5.4.0 NEW BUSINESS

4.1 Guel~h-HumberBASc Admission Requirements

M. Nightingale explained that the BASc program at Guelph-Humber had requested a change to the entrance requirements for its programs. Guelph-Humber was the only institution in the GTA that required a grade 12U level mathematics course for entry into the program and a number of keen applicants were thus discouraged from applying to Guelph-Humber. He noted that the situation was such that Guelph-Humber had been making a number of exceptions to the requirement to allow students to enter and those students had not performed any worse or better than students who had entered with the credit. He had consulted with Kerry Daly, the Acting Chair of FRAN, which also offers BASc programs, and there had been no concerns about the Guelph-Humber program having different admission requirements.

In answer to a question, he noted that there was no entry level or remedial mathematics course once the students were admitted, but none of the competing programs in the GTA had such an option either. He did note that Guelph-Humber was thinking about developing a math elective. The Chair noted that it would be important for Guelph-Humber to monitor the progress of students who entered without the mathematics courses and provide remediative programs if that proved necessary.

Lane-VetereIEmes MOTION: that the proposed changes to the admission requirement for the BASc programs offered at University of Guelph-Humber be approved and forwarded to Senate. The vote was taken on the motion. The motion was carried.

4.2 Schedule of Dates for 2006-2007

GrayIMathews MOTION: that the Schedule of Dates for 2006-2007 be approved and forwarded to Senate.

The vote was taken on the motion. The motion was carried.

4.3 Credit for Courses Taken While on Rustication - Editorial Amendment

The Chair noted that this proposal was simply to correct an inconsistency in calendar language in different sections of the Calendar with respect to the prohibition of students enrolling in courses while on suspension for academic misconduct.

EmesISchnaar MOTION: that the proposed calendar amendments regarding credit for courses taken while on rustication be approved.

The vote was taken on the motion. The motion was carried.

)NEW PROGRAMS (DEGREE, MAJOR, MINOR. AREA OF CONCENTRATION OR AREA OF EMPHASIS): Note: All new degree programs and specializations (majors, minors, areas of concentration or areas of emphasis) must receive a recommendation for approval from the Enrolment Coordinating Committee (ECC). ECC ensures that the new program is consistent with the strategic plans, directions and growth of the university.

What will the impact be on existing programs, i.e. w~llstudents move to th~sprogram from existing programs or is this program expected to attract new students? Students in the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (who take a minor in ArtslSocial Sciences and one in Sciences) have expressed an interest in minoring in European Studies. Quoting from a memo from Donna Pennee, Chair of the BAS Program Committee, (April 5,2004): "The BAS program committee has enthusiastically welcomed the possibility of adding a minor in European Culture and Civilization to the ArtslSocial Sciences minor options for BAS students." In general, a number of students and prospective students (as Campus Day events) with interdisciplinary and international interests have asked about the possibility of a Minor in European Culture. For instance, some students majoring in International Development have expressed interest in European Studies, but cannot take it as a second major, since the requirements of the two programs are too numerous. Another such group are students interested in European Studies who have to opt in favour of a single-discipline major because they plan to go on to graduate studies (a major in European Studies can lead directly to graduate studies in International Relations, but is not deemed sufficient preparation for an M.A. in a single discipline).

Regarding impact oi.1 existing programs; this will likely be minimal, as there are no competing interdisciplinary minor programs.

2) Program Obiectives: What are the objectives of this program and how does it serve the undergraduate curriculum? The minor in European Culture and Civilization is designed for students interested in the interdisciplinary study of European culture and history, and in learning a foreign language. Students will take courses in languages, history of European culture, literature, the arts, philosophy, history and political science. The program represents a significant contribution to the university's objective of internationalization.

3) University Learning Obiectives: How will this program enable students to achieve the University's learning objectives, and which of the learning objectives are particularly addressed (see Learning Objectives): The program addresses the following learning objectives: Literacy (I)- most of the courses featured are humanities courses which are both reading and writing intensive; several will involve research papers. Analytical skills will also be fostered. Sense of Historical Development (3) - historical development is a central aspect of the minor in European Culture and Civilization (something it shares with the major in European Studies). Three of the required courses explore the history of European culture from the mid 18'~century to the present, with special attention given to broad trends and long-tertn developments, as well as to the complex interaction between culture and socio-political conditions (these courses were especially designed for the major in European Studies). In addition, students will take one course in European history and another in either art history or Western music. Global Understanding (4) -this also is a central aspect: in addition to the requirements outlined above (all contributing to the understanding of the culture and history of countries outside Canada), students will take four courses in a foreign language (including a

European Studies - Minor in European Culture and Civilization - Form A - 2006-2007 Page I of 4 civilizationlculture course), one in a foreign literature, and may take a political science course with European or international focus. Moral Maturity (5) - study and research of cultural, political and social developments of other times and places requires both an intellectual and an empathetic effort, and so contributes to openness of mind and to awareness of the biases of one's own culture, and to a more sophisticated understanding of it and its genesis (as well as of the foreign cultures) Aesthetic Maturity (6) - the minor involves study of European art, music, and literature, both singly and in their relationship to each other; in the core courses in particular, specific attention is given to the aesthetic theories of each period and movement studied. Depth and Breadth of Understanding (7) - breadth is provided by the survey courses, depth by the more advance, discipline-specific courses and the research papers involved in some of these. Most of the courses will help the students develop analytical skills. Independence of Thought (9) - Papers (research and text interpretations) in most courses - see above. = Love of Learning (10) -the program will foster intellectual curiosity, openness to and interest in new ideas and other cultures, and draw students' attention to the many ways in which the past has shaped the present (and so foster a desire to learn about the past).

