general responsibility for all valid educational and training ser· vices in the College region that are not the responsibility of the School Districts that participate in the College operation. Decenttallzadon Northwest Community College is committed, wherever it is financially and physically feasible, to decentralize educational and training services so that the opportunities for education and training are equitably shared- by residents of the region. The College believes that access to education should be based on needs of residents and not their geographical location. Provlacllll ResponslbiUty Northwest Community College's primary concern is with serving the needs of residents in its region. However, the College recognizes that, as part of the provincia( educational system, it bas a responsibility wherever possible to serve special needs of residents outside the College region. AuesiiQeat of Neecb Northwest Community ColJege recognizes that an im· portant function of its operation is to determine and assess the educational and training needs in its region. To this end, the College actively seeks input from community organizations and individual residents; it is especially responsive to recommendations made by advisory committees established by the College. RelatlonabJp with other Orgaalzadont When deemed appropriate, Northwest Community College cooperates with other educational and training organizations, both within the region and outside the region, in order that the best services possible might be provided for the people in the region. Quality Northwest Community College strives for excellence in all the services it provides and does not sacrifice quality for expediency. Presentadon of Services Northwest Community College is committed to development of delivery systems that take educational and training services to the peopl~ where they live and work. When considering the delivery systems to be used the College is concerned not only with cost effectiveness but also with the quality of instruction, particularly as quality is related to student-instructor contact. Cldzenshlp Northwest Community College recognizes that an im· portant objective is to provide people with the capability to function within and relate to the principal social in· stitutions such as government and the law. The College recognizes its responsibility to aid in the development of citizens who can participate fully and effectively in society in general and in their individual communities. Disadvantaged People Northwest Community College recognizes that special attention should be given to the educational and training needs of working people, native people, and women, as well as to other segments of society that historically have been dis.advantaged with respect to enjoying full access to educational and training opportunities. Governance of College The governance and operation of Northwest Community College reflects the legitimate concerns of all elements within the College and in the communities served by the College. AccountablUty Northwest Community College recognizes that it is a public institution utilizing public money for its operation, and that therefore it must be accountable to the public in everything it does. To this end the operations of the College are open to public scrutiny. To improve ac· countability, the College recognizes its responsibility to ensure that proper evaluation takes place of everything it does and that self-renewal is an ongoing obligation.

Students will, on submission of a signed request and payment of the appropriate fee, have the right to receive transcripts of their own academic record. Such a right will not apply to students in debt to the College but such students will still have the right to inspect and review their records. Information on students may be disclosed without consent of the student to designated CoiJege officials deemed to have legitimate educational interest. The following information is considered public information and may be released without restriction: i) Name ii) Period of Registration iii) Program iv) Certificates, diplomas, etc. awarded.

Information will be released to agencies or employers that are on record at the College as having sponsored tbe student. Necessary information may be released without student consent in an emergency, if the knowledge of that information is required to protect the health or safety of the student or other persons. Other than in the above situations, information on students will be released to. third parties only at the written request of the student, or where the student has signed an agreement with a third party, one of the conditions of which is access to his record (e.g. in financial aid). This restriction applies to requests from parents, spouses, credit bureaus, police, etc. No partial transcripts of a record will be issued. The College will not normally provide students or third parties with copies of other documents on file, e.g. transcripts from other institutions. Appeal Any student who feels that a decision given to him or her from the College may not be just, or that a grade received does not reflect their actual achievement shall have the right to appeal that decision. Students who find themselves in this position should first endeavour to diScuss the matter thoroughly with the instructor or staff member involved. If a satisfactory understanding cannot be reached at that level they may take their concerns to the Chief Instructor or Head of the program or department. Further information on appeal procedures may be obtained from the Student Services office. 7 Student Services Counselling Services Bert Seinen Frances Sabine The College also has an advisory committee for the Disabled which has organized local interest groups in many communities of the College Region. Those who would like to participate may call their local College Centre for more information. Bookstore The Bookstore is located on the ground floor of the Cafeteria building adjacent to the student Residence Offices, the student lounge and the dormitories. The Bookstore sells textbooks and course materials for various College courses and programs, general interest books and magazines, stationery and school supplies, and some novelty items. The Bookstore operates as a mail drop-off point and stamps are available. Each College regional centre also sells the textbooks and course materials relevant to the courses in the area.

