The Cegep Structure<br />
THE COLLEGE SYSTEM IN QUEBEC<br />
In the English language sector of Québec's educational system, students formerly went directly from high school (after<br />
completion of Grade XI) to university. In 1967, the Québec government passed the General and Vocational <strong>College</strong>s Act,<br />
providing for a new level of education following high school, the collegial level. Each college is an independent public<br />
corporation, separate from both high schools and universities. These Community <strong>College</strong>s of General and Vocational<br />
Education, commonly called CEGEP after the initials of the French name, “Collège d'enseignement général et<br />
professionnel”, are distinctive institutions in Québec. They offer two-year general programs, leading to university studies,<br />
and three-year technological programs, serving a wide variety of interests. Tuition-free for Québec residents, the junior<br />
colleges are open to all students who have completed high school.<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> Foundation<br />
Each semester during registration, students pay an optional $15 fee to the <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> Foundation.<br />
The Foundation has also received generous donations from various sponsors such as the Fédération des Caisses Desjardins,<br />
rive-sud and engages in a number of fund-raising events including the Annual Golf Tournament.<br />
Your fees help fund various student-centered projects, such as student awards and scholarships, emergency loans for books<br />
and food, learning resources, extracurricular activities, the renovation of the library and the construction of the new<br />
Nursing labs.<br />
For more information, or to make a donation, please contact Mr. Vince Amato, at 450-672-7360, ext. 359.

semester ($5.85 per course hour for part time students).<br />
Please note that fees are subject to change without notice.<br />
Students who were not born in Québec, and who are not<br />
deemed residents of Québec, will be required to submit<br />
proof of residency to the Admissions Office. The<br />
Admissions Officer will verify the status of all applicants<br />
who applied without a Québec birth certificate. In cases<br />
where proper documentation is missing, the candidates<br />
may be asked to provide additional documentation.<br />
Students from the U.S.A.<br />

program followed in the U.S.A.<br />
Applicants to Science programs which have additional<br />
prerequisite requirements in Mathematics, Physics and<br />
Chemistry must submit detailed course descriptions for<br />
courses followed in Grade 11 or 12.<br />
For more information, please refer to our website at<br />
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.
International Students<br />
Applicants from outside Canada and the United States are<br />
normally required to possess a high school diploma from<br />
their country in a pre-university secondary school program.<br />
Applicants without a high school diploma but with at least<br />
11 years of education in a pre-university secondary school<br />
program may apply and will be considered on a case by<br />
case basis. Applicants may wish to obtain an “Opinion of<br />
Equivalence” (Avis d’équivalence) from the Québec<br />
Ministry of Immigration and Cultural Communities, which<br />
will be given serious consideration by the <strong>College</strong> for<br />
admissions purposes. The ministry’s web address is<br />
www.micc.gouv.qc.ca.<br />
Québec law requires International Students to pay<br />
additional fees of $9,898 per academic year ($4,949 per<br />
semester). The fee for part-time students is $24.06 per<br />
course hour. Please note that these fees are subject to<br />
change without notice.<br />
International students must also provide the following<br />
documentation before arriving in Canada:<br />
A "Certificat d’acceptation du Québec" (C.A.Q.), which<br />
must be obtained from the «Ministère des<br />
communautés culturelles et de l’immigration» of the<br />
Province of Québec;<br />
A "Student Authorization" from the Federal<br />
Government of Canada;<br />
International students should begin the process of<br />
obtaining these documents once they have received their<br />
acceptance letter from <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong>.<br />
International students must provide proof of enrolment in<br />
a comprehensive health and accident insurance plan that is<br />
approved by the college. Students may obtain such an<br />
insurance plan at a cost of approximately $575.00 per year<br />
through the auspices of the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Language Requirement<br />
International Students and Permanent Residents whose<br />
mother tongue is not English and/or who have not studied<br />
in English during the last two years are required to submit<br />
official TOEFL results (Test of English as a Foreign<br />
Language). Applicants may present the results of other<br />
tests or examinations providing evidence of college-level<br />
abilities in English. Upon examination of this evidence by<br />
the <strong>College</strong>, applicants may be exempted from the TOEFL<br />
requirement.<br />
All diploma programs offered by English colleges in Québec<br />
require students to successfully pass two college-level<br />
courses in “French as a Second Language”. In order to<br />
ensure that admitted students will be able to pass these<br />
courses, <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> requires applicants who<br />
have studied outside Québec to demonstrate completion<br />
of approximately 180 hours of French instruction.<br />
Advanced Standing Applicants<br />
Students applying from other Québec CEGEPs, private<br />
colleges, and other government approved college level<br />
institutions must submit a student copy of their bulletin<br />
when applying. Upon admission, their official marks will be<br />
obtained directly from the Ministry of Education and will be<br />
integrated into their <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong><br />
bulletin.<br />
Equivalences<br />
Equivalences for courses taken at post-secondary<br />
institutions other than Quebec CEGEPs, private colleges or<br />
other government approved college level institutions are<br />
considered on a course-by-course basis by the Academic<br />
Advisors in consultation with the appropriate Department<br />
Coordinator. Credit will not automatically be given for years<br />
or full semesters of study. <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong><br />
does not normally grant equivalent credit for courses<br />
followed at the university level.<br />
No request for equivalent credit will be considered until the<br />
following documentation has been submitted:<br />
a) A detailed description of the course content.<br />
b) An official transcript.
Application Procedure<br />
Applications are available online through the college<br />
website at the following at www.champlaincollege.qc.ca or<br />

applying for full-time studies are as follows: March 1 st for<br />
the fall semester and November 1 st for the winter<br />

Student Fee<br />
Once accepted by the <strong>College</strong>, all applicants pay a Student<br />
Fee of $170.00 per semester (includes an optional $15 fee<br />
for the <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation). Students who have<br />
registered and decide not to attend the <strong>College</strong> may<br />
receive a refund if it is requested in writing before the first<br />
day of classes. The registration fee component of $20.00 is<br />
non-refundable once the applicant has registered for<br />
courses. See "Fee" section of this <strong>Calendar</strong>.<br />
NOTE: The Student Fee is subject to change without notice.<br />
Registration<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Lambert</strong> uses an online<br />
registration process. Information regarding Online<br />
Registration will be available online and on individual<br />
student web accounts.<br />
Registration for your courses will be made easier if you<br />
follow these guidelines:<br />
Students should not select course schedules that conflict<br />
with personal commitments (this includes job related<br />
conflicts). They must organize themselves and their<br />
schedules accordingly. Students are required to be<br />
present in class at all times.<br />
FAILURE TO ATTEND A COURSE REGULARLY MAY RESULT<br />
IN A RETROACTIVE CHANGE FROM FULL-TIME STATUS TO<br />
PART-TIME STATUS.<br />
In order to be considered a full-time student, the<br />
minimum number of courses that a student must register<br />
for and attend is four (or 12 hours of classes per week).<br />
Part-time students are required to pay fees at the rate of<br />
$2.00 per course hour. Permission to register as a parttime<br />
student must be obtained from the Registrar.<br />
For special circumstances, please go to the Registrar's<br />
Office (Room F-103) or telephone 450-672-7360 ext. 320<br />
a.s.a.p.<br />
At any time before, during and after registration, the<br />
college reserves the right to change the time or the<br />
teacher assigned to a course as well as the courses<br />
assigned to students, for reasons such as over or under<br />
enrolled courses or for other serious reasons.<br />
For your individual program, please review the appropriate<br />
section of this <strong>Calendar</strong> to familiarize yourself with your<br />
program courses

EVALUATION OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT (IPESA)<br />

For information regarding BYLAW NUMBER 8 CONCERNING STUDENT SUCCESS, please refer to www.champlainonline.com<br />
under By-Laws.<br />
A. <strong>Course</strong> Loads<br />
OTHER ACADEMIC REGULATIONS & INFORMATION<br />
In order to complete their program within the prescribed<br />
period of time, students are expected to carry and attend a<br />
full course load (See “Programs” section of this calendar).<br />
In order to be considered a full-time student, the minimum<br />
number of courses that a student must register for and<br />
attend is four (or 12 hours of classes per week). Failure to<br />
attend a course regularly may result in a retroactive change<br />
from full-time status to part-time status. Part-time students<br />
are required to pay fees at the rate of $2.00 per course hour.<br />
Permission to register as a part-time student must be<br />
obtained from the Director of Academic Resources/Registrar.<br />
C. Program Changes<br />
A student may request a change of program for the<br />
following semester. The deadlines for program changes will<br />
be posted on the college website. These deadlines may be<br />
extended if there is sufficient space in a program. Students<br />
are not automatically accepted into a new program.<br />
Decisions are based on several criteria such as high school<br />
grades, prerequisite course grades and satisfactory<br />
performance in the student’s current program. A change of<br />
program does not automatically protect a student from the<br />
consequences of a failed semester, which could include<br />
being asked to leave the college.<br />
Application to take an additional course in excess of the<br />
regular course load for a program must be made at<br />
registration to the Registrar. In general, students would be<br />
eligible to take an extra course following a semester in which<br />
they have successfully completed a full course load<br />
appropriate for their program with a minimum 75% overall<br />
average.<br />
B. <strong>Course</strong> Adjustments<br />
Students should take great care in selecting their courses<br />
during registration, as preference course change is not<br />
permitted. That is, courses may not be changed for<br />
personal reasons such as part-time jobs, teacher preference<br />
or time preference. Certain course adjustments will be<br />
authorized up to and including the 5 th day of classes in a<br />

for students who require summer courses in order to<br />
complete requirements for their program. Students may<br />
also take Summer School in order to reduce their course<br />
load for the following semester, but they should consult an<br />
Academic Advisor to determine if there are any<br />
consequences. For instance, a reduced course load may<br />
make a student ineligible for the Dean’s List or Honour Roll<br />
in a future semester.<br />

