REGULATIONS FOR THE HONOURS DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS
A program is offered leading to the Honours Degree of Bachelor of Arts. An Honours degree requires, over and above the requirements of the General degree, a concentration at an advanced level in an approved field, consisting of a subject or subjects of specialization and/or related subjects, and a high quality of work throughout the program. An Honours degree is of distinct advantage to candidates who plan advanced work or careers in their chosen fields and also to those who have a clear commitment to some special field of study. An Honours degree with first or second class standing is, in many cases, a prerequisite for admission to a graduate program.
Students completing a degree program in the Faculty of Arts will normally follow the degree regulations in effect in the academic year in which they first entered Memorial University of Newfoundland. This is determined by the year of the student number. However, students may elect to follow subsequent regulations introduced during their tenure in the program.
1. Admission and Registration
a) Admission to Honours programs is competitive and limited, depending upon available resources. Candidates should consult the criteria established for the program in question. To be considered for admission to an Honours program, a candidate shall submit an "Application for Admission to the Honours Program" form to the Registrar. The application must be approved by the Head of the Department or Program Supervisor of the Subject of Specialization before the candidate can be admitted to the program.
NOTE: A candidate who wishes to enter an Honours program is strongly advised to consult the Head of the Department or Program Supervisor at the earliest possible date, as it may not be possible to complete the requirements for the degree in the normal time if the decision to embark on the program is delayed beyond the end of the second year.
b) Students who have been awarded the General Degree of Bachelor of Arts may convert it to an Honours Degree of Bachelor of Arts by applying to the department of specialization and the Registrar and, upon approval of such application by the Department, completing the requirements for the Honours degree as set forth in the regulations.

The diploma program is offered by the Department of Geography to students registered in a Bachelor program (General or Honours) at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The diploma program is also offered to students who have completed a Bachelor’s program at Memorial University of Newfoundland or another recognized university. The Diploma in Geographic Information Sciences is of interest to students from a broad range of backgrounds. It is a valuable complement to social and natural sciences programs such as anthropology, biology, computer sciences, earth sciences, history, economics, engineering, health and medicine, physical oceanography, environmental sciences and environmental studies. The fields of remote sensing, GIS and cartography provide the most effective methods of gathering, managing, analyzing and representing geographical information. Remote sensing data (aerial photographs and satellite images) provide a synoptic view of the cultural and physical landscapes. Examples of remote sensing applications include the monitoring of spatial changes, environmental quality evaluation, natural resources exploration, assessment and monitoring, and archaeological site assessment. Geographical information systems enables the compilation, organization and processing of spatial (maps) and non-spatial (text, statistics, graphs) data. Socio-economic, political and environmental management decision-making is supported by the results of GIS analyses and modelling. Cartography involves the compilation, organization and visual representation of spatial information. A variety of geographical information can effectively be communicated through cartography.ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The Diploma in Heritage Resources is offered to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts or other appropriate Bachelor's program and to students who have completed a Bachelor's degree at this or another university.
Building on the student's academic grounding in anthropology/archaeology, folklore, history, geography, and other relevant disciplines, the program offers training in object documentation, identification, conservation, and display. Required courses give students both an awareness of the broad range of heritage resources - including objects, sites, landscapes, documents - and specific skills to deal with public perceptions of objects and artifacts. The program also includes a course in tourism management. Elective courses enable students to pursue their particular disciplinary interests.
The Diploma in Heritage Resources helps prepare students to work in the expanding heritage sector in Newfoundland or elsewhere. Students with this diploma will be better able to compete for positions in museums and historic sites and for employment with heritage consultants, and to participate in contracts involving heritage policy and planning, all part of the increasing regional and global importance of cultural tourism. The diploma in Heritage Resources will also be an advantage to students wishing to study heritage or cultural resources management at the graduate level.
This diploma program draws on the expertise of the Archaeology Unit, the Centre for Material Culture Studies, and individual faculty members in various departments and faculties.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Admission to the Diploma in Heritage Resources program is limited and competitive. Students are advised to notify the Program Co-ordinator of their intention to apply for admission into this diploma program.

