1. MINOR PROGRAM CHANGES – Minor in Dramatic Art TITLE OF PROGRAM/CERTIFICATE: Minor in Dramatic Art DEPARTMENT/SCHOOL: Dramatic Art FACULTY: Arts & Social Sciences Proposed change(s) effective as of [Fall, Winter, Spring]: Fall 2011 PART A PROGRAM REQUIREMENT CHANGES Please provide the current program requirements and the proposed new program requirements by cutting and pasting from the current undergraduate or graduate web calendar (www.uwindsor.ca/calendars) and clearly marking deletions with strikethrough (strikethrough) and additions/new information with bolding and underlining. Example: Major requirements: 00-100, 00-101, 00-110, 00-210, 00-310, 00-410, plus three additional courses at the 300-level or 400-level.

Delete: Minor in Dramatic Art RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s).

Courses in Dramatic Art are oversubscribed by Dramatic Art majors; many have extensive waiting lists every semester. In a number of cases, students in the Honours BA Programme find it difficult to get enough courses to fulfil their degree requirements. The only courses that regularly accommodate non-majors are the academic courses in Theatre History. As students who minor in Dramatic Art are for the most part using it to gain a ‘second teachable’ for Faculty of Education, it is pedagogically unsound to permit this teachable to be in only one area of Dramatic Art, especially when non of the required six courses will include practical classes. The School also believes that it is unfair to offer a Minor in Dramatic Art when it is highly unlikely that we will have spaces available in course for those students. Students currently registered in a Minor in Dramatic Art will be grandfathered. RESOURCES AVAILABLE Faculty and Staff What are the faculty and staff resources (including all faculty and staff from affected areas/departments) currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (e.g., administrative, teaching, supervision, etc.)?

N/A Provide an assessment of faculty expertise available and committed to actively support the revised program.

N/A Other Resources What are the resources currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (including library, teaching and learning support, space, equipment, facilities, GA/TAs, etc.)?

The School relied on the ability to offer double sections of practical courses in order to permit student who are registered in a Minor to register. Loss of two faculty members and the needed sessional support to do so has made it impossible to serve even our own majors. There also does not appear to be any hope in the near future of resolving these resource issues.

What are the student support services currently available and committed to actively support the initiative? N/A

TITLE OF THE PROGRAM/CERTIFICATE: B.A. History DEPARTMENT/SCHOOL: History FACULTY: Arts and Social Science Proposed change(s) effective as of: Fall 2011 NEW COURSE PROFILE Course # and Title: 43-211. Islamic History: Consolidation and Expansion 1000-1500 Calendar Description Calendar descriptions should be written in the third person and should provide a general outline of the course material. Where appropriate, examples of topics or themes, which might be covered in the course, should also be provided. This is a survey course that explores middle period of Islamic history from 1000 to 1500 C.E. This period was one of continuing change and innovation as new political and religious institutions were developed in response to changing conditions and the areas under the influence of Islamic civilization continued to expand, contributing to cultural diversity. Themes of the course that will be emphasized will be structures of premodern civilization, including, for example: 1) the relationship between state and religion; 2) trade and the economies of the increasingly diverse and fragmented Islamic states; 3) the social order and its expression in the urban environment; and 4) the relation between “high” and “low” culture.

Total courses: forty Major requirements: twenty-three courses, including (a) six of the following: 07-120, 07-137, 07-202 or 07-203, 07-220, 07-237, 07-320 and 07-337 and 07-237 or 07-320; (b) six language training courses in one language option area from the following: 15-102, 15-202, 15-300, 15-301, 15-400, 15-401 or 21-102, 21-202, 21-300, 21-301, 21-400, 21-401 or 23-102, 23-202, 23-300, 23-301, 23-400, 23-401 (The level of required courses depends on a placement test. The 300-level language training courses are compulsory for all students)* (c) two of the following courses taught in the target language from among the following: 15-328, 15-329, 15-400, 15-401 or 21-327, 21-328, 21-400, 21-401, or 23-327, 23-329 23-400, 23-401; (c) two of the following courses: 07-202, 07-203, 07-235, 07-321, 15-248, 21-248, 21-356, 23-248 (d) two of the following civilization courses in the chosen language option area: 15-260 and 15-261 or 21-260 and 21-261 or 23-260 and 23-261; (e) five pre-approved international courses taught in the target language in either “Literature” and/or “Linguistics” and/or “Culture” and/or “Civilization”, taken at a foreign university during the year abroad (see Notes below); (f) two “Directed Studies Abroad” Distance Education courses (07-357 and 07-358) taken during the year abroad (see Note {3} below) * Students beginning the program at an advanced level must adhere to the following sequence of priorities in selecting their courses to replace the standard 6 language training course requirement. (i) Complete all available courses taught in the target language(s). (ii) Complete additional courses in the chosen language option area(s). (iii) Complete additional courses in Modern Languages All courses must be selected in consultation with the program advisor.