Summer School are usually exempt from tuition fees,<br />
although a small registration fee will apply. Non-graduating<br />
students who take summer courses will be required to pay<br />
tuition fees in the amount of $2.00 per course hour.<br />

another Cegep only if their requirements cannot be met at<br />

other colleges. Students should consult with an Academic<br />
Advisor for more information.<br />

School requirements. Academic Advisors can advise a<br />
student about the possibilities for alternative courses in<br />
Summer School that will replace, or substitute for, failed or<br />
dropped courses.<br />
Summer School at <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> usually<br />
begins during the first week of June, often on the first<br />
Monday. The length of the Summer School session varies,<br />

registration dates and courses offered is usually available at<br />
the end of March. Students may contact the registrar’s<br />

International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (200.10)<br />
The IB Diploma program is designed for students who are<br />
interested in a well-rounded, enriched and challenging<br />
college education. It provides students with a broad and<br />
comprehensive education in Languages and Literature,<br />
Mathematics, Experimental Sciences, Social Sciences and<br />
the Humanities. The IB diploma, recognized by all Quebec<br />
universities as well as universities in Canada, the U.S. and<br />
countries around the world, is an excellent preparation for<br />
students intending to pursue university studies in Law,<br />
International Relations, Literature, Engineering, Physical<br />
Sciences, Biological Sciences, Mathematics, Medicine, Social<br />
Sciences and Commerce either at home or abroad. In May<br />
of their final semester in the program IB students write a<br />
total of six (6) IB examinations - three (3) at the Higher level<br />
and three (3) at the Standard level. The subjects and level<br />
of examinations students will write is determined by the<br />
specific IB Diploma program option for which they register.<br />
Cote de rendement (cote R)<br />
Québec universities admit students on the basis of the<br />
“cote de rendement collégiale”, otherwise known as the<br />
cote R. For students in the IB program Quebec universities<br />
assign a bonus to all IB students upon successful<br />
completion of the IB program. McGill University and many<br />
others actively recruit IB graduates.<br />
Admission Requirements<br />
All applicants to the IB diploma program should have a<br />
Québec Diploma of Secondary Studies or its equivalent with<br />
a good grounding in both English and French. Students<br />
applying to the IB Sciences option should have completed<br />
Mathematics TS 5 or SN 5, Secondary 5 Physics and<br />
Secondary 5 Chemistry. Due to limited space in the<br />
program, and based on the overall average of previous<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> IB students, it is suggested that students<br />
applying to the IB program have an 80% average as well<br />
as a minimum of 80% in Chemistry, Physics and<br />
Mathematics. Even if candidates to programs meet the<br />
requirements of the Règlement sur le régime des études<br />
collégiales, they may be refused due to lack of spaces.<br />
For more information, please refer to our website at<br />
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.<br />
Second Language Curriculum<br />
All IB students are required to follow a second language<br />
curriculum. The two language options at <strong>Champlain</strong> are<br />
French and Spanish. In most cases, students will be<br />
required to take French as a second language. However,<br />
students with a sufficiently high level of ability in French as<br />
a mother tongue, will be offered the possibility of taking<br />
beginners Spanish instead of French. Please note that the<br />
Spanish option is not available to students who have taken<br />
Spanish in high school.<br />
Fees<br />
Students pay IB examination fees and administrative fees of<br />
$400 per term ($800 per year) as well as the Student Fee<br />
(see fee section of this calendar). Financial assistance is<br />
available through the Quebec Loans and Bursaries Program.<br />
Application forms are available at the <strong>College</strong>.

IB Pure & Applied Science students may add 201-BLD Calculus III if they<br />
have not taken 101-BLB Biology II.<br />
While Calculus III may be beneficial to further prepare for university studies,<br />
the course is not required for the completion of the program and is thus<br />
considered by the Ministry of Education as an “hors-programme” course. It<br />
is not required by universities for admission into science programs. The<br />
<strong>College</strong>’s priority is to build a course load that meets the official<br />
requirements of the IB Science program; since Calculus III is not a required<br />
course, any IB Science student wishing to take the course, space permitting,<br />
must pay an additional $6.00 per course hour.<br />
Please feel free to contact an Academic Advisor on this matter or any other<br />
questions related to admission requirements in university.

manner with other members of a group or team<br />
Be aware of ethical issues in general and more<br />
particularly those related to science and technology<br />
Integrative Activity<br />
One of the requirements of the Science program involves a<br />
concept known as integration: students are required to<br />
apply what they have learned in one discipline to solving a<br />
problem in another discipline in science and mathematics.<br />
In order to attain this competency, each student is required<br />
to successfully complete Biology 101-NYA, Chemistry 202-<br />
NYB, Physics 203-NYB and Mathematics 201-NYB which<br />
contain the IA. Each of the Biology, Chemistry, Physics and<br />
the Mathematics departments are responsible for<br />
implementing an IA in the previously listed courses.<br />
Comprehensive Assessment<br />
Prior to graduating from the Science program, Science<br />
students must show that they have met the attributes<br />
contained in the Graduate Profile. Each Science department<br />
and the Mathematics department offers final year courses<br />
designed to assess all the attributes of the Graduate Profile<br />
by assessing several of the abilities listed therein.<br />
In order to demonstrate that they have met the attributes<br />
contained in the Graduate Profile, students must complete<br />
Physics 203-NYB and 3 courses selected from:<br />
101-BLB General Biology II<br />

provide a progression of courses (Level I “Introductory”<br />
courses followed by Level II “in-depth” courses) that help<br />
students to understand the social sciences as an integrated<br />
body of knowledge.<br />
By acquiring the basic concepts that are fundamental to<br />
a full understanding of the social sciences, students are<br />
prepared to undertake a wide range of university<br />
programs.<br />
The Social Science program provides students with the tools<br />
to address the challenges in life and to achieve a better<br />
understanding of the cultures and environment of the world<br />
in which we live.<br />
Upon completion of the Social Science program, students<br />
can pursue their university studies in the following fields:<br />
Administration<br />
Anthropology<br />
Civil Service<br />
Computer Science<br />
Commerce<br />
Communications<br />

Graduate Profile<br />
The graduate exit profile indicates what students are<br />
expected to achieve by the time the program is<br />
completed. It outlines three main areas of expertise:<br />
knowledge, thinking and learning in the social sciences.<br />
At <strong>Champlain</strong> these major areas and their related<br />
abilities are as follows:<br />
Knowledge of disciplinary content means that students<br />
• identify the main disciplinary-specific and<br />
transdisciplinary facts, notions, terms, principles,<br />
concepts and questions and apply this knowledge<br />
appropriately<br />
• explain the major disciplinary-specific and<br />
transdisciplinary theories, laws, models, approaches and<br />
schools of thought in relation to their authors and<br />
concrete situations<br />
Knowledge of social science methods means that<br />
students<br />
• use empirical evidence to support their conclusions<br />
• apply their knowledge of the scientific approach to<br />
empirical data<br />
• demonstrate a knowledge and application of<br />
qualitative and quantitative research methods<br />
Thinking like a social scientist means<br />
• demonstrating qualities associated with a scientific<br />
mind and critical thinking<br />
• recognizing the utility as well as the limitations of<br />
theory<br />
• selecting appropriate theoretical frameworks to explain<br />
social issues<br />
• situating various issues related to informed,<br />
responsible participation in a world-wide context<br />
• understanding ethical issues across the disciplines<br />
• drawing connections between different disciplines<br />
• drawing connections between knowledge in social<br />
science courses and everyday life that ultimately lead<br />
to an understanding of people, groups and cultures<br />
• integrating learning acquired throughout the program<br />
by identifying key concepts, theories and methods<br />
from diverse disciplines and using these to analyze<br />
social issues
Successful students in the social sciences<br />
• use learning strategies that allow them to reach their<br />
short and long-term goals and serve as a solid<br />
foundation for future studies<br />
• recognize main thesis and/or author’s purpose,<br />
supporting details and the relationships among ideas<br />
in different texts<br />
• communicate ideas clearly in written format<br />
• communicate ideas orally in a clear and coherent<br />
fashion<br />
• work effectively as a member of a group<br />
• integrate their learning throughout the program<br />
• use appropriate self-assessment techniques to reflect<br />
on their own learning<br />
• read and understand basic social science documents<br />
written in French<br />
• use appropriate information-processing technologies<br />
• demonstrate awareness of the need to develop<br />
lifestyle habits conducive to good physical, emotional<br />
and intellectual health<br />
Comprehensive Assessment<br />
According to the Exit Profile for the Social Science<br />
program, successful students graduate with an<br />
understanding of human phenomena from a social<br />
scientific perspective. They acquire a thorough<br />
knowledge of disciplinary content and research methods<br />
in the social sciences and extend their ability to think,<br />
communicate and learn effectively. The elements of the<br />
Exit Profile are practiced throughout the various social<br />
science courses and especially in the final course, the<br />
Integration Seminar in the Social Sciences (see above).<br />
The successful Integrated Interdisciplinary Paper that<br />
students write in this course signals that the student has<br />
met the criteria for the program’s Comprehensive<br />
Assessment.<br />
Integrative Activity<br />
Social Science students must demonstrate that they have<br />
integrated knowledge from their Social Science courses.<br />
Although the integration of concepts, theories and<br />
research methods occurs throughout the program it is the<br />
main focus of the Integration Seminar in the Social<br />
Sciences (ISSS) course offered the graduating semester. In<br />
this course, students evaluate their learning approach and<br />
review key concepts, theories and issues they have dealt<br />
with in their Social Science courses. The focal point of the<br />
course is the Integrated Interdisciplinary Paper in which<br />
students examine a social issue from the perspective of at<br />
least two social sciences disciplines and one theoretical<br />
framework. Students present their major findings orally<br />
and critically assess their final paper. This integrative<br />
activity prepares the students for university studies and<br />
meets the requirement of the Comprehensive<br />
Assessment.