4) Administration: What departmentlacademic unit will be responsible for the administration of this program and for counselling students? What consultation has taken place with other departmentslproyrams/institutions participating in the program? Please provide evidence of this consultation. School of Languages and Literatures will be responsible for the administration of this program. The following schoolsldepartments have been consulted: History, Philosophy, School of Fine Art and Music, Political Science.

5) Admission Requirements (new deqrees only): What are the admission requirements for this degree program? Not applicable.

6) Resources: What are the resource implications of this program? How will the program be funded? Requirements for this Minor are drawn entirely from courses already in existence. The courses offered by SOLAL (the EURO courses, most of the language courses) have the capacity to accommodate increased enrolments. If enrolments should rise beyond those predicted at the moment, it is possible that teaching assistants will need to be hired for the EURO courses or new sections of some language courses may need to be opened (see attached report). As for courses drawn from other departments (SOFAM, History, Political Science, Philosophy), students will choose one course from a list, so that increases in enrolment in any one course will likely be minimal (probably well under 10, as there is no reason to expect clustering in any particular course).

7) Library resources: Does the library have adequate resources to provide for this program (consult T. Sauer, ext. 531 50)? A copy of the library's assessment must be attached. Again, as the minor does not involve the creation of any new courses, the impact on library resources will be minimal. A library assessment is attached.

8) Calendar copy: Please attach the proposed calendar copy for this program, including the S and any new courses.

I This course deals with why animals behave as they do with reference to causation, function, ontogeny and phylogeny. Basic principles are illustrated by examples taken from all the common agricultural species. Ways in which animal production systems may be improved by applying behavioural knowledge are discussed. Strategies for designing animal facilities and management procedures to suit the behaviour of the animals are also considered.

The course is designed to foster the ability of students to : understand the principles of animal behaviour understand methods of recording and analysing animal behaviour interpret and critically evaluate the literature on farm animal behaviour present animal behaviour topics in a well-structured and convincingly-argued way, through written papers and oral presentations

Topics will be presented using traditional lecture format enhanced with multi-media presentations and classroom discussion. The major paper for the course will involve researching the literature for the role of behaviour and learning in reproduction, food intake, animal handling, herd or flock stability or some other aspect of animal production. Assignments will involve detailed examination of web-sites dealing with particular aspects of behaviour and then completing a questionnaire on the topic.

Approved by Senate: ANSC 4100 (3-0) Environmental Management and Animal Productivity

Course Description: Understanding animalstbiological responses to the environment is essential for providing good animal care and maintaining optimum performance. This course is designed for all students interested in the care and management of agricultural, laboratory, zoo or companion animals.

We will cover basic concepts of environmental physiology and their application to animal housing and management. The course will review the physics of heat flow, light and air quality as they relate to animal biology. Other environmental factors that influence health and welfare will also be covered.

Course Objectives: To enable students to develop a basic understanding of animals' biological responses to the environment and how these responses influence health, productivity and well-being.

To give students the opportunities to integrate their knowledge of animalst environmental requirements into the desip- of appropriate housing systems.

Topics will be presented using traditional lecture format enhanced with muli-media presentations and classroom discussion. The major paper for the course involves the design of an animal facility for a species of choice. Assignments will inchde exercises in fan ventilation analysis and equipment design.

Major Paper: In this exercise students will be required to design an animal house and management system. The purpose of this exercise is to give students the opportunity to review the current information regarding the physical and behavioral requirements of a given species of captive animal and to integrate the information into the design and management of an animal house that will maximize animal productivity and promote well-being.

The first part of the assignment will include the design of the facility and illustrations and/or descriptions of: 1) basic materials, layout and construction of the building 2) brief description of heating and ventilation systems, including temperature requirements; 3) lighting system (types, sshedules, levels of illumination) 4) flooring and equipment (pen sizes, feeder and water designlsize, crate design) 5) handling facility

The second part of the assignment will include a review of the scientific literature regarding a special aspect of the biological, physical or social environment that can affect the health, productivity or well being of the captive animal. Students will address why it is important, what is known about it and how it has been considered in facility design.

The effects of regrouping on the behaviour, performance and measures of stress response in growing pigs

Introduction The social behaviour of pigs is characterized by the establishment of a dominance hierarchy in which dominant animals may gain priority access to the feeder or preferred lying areas in the pen. In the swine industry, groups of pigs are commonly mixed as they are moved from the nursery to the growinglfinishing barn and during the finishing phase before marketing. Regrouping results in the pigs having to re-establish a hierarchy within the new social group and may result in aggression and reduced feed intake. The objectives of this experiment are to determine the effects of regrouping on the behaviour, performance and physiological indicators of stress in growing pigs.

Methods Four pens of 4 pigs will be housed in the Animal Science Teaching Barn (N=16). They will be held in identical pens, with equal floor areas, feeder space and number of water nipples. Activity patterns, average daily gain and feed intake will be recorded for one week. At the end of the week, pigs in two of the pens will be held in intact social groups and simply moved to new pens. The other two groups will be mixed, with half of the pigs from each pen being allotted to a new social group in a new pen. Activity patterns, average daily gain and feed intake will be recorded for the two weeks following mixing.

