Humanities (Course Descriptions)Theory of Knowledge I345-IB1-01 (in-house course number)(Humanities for International Baccalaureate students only)345-101-LA (official ministerial course number)This is the first course of a two course sequence in the Theory of Knowledge. The principal objective of these courses is todevelop student awareness of and sensitivity to similarities and differences in the forms of knowledge. Two general questionsare at the heart of these courses: How do I know that something is the case (i.e., true)? and how are knowledge claims within aparticular discipline justified? In this first course, the role of language in conditioning thinking and feeling, the various forms oflogical inquiry, and the nature of science will be explored. The main objective of this course is to develop student ability tocommunicate effectively, and to think clearly and logically. To achieve these objectives, the course will begin by consideringthe nature of language, the role it plays in shaping and transmitting ideas and information, and its connection with knowledgeand values. Attention will also be devoted to the study of logic. Deductive logic, as well as inductive logic, will be exploredtogether with an examination of some of the more common informal fallacies. The course will conclude with an examinationof natural science and the pattern of inquiry peculiar to it.3 hours/week Units: 2.00Theory of Knowledge II345-IB2-02 (in-house course number)(Humanities for IB students only)345-102-LA (official ministerial course number)This course is the second and final course in the Theory of Knowledge sequence. Building on the ideas studied in ToK I,students, in this course, will consider questions and issues connected with “knowledge” and “knowing” in the social sciences,history, ethics and aesthetics. In particular students will explore the relationship between objects of knowledge and thesocio-cultural context of the "patterns of inquiry" connected with their construction. The following are among some of themore specific questions to be considered: Are "facts" objective, or are they theory laden? Are there historical facts which allhistorians must acknowledge? Is the fact value dichotomy tenable, or is it a vestige of a discredited epistemology? Is thescientific method the only reliable method available to human agents seeking knowledge? Are there “objective” standards inethics or are all moral judgements “subjective”? Throughout the course students will be encouraged to engage in a review oftheir own assumptions regarding the nature of knowledge and the methods of knowing whereby it is acquired. The course willconclude with an examination of the nature of “truth”.Absolute Prerequisite: Theory of Knowledge I 3 hours/week Units: 2.00The Vision of Art (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQThis course looks at visual art as a form of knowledge. Students will study a wide variety of artwork and will place eachpiece in its cultural and historical context. A variety of artwork and topics, for example gender and beauty, war anddestruction, culture and religion, social change and consumerism will be examined in order to highlight how culture, time,place and social context can affect the interpretation and representation of ideas. Students will think critically about whatthe artists and their societies “knew” to be true and compare this with their own knowledge base and value system.4 hours/week Units: 2.33Religion and Knowledge (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQSince their inception, religions have offered various truth claims about the world, the fundamental mysteries of the universe andexistence. This course will compare scientific, philosophical and other types of knowledge with religion in order to determinewhether indeed there is such a things as religious knowledge.4 hours/week Units: 2.33Science and History (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQIn this course we examine how we come to know in Science and how such knowing has revolutionized the way in which wesee the world and ourselves. In our analysis we also explore the possible limits to such knowledge, for example, the limits toself-understanding. We also examine knowing in History and compare it with knowing in Science. Is the process of knowingthe same or different? And how do we come to know about History? We shall see how our way of viewing historical eventsinfluences our lives.4 hours/week Units: 2.3345

Humanities (Continued)Knowledge, Science, and Philosophy (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQAll humans seek to understand the world and their own individual existence. It has long been believed that philosophycould offer us knowledge in such matters, knowledge of the "highest kind" known as wisdom. Does philosophy truly offerknowledge? If so, what kind of knowledge would wisdom be? How can we achieve it? This course will attempt to answerthese questions by considering the nature of knowledge itself and by examining the origin, historical development, andmethods of Science, and by comparing and contrasting scientific knowledge with philosophy in order to determine whetherindeed there is such a thing as "philosophical knowledge".4 hours/week Units: 2.33Gender and Knowledge (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQThis course explores the relationship between gender and what we know. It will examine how nature (the biological makeupof an individual) and nurture (the environment) affect gender definition and gender roles, as well as how we acquire,transmit and shape information and ideas.4 hours/week Units: 2.33The Development of Knowledge (Humanities – Knowledge)345-101-MQThis course explores how humans have developed explanations of the world and how fundamental elements of knowledgecontinue to undergo change, often through contributions from the humanities.

What kinds of knowledge arevalued by our society and how is it reflected in education systems? How does schooling take into account differences in howpeople learn? This course will look at various educational approaches, or ways of organizing knowledge, in relation to socialvalues. We will start with a historical overview of key educational thinkers and movements, including the emergence of masseducation in the 19 th century. We will then study critiques of traditional schooling as well as alternative movements, such as freeschooling and popular education.

