1. Curriculum matters from Faculty of Science, Applied Science and Engineering

. Department of Computer Science & Applied Statistics

Course Modification – STAT 1793 Introduction to Applied Statistics

(i) Description of change: Change in course description and reduction of contact hours from 4 to 3. (ii) Rationale for change: Current STAT 1793 course has 4 contact hours to cover the material which used to be taught in two courses years ago, namely STAT 1783 and STAT 1793. The intention is to again split STAT 1793 into two courses. This would also reflect the contents of BA 1605 and BA 2606 which would allow for ease of transfer credits between the BScCS, BISc and BBA degrees.

. New Course – STAT 2793 Introduction to Probability and Statistics II

(i) Description: Concepts of estimation and test of hypothesis, sampling distributions, confidence interval estimation and test of hypothesis for proportion(s), mean(s) and standard deviation(s), association and trend analysis, elementary experimental designs and analysis of variance. (ii) Rationale: Current STAT 1793 course has 4 contact hours to cover the material which used to be taught in two courses years ago, namely STAT 1783 and STAT 1793. The intention is to again split STAT 1793 into two courses. This would also reflect the contents of BA 1605 and BA 2606 which would allow for ease of transferring credits between the BScCS, BISc and BBA degrees. (iii) Recommendation The Senate Curriculum Committee recommends that Senate approve the change to STAT 1793 and the adoption of STAT 2793. 2. Curriculum Changes from the Faculty of Business

a) Program change – Ineligible courses for BBA (i) Description of changes: This is a calendar change to update a number of courses that have content similar to required or optional BBA courses. The courses affected are: CHEM1831, MATH2633/3633, STAT2263, 2264 and 2593, and ECON 1073.

(ii) Rationale:

The courses listed above are similar in content to courses that are offered by or for the Business Faculty.

Page 6: Saint John Senate Curriculum Committee · ECON 1073 added to the calendar list of courses that may not count towards a BBA degree. Recommendation 2: The Senate Curriculum Committee

6

(iii) Recommendation:

The Senate Curriculum Committee recommends that Senate accept these additions to the list of courses that are ineligible for BBA students.

b. Program change - The Faculty of Business to accept minors by other Faculties for the BBA degree.

(i) Description of change: Minors in specific Business Disciplines are not offered. The Faculty of Business will accept all minors as laid out by the offering Faculty except as noted below: Economics Minor A minor in Economics will be awarded to BBA students who: a) achieve a 2.0 grade point average in ECON2013 & ECON 2023 b) successfully complete an additional 9 credit hours in upper level Economics courses. (ECON 2013 and ECON 3114 are recommended for 6 of the 9 credit hours.)

(ii) Rationale for change: The Business Faculty recognizes the value of minors. In the past a BBA degree has noted that a student has the “equivalent of a minor.” While most minors can be accepted as laid out by the offering Faculty there already exists an economics minor in Business that differs slightly from the Minor offered under the BA in Economics.

(iii) Recommendation The Senate Curriculum Committee recommends that Senate approve the Business Faculty program change accepting Minors from other Faculties for the BBA degree. 3. Curriculum Changes from the Faculty of Arts a. Department of Humanities and Languages English Program Changes - changes to Honours program and areas of coverage (i) Descriprion of changes : The intent is to streamline the English programme requirements, to make those requirements less prescriptive and to refocus the core introductory course on the development of critical skills rather than on an historical survey of the field. In addition the calendar copy will reflect the Faculty of Arts adoption of term-course in place of credit hours. Calendar copy will be changed to reflect the deletion of ENGL 1200 Introduction to English (a two-term course) and its replacement with two new courses (ENGL 2101 and ENGL 2102). Consequently, prerequisites for upper-level courses will reflect this change. (ii) Rationale : These changes will prune courses infrequently offered, consolidate others, and shape programme offerings to allow more flexibility for students while offering a strong core that in its breadth compares favourably wit programmes at other institutions. The programme will introduce a new introductory course because the survey course has not proven the most efficacious way to introduce

Page 7: Saint John Senate Curriculum Committee · ECON 1073 added to the calendar list of courses that may not count towards a BBA degree. Recommendation 2: The Senate Curriculum Committee

7

general students (non-majors) to the field. The historical survey will still be offered (as two one-term courses rather than as a single two-term course) and will still be required of English majors.

New Courses : ENGL 1001 Introduction to the Study of Literature (i) Descriprion of changes : An introduction to principles of literary anaysis.

New Business 4. Curriculum Changes for the Faculty of Business

Page 10: Saint John Senate Curriculum Committee · ECON 1073 added to the calendar list of courses that may not count towards a BBA degree. Recommendation 2: The Senate Curriculum Committee

10

HTM4535 Special Topics in Hospitality Management/Tourism and Travel (i) Rationale: To eliminate one of two identical special topics courses.

New Course HTM4531 Historical Perspectives in Tourism (i) Rationale: Originally offered as a special topics course, it is now being taught regularly due to high demand.

Course Prerequisite Changes HTM4565 Heritage Tourism (i) Rationale: To standardize the wording of prerequisites. HTM2103 International Tourism (i) Rationale: To standardize the wording of prerequisites. HTM3505 Resort and Recreation Management (i) Rationale: To standardize the wording of prerequisites. HTM3506 Festival and Events Management (i) Rationale: To standardize the wording of prerequisites.

HTM4111 Travel Writing and Photography (i) Rationale: To standardize the wording of prerequisites. HTM2217 Management Accounting for the Hospitality Industries (i) Rationale: To show the required prerequisite for all students other than those admitted to the BAMHT 2+2 program 5. Curriculum Changes for the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Changes for History and Politics I. Summary of Changes: The following changes are, for the most part, housekeeping changes. They involve: a. a change in title for CLAS 3205 from Ancient History: Jewish Palestine (Maccabees to Masada) to Ancient History: Josephus and the Jewish Wars. There are two reasons for the change to the title: i) the term "Jewish Palestine", while entirely appropriate for the period under consideration can too easily be misunderstood and ii) as the course foregrounds Josephus's account of these events, it is desirable to indicate so. The course description has also been modified to reflect the focus of the course.; b. a change in prerequisites for CLAS 2501 and CLAS 2601 from “CLAS 1005 or any 1000 level HIST course” to “One term-course in CLAS or HIST”. CLAS 1005 is not always offered and, since these are meant to be first courses in Greek and Roman history, CLAS 1501 and 1502 provide

Page 11: Saint John Senate Curriculum Committee · ECON 1073 added to the calendar list of courses that may not count towards a BBA degree. Recommendation 2: The Senate Curriculum Committee

11

adequate background, as does any term-course in HIST. c. updating the course codes for these three courses. d. a new course, HIST 3382 The City in North America. This course, which was taught on Registrar’s warrant in Spring 2005, broadens North American history offerings at the upper level and is an outgrowth of the CURA project.