Students with disabilities As part of its "open door" policy the College en· deavours to make all of its programs available to persons who may have physical disabilities. Because of the College's limited experience in this area it welcomes inquiries and comments from those who have disabilities and who would like to attend College Programs. Prospective disabled students are urged to contact the Counselling Office of the College. 8 The campus first aid station is located just south of the Vocational building. It is open from 8:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. weekdays.

Students are encouraged to ensure that they will have adequate medical insurance during their stay at the College. Housing Dormitories Dormitory space is available on campus for 240 students. Most rooms are designed for double occupancy. Each student has a desk, dresser, bed and closet. There are six two-storey dormitories; each floor bas a washroom and showers, a lounge, a coin-operated washer and dryer and a pay telephone. Meals are available from the Cafeteria. Most linen is provided, but students should provide their own towels, facecloths , soap, laundry detergent, etc. Reservations are advised. Students can receive room assignments from the Residence Office on the main floor of the Cafeteria Building. This office is open each day at various hours up to 10:00 p.m. The charge for residence for the 1981·82 academic year will be $60.00 per month for a shared room (double) and $100.00 per month for a single room if available. The availability of single rooms is determined by the demand for residence accommodation and varies throughout the year. Students who feel strongly about the need for this amount of privacy are advised to seek accommodation off campus as single rooms are seldom available during the winter months. Residence fees are due and payable on or before the A SSO.OO security deposit is required at the time of admission to residence and is refundable after completing the.process of checking out of residence. first day of each month. Meals are available seven days a week in the College Cafeteria. Students pay for their meals at the reasonable College Cafeteria prices.

Students who wish to, may prepay their meals by purchasing a face value meal ticket in any amount desired. a 10% discount is offered to students purchasing meal tickets with a value of $100.00 or more at one time. No refund can be made for lost or destroyed meal tickets. Rental Accommocbdon If you are a student with dependants you are advised that no accommodation is available on campus and you should locate your own accommodation in Terrace. Student Services is developing a list of available ac· commodation. Costs in Terrace range from S200 · S500 per month plus utilities. Recreation Facilities The College has a steadily growing list of recreational facilities. In addition to our regulation Soccer I Football field and jogging track we have been able to develop for the Summer of 1981 a Softball field and recreation centre. Located in the northwest corner of the Shops Building, the Physical Recreation Centre will contain two Racquetball courts, an exercise room with a Universal Gym and other weight and exercise equipment, a sauna, a whirlpool, showers, and a lounge. Many of the recreational activities that take place during the year depend heavily on student participation in organization and administration. Students are encouraged to share their experience and expertise in these areas and are invited to come forward with their suggestions for recreational programs and events. Interested students should contact the Residence and Recreation Co· ordinator or the Student Association at 635-6511 . Public Transportation Public transportation is available in Terrace from Monday to Saturday. Buses provide half-hourly service in the morning and afternoon. During the day and on Friday evenings the service is once each hour. ~ - fJ 9 Learning Resources Centre The learning reso\)rce centre is growing very rapidly to develop an up-to-date multi-media collection of both print and non-print resource materials to support the teaching and learning at the College. There are over 14,000 books, 350 periodicals, plus videotapes, slides, films and film-strips, audio tapes and cassettes, to meet your study or research needs for information. At present, the majority of resource materials are kept at the Terrace centre. However, we are expanding the collection to all other centres in the near future. A microfiche catalogue of the Terrace collection is available in all centres so that all students can check library holdings and borrow materials from the Terrace Centre. In addition to our.own collection, we also have the microfiche copy of the British Columbia Union catalogue which includes most books and serials in all universities and colleges in British Columbia. This means that if you do not find the book you need in the Northwest College catalogue, we can use inter-library loan service to borrow books for you from other universities and colleges. There are over half a million volumes of books and other materials listed in the catalogue which we can borrow to supplement our own collection. Library tours and orientation are also available at the LRC, all staff will be very glad to assist you whenever you need help. Student Association Message The Student Association of Northwest Community College normally elects a Students' Council during the first month of the academic year, that is late September or early October. However, due to the wide variety of Vocational, Academic and Continuing Education programes offered and their varying respective time requirements. Students are constantly completing or enrolling throughout the academic year. For this reason , by-elections may be held to fill vacant positions within the Council and thus ensure a representative studertt government at all times. The Students' Council consists of five elected positions : President, Vice-president, Treasurer, Secretary and Sports Coordinator. The bulk of the Students' Council, however, is made up of Class Representativesone from each class. These representatives are elected by their respective classes and without them there would be no effective student voice. The role of the Class Rep is all important in the struggle to clarify the rights and the in· terests of the students. But remember, those students who make up the Council cannot be expected to act successfully as an isolated group. They are the voice of the student body and therefore need the support of each and every students. AU full-time students pay membership fees upon registration, so make that money work for you. The 10 Students' Association has a shining new office located in the Student Lounge, so drop in and voice your opinion. Nomination forms for elected positions must be signed by the nominee and two other students and are available from the Students' Association returning officer. These positions are very educational. Our recreation activities include hockey, swimming, volleyball, badminton, skating and even skiing. Although the College boasts no gymnasium of its own, arrangements for gym-time have been made with other schools, and transportation to and from the campus is supplied. The Students Association also sponsors dances, beer nights and outdoor facilities. However, these activities can thrive only with enthusiastic support and cooperation from everyone - . students and staff included. Students in general, don't have a lot of time to share, and studying leaves little time for leisure or pleasure, but if everybody chips in just a little, then everybody can gain a whole lot.

