Board February 28, 2011 Approved CRC January 16, 2011 2

their jobs. Recent economic downturns, though, have been accompanied by downsizing and people want to regain control over their pay cheques by starting their own business.

- People – especially younger people – increasingly prefer an independent lifestyle. They want to do work they like and have autonomy over their hours and working conditions.

- Entrepreneurs have become influential. Canadian entrepreneurs are celebrated in their communities and in the media, and, in an age where people are cynical about many public figures, they are becoming new role models.”2

Entrepreneurship could be defined as: a process by which “opportunities to create future goods and services are discovered, evaluated, and exploited”3 or “acts of organizational creation, renewal, or innovation that occur within, or independent of, an existing organization”4. Three dimensions are recognized: “innovativeness, risk taking and proactiveness”5

. The process could be oriented toward an economic and/or a social mission.

A study6 by CGA-Canada on entrepreneurship recommends that: “Governments, universities and the private sector should collaborate to grow centres of excellence in entrepreneurship with a focus on youth entrepreneurship”. In addition, a study7

of entrepreneurship courses and programs offered in Canadian universities indicates a potential niche for the Sprott School of Business and Carleton University regarding Entrepreneurship.

The Sprott School of Business mission statement specifies that one of the School’s objectives is: “promoting intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship”. Currently, only two courses appear in the Undergraduate calendar, namely: BUSI3600 (Small Business Management) and BUSI4600 (Entrepreneurialist culture). This proposed concentration assists in the Sprott School of Business meeting the objectives specified in its mission statement in a way that is aligned with the Carleton Academic Plan.

Impact Sprott School: Sprott has an opportunity to play a significant role in promoting entrepreneurship at Carleton, in the region of Ottawa-Gatineau, in Ontario and in Canada, and to contribute to meeting the emerging demand for talent and core skills. The new programs (concentration and Minor in Entrepreneurship) will provide the following benefits:

- Offer students more choices of career paths. - Potentially increase student enrollment in Sprott. - Enable students to acquire readily saleable credentials. - Establish a seed for fruitful collaboration between many areas (ACC, FIN, IB,

IS, MAS, MKT, OM) and provide the opportunity for cross-functional course development and delivery.

Sprott should have no problems finding instructors for the Entrepreneurship courses. The region of Ottawa has the advantage that it provides a good supply of professionals working in the field as entrepreneurs themselves or as advisors to entrepreneurs. The new Concentration in Entrepreneurship and the Minor in Entrepreneurship will be staffed initially by existing faculty and a roster of highly qualified sessional instructors.

University:

The Concentration in Entrepreneurship and the Minor in Entrepreneurship will have a significant positive impact on the University. In addition to attracting additional students to the University, the programs will contribute to several important University goals. The proposed programs will support innovation, engagement with the community, and solutions to real-world problems – all key pillars of Carleton’s Strategic Plan “Defining Dreams”. The unique applications focus of the two practicum courses will promote both active learning and student engagement which are key objectives articulated in Carleton’s Academic Plan. Further the programs will help to build student collaboration across disciplinary boundaries through the practicum courses which will include both Business students in the Concentration in Entrepreneurship and students from outside the Business School who are enrolled in the Minor in Entrepreneurship. Resource requirements will be commensurate with program growth. Growth in faculty complement will be contingent upon enrolment growth. Some additional library resources may be required. Implementation plan The implementation will leverage existing courses already offered at Sprott as well as introduce several new courses. After the launch and depending upon the demand from students, more courses can be added to expand the course offering. Specific arrangements with different faculties could be arranged after the initial launch.

Approved Sprott Faculty Board February 28, 2011 Approved CRC January 16, 2011 4

• Timing: To be introduced in 2011-2012 academic calendar. • Scope: Students from the Fall 2011 cohort will be the first to see this change.

Earlier cohorts will be able to embark in the Entrepreneurship concentration (ENT) or Minor in Entrepreneurship (MIE) but their course patterns may be delayed until all the courses are fully mounted.