201-BLF instead of Calculus II will not normally take 360-<br />
101 Quantitative Methods. However, they must add<br />
another Level II course to their program of studies.<br />
Students who decide to take Statistics 201-BLF after they<br />
have already taken 360-101 Quantitative Methods will be<br />
authorized to substitute Quantitative Methods as one of<br />
their compulsory Complementary courses. In addition,<br />
students must take one additional Level II course.

General Program Goal<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> seeks to provide a high<br />
quality of education for its students and to ensure that<br />
graduates have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to<br />
function effectively in their personal and professional lives.<br />
<strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong> places an emphasis on<br />
providing education that allows the student to acquire and<br />
integrate the general knowledge, intellectual skills, attitudes,<br />
and experiences needed by an individual to achieve a level of<br />
competency appropriate to a two-year CEGEP pre-university<br />
graduate, preparing for advanced studies at a university, while<br />
functioning more fully as a person and as a member of society.<br />
As such, through knowledge and experience, students will<br />
develop their abilities to work as members of groups and work<br />
with people who are different from themselves. Students will<br />
take specific courses in English, French and Humanities that<br />
will be relevant to their field of study.<br />
In designing the Creative Arts, Literature and Languages<br />
program at <strong>Champlain</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Saint</strong>-<strong>Lambert</strong>, every effort was<br />
made to create options that would best prepare the graduate<br />
for studies at the university level. Decisions on option<br />
configurations were based on the academic needs of our<br />

The Creative Arts option provides an introduction to art,<br />
culture and many forms of media. We emphasize a handson<br />
approach to learning and creating. Our goal is to develop<br />
creative, technically skilled, visually literate students who<br />
have an opportunity to explore their emerging areas of<br />
interest. Our courses are designed to give students<br />
experience in writing, producing and critiquing their own<br />
work.<br />
In a common first semester, all students are introduced to a<br />
variety of traditional and new media in three introductory<br />
production courses. You will then choose one of three profiles<br />
to specialize in over the next three semesters:<br />
• Digital Imaging and Studio Arts<br />
• Film/Video/Communications<br />
• Photography/Design<br />
You will choose the profile that best suits your university<br />
and/or career aspirations. We have arranged your courses<br />
into profiles so you are absolutely guaranteed to get the<br />
courses you choose. Of course, choosing one profile doesn’t<br />
mean that you have no interest in the others. Therefore,<br />
the program has been designed to permit students to take<br />
option courses from the other profiles in your third and<br />
fourth semesters. These option courses and the three<br />
introductory courses combined with the area of<br />
specialization give you a well-rounded background suitable<br />
for admission to many university programs in addition to<br />
those programs directly related to Creative Arts and<br />
Communications.
Portfolio<br />
Your final semester includes a course that is specially<br />
designed to help you prepare a portfolio of your work. You<br />
will also be given help in writing your resume and a letter of<br />
intent in time for you to submit applications to universities<br />
and/or industry.<br />
Modern Languages Option<br />
The Modern Languages option is designed to give students a<br />
thorough study of French, Spanish, and Italian. Students are<br />
introduced to the culture and civilization of the languages<br />
that they study as they master grammar, critical reading and<br />
writing. The languages in this option were selected to<br />
provide students a proper preparation for advanced studies<br />
in domestic and international business, journalism,<br />
government, historical and medical research, architecture,<br />
teaching, interpretation and translation.<br />
The Modern Languages option emphasizes critical awareness<br />
of cultural variations and issues in world civilizations and global<br />
regions. Students are introduced to cultural and literary<br />
analysis and research using primary texts, secondary literature,<br />
and computerized data resources. Italian was chosen because<br />
for many centuries, it has been the language of culture, and in<br />
recent times Italy has become one of the world's leading<br />
industrial and economic powers. Spanish was chosen because<br />
it is the second most popular language of business after<br />
English and because of the economic and cultural<br />
development between Canada and the United States. French<br />
was chosen to ensure that our students leave the college with<br />
a mastery of both of Canada’s official languages.
Creative Arts Profiles and Graduate Profile<br />
Creative Arts Option<br />
Profiles<br />
There are three distinct profiles which share a common first<br />
semester. As of the second semester, students specialize in<br />
a profile of their choosing. In the third and fourth<br />
semesters, students in each profile are permitted to take an<br />
optional course in profiles other than their own, thereby<br />
giving each student a well-rounded exposure to various<br />
media used for expression.<br />
1. Digital Imaging/Studio Arts allows students to create<br />
works with traditional art-making techniques such as<br />
drawing, painting and sculpture, and with digital imaging<br />
in both 2D and 3D applications. They will learn how the<br />
computer can be an artist's tool, how the screen is a kind<br />
of canvas, and how sculpture can be designed in both real<br />
and virtual space. Students practise traditional art-making<br />
techniques concurrently with the newer digital methods.<br />
2. Film/Video/Communications is designed to educate<br />
students about film and video from a variety of<br />
perspectives - aesthetic, historical, technical, and<br />
theoretical. The profile has a “hands-on” approach, and<br />
working individually and in teams, students create<br />
original productions in a variety of styles and<br />
situations, including fiction, documentary, and<br />
animation.<br />
3. Photo/Design teaches students about photography and<br />
design in contemporary media, through a variety of both<br />
practical and theoretical study. Integrating digital and<br />
traditional media, students will learn to express their own<br />
ideas in practical courses merging technical aspects of<br />
photography and design, and the visual language<br />
associated with modern communications.<br />

Liberal Arts Program (700.B0)<br />
Entrance Requirement<br />
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma<br />
of <strong>College</strong> Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a<br />
Secondary School Diploma including CST 4 Math or have<br />
completed a level of education that is deemed equivalent<br />
by the <strong>College</strong>. Additional admissions requirements can be<br />
found in the admission section of this calendar.<br />
For more information, please refer to our website at<br />
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.<br />
Program Overview<br />
The Liberal Arts program offers students the opportunity to<br />
learn about major aspects of Western Civilization in an<br />
integrated manner. Students follow courses in literature,<br />
philosophy, the humanities, religion, and history as well as<br />
the history of art and science. Students have the<br />
opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons by<br />
choosing additional courses (see Option courses below). In<br />
the structured approach, students focus on one specific era<br />
in each semester, and are introduced to the literature, the<br />
history and the philosophical currents of this defined<br />
period in each of the compulsory disciplines, thus<br />
benefiting from a cross-fertilization of ideas. Graduates are<br />
well-rounded individuals with a broad understanding of the<br />
dominant ideas of Western Civilization, a sense of the<br />
humanistic tradition, and of what it means to be human<br />
while producing knowledgeable citizens. Students will be<br />
expected to participate in a certain number of extracurricular<br />
cultural activities.<br />
University Preparation<br />
The Liberal Arts program is unique insofar as it avoids overspecialization<br />
and has been designed to prepare<br />
academically oriented students for almost all university<br />
programs. It does so by giving students the unique occasion<br />
to achieve coherence and breadth in their studies while<br />
allowing them to enrol in a wide variety of subjects across<br />
the curriculum. The program is devised for students who<br />
value freedom of choice in the selection of their courses as<br />
well as an integrated and creative approach to their<br />
collegial education. The program will be of special interest<br />
to students seeking an excellent preparation for eventual<br />
university studies in law, communication, journalism, social<br />
studies, education, and other liberal arts subjects.<br />
Integrative Activity<br />
To ensure that students are prepared for the integrative<br />
assessment at the end of their studies, each compulsory<br />
course has a requirement that students pass both the<br />
summative assessment at the end of the course as well as<br />
the general term work in order to earn a passing grade for<br />
the semester, in conformity with the local policy on the<br />
assessment of student learning.<br />
Comprehensive Assessment<br />
To fulfill the program requirements for graduation,<br />
students must complete a comprehensive assessment<br />
activity. The comprehensive assessment will be met<br />
through the writing of an extended essay and a final essay<br />
exam. Both of these will require students to demonstrate<br />
their achievement of the abilities and knowledge objectives<br />
pursued by the program. These activities will take place<br />
within 360-126 Liberal Arts Essay Seminar in their<br />
graduating semester.<br />