Info. SystemsPhilosophyPhysical EducationPolitical SciencePsychologyPublic AffairsReligionSocial WorkSociologySpecialized WritingGraduate ProfileThe graduate exit profile indicates what students areexpected to achieve by the time the program is completed.It outlines three main areas of expertise: knowledge,thinking and learning in the social sciences. At Champlainthese major areas and their related abilities are as follows:Knowledge of disciplinary content means that students• identify the main disciplinary-specific andtransdisciplinary facts, notions, terms, principles,concepts and questions and apply this knowledgeappropriately• explain the major disciplinary-specific and transdisciplinarytheories, laws, models, approaches and schools of thoughtin relation to their authors and concrete situationsKnowledge of social science methods means thatstudents• use empirical evidence to support their conclusions• apply their knowledge of the scientific approach toempirical data• demonstrate a knowledge and application ofqualitative and quantitative research methodsThinking like a social scientist means• demonstrating qualities associated with a scientificmind and critical thinking• recognizing the utility as well as the limitations oftheory• selecting appropriate theoretical frameworks to explainsocial issues• situating various issues related to informed,responsible participation in a world-wide context• understanding ethical issues across the disciplines• drawing connections between different disciplines• drawing connections between knowledge in socialscience courses and everyday life that ultimately leadto an understanding of people, groups and cultures• integrating learning acquired throughout the programby identifying key concepts, theories and methods fromdiverse disciplines and using these to analyze socialissues66

Social Science Program (300.A0)Successful students in the social sciences• use learning strategies that allow them to reach their shortand long-term goals and serve as a solid foundation forfuture studies• recognize main thesis and/or author’s purpose,supporting details and the relationships among ideas indifferent texts• communicate ideas clearly in written format• communicate ideas orally in a clear and coherent fashion• work effectively as a member of a group• integrate their learning throughout the program• use appropriate self-assessment techniques to reflect ontheir own learning• read and understand basic social science documentswritten in French• use appropriate information-processing technologies• demonstrate awareness of the need to develop lifestylehabits conducive to good physical, emotional andintellectual healthComprehensive AssessmentAccording to the Exit Profile for the Social Science program,successful students graduate with an understanding ofhuman phenomena from a social scientific perspective. Theyacquire a thorough knowledge of disciplinary content andresearch methods in the social sciences and extend theirability to think, communicate and learn effectively. Theelements of the Exit Profile are practiced throughout thevarious social science courses and especially in the finalcourse, the Integration Seminar in the Social Sciences (seeabove). The successful Integrated Interdisciplinary Paperthat students write in this course signals that the studenthas met the criteria for the program’s ComprehensiveAssessment.Integrative ActivitySocial Science students must demonstrate that they haveintegrated knowledge from their Social Science courses.Although the integration of concepts, theories and researchmethods occurs throughout the program it is the main focusof the Integration Seminar in the Social Sciences (ISSS) courseoffered in the graduating semester. In this course, studentsevaluate their learning approach and review key concepts,theories and issues they have dealt with in their Social Sciencecourses. The focal point of the course is the IntegratedInterdisciplinary Paper in which students examine a socialissue from the perspective of at least two social sciencesdisciplines and one theoretical framework. Students presenttheir major findings orally and critically assess their finalpaper. This integrative activity prepares the students foruniversity studies and meets the requirement of theComprehensive Assessment.67

The campaign or solution must be of high quality,delivered on time and within budget and to a market’ssatisfaction. For these courses, students will be required towork in a group - forming a practicum executive of betweenthree and five people. Each person will have positions such asmarket researcher, public relations coordinator, financialmanager and creative director. This will force students to beorganized within their executive, and to prove that they canwork well as part of a team.Comprehensive AssessmentThe Comprehensive Assessment occurs in the Advertising &Media Internship and comprises two components forevaluation:1. The internship company’s evaluation of the student’sperformance and competencies in the form of astandardized questionnaire, worth 50% of theevaluation.2. The student-written Internship Report and defence ofthe report worth 50% of the evaluation.For the latter, the report must include a brief description ofthe organization that the student worked for and asummary of the Internship accomplishments in which adescription of how the student’s time was spent and whatachievement were attained is detailed. The report mustrefer back to the Internship contract and must detail thepersonal learning objectives that were achieved. The reportwill refer to three management concepts that the studentlearned during his/her studies and describe how each canbe used to explain the Internship experience. Finally, thereport must also include samples of work completed duringthe Internship. After the report is submitted, the studentmust do an Internship Presentation and Defence. In front ofa committee, the student will place in context and reviewhis/her Internship experience with the committee members.If the committee determines that the Internshiprequirements designated at any previous time have notbeen met, they may require that the student doesadditional work to fulfill these requirements. For example,the committee could require the student to complete anadditional literature review, relevant to the Internship, or toback-up his/her report with data.Students who demonstrate that they have achieved theobjectives of the program at an acceptable standard in thecomprehensive assessment will have the notation RE(réussi; passed) entered on their transcript. Students whodo not attain the objectives will be informed of what islacking in their work and be allowed to re-submit theassessment, either in the current session if time permits, orin a subsequent semester.Graduate ProfileStudents graduating from the program will:• Be able to express themselves logically and concisely inwritten and oral formats in both English and French.• Demonstrate basic quantitative and technology abilitiesrelevant to advertising, marketing and management(computer use, e-mail, web searching, system software,Excel, Word, Desktop publishing, Web publishing)• Be able to develop a well-structured and well-integratedmarketing plan and an international marketing strategyappropriate to a variety of environments94
