Methodology (Also see page 100) 300-101-LA Introduction to Methodology in the Social Sciences (Methodology for Social Science Students only) Students will examine the entire process of doing research in the social and human sciences. They will see what is meant by the scientific method, the difficulties involved in doing research with humans and ethical considerations that affect researchers' work. Students will learn which research techniques are used in the different disciplines they are studying. They will use their knowledge of quantitative methods and research techniques to evaluate research reported in the media, texts and journals, and they will create, implement and report on a research project of their own. 4 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 360-101, or 201-337, or 201-BLF 300-201-LA Introduction to Research Methods in the Liberal Arts (Methodology for Liberal Arts students only) This course introduces students to the use of proper research methods in the Liberal Arts. Students will practice the various research and expository skills needed to write a scholarly ten-page research essay (e.g., critical evaluation of primary and secondary sources, organized note-taking, and writing of increasingly well-structured and clearly expressed drafts). During the lab period students will have the opportunity to improve their computer skills. 4 hours/week Units: 2.00 300-202-LA Statistics in the Social Sciences (Level II for Social Science students only) This course will apply advanced statistical tools, based on probability theory, to decision-making in research with an emphasis on the use of research design in Psychology. It is recommended for students who wish to pursue university studies in psychology. Although it is offered as a required course to students in the Psychology option, it is also open to students from all Social Science program options who wish to expand their knowledge of statistics and research methods beyond the Quantitative Methods course. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 300-301-LA Integration Seminar in the Social Sciences (I.S.S.S.) (Methodology for Social Science Students only) This course offers students the unique opportunity to consolidate some of the links among the disciplines in the social sciences. Each student will select and research a social issue, write an academic paper, and present their findings orally. In the paper, the student will analyze the issue from two social science disciplines and one theoretical framework. This process will serve as an excellent preparation for university studies. The successful paper will also meet the criteria for the Program’s Comprehensive Assessment. The I.S.S.S. course must be taken at Champlain College Saint-Lambert only in the final semester of the Social Science program. Students will not be granted permission to enrol for this course at another Cegep. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 300-101-LA Also see Page 100
Geography 320-101-LA World Geography (Level I Geography for Social Science students only) The aim of this course is to provide the student with an overview of the Earth's physical environment, human patterns and cultural diversity. While the approach is necessarily general, the student will gain a clear image of the complex patterns of the human-environment relationship. Contents include the following: The Earth as Habitat - the major physical patterns: climatic, hysiographic, hydro geographic, and biogeographic. The Earth as Human Environment - the major human patterns: demographic, cultural, political and economic. Strength in Diversity - selected regions as examples of the integration of physical and human patterns. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 320-122 -LA Destination Information I: World Geography (Geography for Tourism students only) The focus of the Destinations courses is to provide and analyze Regional, National and International tourist information. Students will use geographic vocabulary, models, diagrams, maps and statistical tables. They will analyze the destination areas according to their physical, historical, political and economic conditions. They will also locate and categorize the main points of interest typical of the destination and assess its tourist potential, taking into account different types of tourist motivation. Positive and negative impacts of tourism on the destination will be considered, as well as current news events. Each destination will be evaluated as a potential source of travelers for Quebec and Canada. Students will participate in learning activities including group interaction, role play, audio-visual analysis, tour design and research work. Students will be asked to apply their knowledge and analytical skills to increasingly complex traveling challenges. 3 hours/week Units: 1.66 320-201-LA Understanding the Earth (Level II Geography for Social Science Students only) An understanding of the fascinating and complex web of relationships that order our physical environment is fundamental to any student interested in pursuing studies in Geography, the Earth Sciences or to those merely curious about their physical surroundings. The course is designed to provide a basic knowledge of environmental processes with a minimal background in Geography. This course is structured around four elements: The atmosphere - the nature and general patterns of climate and weather; the hydrosphere - both marine and fresh water environments; the biosphere - soils, vegetation and biogeography; and the lithosphere - the "solid" earth and the development of landscapes. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of people and their environment using local examples. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 320-101-LA 320-202-LA A Global Village Divided (Level II Geography for Social Science Students only) The aim of the course is to examine the relationship of cities to the cultural and political evolution of humankind. To analyze from a geographical perspective the phenomenon of urbanism and its impact on the decision making process worldwide from the financial "shrines" in the downtowns of New York, London or Tokyo to the shantytowns of South Africa, Africa and Asia all the way down to the slums of the Western World. With the ongoing technological revolution since the past few decades, humanity has conquered distance in an unprecedented speed and the world is getting closer to each other as never before. This phenomenon could never have occurred had it not been for the cities which are deciding for the best and the worst humanity has to offer to itself. The concepts which the course brings forward will enable the student to understand why while humanity as a whole is increasingly becoming a global village. We as members of states and nations are ever divided behind frontiers and boundaries, and why "Polis," the Greek word for city, is almost synonymous with the political process. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 Prerequisite: 320-101-LA