They will have their choice of taking three pre-approved courses in either “Literature” and/or “Linguistics” and/or “Culture” and/or

of 45

“Civilization”. The specific courses taken in an area depend upon the availability of courses in the area at the host university and the student’s program concentration. As well, all students will be required to take two advanced language-training courses. These are standard and available at any exchange partner university. {2} Students in the Honours program that are unable to take the required courses abroad, for any reason, will be permitted to transfer to the General or Honours with SLE programs. The modular design of the Modern Languages curriculum (a common first two years curriculum) permits this transfer to another program without any loss in time or additional costs to the student. {3} Students also will register for the “Directed Studies Abroad” Distance Education courses. Students on exchange will be required to attend specific cultural events (museums; art galleries, etc.), participate in assigned activities and write reports on their experiences. Option requirements: six courses including (a) two Social Sciences courses (b) two Arts or two Sciences courses (c) two additional courses from Arts, Social Sciences or Science. Other requirements: (a) 01-150, 01-151 (b) three international courses from a foreign university, in any area of study, including Modern Languages (c) additional courses from any area of study, excluding Modern Languages, to a total of forty courses RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s).

Despite having started offering senior level courses in the target languages, as recommended by PDC in the last Undergraduate Program Review, these courses have been identified as low enrolment courses by the Dean’s office. Consequently, changes in our programming requirements are being made in order to increase student enrolment in our senior courses. In particular, required culture and literature courses taught in the target language have been replaced by other courses that currently attract a considerable number of students, not only from Modern Languages, but also from other disciplines. RESOURCES AVAILABLE Faculty and Staff What are the faculty and staff resources (including all faculty and staff from affected areas/departments) currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (e.g., administrative, teaching, supervision, etc.)?

Despite having a full-time faculty member on long-term disability and another one having taken early retirement, both of whom have not been replaced, Modern Languages has sufficient resources to offer the required courses provided that we continue receiving sufficient replacement Sessional stipends to offer intensive language training courses at the 100 and 200 level. Provide an assessment of faculty expertise available and committed to actively support the revised program.

All the required courses have been successfully taught by our full-time faculty members in the past, and they all fall within the faculty members’ expertise. Other Resources What are the resources currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (including library, teaching and learning support, space, equipment, facilities, GA/TAs, etc.)?

Since all the required courses in the revised program are not new courses, all the necessary resources are already in place. What are the student support services currently available and committed to actively support the initiative?

No additional services are required.

Please elaborate and provide relevant details.

Resources from another area/unit are not required. REALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND COST-SAVINGS In reviewing the resources required to run the revised program, what opportunities for internal reallocation of resources and cost-savings have been identified and pursued by the area/department (e.g., streamlining existing programs and courses, deleting courses, etc.)?

All the changes introduced in the revised program respond to the need to increase enrolment in Modern Languages programs and courses and aim at offering courses that would meet this goal while at the same time deleting courses with low enrolment.

7. MINOR PROGRAM CHANGES - Minor in Modern Language (Concentration in Language)

TITLE OF PROGRAM/CERTIFICATE: Minor in Modern Languages DEPARTMENT/SCHOOL: Languages, Literatures and Cultures FACULTY: FASS Proposed change(s) effective as of Fall 2011 PART A PROGRAM REQUIREMENT CHANGES Please provide the current program requirements and the proposed new program requirements by cutting and pasting from the current undergraduate or graduate web calendar (www.uwindsor.ca/calendars) and clearly marking deletions with strikethrough (strikethrough) and additions/new information with bolding and underlining. Example: Major requirements: 00-100, 00-101, 00-110, 00-210, 00-310, 00-410 plus three additional courses at the 300-level or 400-level.

Minor in Modern Languages Required Courses: (a) four language training courses in one language option area (the level of required courses depends on a placement test); (b) 07-137 (c) one culture or civilization course in the chosen language option area (German: 15-260 or 15-261; Italian: 21-260 or 21-261; Spanish: 23-260 or 23-261) Students entering the program at an advanced level must complete their language training requirements by selecting from among 300- and 400-level courses taught in the target language. NOTE: Modern Languages students may take a minor in a language other than their major. If courses in the minor also form part of the major, a substitution of those courses will be permitted with the approval of the Program Coordinator. Minor in Modern Languages (Concentration in Language) Required Courses: To complete the requirement for this minor, students normally will take the following language-training courses in one language-option area: German: 15- 102*, 15-202*, 15-300, 15-301; Italian: 21-102*, 21-202*, 21-300, 21-301; Spanish: 23-102*, 23-202*, 23-300 and 23-301. NOTE: Students with a prior knowledge of the target language must meet with a Modern Languages counsellor before registering for a Minor in that language. *Double-weighted course. RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s).