MAJOR IN ECONOMICS (CO-OPERATIVE), (B.A. OR B.SC.)
Economics Co-operative Education Option (ECEO)
This Economics Program is available to full-time Economics majors (B.A. and B.Sc.) only.
The ECEO provides an excellent mutual opportunity for students and employers. Qualified students will obtain rewarding employment experience in fields related to Economics for several months of continuous duration. Students will learn valuable practical skills in an employment situation during their course of study. Furthermore, paid employment will help to defray the cost of their education. The timing of the Work Terms and the structure of the ECEO generally are such that employers stand to gain from the acquired employable skills of economists in training. The objectives of the Work Term component of the ECEO are embodied in the Work Term descriptions below. The descriptions serve to guide the student and the employer toward achieving these objectives.
A) Admission Requirements
1. Admission is competitive and selective. Therefore, prospective students are encouraged to consider an alternate degree program in the event that they are not accepted into the Co-operative program.
2. Applicants should note that it is possible to enter Term 1 only in the Fall semester commencing in September of each academic year. Application forms are available in the Department of Economics. The deadline for applications for admission to Term 1 is March 1.
3. The primary criterion used in reaching decisions on applications for admission is overall academic achievement. Students with weak overall academic records are unlikely to be admitted.
4. To be eligible for admission to Term 1 an applicant must have successfully completed a minimum of 30 credit hours with an overall average of at least 65% as follows: All applicants must have completed Economics 2010 and 2020; at least 6 credit hours in English*; Mathematics 1000; and 15 credit hours chosen from courses in the Faculties of Arts** or Science. B.Sc. applicants must have completed Mathematics 1001.
*It is recommended that students complete English 1110. Critical Reading
and Writing II (Context, Substance,
Style) as one of these English courses.
**It is also advised that B.A. students choose courses which can satisfy the requirements for the Core Program (see Arts Degree Regulations for these requirements), including courses in a second language.
5. Students may apply for admission to Advanced Standing.
6. Transfer students from other universities will be placed in that term of the program judged to be appropriate considering equivalent credits, as determined by the Department.
B) Program of Study
1. Promotion from each of Terms 1 through 6 requires a passing grade in all specified required courses and an overall average of at least 60% in all courses including electives. A student who fails a required course or fails to maintain the overall average of 60% will not be promoted to the next term and will be required to withdraw from the program. The student in question may apply for readmission in a subsequent year after passing the specified required course(s) previously failed, or re-establishing the 60% average.
2. In addition to the 30 credit hours required for admission, students are required to complete the six academic terms in the ECEO program for a total of 120 credit hours. Students must complete three Work Terms which follow Academic Terms 2, 4 and 5.
3. Courses shall normally be taken in academic terms or“blocks” in the
sequenced course load and order as set out in the table Major in Economics
(Co-operative Option) B.A. Academic Course Program or in the
table Major in Economics
(Co-operative Option) B.Sc. Academic Course Program. Unspecified
credits may be used to fulfill elective requirements only.
4. UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS - GENERAL ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) Classification
of Students notwithstanding, students do
not require special permission to register for courses
while on work terms if the courses are in addition
to the prescribed program.
C) Work Term Placement
1. General management of the work terms in
the ECEO is the responsibility of the Co-operative
Education Services Centre (CESC). It is responsible
for assisting potential employers to become involved
in the program, organizing competitions for Work Term
employment, arranging student-employer interviews and facilities,
data base management, and for the continual development
of employment opportunities. The program co-ordinator
(hereafter referred to as co-ordinator) is an Academic
Staff member who will work with the department to counsel
students, visit students on their work assignments and evaluate
the work term.
2. Work placement is not guaranteed but every
effort is made to ensure that appropriate employment
is made available. In the case of students who are
required to withdraw from the program, the CESC has no
responsibility for placement until they have been re-admitted
to the program.
3. A student who applies for admission to
the co-op program gives permission to the University
to provide a copy of the applicant’s resume, university
transcript and work term evaluations to potential
employers.
4. A student who has been accepted to the ECEO
program may obtain his/her own work term placement
outside the competition. Such employment positions
must be confirmed by the employer, and must be approved
by the co-ordinator.
5. Students are expected to submit, within
a month from starting a Work Term, a plan of the
intended work that term.
6. Salaries paid to co-operative students are
determined by employers based on their internal
wage structures, and tend to increase as the student
progresses through the program and assumes more
responsibility. However, students should not expect the
income from work terms to make them completely self-supporting.
D) Registration and Evaluation of Performance
1. In Work Terms I, II, and III, students must
register for Economics 299W, 399W, and 499W respectively.
2. Student performance evaluations are to
be completed by the employer and returned to the
co-ordinator. The Work Term evaluations shall consist
of two components:
A) On-the-job Student Performance:
Job performance shall be assessed by the co-ordinator
in consultation with the department using information
gathered during the Work Term and input from the
employer towards the end of the Work Term. Formal written
documentation from the employer shall be sought.
B) The Work Report:
i) Students are required to submit a Work Term
report to the co-ordinator on the first day of
final exams.
ii) Work Term reports shall be evaluated by
a faculty member and the co-ordinator.
iii) If an employer designates a report to be
of a confidential nature, both employer and the
co-ordinator must agree as to the methods to protect
the confidentiality of such a report before the report
may be accepted for evaluation.
iv) Reports must contain original work related
to the Work Term placement. The topic must relate
to the work experience and will be chosen by the student
in consultation with the employer. The topic must be
approved by the co-ordinator or a faculty member
of the Department of Economics.
Assessment of performance will result in the
award of one of the following grades for the Work
Term:
a) Pass with Distinction: Indicates EXCELLENT
PERFORMANCE in both the work reports and the
work performance.
b) Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS
EXPECTATIONS in both the work reports and the work
performance.
c) Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE in
the work reports or the work performance.
For promotion from the Work Term, a student
must obtain at least a Pass.*
*a. Students should also refer to the UNIVERSITY
REGULATIONS - GENERAL ACADEMIC
REGULATIONS (UNDERGRADUATE) of
the University.
b. The grades awarded for each work term will
be noted on the transcript of the student.
3. If a student fails to achieve the Work Term
standards specified above the student will be
required to withdraw from the program. Such a student
may reapply to the program after a lapse of two semesters,
at which time the student will be required to repeat the
Work Term with satisfactory performance before being admitted
to any further academic term in the Faculty. A given work
term may be repeated only once, and not more than two work
terms may be repeated in the entire program.
4. In order to be considered for readmission,
students must formally apply for readmission
to the program not later than the deadline date specified
in Clause 2 of the Admission section A above.
5. A student who withdraws from a Work Term
without acceptable cause subsequent to a job placement
will be required to withdraw permanently from the
Co-operative education program. Students who drop a Work
Term without prior approval from both the co-ordinator
and the Head of the Department of Economics, or who fail
to honour an agreement to work with an employer, or
conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge
from the job will normally be awarded a failed grade
for the Work Term in question. Permission to drop a Work
Term does not constitute a waiver of degree requirements,
and students who have obtained such permission must complete
an approved Work Term in lieu of the one dropped.

