Download REVISED MOTION FOR MATH 1070 AND MATH 2076

Motion # :
________________________, seconded by ________________________ that ARCC
recommend to the Arts and Science Executive that the contact hours for MATH 2076
Probability & Statistics I be changed from “three hours of lecture and one hour of tutorial per
week for one term” to “four hours of lecture and tutorial per week.”
Rationale:
The present contact hours language implies that the course is scheduled with two 80 minute
lectures plus one 50 minute tutorial session per week. With the proposed change, the course will
be scheduled with two 110 minute lecture sessions per week. This change will simplify
scheduling, and will allow the instructor(s) greater flexibility in structuring the course material
and incorporating in-class examples and practice problems, so as to maximize the learning
benefits and outcomes for the students. The same contact hour format is already being used in
other lower level math courses.