Data Collection - Measure and describe characteristics of the physical and social environments - Develop hypotheses and data collection techniques to test those hypotheses - Measure and record weekly body weights and feed intakes - Conduct behavioural observations -Collect saliva samples 24 hours before and 1,6 and 24 hours after mixing. -Determine any effects of a change in social group on salivary cortisol concentrations

Sample Laboratory Project #2 , The influence of effective environmental temperature on the performance, behaviour and physiological measures of thermal adaptation in broilers

Introduction The thermal environment influences the amount of energy that animals can allocate to productive processes. Animals kept in cool environments must divert energy to heat production in order to maintain their body temperature. Environmental heat demand depends not only on air temperature, but also on other environmental factors such as floor type, air velocity and group size. The objectives of this experiment are to determine the effects of air temperature and floor type on the performance, behaviour and endocrine status of growing broilers.

Methods Four pens of five broilers will be housed in each of two environmental chambers at Arkell Poultry Research Station (N=40). In each chamber, two pens of birds will have a concrete floor covered with wood shavings, while the other two pens of birds will be have a wire floor. All pens will be furnished with a perch and one feeder and drinker. The birds will be moved from the brooder house to the chambers at approximately two weeks of age and held for 3 days at 28OC to adjust to the new environment. Following the adjustment period, one chamber will be maintained at 18OC and the other at 2g°C. Average daily gain and feed intake will be measured over a three-week period. Behaviour will be recorded to determine any differences in thermoregulatory behaviour, perch use or activity patterns.

Data Collection

-Measure and describe characteristics of the thermal environment in the pens - Develop hypotheses and data collection techniques to test those hypotheses - Measure and record body weights, feed intakes and conduct behavioural observations. -Collect blood samples from the brachial vein from half of the birds in each pen at the start of the experiment after the birds have adjusted to the chambers and during weeks 2and 3 after birds have been exposed to the different thermal environments. -Determine any effects of effective environmental temperature on plasma concentrations of thyroid hormone and glucose

TERM PAPER/PRESENTATION

Much of the information relevant to pet and exotic animal nutrition is disseminated broadly through the scientific literature, rather than being concentrated in a few specialized journals. As an adjunct to the material presented in the lecture component of the course, students are required to carry out an in-depth review of a relevant topic of their choice and to present their results, appropriately referenced, either as a term paper or oral presentation (see below). Topics may focus on a particular species (nutrition and feeding of the ferret, budgerigar or iguana, for example) or some specific aspect within a species (such as fibre digestion in dogs, taurine utilization by cats or whatever). Whether intended as a paper or presentation, $J topics must be cleared with the professor to prevent inappropriate duplication or overlap between students.

TERM PAPER Students will prepare a 1,200 h 100 word paper on the topic chosen. The topic must be finalized by September 29th. A list of 5 annotated references central to the thesis of the paper must be submitted on October 2oth. This will be reviewed, graded and returned by October 27th. The final paper is due November 17'~and must include relevant tables afidor figures to support the text. Referencing should follow the current Journal of Nutrition style. The word count for the text component should be included.

Allocation of marks: Annotated references 5% Final paper 25%

PRESENTATION Students will prepare a 15-minute presentation on their topic, to be followed by a 5- minute question period. The topic must be finalized by September 29th. A one-page abstract (250 =k 50 words) of the content of the presentation, accompanied by 5 key references, is due October 2othand will be reviewed, graded and returned by October 27th. Presentations will be scheduled during the seminar time slot on November 11, 18, 25 and December 2 as needed, to an audience consisting of the professor and other presenters. Presenters must attend 2 presentation sessions besides the one they actually present in. Computer-generated visual aids must accompany the oral presentation. References for the abstract, a corrected version of which will be distributed by the student at the presentation, should follow the current Journal of Nutrition style.

Note that the presentation option is restricted to a maximum of 20 students.

Course Restriction: ABIO Majors

Prerequisites:

ANSC"3080 Agricultural Animal Physiology

Course Description: Livestock and fish have developed common and unique defense strategies for resisting microbial and viral infections. The focus of this course is to review and compare these defense mechanisms in different tissues, and describe the sigbificance of neuroendocrine signaling, genetic polyrnorphisms, nutrition and food-borne toxins, and host-microbial interaction in regulating innate and acquired immune responses and disease resistance.

Course Format: The course will involve two weekly 1 112-hour lectures and a major review term paper. The student's knowledge of the course material will be assessed through midterm and final exams, and a review term paper.

Responsibilities of the Instructor

o To provide educational guidance for the students by creating an interactive environment that encourages self and group learning o To foster critical thinking o To objectively assess students knowledge of the course material

Contribution to learning objectives:

1) Literary - A substantive term paper is required. 2) Numerary - The course requires interpretation of statistical data. 3) Sense of historical development - This will be discussed as the evolution of immunology in recent decades. 7) Understanding of forms of enquiry - This course broadens student knowledge from the whole animal through to the molecule. 8) Depth of understanding - This course will provide a good understanding of immunology as it relates to domesticated species. Responsibilities of the Students

J o To master the course material

o To attend lectures and not be a disturbance to the rest of the class

o To be prepared to participate in an individual and group-learning environment.

The REVIEW TERM PAPER will be a detailed review of host-pathogen interaction in the context of a specific fish, or livestock-related disease. The review should include pathogen-specific mechanisms for infection and survival within the host, and important defense mechanisms that the host uses to prevent and terminate infection.

Material for the Review Term Paper

Students will be expected to use online literature databases to find articles related to their topic of interest. Three commonly used databases are provided below. PubMed (http://\;vww.ncbi.nlrn.nih.pov/) Agricola (http:llivww2.uo~uelph.cdlibrar~/iinx/ixurr;.cfm?=sci). HighWire (http://www.I~iinhwire.~r~/).