Sport Marketing & Management (410.D3) - Business Management Program (410.D0)<br />
Entrance Requirement<br />
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma<br />
of <strong>College</strong> Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a<br />
Quebec Secondary School Diploma including Math CST 4 or<br />
have completed a level of education that is deemed<br />
equivalent by the <strong>College</strong>. Additional admissions<br />
requirements can be found in the admission section of this<br />
calendar.<br />
For more information, please refer to our website at<br />
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.<br />
General Program Goal<br />
The three-year Sport Marketing & Management program is<br />
designed to prepare well-educated, competent, ethical and<br />
purposeful graduates to enter the field of Sport Marketing<br />
and/or Management as junior marketers, administrators and<br />
managers. This is accomplished by offering a program that<br />
emphasizes a broad general education, strong critical thinking<br />
skills, well-develop and relevant software skills,<br />
professionalism, and practical experience.<br />
Integrative Activity<br />
Integrative activities are part of most program-specific<br />
courses. However, the major integrative activities are in the<br />
form of the Practicum courses in sales and sport marketing -<br />
reflecting the two main areas of study in the program - the<br />
Field Work in Sport/Independent Study course in the fifth<br />
semester. In the Practicum courses, students are coached<br />
through viable implementations of real-world cases. One of<br />
the biggest differences between the Practicum courses and<br />
the other courses is that students will work on projects that<br />
can be produced, marketed or sold. For these courses,<br />
students will be required to work in a group - forming a<br />
Practicum executive of between three and five people. Each<br />
person will have positions such as market researcher,<br />
product manager, financial manager, and creative director.<br />
This will force students to be organized within their<br />
executive, and to prove that they can work well as part of a<br />
team. In the Practicum courses, students integrate the<br />
knowledge and skill they amassed in previous courses and<br />
develop a viable product or solution to a problem that is of<br />
high quality, delivered on time, on budget and to a market’s<br />
satisfaction. The Field Work in Sport/Independent Study in<br />
Sport is essential for providing hands-on experience in<br />
applying academic material in a non-academic setting. It also<br />
gives students the opportunity to integrate and apply what<br />
they have learned in the classroom to a real job.<br />
Comprehensive Assessment<br />
The Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Sport<br />
Management Internship and comprises two components for<br />
evaluation:<br />
1. The internship company’s evaluation of the student’s<br />
performance and competencies in the form of a<br />
standardized questionnaire, worth 25% of the<br />
evaluation.<br />
2. The student-written Internship Report and defence of<br />
the report are worth 75% of the evaluation.<br />
The report must include a brief description of the<br />
organization that the student worked for and a detailed<br />
summary of how the student’s time was spent and what<br />
achievements were attained. The report must refer back to<br />
the Internship contract and must detail the personal<br />
learning objectives that were achieved. The report will refer<br />
to three management concepts that the student learned<br />
during his/her studies and describe how each can be used to<br />
explain the Internship experience. The report must detail<br />
how management concepts were applied or, if applicable,<br />
why a concept wasn’t applied. The report must also include<br />
samples of work completed during the Internship. After the<br />
report is submitted, the student must do an Internship<br />
Presentation and Defence. In front of a committee, the<br />
student will place in context and review his/her Internship<br />
experience with the committee members. If the committee<br />
determines that the Internship requirements designated at<br />
any previous time have not been met, they may require that<br />
the student remediate to fulfill these requirements. For<br />
example, the committee could require the student to<br />
complete an additional literature review, relevant to the<br />
Internship, or to back-up his/her report with data.<br />
Students who do not attain the objectives will be informed<br />
of what is lacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit<br />
the assessment, either in the current session if time<br />
permits, or in a subsequent semester.<br />

Advertising Management (410.D4) - Business Management Program (410.D0)<br />
Entrance Requirement<br />
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma<br />
of <strong>College</strong> Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a Quebec<br />
Secondary School Diploma including Math CST 4 or have<br />
completed a level of education that is deemed equivalent<br />
by the <strong>College</strong>. Additional admissions requirements can be<br />
found in the admission section of this calendar.<br />
For more information, please refer to our website at<br />
www.champlainonline.com under Admissions.<br />
General Program Goal<br />
In this three-year diploma option, students will develop the<br />
basic skills required for planning, creating and implementing<br />
advertising and marketing communications activities. The<br />
Advertising Management option is designed to provide<br />
students with a well-rounded understanding of the technical,<br />
creative and business aspects of the advertising industry.<br />
Students will learn the importance of advertising in the<br />
marketing mix while practicing their business, creative and<br />
client-servicing skills. The option concludes with on-the-job<br />
fieldwork.<br />
Integrative Activity<br />
Integrative activities are included in most program-specific<br />
courses. However, the major integrative activities are in the<br />
form of the practicum courses in business-to-business (or<br />
industrial) advertising and campaign development for<br />
consumer products and services (reflecting the two main<br />
areas of study in the program). In the practicum courses,<br />
students are coached through viable implementations of<br />
real-world cases. One of the biggest differences between the<br />
practicum courses and the other courses is that students will<br />
work on projects that can be produced and executed while<br />
integrating the knowledge and skill that they amassed in<br />
previous courses and develop a viable campaign or solution<br />
to a problem. The campaign or solution must be of high<br />
quality, delivered on time and within budget and to a<br />
market’s satisfaction. For these courses, students will be<br />
required to work in a group - forming a practicum executive<br />
of between three and five people. Each person will have<br />
positions such as market researcher, public relations<br />
coordinator, financial manager and creative director. This will<br />
force students to be organized within their executive, and to<br />
prove that they can work well as part of a team.<br />
Comprehensive Assessment<br />
The Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Advertising &<br />
Media Internship and comprises two components for<br />
evaluation:<br />
1. The internship company’s evaluation of the student’s<br />
performance and competencies in the form of a<br />
standardized questionnaire, worth 50% of the<br />
evaluation.<br />
2. The student-written Internship Report and defence of<br />
the report worth 50% of the evaluation.<br />
For the latter, the report must include a brief description of<br />
the organization that the student worked for and a<br />
summary of the Internship accomplishments in which a<br />
description of how the student’s time was spent and what<br />
achievement were attained is detailed. The report must<br />
refer back to the Internship contract and must detail the<br />
personal learning objectives that were achieved. The report<br />
will refer to three management concepts that the student<br />
learned during his/her studies and describe how each can<br />
be used to explain the Internship experience. Finally, the<br />
report must also include samples of work completed during<br />
the Internship. After the report is submitted, the student<br />
must do an Internship Presentation and Defence. In front of<br />
a committee, the student will place in context and review<br />
his/her Internship experience with the committee<br />
members. If the committee determines that the Internship<br />
requirements designated at any previous time have not<br />
been met, they may require that the student does<br />
additional work to fulfill these requirements. For example,<br />
the committee could require the student to complete an<br />
additional literature review, relevant to the Internship, or<br />
to back-up his/her report with data.<br />
Students who demonstrate that they have achieved the<br />
objectives of the program at an acceptable standard in the<br />
comprehensive assessment will have the notation RE<br />
(réussi; passed) entered on their transcript. Students who<br />
do not attain the objectives will be informed of what is<br />
lacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit the<br />
assessment, either in the current session if time permits, or<br />
in a subsequent semester.<br />