WORK TERM DESCRIPTIONS
The following Work Terms are a requirement of the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Co-operative Education Option only.
299W. Work Term I. This Work Term follows the successful completion of Academic Term 2.
For most students, it represents their first work experience in a professional environment and as such represents their first opportunity to evaluate their choice of pursuing a career in Economics. Students are expected to learn, develop and practice the high standards of behaviour and performance normally expected in the work environment. (A detailed description of each job is normally posted during the job competition.).
As one component of the Work Term, the student is required to complete a work report. The work report, as a minimum requirement should
a) include a description of the project including the objectives, goals and duties of the student. It should also include a history of student's activities and accomplishments with the employer
b) analyze an issue/problem related to the student's work environment.
c) demonstrate an understanding of the structure of a professional report, and show reasonable competence in written communication and presentation skills. (Students should consult the evaluation form provided in the placement package.)
Late reports will not be graded unless prior permission for a late report has been given by the co-ordinator.
NOTE: Seminars on professional development, conducted by the CESC, are presented during Academic Term 2 to introduce and prepare the student for participation in the subsequent work terms.

GENERAL DEGREE
The study of Folklore deals with oral literature and traditional culture. Students study both the form and function of various kinds of Folklore. They also examine the influence of oral tradition upon written literatures.
A student benefits by coming to the study of Folklore with a strong concentration in one of the affiliated fields, such as English or other modern literature, Classics, Linguistics, Sociology and Anthropology, Geography, History, Psychology, or Religious Studies. (Certain specialized areas of Folklore call for training in Biology.)
A student interested in Folklore is advised to take several courses in Anthropology and at least an introductory course in language and dialect. Other courses should be complementary to the area of special interest. A student whose major interest is Newfoundland Folklore should have, for example, courses in Newfoundland Geography and Newfoundland History; and courses in the History and Geography of Ireland and England would be desirable. One interested primarily in Canadian Folklore would do well also to study the Geography, History and Literature of Canada. Such combinations of reinforcing courses in History, Geography, Literature, etc., can be varied according to the student's needs and goals.
Folklore 1000 (or 2000) is the prerequisite for all other courses in Folklore, except 1050, 1060 and those courses cross-listed with other Departments.
MAJOR IN FOLKLORE
A student registered to major in Folklore must take a minimum of 36 credit hours in courses as follows:

b) Folklore 4998
c) Folklore 4999
JOINT HONOURS DEGREE IN FOLKLORE AND ANOTHER MAJOR DISCIPLINE
See General Regulations for Honours Degree. A minimum of 84 credit hours in the two subjects selected, with the approval of the Heads of both Departments, is required.