Once you have searched the above databases for relevant journal articles, in some cases a direct link to the article is provided. A large number of journals are also available online through the University of Guelph Library (htt~://www.lib.uo~e1~11.ca/).

The review term paper should be 3000-4000 words, spell checked by a word processor, and follow the format and referencing outline in the journal, Nature Reviews in Immunology

(i) Academic Dept. Responsible: Animal and Poultry Science

(ii) Course Objectives:

These complementary library and research-oriented courses are intended for final year students majoring in ABIO. It is expected that only a small proportion of ABIO students in each year will be attracted to 4700147 10. This is because the large majority of ABIO students apply to the DVM Program and select courses most appropriate for that ambition. Nevertheless, within ABIO, each year a small number of students (approximately 10) express interest in a Graduate Program at UoG or elsewhere. Since ABIO has, since it's inception, rather focused on the pre-DVM applicant, APS has decided to now broaden the ABIO requirements and offer 470014710 as a senior literaturelresearch course as an elective for this small number of students. This type of course is consistent among the majority of science majors at UoG and the addition of these courses could be regarded as a step towards academic maturity for the ABIO option.

The primary focus of 4700147 i 0 will be the preparation of a substantive literature review relating to a specific topic previously agreed upon by the student and their chosen instructor. In 4700, it is anticipated that this would resemble the literature review found in a typical M.Sc. by thesis in APS (30-50 pages double-spaced, 50-150 citations). Student and instructor would work together during the semester to develop the topiclproblem and establish an appropriate structure for writing the review. Subsequently, the instructor would assist by critically appraising the review according to accepted standards for scientific writing, completeness, depth and balance of argument and appropriateness of conclusions. If time is available, the review should also include suggestions for a related research proposal.

Should a student elect 4710 to follow 4700, then a commitment by the instructor to provide some data for analysis or some research resources will be required. In the case of 4710, using the review prepared in 4700, the instructor and student will develop a further related problem for research. This will require a statement of hypothesis, an appropriate experimental design and suggested statistical analysis, and further review of required methodologies. Preparation of an himal Use Protocol, and other UoG protocols might also be required.

Students in 4700 and 4710 will be required to meet as a group at the end of the ~ semester for orallposter presentations of the most salient findings from the literature review. Evaluations will be based upon written reports and performance in orallposter presentations.

This approach will satisfy most of the University's learning objectives. In particular, the course will most profoundly address issues related to literacy, not only in it's broad sense, but more specifically in relation to precisely and accurately summarizing and reporting on the scientific method. In 47 10, issues of numeracy will also be important. Since a number of students will choose topics related to nutritional modeling or quantitative geneticslanimal breeding, aspects of numeracy will, for some, also be important in 4700. Perhaps most importantly will be an opportunity for students to be inspired by an independent approach to learning and knowledge-discovery as a preludeltest ground for future academic efforts post- graduation.

(iii) Material to be covered:

Students will self-select their instructors within APS or related Departments. This will tend to focus their work in one of the three major disciplines within APS (nutrition, animal breeding and genetics, or applied physiology). Hence, completion of 14 credits from the ABIO Program are required to ensure the students have some background in their chosen area of study. It is then expected that students rely on recent original journal citations or reviews for their research. Given the substantive APS Graduate Program, there are no issues vlv Library holdings or access to information that would restrict students in 470014710. The course depth is intended to represent the transition fiom undergraduate to graduate levels of activity.

(iv) Presentation:

Substantially, independent study is required. Some students may employ case studies or the use of field data in their projects, but most of the work is library-based or centered within the laboratory of the instructor. Students are required to prepare reports in "mini-thesis" style and report their findings orallylas a poster in a manner typical of a learned scientific conference.

(v) Evaluation:

The report (thesis style): 1. Outline 10% 2. Interim draft 20% 3. Final version 50%

Presentation (orallposter) 20%

(vi) Reasons for course:

To prepare ABIO students for Graduate Programs. Realistically, not all ANBIO students will choose to enter the DVM Program. Nevertheless, many have a deep- seated interest in animals and some become attracted to studies on livestock or closely related species during their ANBIO experience. These students often carry on A- average or better, and are most suitable for admission to Graduate Programs. A research career also provides these students with an alternate career choice should the DVM opportunity not materialize. It is expected that only ABIO students will be accepted into thislthese courses as a purely elective option. Enrolment is expected to be relatively small (up to 10 students per year).

(vii) Resources:

' No new resources are required. Instructors will be expected to commit some of their own resources on the assumption that these are collateral benefits fkom the student involvement that will enrich their research program or that students will be attracted to continue with them (or colleagues) as M.Sc. students upon completion of the ABIO major.

(viii) Consultation with other Departments:

None at this time since this new offering is meant to serve ABIO students within APS. Nevertheless, once these courses are established, it would be highly appropriate to enlist faculty instructors from related Departments should opportunities present themselves (ie. Population Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Pathobiology, Integrative Biology, HBNS, for example).