Comprehensive Assessment<br />
Graduates are required to complete a Comprehensive<br />
Assessment prior to graduation. Students must have<br />
successfully completed three courses prior to producing the<br />
portfolio that will reflect the professional and personal skills<br />
they have developed during the three-year program. These<br />
courses are integrative activities involving all of the<br />
Computer Science program-specific competencies as either<br />
prerequisites or within the following courses:
• 420-514 Practicum 1: System Development<br />
• 420-612 Practicum 2: System Implementation<br />
• 420-611 Workstudy 2: Externship<br />
The “Practicums 1 & 2” are an integrative activity generally<br />
undertaken in pairs and involve students working on all<br />
phases of a live project (where possible) - analysis, design,<br />
development and implementation. The students will<br />
perform a feasibility study, analyze the current situation,<br />
design alternative solutions, and present these to<br />
“management” for a consensus on a plan of action. They<br />
then perform a detailed analysis and design of the proposed<br />
solution and develop it using a variety of software and<br />
programming languages which are generally previously<br />
unknown to the students. All projects involve programming,<br />
database, graphical user interfaces and internet<br />
programming. The externship is an integrative activity that<br />
provides students with an opportunity to use the<br />
knowledge and skills learned in a real-life industry setting<br />
and to do this autonomously in an unfamiliar computer<br />
environment. Students will be required to give an oral<br />
presentation to their colleagues and faculty and to submit a<br />
written report outlining the projects completed on stage,<br />
their work environment and a self-evaluation of their<br />
experience. The major part of the mark for the externship<br />
component is an outside assessment by the company<br />
supervisor. The portfolio will be assessed by the team of<br />
“externship” teachers on the competencies and abilities<br />
outlined in the Graduate Profile. Students must meet all<br />
objectives to pass the comprehensive assessment. Those<br />
students not succeeding on their first try will be given an<br />
opportunity to resubmit the portfolio one week later for reassessment.<br />
The portfolio consists of three parts as outlined<br />
below:<br />
Part 1: The overview includes:<br />
• an overview of the program completed<br />
• a self-assessment of the computer technology skills<br />
attained<br />
• a self-assessment of the communication skills attained<br />
• a self-assessment of the career/business skills attained<br />
• a self-assessment of the personal characteristics<br />
attained<br />
• a preliminary career plan - 1, 2 and 5 year plan<br />
Part 2: The work study project includes:<br />
• updated résumé<br />
• mid-point and final evaluations from company<br />
supervisors<br />
• copy of official transcript<br />
• hard-copy of the PowerPoint stage oral presentation<br />
• a self-evaluation of the work study experience<br />
Part 3: <strong>College</strong> projects include:<br />
• highlights from the systems analysis course - process<br />
and data models<br />
• highlights of the final project - executive summary,<br />
user guide extracts, etc.<br />
• a reflection on the teamwork experiences in final<br />
project and other third year courses<br />
• a review of experience with the various platforms.<br />
General Program Goal<br />
In accordance with the general goals of the technical<br />
training, the Computer Science program-specific<br />
component of the Programming for Web, Multimedia<br />
and Business option aims to:<br />
• enable students to acquire competence in the<br />
exercise of the occupation; to carry out the functions,<br />
tasks and activities of the occupation at the level<br />
required for entry into the job market;<br />
• help students integrate into professional life by giving<br />
them a general knowledge of the job market; as well<br />
as an understanding of the specific context of the<br />
selected occupation;<br />
• foster the students’ personal growth and encourage<br />
continuing professional development;<br />
• provide for the future job mobility of students by<br />
helping them to acquire career-management skills.<br />
Programming for Web, Multimedia and Business is a<br />
three-year option offering theoretical and practical work<br />
in computer subjects. The option is designed for students<br />
entering the job market after graduation but students<br />
may also continue their education at the university level.<br />
Students who intend to pursue university should consult<br />
an Academic Advisor. In certain instances advanced<br />
standing may be obtained at university for courses<br />
completed at the college level.<br />
Entrance Requirement<br />
In order to be admitted to a program leading to a Diploma<br />
of <strong>College</strong> Studies (DEC), candidates must possess a<br />
Secondary School Diploma or have completed a level of<br />
education that is deemed equivalent by the <strong>College</strong>.<br />