• The courses will be introduced gradually over time as specified in Table 1. • The introduction of the new concentration needs to be promoted to existing

students and students who joined the school in Fall 2011. The implementation schedule of various courses is shown in Table 1.

REQUIREMENTS (4.0 CREDITS):

7. 0.5 credit in BUSI 1003 (Survey of Accounting) or equivalent;

8. 0.5 credit in BUSI 2204 (Basic Marketing);

9. 0.5 credit in BUSI 2101 (Introduction to Organizational Behaviour);

10. 0.5 credit in BUSI 2800 (Entrepreneurship);

11. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3600 (Entrepreneurial Strategies);

12. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3810 (Business Development);

13. 0.5 credit in BUSI 3820 (Practicum in Business Design);

14. 0.5 credit in BUSI 4810 (Practicum in Business Creation) or an approved elective for Entrepreneurship programs;

15. The remaining requirements of the major discipline(s) and degree must be satisfied

Rationale The rationale for the Concentration in Entrepreneurship in the B.Com applies also to the MIE. The design of the MIE is motivated by:

a) the fact that many Carleton students could choose Entrepreneurship curricula for elective courses. A quarter of the students enrolled in BUSI3600 (Small Business Management) are students from outside the Business School.;

b) the presence of the opportunity that many courses can be designed in a manner that satisfies the needs of both the business and non-business curricula at Carleton;

c) the program will help to build student collaboration across disciplinary boundaries through the practicum courses, which will include both Business students in the Concentration in Entrepreneurship and students from outside the Business School who are enrolled in the Minor in Entrepreneurship. Sprott Entrepreneurship Committee members observe that strongest proposals in Entrepreneurship competitions come from collaboration. The collaboration will happen at the design and implementation stage.

Approved Sprott Faculty Board February 28, 2011 Approved CRC January 16, 2011 6

As such the proposal is to encourage Carleton students, who may be coming into MIE with entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial ambitions, to work on a business project, such as technology commercialization project or social enterprises in mind, as examples. Impact

March 11, 2011 To: Senate From: Don Russell, Chair, SCASP Re: Revised Academic Performance Evaluation Rules for Bachelor of Architectural Studies The Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism has proposed a revision of the Academic Performance Evaluation Rules for students in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies. The change will require successful completion of the first year sequence of courses as a requirement for continuing in the Design program. Students not meeting this requirement will normally be allowed to continue in one of the other programs of the BAS. The full description of the APE for BAS is provided below; the revised section is Item 4 & 5. The Senate Committee on Admission and Studies Policy (SCASP) has considered this rule change and approves it as ensuring that students start the BAS Design program with a firm foundation and also providing alternate routes to academic success.

Motion: That Senate approves the new Academic Performance Evaluation rule for Bachelor of Architectural Studies. The new rule will apply to students admitted to start in September 2011 and after.

Bachelor of Architectural Studies Academic Performance Evaluation – Revision

1. Students in all programs of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies are assessed periodically using an Academic Performance Evaluations (APE). The possible outcomes of an APE assessment are Good Standing (GS), Academic Warning (AW), Continue in Alternate (CA), Dismissed from Program (DP) and Suspension (SU). The standard rules for APE (Rules 7.1-7.4) apply with the following additions and amendments.

2. The APE assessments for B.A.S. Design students are made using the student’s Overall

CGPA and grades in the Design Core courses.

3. The Design Core consists of the following courses: ARCS 1005, ARCS 1105 [1.0], ARCS 2105 [1.5], ARCS 2106 [1.5], ARCS 3105 [1.5], ARCS 3106 [1.5], ARCS 4105 [1.5], ARCS 4106 [1.5]

The first evaluation for B.A.S. Design

4. B.A.S. Design students are assessed by an APE at the end of the first Winter Term after admission. The possible outcomes are GS, CA and DP. At this assessment, Good Standing and continuation in B.A.S. Design requires that the student has:

a. Successfully completed with a grade point average of 8.00 or higher the courses: ARCS 1005, ARCS 1105 [1.0], ARCN 2106; and

b. An Overall CGPA of 6.00 or higher. 5. Students who are not allowed to continue in B.A.S. Design after this evaluation and

have the status CA may apply immediately for transfer to another of the B.A.S. programs or any other degree.