The following information must be provided in a cover memo, along with the completed template:

Academic department: Plant Agriculture

Course: HORT*3350 Woody Plant Production and Culture

Course objectives: to become familiar with and use sources of information related to nursery stock production and arboriculture; to develop an understand the diversity, complexity, and some of the principles and practices of nursery stock production; to understand and articulate appropriate and accepted techniques for planting, pruning and other landscape tree maintenance practices; to demonstrate the skills to communicate effectively with woody plant professionals

Relevance to University's learning objectives: 1. Students will enhance their literacy by writing a paper cad presenting a seminar on a topic of the students choice that demonstrates a breadth of knowledge, insight and understanding. 3. Students will learn to appreciate the connections of nursery production and urban tree care to the broader contextual history of plant production and urban vegetation. 4. Students will further develop a sense of the broad connectivity of nursery production and urban tree care between North American and European approaches. 5. Students will increase their skills to make moral judgements, particularly in relation to the environment, in applying the principles and practices of nursery production and urban tree care. 6. Students will further their understanding and appreciation of the visual values and issues related to the production and care of landscape plants. 7. Students will become more familiar with forms of inquiry through required reading as well as in the search for information based on a systematic approach to nursery production and urban tree care. A systematic approach is also demonstrated in lecture material presentation. 8. Students will enhance their depth and breadth of understanding by developing a greater body of knowledge from which they will be able to generate a more thorough grasp of the environmental and social implications of nursery stock production and urban tree care. 9. Students will further their ability to think through production and maintenance issues related to landscape plants, as well as to develop their opinions on plant issues in the urban environment. 10 Students will further their love of learning partly through their direct personal laboratory experiences as diverse as nursery visits and pruning campus shrubs, and partly by further developing their curiosity about the implications of woody plant production and maintenance.

Dear Dr. Sears, I am writing to you regarding Dr. Helen Fisher (Plant Agriculture, Vineland) proposal for a new course entitled HORT*3XXX Wine-Grape Culture. It is intended that this course be offered through distance education. This proposal has been examined and approved by the Department of Plant Agriculture Undergraduate Teaching Committee and by Dr. Gary Ablett, Department Chair. We have taken into account comments made by the department and by the B. Sc Agr. Progra Committee (as formulated at its March 24th2005 meeting). The revised version is attached to this memo. We are conscious of the need to have Office of Open Learning approval of this proposal for this course to go ahead. We have initiated talks with Virginia Gray and a meeting has been scheduled between her and Drs. Fisher and Ablett (see attached emails). Because some of our faculty are located at satellite campuses (Vineland and Simcoe) it has been challenging for them to be as involved in teaching as would be desirable. Indeed it has been part of our department's strategy to foster and encourage the delivery of courses through distance education so as to increase teaching opportunities for these faculty members. Many of these potential instructors have unique expertise and could contribute to very specialised courses. We hope this proposal shall be received favourably by this committee.

Looking forward to your comments,

Yours truly,

Franqois Tardif

11: Objectives

Specific course obiectives: This course is intended to give science students an opportunity to study a unique crop that has worldwide horticultural significance but also a distinct role in history and society. Wine is a beverage often studied in the absence of good science, particularly the role of modem viticulture. Specific goals are as follows; 1. To understand the historical importance of grapes and wine in civilization 2. To understand the importance of species diversity as it relates to Vitis 3. To understand how critical site selection can be in the success of new vineyards particularly in new viticultural areas 4. To understand the physiological basis of vine balance and crop quality 5. To understand the development of wine quality in the vineyard and the managerial decisions that impact this 6. To understand the integration of science and art in the making and assessment of wine

Meeting University teaching objectives This is an opportunity to develop literacy from an analytical perspective. The viticultural literature is written from many different points of view, some based on good science and some based on blind tradition. Wine as an end product is very complex and the student will be expected to analyse the viticultural influences on its final quality. Students will also be given a semester long project that will demand good referencing skills combined with good writing skills. The student must develop a problem or a hypothesis, gather appropriate contradictory or supporting evidence and conclude using good scientific logic.

Numeracy will be addressed as the students view the scientific evidence supporting or disproving various hypotheses. Many viticultural traditions are not appropriate for New World conditions and science must be used to define good agricultural management. Students will be expected to follow detailed scientific studies, interpret statistical analyses of the trials and come to a logical conclusion.

C -> A sense of history will be a very important part of this course as North America had a vev-, important role in both the near destruction and the recovery of Old World viticulture after th'e devastating agricultural plagues of the late 19~century. Viticulture and oenology have also

I had an intimate association with many ancient and modem civilizations.

Global understanding will come with the contrast between Old World viticulture and New World viticulture, the one derived but distinctly separate fkom the other. Viticulture is a world science and techniques developed in one hemisphere rapidly affect another - north and south, east and west. The world industry is very closely integrated.

Moral maturity will be addressed in the discussions of the use and development of alcoholic beverages, particularly wine, and their role in society

Aesthetic maturity will be addressed in the discussion of wine and wine quality, as much of the perception of wine quality is embedded in that which is difficult to quantify scientifically. A winemaker's passion about hisher art may be impossible to define but palpable in a conversation about their out-of-the-ordinary wines. This should instill a respect in the students for the artistic nature of winemaking.

This course will concentrate on the scientific method, but other forms of inquiry will be addressed in the sections on the history and philosophy of wine and society.

Depth and breadth of understanding will be tested by the very nature of the subject itself. Agriculture being the integration of many sciences, the students will have to grasp the concept of multiple answers for many specific problems. The nature of hitquality for winemaking is such that many natural events as well as many managerial decisions will have profound effects. The students will have to integrate their knowledge of woody plant physiology, soil science, agrometeorology, plant pathology, plant nutrition and many other branches of science to formulate an answer in a dynamic agricultural situation.

Independence of thouat will be encouraged by challenging traditional Old World viticulture with New World concepts, using examples of transplanted production systems that are inappropriate. The whole concept of "band-aid fixes" and "enlightened solutions" to viticultural problems should develop the power to critically observe and develop scientifically sound management decisions.