Nursing (180.A0)<br />
The Exit Profile<br />
The Exit Profile of the graduate nurse is informed by the<br />
OIIQ document ‘Outlook on the Practice of Nursing’ (2005),<br />
and more particularly by the section entitled ‘Goal of<br />
Nursing Practice’. Nursing practice enables people (person,<br />
family, group and/or community) to take charge of their<br />
health, according to their capacities and the resources<br />
available in their environment, regardless of their stage of<br />
life and regardless of their phase of illness. Nursing practice<br />
also has the purpose of enabling persons to ensure their<br />
own well-being and to maintain a good quality of life.<br />
The Exit Profile encompasses seven aspects of nursing<br />
practice that the graduate is expected to fulfill in his/her<br />
role as nurse. These include: the nurse-patient partnership,<br />
health promotion, prevention of disease, accidents and<br />
social problems, the therapeutic process, functional<br />
rehabilitation, quality of life and professional commitment.<br />
For each of these seven dimensions, the relevant elements<br />
of practice for the new graduate are described henceforth.<br />
1. NURSE-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP Principle: All patients are<br />
responsible for their own health. When patients express a<br />
need or expectation, the graduate nurse, taking into<br />
account patients’ capacities, encourages them to mobilize<br />
their personal resources and those available in the<br />
environment. The nurse-patient alliance is established<br />
through a relationship characterized by mutual respect and<br />
shared objectives.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
1.1 The graduate nurse recognizes that each patient is<br />
unique as a person. The graduate nurse establishes a<br />
partnership with the patient and helps the family participate<br />
in the care of the patient. This partnership is reflected in the<br />
nurse’s approach, notably by her attentiveness and the way<br />
in which she responds to needs and expectations expressed<br />
by the patient.<br />
1.2 The graduate nurse uses a nursing process to plan care<br />
and treatment activities with patients based on their needs<br />
and expectations. In the Therapeutic Nursing Plan, the<br />
graduate nurse uses strategies that ensure continuity and<br />
follow-up of nursing and medical care and treatment, and<br />
helps patients to use their personal resources as well as<br />
resources available within their environment.<br />
2. HEALTH PROMOTION<br />
Principle: All patients aspire to health and well-being. The<br />
graduate nurse helps patients to implement their choices<br />
while respecting their capacities, which may vary over time.<br />
Patients’ choices are dependent upon their expectations,<br />
personal resources and the resources within their<br />
environment.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
2.1 The graduate nurse helps patients to use and broaden<br />
their personal repertoire of resources to maintain or to<br />
improve their health and well-being. The graduate nurse<br />
facilitates knowledge transfer of health-related information<br />
to patients and helps them to make choices. The graduate<br />
nurse acknowledges the health-related behaviours that<br />
patients have acquired and takes patients’ learning styles<br />
into account in the teaching-learning process.<br />
2.2 The graduate nurse trains/informs others in the care<br />
delivery context who can help the patient in health<br />
promotion activities. The graduate nurse collaborates with<br />
the patient when choosing the most relevant educational<br />
strategies.<br />
3. PREVENTION of DISEASE, ACCIDENTS and SOCIAL<br />
PROBLEMS<br />
Principle: All patients face risks related to their state of<br />
health, living habits, life transitions or to the environment.<br />
The graduate nurse helps patients to identify potential<br />
problems related to these risks and helps patients adapt to<br />
actual problems in order to maintain their health and wellbeing.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
3.1 In collaboration with patients and other health<br />
professionals, the graduate nurse carries out programs and<br />
care activities to prevent infections, accidents, crisis<br />
situations or violence. The graduate nurse assesses risks for<br />
patients. When a risk situation is detected, the graduate<br />
nurse determines the appropriate screening and preventive<br />
measures. The graduate nurse ensures that monitoring and<br />
follow-up measures are integrated into the therapeutic<br />
nursing plan.<br />
3.2 The graduate nurse determines the need for restraint<br />
measures to protect the patient, after evaluating alternate<br />
possible solutions and consulting members of the<br />
interdisciplinary team as necessary. The graduate nurse<br />
determines and records the clinical monitoring parameters<br />
in the patient’s therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate<br />
nurse carries out diagnostic procedures for screening<br />
purposes and performs vaccinations in conjunction with<br />
public health-related activities.
3.3 The graduate nurse helps patients become aware of<br />
their personal resources, informs them of the resources<br />
available within their environment and helps them deal with<br />
their specific health-related situation/context. The graduate<br />
nurse pays particular attention to patients who are<br />
vulnerable or at risk.<br />
In co-operation with other health professionals, the<br />
graduate nurse engages in activities intended to correct<br />
practices and policies that may lead to health and social<br />
problems.<br />
4. THERAPEUTIC PROCESS<br />
Principle: All patients who know the diagnosis of their<br />
health-related problem have a need to be cared for,<br />
treated, informed, reassured and comforted. The graduate<br />
nurse assesses the patient’s physical and mental status, and<br />
in collaboration with the patient determines the nursing<br />
care and treatment required to maintain, restore or<br />
improve their health or to help the patient die with dignity.<br />
The graduate nurse encourages patients to participate, to<br />
the best of their abilities, in the care and treatments<br />
stipulated in the therapeutic nursing plan. The graduate<br />
nurse ensures that these interventions are carried out,<br />
provides patients with the assistance they require and<br />
monitors their responses throughout the therapeutic<br />
process.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
4.1 The graduate nurse assesses the patient’s physical and<br />
mental health status and formulates the therapeutic nursing<br />
plan. The graduate nurse demonstrates effective clinical<br />
skills and makes appropriate decisions based on patients’<br />
health related situations. The graduate nurse ensures a<br />
therapeutic presence for each patient and reassures the<br />
patient as required. The graduate nurse informs patients of<br />
their state of health, and the care and treatment they will<br />
receive. The graduate nurse provides nursing care and<br />
treatment, and carries out required invasive procedures.<br />
The graduate nurse develops the nursing treatment plan for<br />
wounds and alterations of the skin/teguments and provides<br />
the required care and treatment to patients. The graduate<br />
nurse co-ordinates care and treatment activities for a group<br />
of patients for which he/she is responsible, taking each<br />
patient’s priorities into account. The graduate nurse ensures<br />
that patients receive the care and treatment stipulated for<br />
them in the therapeutic nursing plan.<br />
4.2 The graduate nurse identifies patients’ learning needs<br />
and facilitates knowledge and skills acquisition, supporting<br />
patients in the process.<br />
4.3 The graduate nurse knows the trajectory of the disease,<br />
recognizes mourning and loss reactions in patients, and<br />
accompanies patients and their families as required. The<br />
graduate nurse clarifies the meaning of mourning or loss<br />
with individual patients and their families.<br />
4.4 The graduate nurse ensures that patients are informed<br />
about the diagnostic measures, invasive examinations and<br />
medical treatments that they are undergoing. The graduate<br />
nurse initiates diagnostic measures and performs invasive<br />
diagnostic examinations/tests, according to prescription.<br />
The graduate nurse provides and adjusts medical<br />
treatments, including medications, according to individual<br />
and/or collective prescriptions and protocols of the health<br />
care institution. The graduate nurse intervenes in<br />
emergencies, crises and situations of violence, according to<br />
patients’ needs and policies of the health care institution.<br />
4.5 The graduate nurse ensures that patients know the<br />
desired effects and side effects of medications administered<br />
to them. The graduate nurse evaluates the effects of care,<br />
treatments and medications and monitors for their<br />
effectiveness, including adverse reactions. The graduate<br />
nurse intervenes as the situation requires, makes<br />
appropriate clinical decisions and adjusts the therapeutic<br />
nursing plan as required.<br />
4.6 The graduate nurse ensures ongoing monitoring of<br />
patients’ physical and mental status, so as to track the<br />
evolution of their health status and detecting complications<br />
in a timely manner. The graduate nurse evaluates the<br />
effects of care and treatments in conjunction with relevant<br />
parameters, including clinical monitoring data and patients’<br />
reactions. The graduate intervenes appropriately in relation<br />
to identified problems and risks, and adjusts the therapeutic<br />
nursing plan as required. As relevant to his/her field of<br />
practice, the graduate nurse provides prenatal, perinatal<br />
and postpartum care.<br />
4.7 The graduate nurse provides clinical follow-up for<br />
patients with complex health problems by assessing and<br />
monitoring their condition and adjusting the therapeutic<br />
nursing plan and prescribed therapeutic medical plan. This is<br />
conducted in collaboration with patients within an<br />
interdisciplinary perspective, and in collaboration with<br />
relevant departments and appropriate professional and<br />
health care institutions. The graduate nurse records all<br />
clinical information required for monitoring the patient’s<br />
condition and for ensuring continuity of care and treatment,<br />
including data related to clinical assessments, identified<br />
problems, the therapeutic nursing plan and its adjustments,<br />
interventions and outcomes, as well as patients’ reactions.<br />
The graduate nurse ensures that patients’ records are kept<br />
up to date.
5. FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION<br />
Principle: All patients who experience limitations<br />
subsequent to an illness or accident can expand their selfcare<br />
repertoire and enhance their well-being in relation to<br />
their capabilities. The graduate nurse accompanies patients<br />
when they are attempting to recover a new equilibrium and<br />
to adapt to their environment.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
5.1 The graduate nurse helps patients to recover their<br />
equilibrium and to adjust to a new self-image.<br />
5.2 The graduate nurse guides patients, and family<br />
members as appropriate, to maximize their potential and<br />
attain an optimal level of autonomy. The graduate nurse<br />
teaches patients safety-related strategies, and those<br />
concerned with performing activities of daily living (ADL’s)<br />
and attaining patient well-being. The graduate nurse<br />
supports patients in their return to their ‘natural’ (home<br />
community) environment, or if necessary, transfer to a<br />
protective setting. The graduate nurse collaborates with<br />
other professionals in the formulation of an interdisciplinary<br />
intervention plan.<br />
6. QUALITY OF LIFE<br />
Principle: All patients strive for an optimum quality of life<br />
and have the right to have their values respected. The<br />
graduate nurse encourages patients to use their personal<br />
resources and those within their environment to enhance<br />
their quality of life. The graduate nurse helps patients to<br />
express their needs and to provide them with a sense of<br />
meaning to their health situation.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
6.1 The graduate nurse seeks out from patients the main<br />
criteria that define their quality of life and takes these<br />
factors into account in clinical interventions. The nurse<br />
supports patients’ use of personal resources and considers<br />
both resources and limitations in the patient’s environment.<br />
The graduate encourages the patient to maintain informal<br />
support networks.<br />
6.2 The graduate nurse ensures that her interventions will<br />
enhance the wellbeing of patients. The graduate nurse<br />
helps patients to find a sense of meaning in their healthrelated<br />
situation.<br />
6.3 The conduct of the graduate nurse is compatible with<br />
the legal, moral and ethical imperatives of the nursing<br />
profession.<br />
6.4 If patients request it, the graduate nurse informs them<br />
how to obtain access to their files.<br />
6.5 The graduate nurse supports patients in the defence of<br />
their rights and intercedes on their behalf if necessary. The<br />
graduate nurse reminds patients of their health-related<br />
responsibilities.<br />
7. PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT<br />
Principle: The graduate nurse demonstrates that his/her<br />
professional practice is based on sound scientific knowledge<br />
that he/she updates continuously. The graduate nurse is<br />
committed to his/her profession and exhibits solidarity with<br />
other nurses. He/she builds her professional identity<br />
through appropriate nursing care and treatment activities.<br />
The graduate nurse recognizes the importance of<br />
interdisciplinary practice and the need to co-operate with<br />
organizations within the community.<br />
Elements of Practice:<br />
7.1 The graduate nurse has developed a conception of the<br />
four meta-paradigm concepts of nursing (person, health,<br />
the environment and nursing). The graduate nurse pursues<br />
goal-seeking behaviours in the practice of nursing and is<br />
able to describe relevant goals.<br />
7.2 The graduate nurse is knowledgeable about the Nurse’s<br />
Act, the Code of Ethics of Nurses, as well as other acts and<br />
regulations governing professional practice.<br />
7.3 The graduate nurse is committed to continued learning<br />
and upgrading of his/her knowledge and skills. In the<br />
practice context, the graduate nurse demonstrates that<br />
he/she:<br />
• applies new knowledge;<br />
• contributes to the development of new knowledge;<br />
• helps in updating care practices;<br />
• participates in nursing research (as called upon)<br />
7.4 The graduate nurse asserts his/her professional identity<br />
by:<br />
• explaining the role of nursing to patients, the general<br />
public and various health professionals;<br />
• participating in interdisciplinary committees that have<br />
repercussions on nursing;<br />
• participating in committees where the presence of the<br />
nurse is requested (e.g. Council of Nurses)<br />
7.5 The graduate nurse exhibits leadership skills:<br />
• within the profession, by initiating innovative nursing care<br />
approaches;<br />
• within the health care system and through an<br />
interdisciplinary collaboration, by contributing to improving
the quality of care and services within the health care<br />
network;<br />
• within society, by explaining and demonstrating the<br />
contribution of the nursing profession to health-related<br />
initiatives.<br />
7.6 The graduate nurse co-operates with members of the<br />
health care team to ensure that patients constantly receive<br />
quality care.<br />
7.7 In the context of professional practice, the graduate<br />
nurse:<br />
• helps to train nurse externs;<br />
• shares expertise and makes constructive comments to<br />
nursing colleagues;<br />
• is proud of the nursing profession.<br />
7.8 The graduate nurse is well informed about:<br />
• the functioning of the health care system;<br />
• the major problems affecting changes in the health and<br />
welfare policies;<br />
• the social situations affecting the health system (e.g.,<br />
shortage of resources, aging population);<br />
• the progress of the discipline of nursing.<br />
7.9 Together with members of the interdisciplinary team<br />
and the administrative leadership team, the graduate nurse<br />
participates in promoting legislative and social measures to<br />
improve health and social services (representatives to<br />
amend or adopt health policies, draft bills, regulations, etc.)<br />
7.10 The graduate nurse acts responsibly by:<br />
• making sure that he/she has the necessary competencies<br />
before intervening in a clinical situation;<br />
• using human, material and financial resources wisely;<br />
• taking into account his/her own health-related rights and<br />
obligations.<br />
7.11 The graduate nurse is responsible, at all times, for the<br />
care and treatment of patients in his/her care.<br />

