credit courses

Taking Credit Courses? Read on: Get Credits for your UNBC Degree. Certain Continuing Studies courses are clearly designated as earning academic credit at UNBC. Credit earned in this manner is unspecified and is treated as elective credit hours. University admission requirements do not apply to these courses, and students are advised that they will be registered for them on a credit basis unless they direct otherwise at the time of registration. Whether taken for credit or not-for-credit, the content and requirements of these courses are the same. Graduate students are reminded that, as with all other academic credits, credits earned in this manner may not be applied to their degree programs without the express permission of their Supervisory Committee and approval from the Dean of Graduate Programs.

What Grading System is Used for Credit Courses? Continuing Studies for-credit courses will usually follow either a Pass/Fail or Alpha grade scheme. In special circumstances (e.g. some specialty certification programs such as Wildlife Danger Tree) there may be a unique grading system in place.

What Happens if I Fail? No sweat! Failing grades are not recorded for students who do not receive a passing grade for any Continuing Studies for-credit course. Neither unofficial nor official UNBC transcripts will indicate the failing grade.

I’m Not Happy with my Grade. How Do I Appeal? The formal academic appeals procedures at UNBC do not apply to Continuing Studies for-credit courses. Students who have specific questions regarding their academic work should contact the course instructor. General questions should be directed to Continuing Studies.

Credit courses are marked with:. C . Courses waiting for final credit approval are marked with : P

How do I get the credits taken with Continuing Studies on my academic record? On successful completion of a for-credit course, any student wishing to transfer credits to their UNBC academic degree record must complete a “Continuing Studies Credit Request” form. The form is available from UNBC Continuing Studies. The completed form will be forwarded to the UNBC Registrar’s Office and the student’s record will automatically be updated with the course information, including final grade and credit hours awarded. There is no charge to complete this transfer. Students who require official transcripts of academic credits must make their requests through the UNBC Office of the Registrar. There is a fee for official transcripts.

How do I request a copy of my transcript? Any student interested in receiving an unofficial transcript showing their academic standing for any Continuing Studies courses completed, may request one with UNBC Continuing Studies. Unofficial transcripts may be obtained free of charge. UNBC degree students should transfer their academic credit (as above) then request an official transcript through the UNBC Registrar’s Office. Students not enrolled in any UNBC degree programs may request official transcripts through UNBC Continuing Studies by completing the Transcript Request Form. There is a fee for official transcripts.

Continuing Studies 2009 - 2010

Make sure you withdraw 10 calendar days before the course starts to get a full refund. Continuing Studies courses taken for credit are NOT subject to the academic add/drop date!

If you need to withdraw from a course, please notify Continuing Studies by telephone, email, fax or letter. Voice mail is not considered an adequate method of notification.

Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Music Education arts & culture

When schools face budget constraints, art education is often the first item struck from programming. It has been demonstrated time and time again the positive impact music education has on the overall leadership in academics and society. The disparity in access to music education places 85% of local children at a disadvantage in their learning. Exposure to music education should not be limited to students in specialized schools, urban centres, or the elite. This program is geared for the Classroom teacher who may or may not have music training, and provides tools to incorporate music into any classroom and school curricula. Though designed for elementary school teachers, those new to the teaching profession or who work with children in another capacity may find the program useful. C Foundations in Music

Education (XEDU 510-3) This course focuses on the role of music in elementary school learning. Listening to, appreciating and performing music is a multi-sensory event, using multiple areas of the brain responsible for such things as memory, motor control, timing and language. This course introduces ways that music can stimulate and increase childhood mental capacity through regular integration into school curriculum. Using techniques of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, participants in this course will learn how music education is best delivered by being able to teach across auditory, visual, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory senses to respond to a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique model of the world, learning goals and music experience.

(XEDU 514-3)

This course is designed to assist music teachers and practicing classroom teachers with an introduction to the theory and practice of meaningfully integrating music learning experiences throughout the curriculum (reading, writing, speaking, thinking and creating).

The voice is an instrument readily available to any elementary classroom. Basic music theory and concepts will be introduced, as well as techniques for solo and group vocal exercises in the classroom. Developing singing skills with children requires a confident teacher model, appropriate repertoire, and an ability to engage each child in the joy of singing. This course will explore ways in which the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s singing voice can be developed and fostered through solo, unison, and part-singing. It will give guidelines for selecting age-appropriate and culturally relevant repertoire and provide a context for the art of singing. The development of theory, score analysis, and conducting skills will allow participants to become more confident music makers.

Students will explore the philosophical, theoretical and practical foundations of incorporating music as a tool to learn in other curriculum areas including numeracy and literacy. Classroom activities will focus on developing musical skills and knowledge while meeting the requirements of the arts curriculum and other subject areas for the province of British Columbia.

Moving Up to Supervisor (XBUS 099)

Advanced Supervisory Skills (XBUS 082)

Organizations are running leaner and meaner than ever before. As a result, they are calling on managers to be cross-trained in functional areas beyond their original area of specialization. The new breed of manager must not only be able to lead and motivate, but he or she must also have the flexibility to interact in virtually all facets of the business. Supervisors also have to demonstrate their flexibility by being able to reconcile the sometimes clashing needs of front line staff and the needs of management to do more with less. This can be particularly difficult if some of the members of the team are former friends and peers.