Love of learning is difficult to instill in a reluctant student. However, by encouraging personal involvement, perhaps this attitude can be changed.

111. Summary of material to be covered: This course will cover: The grape in history, particularly the role of North American grape modern history of viticulture, distribution and evolution of the wine indust The taxonomy of Vitis, as well as the anatomy and morphology of juice and table grape scion and rootstock species. (3 hr) Concepts in woody plant physiology, particularly flowering, fruiting and the annual j growth cycle (3 hr) and the balance between vegetative and reproductive growth for cropping and winter hardiness control (3 hr). The development of vineyard management strategies to maximize quality, including trellising and pruning strategies (3 hr), cropping level control (3 hr), canopy management (3 hr), soil and nutrition management (3 hr) and irrigation strategies (3 hr) The use of climatic data, site selection and variety/rootstock selection to develop the perfect vineyard or analyse failures (3 hr) Planning, planting and managing a vineyard - the practicalities (3 hr) The definition of wine quality and its relationship to vineyard management, integrated with the contrast between Old World and New World philosophies in vineyard management (3 hr).

Students will be expected to have a general knowledge of botany, whole plant physiology, soil science, plant nutrition and plant protection to be able to integrate the above ideas into a comprehensive term psrper.

IV Methods of presentation The course material would be presented as illustrated lectures and with lists of additional readings and/or web links to be posted electronically thrice weekly.

V: Methods of evaluation There would be short answer quizzes every 2 weeks - 3-4 questions only, based on the weekly readings and lecture notes. Two multiple-choice mid-terms would be set as well as one term paper and one written final.

Quizzes: 20% (563 4 marks each) Midterm 1: 15% Midterm 2: 15% Term Paper: 20% Final: 30% Total: 100%

VI Reason for the course offering

Course scheduling This course will complement the horticulture programme that presently only offers Fruit Production HORT 4420 as a general course. This will allow students with more interest in this crop to take a course that will not physically interfere with an already full programme, since it will be offered only as an electronic course. This course will also offer another science elective that would be of interest to non- agriculture majors that have a good background in biology. This course could be re-scheduled to any of three semesters, once the framework is established. This would give honours students more flexibility to add it to their programme. General interestfor a degree-level distance course Wine and grapes are both of great interest to a very wide range of the public and many inquiries come to this office regarding the availability of this level of viticulture as a distance course. There is a serious gap in the distance courses available that are appropriate for cool/cold climate viticulture in eastern North America. There is great interest in expanding the wine industry to areas outside the conventional designated viticultural areas. These new growers and many existing growers are seriously interested in improving their education in this field but cannot access electronic or distance courses at this level. This degree credit course will fill in a gap not being offered in eastern Canada. It is possible that university equivalents could be generated that would be accepted to some of the full time viticllltural programmes being offered at Brock University or Niagara College or potentially Loyalist College.

VII List of resource needs This course would require computer support for a web-based course delivery. A website would have to be developed for student access for the downloading of lectures and readings. A question box would be required for individual inquiries.

Evaluations during the term would be electronic, with a quizzes and midterms posted and answered electronically. Final and term papers could be electronicaiiy submitted but would be hand marked.

Vlll Evidence of consultation with other departments This course was developed in response to inquiries for degree level instruction in this field. The use of BOT 2100 as a pre-requisite was taken as a standard level of background required for HORT 4420, as it would include BIOL 1040, the lower level prerequisite fsr other HORT courses. (Note: Plant Agriculture Undergrad Teaching committee recommended adding AGR*2470 Introduction to Plant Agriculture as an other acceptable prerequisite)

Open Learning was consulteci since OAC Access #606 - Viticulture - was due for revision and be developed into a web-based course. It was thought that a higher level, distance education degree equivaIent course would be a more useful offering and that the hard copy version of OAC-Access #606 be discontinued in that form (see attached 2004).

Approved by Senate: MEMO Mar. 22,2005 1 Re: Proposal to change course SOIL*2200 Environmental Issues in Agroecosystems to SOIL*3XXX Environmental Issues in Agriculture and Landscape Management.

To: BSc Agr Program Committee From: S.G. Hilts, Chair, Land Resource Science

Background: Due to the continuing restructuring of the BSc(Agr) Program, it is proposed that this 2ndyear course be elevated to the 3d year, and the content broadened beyond its current focus on agriculture to also suit the new 'Landscape' stream in the BSc(Agr). It may also attract students outside the BSc(Agr) program. The basic content, covering issues such as groundwater, climate change, environmental geology, nutrient management and land use planning is directly relevant to the new proposed majors in Urban Landscape Management and Turf Management as well as agriculture. Therefore, with some broadening of examples used in teaching the course, and wider terms of reference for the assignments, we believe that this course can usefully serve this new area within the BSc(Agr), while remaining very relevant to students interested in production agriculture. At the same time, by being offered at the 3rdyear level, it will provide one required course that will bring all the students in the 'Landscape' stream together during that year. This will also enable treatment of topics at a more advanced level, as students will be more likely to have completed basic courses in soil science, agrometeorology, etc.

We would appreciate the Program Committee's advice on the last sentence of the Course

ii. Objectives of the course: The objective of this course will be to provide students with an un the science behind, and the policy context for, current agroecosystems and landscape management. For all students in the degree, it will provide a key follow-up to the required soils courses in second year; for students in the Landscape Stream it will also provide a core course bringing students from different majors together in 3rdyear. For students from other programs it will provide exposure to these issues in an agricultural and rural landscape context. The course will focus on the critical practical environmental issues in agriculture and landscape management in Ontario and Canada today.