Determining both the presence and the nature of small<br />
amounts of organic compounds in the environment or in<br />
the human body is very important. To analyse for the<br />
presence of organic substances in matter requires using<br />
certain techniques such as infrared (i.r.) and nuclear<br />
magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectroscopy. To determine<br />
the amount of a trace organic compound present in a<br />
urine sample, a combination of gas chromatography and<br />
mass spectrometry may be used. These techniques will<br />
be discussed and the student will be able to record i.r.<br />
spectra as well as analyze other spectra. The student will<br />
also learn how to synthesize and carry out reactions with<br />
the following classes of compounds: alcohols, aldehydes,<br />
ketones, carboxylic acids, Ethers and Amines.<br />
Spectroscopy will be applied so as to help in the<br />
elucidation of the structure of such compounds. NOTE:<br />

A Global Village Divided<br />
(Level II Geography for Social Science Students only)<br />
The aim of the course is to examine the relationship of<br />
cities to the cultural and political evolution of<br />
humankind. To analyze from a geographical perspective<br />
the phenomenon of urbanism and its impact on the<br />
decision making process worldwide from the financial<br />
"shrines" in the downtowns of New York, London or<br />
Tokyo to the shantytowns of South Africa, Africa and Asia<br />
all the way down to the slums of the Western World.<br />
With the ongoing technological revolution since the past<br />
few decades, humanity has conquered distance in an<br />
unprecedented speed and the world is getting closer to<br />
each other as never before. This phenomenon could<br />
never have occurred had it not been for the cities which<br />
are deciding for the best and the worst humanity has to<br />
offer to itself. The concepts which the course brings<br />
forward will enable the student to understand why while<br />
humanity as a whole is increasingly becoming a global<br />
village. We as members of states and nations are ever<br />
divided behind frontiers and boundaries, and why<br />
"Polis," the Greek word for city, is almost synonymous<br />
with the political process.<br />

The quest for human nature - that is, the search for a<br />
better understanding of us as individuals and members<br />
of societies - has always been at the heart of<br />
philosophical investigations. In this course, the third in<br />
the sequence of IB Philosophy courses, students will<br />
explore some of the key ideas and theories about human<br />
nature. The following questions, among others, will be<br />
addressed: What is a person? What are the key<br />
manifestations of personhood? What, if anything, makes<br />
human beings different from nonhuman animals? What<br />
defines our uniqueness? Are human beings endowed<br />
with free will or are they programmed by their genes?<br />
Are members of Homo sapiens naturally inclined to be<br />
selfish and aggressive or not? Is the nature of men and<br />
women fundamentally different or similar? To what<br />
extent does the environment shape and modify human<br />
nature? Throughout the semester students will be<br />
encouraged to critically assess their views and<br />
assumptions about human nature.<br />

principal ideas and problems of Western philosophy. The<br />
following questions, among others, will be addressed:<br />
What is the mind? Does the external world truly exist?<br />
What, if anything, can be known with certainty to be<br />
true? What is truth? Do human beings survive death? Is<br />
free will an illusion? In their exploration of these<br />
questions and the various answers which have been<br />
proposed to them, students will be encouraged to<br />
engage in both conceptual and logical analysis with a<br />
view not only to better understand the issues involved in<br />
approaching these questions but also to improve their<br />
critical thinking skills. Throughout the semester students<br />

Meaning, and Life’s Problems: Exploring Philosophy<br />
(Complementary course - open to all students)<br />
The study of philosophy is the study of ourselves and our<br />
world – an attempt to explain the deeper meaning of<br />
things. What does it mean to be human? Is there a soul<br />
or life after death? What is the best way to organize<br />
society? Can war ever be justified? How should we think<br />
about science and new technologies? How should we<br />
approach relationships, sex and love? What is the<br />
difference between appearances and reality? This course<br />
will look at questions such as these, basing the discussion<br />
on a close study of the ideas found in the tests by some<br />
of the great philosophers in history.<br />

Theory of Knowledge I<br />
(Humanities for International Baccalaureate students<br />
only)<br />
This is the first course of a two course sequence in the<br />
Theory of Knowledge. The principal objective of these<br />
courses is to develop student awareness of and sensitivity<br />
to similarities and differences in the forms of knowledge.<br />
Two general questions are at the heart of these courses:<br />
How do I know that something is the case (i.e., true)? and<br />
how are knowledge claims within a particular discipline<br />
justified? In this first course, the role of language in<br />
conditioning thinking and feeling, the various forms of<br />
logical inquiry, and the nature of science will be explored.<br />
The main objective of this course is to develop student<br />
ability to communicate effectively, and to think clearly and<br />
logically. To achieve these objectives, the course will begin<br />
by considering the nature of language, the role it plays in<br />
shaping and transmitting ideas and information, and its<br />
connection with knowledge and values. Attention will also<br />
be devoted to the study of logic. Deductive logic, as well as<br />
inductive logic, will be explored together with an<br />
examination of some of the more common informal<br />
fallacies. The course will conclude with an examination of<br />
natural science and the pattern of inquiry peculiar to it.<br />

Theory of Knowledge II<br />
(Humanities for IB students only)<br />
This course is the second and final course in the Theory of<br />
Knowledge sequence. Building on the ideas studied in ToK<br />
I, students, in this course, will consider questions and<br />
issues connected with “knowledge” and “knowing” in the<br />
social sciences, history, ethics and aesthetics. In particular<br />
students will explore the relationship between objects of<br />
knowledge and the socio-cultural context of the "patterns<br />
of inquiry" connected with their construction. The<br />
following are among some of the more specific questions<br />
to be considered: Are "facts" objective, or are they theory<br />
laden? Are there historical facts which all historians must<br />
acknowledge? Is the fact value dichotomy tenable, or is it<br />
a vestige of a discredited epistemology? Is the scientific<br />
method the only reliable method available to human<br />
agents seeking knowledge? Are there “objective”<br />
standards in ethics or are all moral judgements<br />
“subjective”? Throughout the course students will be<br />
encouraged to engage in a review of their own<br />
assumptions regarding the nature of knowledge and the<br />
methods of knowing whereby it is acquired. The course<br />
will conclude with an examination of the nature of “truth”.<br />

and will place each piece in its cultural and historical<br />
context. A variety of artwork and topics, for example<br />
gender and beauty, war and destruction, culture and<br />
religion, social change and consumerism will be<br />
examined in order to highlight how culture, time, place<br />
and social context can affect the interpretation and<br />
representation of ideas. Students will think critically<br />
about what the artists and their societies ‘knew’ to be<br />
true and compare this with their own knowledge base<br />
and value system.<br />

way in which we see the world and ourselves. In our<br />
analysis we also explore the possible limits to such<br />
knowledge, for example, the limits to self-understanding.<br />
We also examine knowing in History and compare it with<br />
knowing in Science. Is the process of knowing the same<br />
or different? And how do we come to know about<br />
History? We shall see how our way of viewing historical<br />
events influences our lives.<br />

Knowledge, Science, and Philosophy<br />
(Humanities – Knowledge)<br />
All humans seek to understand the world and their own<br />
individual existence. It has long been believed that<br />
philosophy could offer us knowledge in such matters,<br />
knowledge of the "highest kind" known as wisdom. Does<br />
philosophy truly offer knowledge? If so, what kind of<br />
knowledge would wisdom be? How can we achieve it?<br />
This course will attempt to answer these questions by<br />
considering the nature of knowledge itself and by<br />
examining the origin, historical development, and<br />
methods of Science, and by comparing and contrasting<br />
scientific knowledge with philosophy in order to<br />
determine whether indeed there is such a thing as<br />
"philosophical knowledge".<br />

Education and Social Change<br />
(Humanities – Knowledge)<br />
As a student you have probably asked yourself if the<br />
knowledge you are pursuing is worthwhile. What kinds of<br />
knowledge are valued by our society and how is it reflected<br />
in education systems? How does schooling take into<br />
account differences in how people learn? This course will<br />
look at various educational approaches, or ways of<br />
organizing knowledge, in relation to social values. We will<br />
start with a historical overview of key educational thinkers<br />
and movements, including the emergence of mass<br />
education in the 19 th century. We will then study critiques of<br />
traditional schooling as well as alternative movements, such<br />
as free schooling and popular education. Students will apply<br />
theories of critical pedagogy, addressing issues of equity in<br />
the context of increasingly diverse classrooms, technological<br />
change and the ascendancy of media culture.<br />

various components of knowledge: beliefs, truth claims,<br />
views of truth, and the processes of justification and<br />
validation. The nature and impact of language on beliefs<br />
and the view of knowledge will also be examined. This<br />
will be followed by a consideration of the development<br />
of various forms of knowledge in the Ancient and the<br />
Classical World: notably astronomy, mathematics,<br />
biology and philosophy. Throughout the semester<br />
students will be encouraged to relate the topics studied<br />

Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories<br />
(Humanities - Knowledge)<br />
‘To conspire’ is ‘to plot or plan secretly with others’,<br />
usually with illegal or evil intent and often within the<br />
structure of real or alleged ‘secret societies’. Accounts of,<br />
and public fascination with conspiracy theories and<br />
secret societies appeal variously to the deluded, the<br />
disenchanted and the disenfranchised. They also attract<br />
the powerful establishment. This course will explore the<br />
relationship between knowledge, power and control.<br />
Students will apply theories of knowledge and principles<br />
of critical thinking to both historical and contemporary<br />
conspiracy theories.<br />