Just Listen for a Change (XCOM 024)

The Up Side of Anger (XCOM 023)

Boundaries in the Workplace (XCOM 029)

This session focuses on one of the most misunderstood and underdeveloped skills of all: EMPATHY.

Anger is powerful force. When we find ourselves in its grips, our heart rate increases significantly, a fog comes over us and we usually find ourselves being highly reactive with little regard for the consequences. Later once we’ve cooled off, we often berate ourselves for our behaviour. The cycle continues and we rarely get to the root of it. Yet every angry expression is a tragic expression of an unmet need. In this session, participants will explore the needs at the root of all anger. They will then use a proven process that will equip them to transform this raw emotion into a healthy and generative force as opposed to toxic and destructive one.

Boundaries are the lines that create respectful territories and connections to each other. We can be respectfully independent and positively connected by boundary lines. Boundaries set up good neighbours, good teams, good relationships and positive interactions. Boundaries should be commonly understood and respected.

One of the most consistently recurring complaints in organizational settings is that people don’t feel heard. When people don’t feel heard, they typically up the ante, tension builds and problems just get bigger. In this interactive and experiential session, rudimentary habits are identified and replaced with proven effective ones. Participants will leave with concrete tools designed to facilitate genuine understanding between people. When put into practice the result is increased trust, goodwill and collegial respect in the workplace. “How we listen and what we say next determines the results.” Topics in this workshop include:

     

Conditioned thinking and language;

The nature of grievances; Overcoming blocks;



  

This course will provide each participant with an introduction to Google Earth through the process of building a project which will combine different sources of media into a single “KML” file. The topics covered will include: navigation, searching, measuring, use of the “oceans” layer, use of the “sky” view, project design, designing balloons, data capture, introduction to Keyhole Markup Language (KML), building and editing KML, data sources, data quality and sharing data.

Introduction to Google Maps (XCMP 004) Google Maps has become a phenomena few web developers can ignore. With the proliferation of maps on the web, the issues for geographic information and context are moving into the mainstream. Ride the wave of geographical and locational awareness! This course will introduce the developer to core geographic concepts, data quality issues and the Google Maps API. The topics covered will include: projections, geographic data, GIS tools, the Google Maps API, Markers, Overlays, XML, KML, Geocoding, Driving Directions. Note: Students in this course would find it helpful to know what Javascript is, and have some familiarity with HTML & CSS. Students without this will just have more to learn!

Health & Wellness

Certificate in Mental Health & Addictions health/wellness

In the last decade, there has been a significant growth in use of alcohol and drugs within Canada. Further, mental health and addictions is recognized as placing an increased burden on society and the health care system within BC, resulting in increased demands and levels of complexity for those working in the field. This program is geared toward the individuals working in the field of mental health and addictions, who may or may not have training in the fields of nursing, social work or psychology, and will provide them with the basic skills and resources required to become more effective within this field. The combination of the five courses that are offered as part of the certificate are designed to support the recommendations that are outlined by the provincial government in the area of training for mental health and addictions. All components will be delivered with a focus on individuals currently working in the field. . . Courses may be taken as an individual course (barring pre-requisites), but all courses are required to be granted credit for the certificate in Mental Health and Addictions.

The Mental Health & Addictions Certificate courses are delivered via state-of-the-art video-conferencing technology to regional campuses throughout B.C. Typically, the course instructor will lead a cohort in Prince George, and link in students in the UNBC Fort St John, Quesnel and Terrace campuses, bringing training to regions where it would otherwise not be available. The capabilities of the video-conferencing rooms are such that after only a short time, students and instructor forget that they are not all in one classroom together. Regardless of whether there are PowerPoint presentations, videos, discussions, etc. everyone, whether in the local classroom or enrolled remotely, will be able to participate fully.

C Wildland Fire Safety .

(XWDT 120-1)

This two day training course provides information and technical procedures for assessing tree hazards and establishing appropriate safe work practices in situations where there is potential exposure from dangerous trees to workers involved in wildland fire fighting. It also provides information on habitat quality which can be used to retain some high-value wildlife trees where opportunities exist to assess both tree hazards and wildlife tree habitat value (e.g. in sustained action fires where there is sufficient time to assess wildlife tree habitat components). Fire crews involved in wildland fire fighting do not have the time to complete a detailed tree assessment to determine if trees that appear dangerous might actually be assessed as safe. Consequently, this course primarily focuses on worker safety and tree defects which are visually inspected and rated as having “high defect failure potential”. This certification is recognized by WorkSafe BC.