Alberta B Pressure, Millwright T.Q. Lawrence Burkett - DPW Certificate No. 3 General Information Requirements for Admission Welding is an industrial art in a highly competitive field. It requires constant physical co-ordination of arms, hands, eye and brain. The welder develops manipulative skills through manual training. A graduate of this program will have gained sufficient practical experience and related theory to find employment in most welding fields. The welding trade is universal in its application. Construction welding appeals to certain men due to the variety of work locations, while other welders prefer to remain in the industrial centres, where employment opportunities occur in practically every mechanical or metal trade. As the Module "C" has been set up to be a self-study, self-paced program, applicants must have a -minimum of Grade 10 or BTSD Level Ill, although it would be to their advantage, not only on the course but also in securing employment, to have completed Grade 12 on an Industrial Program. Due to technological development, welding equip· ment and techniques are constantly changing, thus a welder, though employed, should constantly strive to update his skills. General Welding will be following the Provincial Outline closely. At the present time the "C" Module Outline is complete and will be taught beginning in September. The self-paced Module "C" will take ap· proximately eight months for the average student to complete.

Frank Woodward- Instructor's Diploma (U.B.C. ), C.E.T., M.I.P.R.E . Program Objective The purpose of this program ~ to provide students, who have a desire for, and are motivated towards learning a challenging and rewarding career in Electronics. The successful student will have an opportunity to gain employment in one of the following areas of the Electronics field : Electronic Communications Black and White and Colour TV Servicing Radio, Audio Electronics Industrial Electronics Digital Electronics Microcomputer I Microprocessors Video Tape Servicing Coune Content The 10 month Provincial Course Outline consists of: 1. D.C. AI C Theory 2. Semi·Conductor Devices 3. Electronic Circuits 4. Basic A.M. Radio 5. Digital Techniques 6. MPU 6800 Microprocessors 7. Communication Systems 8. Narrow Band P.M. VHF Systems 9. ,Antennas and Transmission Lines 10. Microwave 11. Home Entertainment Systems 12. CRTs Set Up Techniques, Electronic Tuners, IF Sweep Techniques, Video, Time Base Circuits 13. Introduction to VTR Systems and Adjustments Method The method adopted for this full-time ten-month program consists of a natural progression towards technical knowledge and applied skills. The student is taught the Basics of Electrical and Electronics Theory in the first 26 weeks of the course, which is designed to provide the student with confidence to handle laboratory experiments in: DC Theory AC Theory Tube Theory Transistor and Semiconductor Theory Electronic Circuit Fundamentals Digital Electronic Techniques Microprocessors, Programming and Interfacing Techniques Also providing lectures and practical "Hand On" jobs. 48 Following successful completion of the Basic Electronics course, (for those students who have maintained a minimum average of 70 percent on all tests) the student has the opportunity to continue in the programs. Over the next 16 weeks, the student will receive training in: Stereo, Colour TV, Video Systems Servicing techniques, Telecommunications, Systems Maintenance by instructional demonst~ations, lectures and practical "Hand On" experience. Concept Over the last two decades, following the development of the digital computer, there has been a rapid growth in the Electronics industry. As a result of this growth, many new applications of digital circuits have been designed for communications, colour TV circuits, remote systems, data processing and many other electronic systems. (All options include further training in "Digital Techniques"). These developments have created a need for specialized technicians who have not only a flair for Electronics Service Work, but who also have a sound knowledge of fundamentals in order to keep pace with new developments. This course was designed to fill this need and is geared towards those students who have no prior knowledge of Electi:onics. This