The addition of Chem 11 as a prerequisite to KIN 111 will hopefully signal to prospective KIN 111 students that it will help to have some knowledge of chemical symbols, formulae, and simple reactions.
KIN 212 is Food and Society. Its prereqs are KIN 110 (Human Nutrition: Current Issues) and KIN 111 (Food and Food Safety). Students must complete all three of these courses (and others) for the Certificate in Applied Human Nutrition. Those who have taught KIN 212 feel that KIN 111 is not needed as a prerequisite. With only KIN 110 as a prereq, KIN 212 will be more attractive to non-Nutrition Certificate students.
KIN 312 is Nutrition for Fitness and Sport. KIN 303 is Kinanthropometry. When KIN 312 was mounted as a new course we thought that the measurement of body shape, size, and proportion which are covered in KIN 303 would be useful for KIN 312. Those teaching KIN 312 have regularly waived KIN 303 with no apparent effect on the course or the student. Therefore, it does not seem necessary as a prerequisite. Furthermore, KIN 303 is one of seven courses from which those doing our Certificate in Applied Human Nutrition must take three. So, the Certificate students have the opportunity to take KIN 303. If this change is approved those pursuing other courses of study (e.g., Kinesiology major, Bioscience major, PDP major, Kines minor) can take KIN 312 without having to take KIN 303.
KIN 375 is Human Growth and Development. KIN 143 is Exercise Management. KIN 142 (Introduction to Kinesiology) and KIN 105 (Fundamentals of Human Structure and Function) or 205 (Introduction to Human Physiology) are sufficient background for Kin 375.
KIN 351, 352, 451, 452 and 453 are the Co-op practicum courses. KIN 499 is the 12-credit Kinesiology Undergraduate Honors Thesis. Previously we were concerned that it would be too much work for a student to do the honors thesis and a co-op work term in the same semester. Recently Kines faculty have sponsored co-op work terms in their laboratories. Some faculty would like to make the honors thesis work the co-op term. In this case, the thesis research and the Co-op job duties would overlap, and the total work would not be manageable.
These are Directed Study I and Directed Study II. Descriptions are changed as follows.
| Course | Current | Proposed |
|---|---|---|
| KIN 496 |
Directed reading and literature research
on topics selected in consultation with the supervising instructor.
This course may not be repeated for additional credit. A student who
has completed KIN 499 may not receive credit for KIN 496. A short
proposal of the project, approved by the course supervisor must be
submitted for approval to the director before the first registration
period for the semester in which the student plans to register.

The changes reflect current practice in the School of Kinesiology. The Chair of the UPC approves the proposals. Proposals rarely arrive by the registration period. We have approved proposals up to the first week of classes. This has presented no administrative problem, and has not affected the quality of the directed studies.
The provisions under the heading Internal Transfer are changed as follows.
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
Internal TransferSimon Fraser students applying for admission to the School of Kinesiology must complete the following courses with a grade of C- or better: BISC 101-4 General BiologyCHEM 121-4 General Chemistry and Laboratory I CHEM 122-2 General Chemistry II CHEM 281-4 Organic Chemistry I KIN 142-3 Introduction to Kinesiology MBB 221-3 Cellular Biology and Biochemistry one of MATH 151-3 Calculus I MATH 154-3 Calculus I for the Biological Sciences one of MATH 152-3 Calculus II MATH 155-3 Calculus II for the Biological Sciences one of PHYS 101-3 General Physics I PHYS 120-3 Modern Physics and Mechanics one of PHYS 102-3 General Physics II PHYS 121-3 Optics, Electricity and Magnetism one of PHYS 130-2 General Physics Laboratory A PHYS 131-2 General Physics Laboratory B Applicants are selected based on an admission GPA calculated over these 11 required courses together with any of the following four courses taken. KIN 201-3 BiomechanicsKIN 205-3 Introduction to Human Physiology KIN 207-3 Information Processing in Human Motor Systems STAT 201-3 Statistics for the Life Sciences Students may apply for admission as soon as the 11 required courses have been completed. Unsuccessful applicants may take any of the four additional courses to improve the admission GPA. Students who do not meet the kinesiology admission GPA upon completion of all four additional courses will be advised regarding alternative degree options. |

This change would allow students to apply to be approved as Kines majors earlier via internal transfer (i.e. those who are admitted into another program at SFU and subsequently transfer to Kines): 17 credit hours over 5 courses vs. current requirement of 34 credit hours over 11 courses. Students who are not able to be approved at this stage can apply later.
A typographical error in the requirements for the Kinesiology Minor is corrected under the heading Program Requirements, as follows.
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
|
plus 12 additional credit hours or upper division kinesiology courses
|
plus 12 additional credit hours of
upper division kinesiology courses
|
The typo may lead to a misinterpretation of requirements.
The first sentence under Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Kinesiology is changed as follows.
| Current | Proposed |
|---|---|
|
This program is available for students who have already completed a degree.
|
This program is normally available
for students who have completed a degree other than kinesiology.
|
The PBD was designed for those from another discipline. Kines students who want an additional credential could be directed toward the Certificates, the Honors program, or the Graduate program.