A significant clientele of students exists that prefers to focus exclusively on language acquisition, rather than taking additional courses in literature or culture. By providing a minor that responds to their interests, LLC anticipates that additional students will be drawn to the language-based minor, resulting in an increased enrolment in senior language training courses. We note that all courses required for this minor are part of the regular teaching roster of LLC and that the programme does not entail any new faculty or curricular resources.

Please elaborate and provide relevant details.

This minor does not rely on resources from any other area or unit. REALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND COST-SAVINGS In reviewing the resources required to run the revised program, what opportunities for internal reallocation of resources and cost-savings have been identified and pursued by the area/department (e.g., streamlining existing programs and courses, deleting courses, etc.)?

The proposed minor will improve the cost-delivery of our Major programs by increasing enrolment in low-enrolment senior-level language training courses.

LEARNING OUTCOMES from Minor in Modern Languages (Concentration in Language) Program Learning Outcomes (see Appendix A for more on learning outcomes) At the end of this program, the successful student will know and be able to:



reach B2 proficiency-level language skills as per the Common European Framework for Language Teaching and Learning in the target language.


locate and take advantage of reliable online language resources that can aid in the acquisition of the target language.


apply his or her academic preparation and newly gained language skills to analyze and respond appropriately to different communicative contexts.


understand and demonstrate a wide range of language usage, both spoken and written, in the target language. He or she will be able to express ideas without much obvious searching for expressions. He or she will be able to use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. He or she will be able to summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation.


compare and appreciate the role of culture-specific practices in languages other than that of the language-learner. This heightened awareness normally carries over into the Canadian context, asserting itself as greater sensitivity towards the cultural backgrounds and practices of members of ethno-cultural communities in Windsor and beyond.

E. responsible behaviour to self, others and society

become more sensitive to the communicative and cultural aspects that define interaction in the target languages.


engage in group work and collaborative activities. Typically, students work with partners or in small groups in the classroom, and learn to support each other’s learning activities. Usually, leadership manifests itself in the organization of both learning and extracurricular activities (conversation groups, review groups, cultural evenings, etc.)


value cultural and linguistic differences and similarities, thanks to the elements of diversity built into the programme curriculum.


engage in increasingly more complex and nuanced interactions with users of the target language. Normally, language studies intensify the desire to travel to some area where the language is spoken; this, in turn, leads to deeper and usually sustained involvement with the acquired language and culture.

This minor will appeal to students with an interest in culture. We note that 07-137, which is offered each year, will benefit from modest additional registration, and that the rotation of the 260/261 course sequence in each of the language areas will not impede the timely completion of all minor requirements.

9. MINOR PROGRAM CHANGES – Minor in Modern Languages (Concentration in Linguistics and

Literature) TITLE OF PROGRAM/CERTIFICATE: Minor in Modern Languages (Concentration in Linguistics and Literature) DEPARTMENT/SCHOOL: Languages, Literatures and Cultures FACULTY: FASS Proposed change(s) effective as of Fall 2011 PART A PROGRAM REQUIREMENT CHANGES Please provide the current program requirements and the proposed new program requirements by cutting and pasting from the current undergraduate or graduate web calendar (www.uwindsor.ca/calendars) and clearly marking deletions with strikethrough (strikethrough) and additions/new information with bolding and underlining. Example: Major requirements: 00-100, 00-101, 00-110, 00-210, 00-310, 00-410, plus three additional courses at the 300-level or 400-level.

Minor in Modern Languages Required Courses: (a) four language training courses in one language option area (the level of required courses depends on a placement test); (b) 07-137 (c) one culture or civilization course in the chosen language option area (German: 15-260 or 15-261; Italian: 21-260 or 21-261; Spanish: 23-260 or 23-261) Students entering the program at an advanced level must complete their language training requirements by selecting from among 300- and 400-level courses taught in the target language. NOTE: Modern Languages students may take a minor in a language other than their major. If courses in the minor also form part of the major, a substitution of those courses will be permitted with the approval of the Program Coordinator. Minor in Modern Languages (Concentration in Linguistics and Literature) Required Courses: 6

(a) three linguistics courses as follows: 07-120. 07-220, 07-320 (b) three literature courses as follows: 07-137, 07-237, 07-337

RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s).

