Social Science (300.M_)

Students are required to successfully complete four (4) English courses to obtain their DEC. Courses 603-102 and 603-103 may be taken in either order only after successfully completing 603-101. Course 603-200-MQ is the 4th and last English course required. Click here to view courses list.

Every student needs one of each of the Block “A” and Block “B” courses in order to complete their DEC. For each block, there are four levels of courses: Level 1 , Level 2 , Level 3 and Level 4.
Placement in the appropriate level of French is determined by the students’ high school marks. The French Department reserves the right to change the placement of a student upon written notice. Students take the Block “B” course at the same level as the Block “A” course.
If placement determines that students do not have a college level of proficiency in French, students may be required to take remedial courses to upgrade their knowledge of the language. Click here to view courses list.

Students need three (3) Humanities courses to complete their DEC. Courses 345-101-MQ and 345-102-MQ may be taken in either order, but both must be successfully completed before registering in 345-21x-AB. Click here to view courses list.

The roots of western civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt are examined. Our Greek and Roman heritage, Christianity, barbarian invasions, the fall of the Roman Empire and the first great, uniquely European civilization which took shape during the Middle Ages are also covered. The course emphasizes the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, Age of Discovery, Enlightenment, French Revolution, Industrialization, Nationalism and the Age of Imperialism.

This course introduces students to the scientific study of specific aspects of human behaviour and mental processes including: (1) the evolution of psychological thought and the identification of major psychological perspectives; (2) research methods in the study of Psychology; (3) the biological basis of behaviour, including the structure and function of the brain and nervous systems; (4) cognitive and emotional processes and, (5) learning and human adaptation. Students acquire the basic concepts and processes associated with the study of human behaviour. Further emphasis is placed on the understanding of how this knowledge and these abilities may relate to our lives and how they may apply in varying cultures.

This course familiarizes students with important concepts such as the determination of gross domestic product, unemployment rate, consumer price index, business cycles, creation of money and balance of payments. Fiscal and monetary policies are examined within the context of the Canadian economy. Topics dealing with international trade and finance in relation to the Canadian experience are also discussed.

Quantitative information forms an essential aspect of Social Science research and a major part of the information we receive about the contemporary world through newspapers and other media. This course introduces students to the use and abuse of numbers in social research and reporting. Students learn where numbers come from, what to do with them, and what can be learned from them. The proper uses of basic descriptive statistics and statistical inference are explored through examples from all the Social Sciences. In addition to lectures, students experiment with a variety of quantitative methods using a statistical software package in a weekly laboratory.

The roots of western civilization in Mesopotamia and Egypt are examined. Our Greek and Roman heritage, Christianity, barbarian invasions, the fall of the Roman Empire and the first great, uniquely European civilization which took shape during the Middle Ages are also covered. The course emphasizes the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, Age of Discovery, Enlightenment, French Revolution, Industrialization, Nationalism and the Age of Imperialism.

This course introduces students to the scientific study of specific aspects of human behaviour and mental processes including: (1) the evolution of psychological thought and the identification of major psychological perspectives; (2) research methods in the study of Psychology; (3) the biological basis of behaviour, including the structure and function of the brain and nervous systems; (4) cognitive and emotional processes and, (5) learning and human adaptation. Students acquire the basic concepts and processes associated with the study of human behaviour. Further emphasis is placed on the understanding of how this knowledge and these abilities may relate to our lives and how they may apply in varying cultures.

This course familiarizes students with important concepts such as the determination of gross domestic product, unemployment rate, consumer price index, business cycles, creation of money and balance of payments. Fiscal and monetary policies are examined within the context of the Canadian economy. Topics dealing with international trade and finance in relation to the Canadian experience are also discussed.

Quantitative information forms an essential aspect of Social Science research and a major part of the information we receive about the contemporary world through newspapers and other media. This course introduces students to the use and abuse of numbers in social research and reporting. Students learn where numbers come from, what to do with them, and what can be learned from them. The proper uses of basic descriptive statistics and statistical inference are explored through examples from all the Social Sciences. In addition to lectures, students experiment with a variety of quantitative methods using a statistical software package in a weekly laboratory.

Prerequisite: 360-300-RE
Whereas Quantitative Methods focused on building numeracy skills for social science students, this course focuses on the qualitative elements of social science research across the disciplines. A number of qualitative research and sampling methods are explored through exercises and research reports. Substantial time is also devoted to effective library search techniques and to reading, summarizing and writing assorted and complex texts.

Refer to the Social Science course list for Level 2 courses and prerequisites.

Prerequisite: 300-300-AB
This is the final course for graduating Social Science students. The course draws on previous learning across level one, level two, and general education courses. Each student designs and carries out an independent research project, and reflects on college learning. This project includes interpretation, synthesis and evaluation of their own evolved research problem to theories and topics encountered in prior college learning. This is accomplished in close coordination with a faculty member and student peers throughout the course of the semester. The final research project, presentation, and program reflection serve as the comprehensive assessment for the Social Science Program. This is a required course for the Social Science program and is taken in the student’s graduating semester.
