Level III General Options
Introduction
Several of the courses outlined for the General Options component did not lend
themselves easily to expression in terms of measurable objectives. The committee
members who developed these courses expressed concern that affective domain
objectives, such as appreciation, became lost in the attempt to phrase objectives in
measurable terms. The following objectives are intended to suggest minimum
content, and the instructors who use them should not feel bound to cover the
material at only that level. Newfoundland and Labrador Culture, Family Studies,
Personal Development, and Women's Studies are such examples. Students in these
courses can benefit immeasurably on many levels while covering the minimum
content listed. Group discussions, shared feelings, personal reflection, and critical
thought processes may not fit into evaluation standards, and yet may represent the
ultimate objectives of the courses. It is with this caveat that objectives are stated for
the following courses in general options.
No content changes occurred in this area. The former GO 3212 Consumer Studies,
GO 3113 Computer Studies, GO/CS 3216 Career Awareness, and GO/CS 3217
Personal Development were transferred to the newly developed Employability Skills
section. Course numbers have been changed to accommodate their removal.
General Options now include:
IG 3211 Newfoundland and Labrador Culture
IG 3112 Physical Education
IG 3113 Religions of the World
IG 3114 Canadian Issues
IG 3215 Family Studies
IG 3116 Women=s Studies
IG 3217 Contemporary History (20th Century World)
IG 3118 Individual Study Project
IG 3119 Canadian Law
IG 3120 Democracy
IG 3221 Human Geography
Note: Any courses done concurrent with or subsequent to ABE will be eligible
for credit if the course includes prescribed objectives and an evaluation
component leading to successful completion.