The course will contribute to several of the University Learning Objectives, particularly sense of historical development, global understanding, moral maturity, understanding of forms of inquiry, depth and breadth of understanding, and independence of thought. The issues will be presented in their historical context, providing evidence of how current challenges change over time. While the focus will be on Ontario, comparison to similar issues and policies in other countries around the world will be included. The challenge of dealing with current policy issues will assist students in dealing with moral maturity. The contrast between policy and science will help them understand different forms of inquiry. Clearly this course will provide both a broad understanding of the environmental issues in agriculture and landscape management, and some depth on each issue. Discussing the pros and cons of these issues and the associated policies will foster independence of thought.

Summary of material to be covered:

Introduction:- relationships between science and policy in agriculture and landscape management (1 week)

Stewardship plans as an example of bringing science to practical application in a policy context (1 week)

The land use planning process, including provincial policies, with emphasis on policies related to agriculture, open space, and the rural landscape (1 week)

Agrogeology in an international context, other international issues (1.5 weeks)

Glacial geology and its impact on agricultural capability, its relationship to groundwater issues, and aggregate resources (1.5 weeks)

Climate change and its influence on land stewardship - Kyoto, greenhouse gases, and carbon sequestration (2 weeks)

Nutrient Management - the Nutrient Management Act and the issues involved in both manure and fertilizer management and surface and groundwater contamination; including the public health issues surrounding the presence of pathogens in surface and groundwater (1 week) [covered in greater depth in AGR*2320]

Natural resources, including forests, wetlands, and wildlife - conservat and their programs (1 week) iv. methods of presentation (e.g. lecture, seminar, case study, etc.) This course will be taught using a combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and group discussion. We plan to offer considerable flexibility in the content of assignments, to accommodate students with a range of backgrounds in the course.

General Information

Primary Instructor: Dr. Richard J. Heck, Department of Land Resource Science office: RICH 109 phone: 824-2140 ext 52450 email: [email protected]

Calendar Description: This course has field (tour/camp runs during weekpreceding fall semester), laboratory and classroom components. It focuses on soil spatial and temporal variability, evaluating soil properties in relation to controlling factors and processes, on local to global scales. Students are exposed to standad procedures for collecting soil data, in the field and laboratory, highlighting sampling design and data extrapolation, as well as relevant applications of digital imaging of soil (micropedology) and landscapes. Principles of soil classification are discussed and several systems are introduced, emphasizing the Canadian System of Soil Classification; key concepts associated with the production of soil maps and reports as well as the role of geographic information systems, in archiving and interpreting soil information, are also examined. Students are required to notify the designated departmental instructor, of their intention to participate in this course, during the previous winter semester (or earlier, if going on exchange programs). A fee is charged to partially cover costs of field activities. Prerequisites: one of SOIL*3060, SOIL*3070, SOIL*3080, SOIL*3200 or GEOL*3130. Equate: SOIL*4170 or SQIL*3170 Restrictions: B.Sc.(Agr.)

Re: Proposal to change course SOIL*2200 Environmental Issues in Agroecosystems to SOIL*3XXX Environmental Issues in Agriculture and Landscape Management.

To: BSc Agr Program Committee From: S.G. Hilts, Chair, Land Resource Science

Background: Due to the continuing restructuring of the BSc(Agr) Program, it is proposed that this 2" year course be elevated to the 3" year, and the content broadened beyond its current focus on agriculture to also suit the new 'Landscape' stream in the BSc(Agr). It may also attract students outside the BSc(Agr) program. The basic content, covering issues such as groundwater, climate change, environmental geology, nutrient management and land use planning is directly relevant to the new proposed majors in Urban Landscape Management and Turf Management as well as agriculture. Therefore, with some broadening of examples used in teaching the course, and wider terms of reference for the assignments, we believe that this course can usefully serve this new area within the BSc(Agr), while remaining very relevant to students interested in production agriculture. At the same time, by being offered at the 3" year level, it will provide one required course that will bring all the students in the 'Landscape' stream together during that year. This will also enable treatment of topics at a more advanced level, as students will be more likely to have completed basic courses in soil science, agrometeorology, etc.

We would appreciate the Program Committee's advice-onthe last sentence of the Course Description. Should we leave it as is, or indicate that 'This course is designed for students in the B.Sc.(Agr.) program, and treat the course as largely limited to those stude

f :- ii. Objectives of the course: i .-

The objective of this course will be to provide students with an unders&ding of both-. ^ the science behind, and the policy context for, current environment& i~'s~k~'-in' agroecosystems and landscape management. For all students in the degree, it will provide a key follow-up to the required soils courses in second year; for students in the Landscape Stream it will also provide a core course bringing students fiom different majors together in 3rdyear. For students fi-om other programs it will provide exposure to these issues in an agricultural and rural landscape context. The course will focus on the critical practical environmental issues in agriculture and landscape management in Ontario and Canada today.

The course will contribute to several of the University Learning Objectives, particularly sense of historical development, global understanding, moral maturity, understanding of fonns of inquiry, depth and breadth of understanding, and independence of thought. The issues will be presented in their historical context, providing evidence of how current challenges change over time. While the focus will be on Ontario, comparison to similar issues and policies in other counties around the world will be included. The challenge of dealing with current policy issues will assist students in dealing with moral maturity. The contrast between policy and science will help them understand different forms of inquiry. Clearly this course will provide both a broad understanding of the environmental issues in agriculture and landscape management, and some depth on each issue. Discussing the pros and cons of these issues and the associated policies will foster independence of thought.