This minor will appeal to students with a primary interest in linguistics and literature. We note that our linguistics courses - 07-120, 07-220 and 07-320 - have become increasingly popular with students outside of the second-language acquisition honours stream. Providing a minor with a linguistics component will attract students interested in studying language from a linguistic perspective. The study of literature is a natural pendant to the study of linguistics, for linguistics has had a strong impact on literary studies from the beginning of the last century until today. The three literature courses, currently all components of other programmes, will experience higher enrolment, particularly at the upper levels.

of 45

Moreover, this minor will provide a valuable complement to students majoring in English which does not offer similar linguistics courses. The literature courses will make literature originating outside the English speaking world accessible to English Majors. Each of these courses currently exist, are offered yearly and are required of each of our Major programs. All required courses are taught in English. RESOURCES AVAILABLE Faculty and Staff What are the faculty and staff resources (including all faculty and staff from affected areas/departments) currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (e.g., administrative, teaching, supervision, etc.)?

All faculty members in the Modern Languages programme actively support this new Minor. Provide an assessment of faculty expertise available and committed to actively support the revised program.

All faculty members necessary to implement this minor are in place. Indeed, they are currently teaching these courses, which are required for other programmes offered in Modern Languages. Other Resources What are the resources currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (including library, teaching and learning support, space, equipment, facilities, GA/TAs, etc.)?

Adequate resources exist for this programme, including teaching and counselling support (faculty); Educational Opportunity office for special-needs students. The department has a computer lab, where students can access online resources relevant to their study. The department has dedicated teaching space (LT 3127), equipped as a smart room. In addition, CLEW supports learning development by making additional materials and support available to the students, at the instructor’s discretion. What are the student support services currently available and committed to actively support the initiative?

No additional support services are anticipated. Reliance on Resources from another Area/Unit Will the program change rely on existing resources of another campus unit (e.g., faculty teaching, equipment or facilities outside the proposer’s control or use of existing equipment within the proposer’s control with maintenance and upgrading requirements specified)?

Example: Major requirements: 00-100, 00-101, 00-110, 00-210, 00-310, 00-410, plus three additional courses at the 300-level or 400-level.

Honours Program Major requirements: twenty Philosophy courses, at least 18 of which must be at the 200-level or above, including: (a) 34-110 or 34-112; (b) 34-221, and one additional Philosophy course with ‘2’ as the middle digit; (c) one of 34-250 or 34-254; (d) three of 34-270, 34-271, 34-274 or 34-275; (e) one of 34-353, 34-472 or 34-473; (f) one of 34-355, 34-470, or 34-471; (g) one of 34-376 or 34-377; (h) one additional Philosophy course with ‘5’ as the middle digit; (i) one 200-level or above Philosophy course with ‘6’ as the middle digit; (j) 34-491; (k) seven additional Philosophy courses, at least three of which are at the 300-level. Same Change applies to Combined Honours and General BA RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s).

The department believes that by making Introduction to Western Philosophy the exclsuive required introductory course it will be able to ensure greater consistency and coherence in the first year experience. The change will allow us to better steer students through the remainder of their degree, as well as ensure greater equity between students because they will all share the same Introductory course. RESOURCES AVAILABLE Faculty and Staff What are the faculty and staff resources (including all faculty and staff from affected areas/departments) currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (e.g., administrative, teaching, supervision, etc.)?

The change makes no material difference to faculty and staff resources. Provide an assessment of faculty expertise available and committed to actively support the revised program.

The existing faculty and staff are competent to teach the same Introduction to Western Philosophy course that we have traditionally taught. Other Resources What are the resources currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (including library, teaching and learning support, space, equipment, facilities, GA/TAs, etc.)?

Current faculty and graduate assistant support is adequate.

The proposal introduces greater flexibility in the major requirements of three Political Science degree programs, which permits students to concentrate their studies in the subfield of their choosing. This allows students more freedom in course selection, but also provides greater flexibility for the department to deploy its teaching resources without impeding students’ progress through the degree requirements. In addition, the ‘Other requirements’ of the existing Honours program structure limit student selection to courses from Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Communication Studies, History and Psychology. This unnecessarily excludes courses from other disciplines, so the proposal opens the selection to any area of study. The more flexible degree structure complements several proposals the Department is developing, such as a Bilingual Specialization, which will offer students an opportunity to specialize in certain aspects of the discipline. RESOURCES AVAILABLE Faculty and Staff What are the faculty and staff resources (including all faculty and staff from affected areas/departments) currently available and committed to actively support the revised program (e.g., administrative, teaching, supervision, etc.)?

The Department of Political Science is committed to delivering a slate of attractive programs and a broad menu of courses, despite limited resources, including the loss of a full-time faculty member in 2008 and a large number of faculty sabbatical leaves expected for the 2011-2012 academic year. The revised degree