Silviculture Basic Forest Soils (XSIL 010) This course consists of one full day in the field identifying soil horizons, classifying humus forms, soil texturing, estimating coarse fragment content and identifying parent materials. By the end of the day, participants will understand how soil components interrelate and how such features determine the properties of soil.

natural resources

Participants in this workshop may already understand the significance of the forest soil – its dynamic nature and its role as the very foundation of the forest ecosystem. Inappropriate forest practices are often applied because of a poor understanding of general soil principles. Indeed, some soil disturbance may be beneficial to tree growth, but excessive disturbance leads to soil degradation. Soil degradation can hinder seedling survival and growth, and may reduce long-term site productivity. With an understanding of soil properties and processes, you will not only be able to predict the soil’s response to treatments, but also contribute to the correct management of our forests.

Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (XSIL 011)

Silviculture Surveys for Contract Administrators (XSIL 023)

Windthrow Management (XSIL 024)

In the field of silviculture surveys, the Ministry of Forests document “Stocking and Free Growing Survey Procedures Manual” is the reference on the subject. It has recently been revised and as a result operational procedures and contract documentation should be updated to take advantage of the flexibility it provides. Survey procedures have evolved over the years but the ‘baggage’ of outdated methods has often been dragged along, resulting in a loss of the streamlining that was intended in the update.

natural resources

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn the freedom available in the “Stocking and Free Growing Survey Procedures Manual”, and to update your contracts and procedures in a workshop format. Participants are asked to bring their survey documents, contracts and sample surveys to the workshop. You will leave with them marked up with revisions, suggestions and with a series of issues to take back to your managers for further discussion. Also highlighted will be the critical few data items among the dozens of moderately important items. These will be separated from the many non-essential and unnecessary data items using the philosophy “if you ask for it to be collected you will be paying for it, so keep the ‘baggage’ to a minimum”.

This course is intended for government, industry and consulting practitioners who design, implement, supervise or audit development plans, silviculture prescriptions, logging plans, harvesting and stand tending operations. Arborists and urban foresters dealing with forested parks, riparian buffers or greenways will also benefit. Course objectives are:



To review the concepts of professional reliance and best management practices in the context of windthrow assessment and management;



To introduce wind as a natural disturbance agent and review potential impacts of windthrow in natural, managed and urban forests;



To introduce the concepts necessary for assessing windthrow risk at the tree, stand and landscape levels;



To introduce the principles of designing harvesting and retention prescriptions with lower potential for wind damage;



To introduce tools for predicting tree and stand-level risk;



To review methods of windfirming retained trees and aggregates, and the effectiveness of these techniques;



To provide participants with an opportunity to assess windthrow probability and potential impacts in clearcuts, partial-cuts and riparian management areas, and to consider harvest design and windfirming treatments, in the field.

Soil Conservation Survey Accreditation Course . (XSIL 013) As a legal requirement under the Forest Practices Code, maximum limits for areas occupied by soil disturbance and access structures must be specified in prescriptions. The survey procedures and methodologies described in the Soil Conservation Survey Guidebook are used for assessing compliance with these limits. This three day course is specifically designed for forest personnel who will conduct formal soil disturbance surveys following timber harvesting or mechanical site preparation. Successful completion of this course will result in accreditation as a soil disturbance surveyor. As a standard practice Ministry of Forests requires compliance level surveys to be carried out by accredited surveyors.

How to Design Effective Sediment & erosion Control Plans (XSEC 010) This is a two day course on methods for erosion and sediment control on land disturbances that threaten air or water quality. The first day covers just the basics and may be taken as a stand-alone course. The second emphasizes a systematic approach to designing effective and costefficient sediment and erosion control plans. Effective installations are illustrated with case studies and product performance test results. Participants will learn how to avoid common installation mistakes. The class will develop a plan in a group exercise. Participants are encouraged to bring their own case study or project and problems for discussion in class.

Continuing Studies 2009 - 2010 Pro-D. Days

Programming from Whether you are a first time programmer or are looking at designing something more complex, participants will be able to do this using “Scratch” technology developed by MIT. Replacing typing code with a drag and drop approach, Scratch allows students to create animated stories, games and interactive presentations. Designed for novice programmers, Scratch programs can get more complex as the student becomes familiar with the approach.

Radical SUPER SCIENCE Robotics Robotics is a popular and effective way to cover a variety of topics within science, technology, engineering and mathematics in a fun and engaging way. Using MINDSTORMS, Lego activity packs developed by Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Academy, students learn to design, program and control fully-functional robot models. The low threshold, high ceiling nature of the software makes programming robots accessible to all levels, from ten year olds right up to university students.

Join one of our Super Science camps to explore a wide variety of traditional sciences. Through the use of hands on experiments and fun activities, such as chemical reactions in candy making, exploring the natural world around them, and geospatial exploration using GPS and GIS technologies, students will be exposed to a vast array of exciting, mind stimulating science concepts.

SUNY: (soo-nee) Those participating in one of the SUNY Day camps will enjoy a week on the beautiful UNBC Campus. Groups no larger than 12 students are guided on activities with team leaders. In addition to the time spent pursuing the science activities in the camps, students will spend time each day participating in physical activities. If the weather is nice, students will spend time in outdoor active learning, such as sand volleyball, going for a short hike through Forests for the World (right on our back door) as well as other outdoor activities. Students will also have time to use the facilities at the Northern Sports Centre to play soccer on the indoor field, run on the elevated track, play basketball and more.
