This is different from cross-listing between Departments, in which the same content at the same level is taught under two or more Department codes and course numbers, e.g., Mennonite Studies I (HIST-2108/MENN-2101/REL-2363). A variety of concerns were raised about issues such as the differentiation between the two levels on course outlines and in the classroom experience of the students; the ability to double-count the same course material if credit were allowed for both levels for the same person; and the deployment of teaching resources, e.g., one course or two? The matter was referred to Senate Academic Planning as an issue with the nature of academic programs. For the past year, a moratorium has been in place on such proposals. Dr. Simon Berge, former chair of the Senate Curriculum Committee, undertook a survey and his summary of the results is attached. Based on a review of the survey results and discussion, Academic Planning is recommending that the practice of offering multi-level courses resume and continue, with some clear expectations in place: A separate course must be proposed and created for each level desired. The course descriptions for the two levels should not be identical; students should be able to see clearly the distinction between the two levels in order to decide which is more suitable for them. At the least, the higher-level course should have phrasing like an advanced study of X. Similarly, there should be a separate course outline for each course, that clearly articulates how the workload, readings, assignments, etc. differ for each cohort. Students should normally only be able to count one of the two courses toward their degree. The courses will be equated in the Student Information System (SIS), with restrictions, e.g., Students may not hold credit for both ANTH-3100 and ANTH-4100. A Department may authorize a waiver of the restriction to allow both courses to be counted for credit in special circumstances, where the content or treatment of the subject has differed sufficiently between the two courses. Students who enter an Honours program subsequent to taking a lower-level version of a course should not be retroactively given credit for the 4000-level course unless they do additional work to achieve the learning outcomes of the 4000-level version; Equating the courses in the SIS triggers the scheduling of the courses together. When timetabling, Departments would be able to work with Scheduling to offer one level of course without the equated course, if that was desired in a given year.