Subsequent evaluations for B.A.S. Design

6. Subsequent to this first assessment, B.A.S. Design students are assessed at the end of each Winter Term by an APE using the Design Core courses as long as the student has completed a Core course in the preceding summer, fall or winter terms. The APE assessment at this time will use both the Design Core courses and the Overall CGPA if the student has completed 4.0 credits since admission or since the preceding evaluation. The possible outcomes of the evaluation are GS, AW, CA, and DP.

7. For these subsequent evaluations Good Standing requires: a. A grade of at least C- in each Design Core Course; and b. If used as part of the evaluation, Overall CGPA at or above the minimums in

Table 1 of Section 7.4.

Suspended Students

8. Students whose Academic Performance Evaluation results in Suspension or who are required to leave the program under the rules of the first evaluation above, and who are not subsequently accepted into a different B.A.S. program, must leave the B.A.S. degree. Application for readmission to B.A.S. Design is not normally permitted, but application may be made to other B.A.S. programs after one year.

March 10, 2011 To: Senate From: Brian Mortimer, Clerk and Chair of the Committee on Medals and Prizes Re: Revision of the policy on Senate Medals at the Masters Level The Committee on Medals and Prizes proposes the addition of two Senate Medals For Outstanding Academic Acheivement at the Masters level. These new medals will be designated for masters programs completed through coursework only. The assessment of outstanding students at the masters level divides naturally into those completing programs requiring a thesis or research project and those that require course completion only. It is difficult and not fruitful to group these students into one selection pool. Hence it is recommended that there be two categories of Senate Medals at the graduate level:

a. Senate Medal (Research): for students in programs with research requirements, such as a thesis, research essay or project and;

b. Senate Medal (Course Work): for students in course-work only Masters degrees. Requirements for Senate Medal (Research) would be those currently in use. The requirements for Senate Medal (Course Work) would be a CGPA of at least 11.5 and a strong recommendation from the department. The changes are reflected in the revised policy below in Items 3, 4 & 5. Motion: That Senate approves the revised policy on Senate Medals at the Masters Level.

6. Policy on Senate Medals for Outstanding Graduate Work

1. At its meeting of 27 March 1992, Senate approved the establishment of Senate Medals to recognize excellence in graduate work.

2. As at the undergraduate level, the status of the Senate Medals for Outstanding

Graduate Work is one level immediately below that of the (existing) two University Medals for Outstanding Graduate Work (Doctoral and Master's). The Senate Medals are meant to recognize runners-up for the University Medals.

3. There are two categories of Senate Medals at the graduate level:

a. Senate Medal (Research): for students in programs with research requirements, such as a thesis, research essay or project and;

b. Senate Medal (Course Work): for students in course-work only Masters degrees.

4. There are to be two Senate Medals (Research) – one Doctoral, one Master's – for each of the following major disciplinary areas: (i) Arts and Social Sciences, (ii) Engineering, Architecture and Industrial Design (iii) Science and Computer Science, (iv) Public Affairs and (v) Business. When merited the Committee may recommend additional candidates for Senate Medals (Research) beyond the specified number.

5. There are two Senate Medals (Course Work) at the Masters level for the

University. The minimum requirement is a CGPA of at least 11.5 and a strong recommendation from the department.

6. As with the two University Medals, all Senate Medals will be available for award

at each of the Spring and Fall Convocations (February graduates being counted as part of Spring graduates), and be awarded only when merited in the opinion of the Senate Committee on Medals and Prizes and of Senate.

7. Given that the Senate Medals are meant to recognize runners-up for the

University Medals, the criteria for the Senate Medals are identical to those for the University Medals (q.v.).

8. The candidate recommended to Senate by the Senate Committee on Medals

and Prizes for the Governor-General's Medal at the Graduate Level (awarded annually at the Fall Convocation) shall continue to be chosen from among the February, Spring and Fall candidates judged to be University (as against Senate) Medal-level material.