The Humanist Tradition<br />
(Humanities – Worldviews)<br />
Humanism envisions human beings as living works of art<br />
whereby each person is their own, and humankind’s,<br />
artisan. We are our own artisans because each of us<br />
possesses the tools, such as thought and creativity, and<br />
consequently the responsibility to become as fully<br />
“human” as possible. Throughout history the label<br />
“humanism” has been attached to a variety of worldviews.<br />
In this course students will gain insight into the vast<br />
humanist tradition from Renaissance to modernity by<br />
examining, comparing and contrasting a variety of<br />
worldviews such as spiritual humanism, secular humanism<br />
and existential humanism, to name a few.<br />

requires understanding of a particular philosophy. Students<br />
will explore the question of what constitutes a worldview<br />
and the philosophy of green living as an example of this.<br />
They will gain some insight into the origins of modern<br />
ecological thinking and the significant ways this may differ<br />

Democracy and Cultural Diversity<br />
(Humanities – Worldviews)<br />
Through many centuries, governments often abetted by an<br />
established religion, treated their people as if they were<br />
homogeneous, and did not hesitate to enforce certain<br />
values, customs and beliefs. Once the principles of<br />
democracy have been truly embraced, such an attitude can<br />
hardly be maintained. Any true democracy must come to<br />
terms with such concepts as multiculturalism and pluralism.<br />
In this course students will explore the question of what<br />
constitutes a worldview, and they will consider the extent to<br />
which different worldviews may be compatible within a<br />
democratic society. Attention will also be given to the<br />
relationship between different societies with differing<br />
predominant worldviews.<br />

How should we live? What does it mean to live a “good”<br />
life? Is there an ideal way of organising society? What kinds<br />
of moral or political obligations, if any, do we have? How<br />
should we approach controversial political or moral issues?<br />
This class will examine these and similar questions by<br />
studying one optional theme in the International<br />

Philosophy” or “Theories and Problems of Ethics”) and<br />
through a close reading of one of the following texts:<br />
Aristotle's “Nicomachean Ethics”, Immanuel Kant’s<br />
“Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals”, Friedrich<br />
Nietzsche’s “On the Genealogy of Morals”, John Stuart Mill’s<br />
“Essay on Liberty” or Charles Taylor’s “The Ethics of<br />
Authenticity”. Topics singled out for discussion may include<br />
the different forms of ethical theory, the origins and nature<br />
of value and value judgements, self-interest versus altruism,<br />
the concept of liberty and its relation to social or political<br />
life, authority, sovereignty, power, and corruption, human<br />
rights and their denial, and retributive versus distributive<br />
justice. Students will examine these and other issues by<br />
means of lectures, structured discussions, workshops, oral<br />
and written reports, and other learning activities. This<br />
course is intended to allow students to apply concepts and<br />
techniques acquired in TOK I and II and the introductory<br />

History of Science & Scientific Methodology<br />
(Methodology for Liberal Arts students only)<br />
This course charts the history of the scientific approach<br />
to knowledge. It focuses on the transition from the<br />
medieval worldview to one where nature is studied<br />
through the application of the scientific method, through<br />
to the post-modernist critique of science. Students will<br />
learn the theory underlying some of the important<br />
developments in science after the 1500s. The course<br />
explores the philosophical assumptions that frame<br />
knowledge in science, and contextualises scientific<br />
knowledge within the artistic, literary and political<br />
movements of the time. An important distinction<br />
between science and other philosophies is that scientific<br />
knowledge is derived from sensory information and<br />
physical manipulation, augmented by technological tools.<br />
For this reason this course includes two hours of<br />
laboratory work per week, and emphasis is placed upon<br />
directly experiencing some of the techniques used by<br />
scientists to understand the world around us.<br />

one another and the rest of nature? Were we separately<br />
created or did we evolve from a common ancestor?<br />
What forces shaped us in the past? What were we like<br />
during prehistoric times? When, where and how did we<br />
become civilized? What was early civilization like? In<br />
contrast, what are we like today? Are human races real?<br />
Why are there so many different races and languages on<br />
the planet? Why do people eat such different foods,<br />
wear different clothing, treat sex and marriage so<br />
differently, and worship such different gods? Why does<br />
each group cherish its own way of life while often hating<br />
others? These and many other important questions will<br />

Introductory Sociology<br />
(Level I Sociology for Social Science students only)<br />
Do you ever wonder why people do what they do? Do you<br />
think about who you are and why you are that way?<br />
Sociology can give you insights into the workings of human<br />
behaviour and the social world around you. Students will be<br />
introduced to the discipline of sociology by focusing on the<br />
relationship of individuals to others and to the society<br />
around them. Interpreting the world with a sociological<br />
imagination allows us to see the common behaviour<br />
patterns in groups of people and the social forces that<br />
underlie, mould and shape us as individuals. Topics include<br />
culture, socialization, prejudice and discrimination and<br />
social inequality.<br />

Social Change - Societies in Flux<br />
(Level II Sociology for Social Science students only)<br />
Do you sometimes tire of hearing older people’s stories<br />
about the ‘good old days’? Did you ever stop to think why<br />
their lives seem so different? Social change is increasing and<br />
moving more and more quickly. Ten years ago cell phones,<br />
wireless technology and computers were much less<br />
common. What impact has this had and how can you figure<br />
it out? The goal is to make students aware of social change<br />
and its effect on the individual. Basic sociological theories<br />
and models of social change explain the dynamics of society<br />
and the structural changes in social institutions, historically<br />
as well as today.<br />

What’s the difference between education and school? What<br />
makes a good school? Is it all academic? What about the<br />
social world of school? In this course we link the personal<br />
experiences that we all have of school to the sociological<br />
theories of education. Education will be analyzed from the<br />
micro-level interpersonal interactions of the classroom to<br />
the macro-level of the organization of schools and how they<br />
fit with other institutions such as the family and work. The<br />

Sex, Race and Class - Diversity and Inequality<br />
(Level II Sociology for Social Science students only)<br />
Are we all equal? Then why do some people drive BMWs<br />
and some ride the bus? Why do some wear designer<br />
clothes, have great multimedia systems in their homes and<br />
others have to struggle to get enough to eat? Diversity is a<br />
major feature of Canadian society and it is multi-faceted.<br />
We are each ‘placed’ in the social ranking system partially<br />
by virtue of our sex, race and ethnicity. We will focus on the<br />
theories and impact of the social stratification in our society.<br />
The consequences of the social class of one’s family of<br />
origin, race, ethnicity, sex, level of education and occupation<br />
will be analyzed. Possible solutions to the problems of<br />
inequality will be discussed.<br />

Sociology of Gender, Race and Justice<br />
(Level II Sociology for Social Science students only)<br />
In this course we will examine the taken for granted<br />
assumption that the legal system treats us all equally. We<br />
pride ourselves as Canadians as having created an<br />
egalitarian society but it is true that everybody is equal<br />
before the law? Do people suffer from discrimination at<br />
the hands of the justice and juvenile justice system? Are<br />
criminals, crimes and victims distinguished by gender and<br />
race? How do race and gender play a role in the justice<br />
we received? Are incarceration rates and sentencing<br />
“fair”? This course looks at the intersection of gender,<br />
race and justice in Canada today and in the past. Specific<br />
issues to be addressed may include the treatment of<br />
Aboriginal youth, family violence, crimes against women,<br />
racial profiling and the idea of restorative justice.<br />

sociology and examines the approaches taken by other<br />
social sciences, notably, psychology, anthropology and<br />
political science. The course focuses on the social (group)<br />
environment, the influence of existing, ongoing social<br />
structures that transcend and outlast individual members<br />
and how society transmits its expectations on individuals<br />
through its institutions and agencies of socialization and<br />
social control. Students learn the meaning and significance<br />
of concepts such as culture, socialization and social<br />
stratification and study social issues, such as<br />
multiculturalism, poverty and racism in the context of<br />
ongoing and constant social change and examine their own<br />
values in regard to these issues.<br />

Sociology of Families, Diverse Cultures and<br />
Communities:<br />
The family has often been referred to as the foundational<br />
social institution of a society. As such, it plays a crucial<br />
role in shaping individual beliefs, attitudes and<br />
behaviours, such as those related to health and health<br />
services. The family can also be considered as the mirror<br />
of social inequalities and social change, as well as the<br />
stronghold of ethnic, cultural and community values.<br />
Ultimately, all these dimensions have an impact on the<br />
nurse/patient relationship and on nursing practice in<br />
general. This course will provide future nurses with<br />
background knowledge which will allow them to situate<br />
the various family structures within the larger context of<br />
society, as well as the interaction between culture and<br />
community. Future nurses will also gain abilities that will<br />
help them interact with patients from diverse social and<br />