Summary of material to be covered: \

Introduction:- relationships between science and policy in agriculture and landscape management (1 week)

Stewardship plans as an example of bringing science to practical application in a policy context (1 week)

The land use planning process, including provincial policies, with emphasis on policies related to agriculture, open space, and the rural landscape (1 week)

Agrogeology in an international context, other international issues (1.5 weeks)

Glacial geology and its impact on agricultural capability, its relationship to groundwater issues, and aggregate resources (1 -5 weeks)

Climate change and its influence on land stewardship - Kyoto, greenhouse gases, and carbon sequestration (2 weeks)

Water Resources, surface and groundwater - the Source Water Protection Act - water budgets and runoff patterns, soil water storage and recharge, groundwater flow and contamination, and influences on agroecosysterns and landscape management (2 weeks) _- -. Natural resources, including forests, wetlands, and wildlife - conservation agencies -- ' ' and their programs (1 week) iv. methods of presentation (e.g. lecture, seminar, case study, etc.) :.. :. This course will be taught using a combination of lectures, laboratory exercises, and group discussion. We plan to offer considerable flexibility in the content of assignments, to accommodate students with a range of backgrounds in the course.

vi. reason for course offering

The existing version of this course replaces half of the former course AGR*2301/02, Resources and Agroecosystems, and is a core course for students selecting 'Honours Agriculture', and in the Agro-ecosystems Major. The new proposed course will also be required for students in Urban Landscape Management and Turf Management. It may be of interest to other students in this degree and others. We expect an enrollment of 60 - 80 students.

DHRT*4XXX Advanced CAD (Computer Assisted Design) Graphics

Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to .. .

1) Create accurate and detailed landscape plans using DynaScape (or similar) CAD software, from rough field notes, dimensioned drawings, scanned imagedplans, etc., according to typical client requirements as provided, in a fast and efficient manner similar to the requirements of work scenarios 2) ModifL CAD drawings as required to illustrate changes from client requirements or contract modifications, such as 'as-built', additional features, reduced areas of planting or paving, plant lists, etc., and show these as comparable alternative drawings 3) Complete QuoteScapes/Iris (or similar) relational data base type estimates from the CAD drawings for cost management and comparison between comparable designs (applied to plant materials, and to soft and hard landscape areas) 4) Develop rendered plans and layouts in CAD suitable for client presentation (B&W and colour) 5) Demonstrate an understanding of how CAD based drawings can be hand rendered in either B&W or colour for presentation 6) Demonstrate a thorough understanding of the relationships between hand graphics and CAD drawings, including showing the ability to reproduce hand-drawn plans and sketches on CAD 7) Demonstrate an understanding of, and efficiency in, operations of CAD suitable to the small design office, where time is of the essence, and accuracy and completeness are essential 8) Demonstrate competency in the development of alternative scenarios such as varying design styles, different planting schemes, alternative materials, and grading options, using CAD as a design tool in place of hand graphics

This course will address the applications of CAD (computer:assisted design) software in real-life project scenarios, such as would be found in a small design office. Projects taken from or similar to those typically undertaken by garden centre design teams, small landscape architectural offices, or design-build operations, will be used. Skills in efficient use of computer software, specifically in designing, estimating, and rendering, will be learned, along with combinations of computer graphics and hand renderings. This course is a follow-up to DHRT*4100 CAD (Computer Assisted Design) offered in the third semester, an introduction to CAD software and operations. The development of practical and useful on-the-job-type skills at this stage is essential to career excellence in CAD. University learning objectives are included as follows:

University Learning Objectives addressed: Literacy - L; Numeracy - L; Historical - L; Global - L; , Moral Maturity - L; Aesthetic Maturity - H; design and graphics as a form of communication, with human use and aesthetics foremost in the design process Inquiry - M; alternative methods, aesthetic considerations, applied design principles DepthIBreadth of Understanding - M; expanded use of CAD, of hand graphics, and of design knowledge Independent Thought - H; designs are individual items not based on personal preferences but client needs

1 Love of Learning - H; hands-on aspects of design and graphics leads to enhanced capabilities which in turn leads to more involvement and interest

A series of design projects will be developed on the CAD system, taken from rough field notes, dimensioned drawings, scanned imageslplans, or other CAD drawings. Criteria for the designs will be from (pseudo) client wish lists and requirements. These may be real-life projects gleaned from industry contacts, or simulated projects developed to cover particular areas of instruction and learning, such as planting design and plant lists; hard surface treatments and alternatives; grading options; or different uses for the same space and subsequent design alterations or iterations. Students will learn how to diverge and save drawings part way through the design development to show alternatives and not require completely rebuilding a CAD file. ie: Trial course offerings

Dear Colleagues:

In readiness for the upcoming academic year, I would like to draw your attention to the page on the HREO website which lists the major holy days of obligation for a number of religions for 2005106. This resource is provided in order that events may be scheduled in a manner which is sensitive to the religious obligations of members of the university community. The URL is: http://www.uoguelph.ca/hre/hr/hrholydays.shtml.

As is noted on the site, the list includes the principal holy days and may not be all inclusive. These holy days may require that the practicing student, staff or faculty member: (a) fast; (b) abstain from work or study; or (c) participate in all-day or fixed time activities, such as congregational prayer. While all efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of these dates, for those religious groups who use a lunar calendar, the actual day of observance may vary by a day or so.

In the event that you have any questions regarding holy days of obligation, please do not hesitate to contact Fernande Allen at x53275 or at