For information about any of these inactive courses, please contact the Head of the Department.
1000. Introduction to Folklore. The role that tradition plays in communication, art and society will be discussed through an examination of folklore materials from Newfoundland and the English-speaking world. Readings and "listenings" will emphasize the use of folklore in context, e.g., the proverb in speech and the folksong in childrearing. Students will be urged to analyze the traditions in their own lives through special assignments. A student may not receive credit for both Folklore 1000 and 2000.
1050. Folklore Studies. An examination of specific folklore
studies illustrating important
themes and approaches in folkloristics.
These will include antiquarian, nationalistic, diffusionist,
historic-contextual, functional, structural,
and performance analyses as typified in selected
readings from the works of leading folklorists.
NOTE: There is no prerequisite for this
course. However, students should note that they
will need to take Folklore 1000 (or 2000) before
they can advance to other courses.
1060. Folklore and Culture. An introduction to traditional
expressive behaviour as cultural
experience. Readings and lectures will
explore the various meanings of "culture" from interdisciplinary
perspectives and link the development of theoretical
approaches to culture (evolutionary, materialist,
particularist, psychological, semiotic, dramaturgic) to
specific folkloric phenomena. Illustrations will derive
primarily from children's folklore, material culture,
and occupational folklife.
NOTE: There is no prerequisite for this
course. However, students should note that they
will need to take Folklore 1000 (or 2000) before
they can advance to other courses.
2100. Folklore Research Methods - An Introduction. This
course is designed to provide the
basic introduction to the research resources,
tools and methods regularly employed in the area
of Folklore. On the one hand, the course will examine
what types of Library and Archive resources can be
useful to the folklorist and, on the other hand, it will
explore how folklorists in fieldwork situations should
handle people, and how they can capture for posterity a record
of the interviews that they have conducted and the events
that they have observed. This course qualifies as a Research/Writing
course.

and minors take this course before taking 3000
and 4000 level courses.

The general approach of this course is ethnographic, focusing on the ethnography of belief systems.
3618. Jazz and Blues: The Roots of Popular Music (Same as Music 3018). An overview of blues and jazz as traditional musical forms. Lectures and listening will illustrate the development of regional music cultures and generic styles. To better understand the shift of blues and jazz from regional to global performance contexts, the course will examine the effects of changing transmissional media, from predominantly sensory media through contemporary media technologies. A term paper concerning musical style will entail library research and aural analysis.
3700. Museums and Historic Sites. (Same as Anthropology 3710). An introduction to museums and historic sites, their work, and their role in societies past and present.

to the study of the forms of British,
European, and North American folk custom.
Issues for discussion will include the diffusion, functions,
maintenance and invention of calendar, seasonal, occupational,
and life-cycle customs. As such, we will review
much of the new scholarship which has shifted folkloristic
attention from origins of customs to the analysis
of custom as symbolic behaviour. Current work on the study
of custom has examined, for example, the legitimation
of class interests via traditional customs, the play of metaphor
in festivals, and the symbolic statement of social obligations
through life-cycle ritual.
NOTE: Credit may not be obtained for both
Folklore 3820 and the former Folklore 3600.
3830. Foodways. The term foodways embraces a variety of traditions which focus on dietary practices as well as the preparation and allocation of food. As an introduction to foodways, the course will begin by looking at a variety of regional foods. In addition, both historical and contemporary approaches to the supply, storage, preparation and serving of food will be considered.

While furniture will be emphasized, other objects of domestic material culture may be included: glass, ceramics, metalware and textiles.
3910. Occupational Folklife. Readings, lectures, and
directed fieldwork aimed at identifying, documenting, and analyzing the role
of tradition in contemporary occupational groups and work settings. Interdisciplinary
theoretical perspectives on the nature of work and the characteristics of
traditional, industrial and service occupations will be examined. Major topics
of study will include work techniques, the uses of verbal and non-verbal
codes, alienation, defensive behaviour, and labourlore.
3930. Folklore and Popular Culture. An examination of
the transitional processes involved
in the development of folk societies to
mass cultures with regard to folklore and the products
of popular culture. In addition, sensory and technological
media theories will be scrutinized and evaluated
in conjunction with cultural comparisons of the qualities
and functions of: folksong, disc recordings and the

one of the natural parts of ourselves,
nor is remembering a way of connecting with
a single reference point in a social reality outside
ourselves. These things are socially determined. Starting
here, this course is designed to have students reflect
on what they know about the past and how they know about
it. The class will examine how individual and social memory
works, concentrating on particular historical contexts.

