Current Versions of Course Proposals

Instructions for writting a course proposal:

1. start with an existing course. Take the latest revision from the FAS website http://fas.sfu.ca/ucc/Papers/. Second year courses are in 2004, 3rd and 4th in 2005 folder.
2. if you are making only a small change in the description, title, prerequisites, use the CourseChangeForm Course Change Forminstead.
3. make a copy of the document and edit it.
4. upload to this page and make the link to the course. Alternatively, email it to Marek (mhatala at sfu dot ca) who will link it in. Uploads are now enabled. Look in the toolbox on the left for upload command.
5. comment on other people's proposal by sending comments directly to the person responsible.

What is important when writting proposal:

1. draw on the content areas in existing SIAT courses. Identify those courses in the "Rationale" section. Also list those courses for deletion.
2. Prerequisites should be kept to the absolute minimum. In general, 2nd year courses have prerequisites minimum 24 credits, 3rd year 48 credits, and if you really want to put the course into year 4 then 69 credits (this should be an exception, tho).
3. more to come as people ask questions...