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS IN FRENCH LANGUAGE
The Department of French and Spanish offers to students the opportunity to sit a Special Examination of Linguistic Competence in French and a Special Examination of Linguistic Excellence in French. These written and oral examinations, held each year during the Winter semester, are intended to permit public recognition of superior proficiency in the French language by means of an entry on students' academic records. Any student registered in a Memorial University of Newfoundland degree program may sit the annual examinations, but successful results will become final only on graduation from a degree program. The standard of attainment required to pass the Special Examination of Linguistic Competence in French will be approximately equivalent to that of a high 'B' in French 4100 or 4101; that for the Special Examination of Linguistic Excellence in French is equivalent to high standing at a more advanced level.
SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATIONS
Students registered for French 1500, 1501, and 1502 whose overall final mark is less than 50% but no lower than 45F may write a supplementary examination subject to the following regulations:
1. Students will be admissible to the supplementary examination only if the average of all other components of the final mark is at least 50%.
2. The supplementary examination will normally be identical to the deferred examination, if any, administered in the same course for that semester and will in any case be written at the time of administration of deferred examinations and will be similar in content and level of difficulty to the final examination originally written.
3. Students who are eligible to sit the supplementary examination must apply to the department within one week following the release of final grades by the Office of the Registrar.
4. Students who pass the supplementary examination will receive a new final grade calculated according to the same method and weighting as the original, but with the mark on the supplementary examination replacing that given for the original written final examination. This new final grade, if higher than the original, will replace the original grade on the student's transcript, subject to the condition that the final mark will not exceed the student's pro-rated term mark. The student's transcript will indicate that the course result was earned as the result of a supplementary examination.
5. A student may write a supplementary examination for any one registration in a course only once; if the course result following the supplementary examination is a fail then the course must be repeated in order to obtain credit.
6. Students taking these courses through the College of the North Atlantic who successfully pass a supplementary examination will receive Memorial University of Newfoundland credit for the course.
The Frecker Program is a one-semester immersion program offered by Memorial University of Newfoundland in St-Pierre. Students who successfully complete this program will receive 15 credit hours in French as specified in Note 3 below.

2300, 2900, and 2601 or 2602.
CANADIAN THIRD YEAR IN NICE PROGRAM
Memorial University of Newfoundland is a member
of a consortium of Canadian universities which

the program. This person teaches two of the five courses which
students complete each semester in Nice, the other three being
chosen from the offerings of the Université de Nice.
Specific Memorial University of Newfoundland credits are
awarded for successful completion of the courses taught by
the Canadian coordinator and a block of unspecified transfer credits
are awarded for the courses offered by the Université
de Nice.
All courses completed under this program will be
offered outside the normal time frame for courses
offered at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Fall
Semester courses will be completed between October and
January each year, Winter Semester courses between February

regarding course selection.
In accordance with Senate's Policy Regarding Inactive Courses, the course descriptions for courses which have not been offered in the previous three academic years and which are not scheduled to be offered in the current academic year have been removed from the following listing. For information about any of these inactive courses, please contact the Head of the Department.
NOTES: 1) The Department of French and Spanish offers three consecutive credit courses in French language at the first-year university level, offering a complete overview of basic oral and written French. New students may choose to register initially in French 1500 or 1501; a diagnostic test is offered to assist students with initial course selection or to confirm that initial course selection is appropriate. Students with a limited background in French should register for French 1500 and continue with 1501. Students with a strong background in high-school French should bypass 1500 and begin their university study with 1501, especially if they intend to proceed beyond the first-year level. Very well-prepared students may apply to the Department for permission to enter 1502 directly. Bypassing one or more of these courses may enable students to include a larger number of advanced electives in their degree program. French 1500, 1501 and 1502 require three hours of instruction per week and two additional hours of language laboratory work or conversation class, or both.
2) Students may not register concurrently for more than one of French 1500, 1501 and 1502 except with the permission of the Head of the Department.

4) Students who have successfully completed one or more credit courses in French language will not subsequently be permitted to receive credit for courses not previously completed and judged by the Department to be of a lower level than those already completed. Students returning to the study of French after an absence should consult the Department for current information on these restrictions before registering. Students who wish to return to a previously completed course to improve their standing may do so only with the permission of the Head of the Department.
5) Students wishing to enrol in courses at the 4000-level must have completed at least French 3100 or 3101 and such additional prerequisites as may be specified (see individual calendar entries for details).