course is also intended for those Technicians who have some knowledge and I or experience in Electronics , but desire further training within a specific area. The Philosophy behind the optional portion of the course emphasized, for the student, the development of knowledge , technical initiative, imagination and the ability to communicate the results of his I her work to others. To this end, the optional portion of the course is conducted on a tutorial system. The number of lectures are kept to a minimum and the student is given freedom to develop his practical ability through his own efforts and I or through the efforts of the instructional staff. Starting Dates Starting dates for the course are January and September. Length of Program 10 months. Requirements lor Admission Grade 12 (Grade 11 graduates will be considered by the Instructor) including Math 12, Physics and English.

Auditors ordinarily do not write examinations nor hand in class assignments but may voluntarily participate in all aspects of the course. Record of courses audited is made on a stud~nt's permanent record. A student may change from Audit to Credit or Credit to Audit status only before the last date for official withdrawal from courses. Refunds A complete refund of fees is made only when a course or program is cancelled. Scale of Wlthchawal Refund• Withdrawal within two weeks after commencement of classes - 80 percent refund. (b) Withdrawal within four weeks after commencement of classes - 50 percent refund. (c) Withdrawal more than four weeks after commencement of classes - No refund. Coune Cbaage, Wfthdnwals A student wishing to add, drop or change a course must complete the necessary forms available from the Registrar. Changes in programs must be made by the dates specified for these changes in this calendar. A student may withdraw from any course by filing a withdrawal form with the office of the Registrar. After the specified date, withdrawals will be permitted only under exceptional circumstances, and only with the approval of the instructor. Students who drop a course without officially withdrawing will receive a final grade of F. ResponslbiUtles of the Studeat The accuracy and completeness of registration documents is the responsibility of the student. A student will not receive credit for courses for which she I he is not officially registered. Academic Advlllag Prior to registration prospective students are en· couraged to discuss questions about courses and programs with the instructors or counsellors. Coordinators in each area have information on programs 59 available at most institutions in B.C. and can make an appointment with a counsellor. Students are strongly advised to make themselves aware of the requirements of the institutions to which they wish to transfer. The final responsibility for the selection of courses and programs rests with the student. Statement of Grades A student will receive his grade statement by mail as soon as possible after the end of il. semester. Statements of Grades are mailed to the home address unless the Registrar is advised otherwise. No statement of grades, diploma or certificate will be issued until the student has cleared up all obligations to the College in the way of fees, overdue library books, or outstanding fines. Transcripts of Permanent Record. Northwest Community College regards the individual's record as a personal and private .document. Therefore, no transcripts are released without the written authorization of the individual concerned. Official transcripts which bear the signature and seal of the Registrar are sent only upon th~ student's written request to employers, educational institutions, and other authorized agencies. One official transcript will be sent by the College free of charge for each semester attended. For additional copies, a $1.00 fee will be charged for the first copy and SO cents for each additional copy ordered at the same time. Appeals (See General Information Section). Grades For academic courses a letter system is used to record achievement of students. (Each grade is assigned a numerical weight or grade point which is used to determine the grade point average.) Letter Numerical Interpretation Grade Equivalent Outstanding Achievement A 4.0 B+ B C+ c 3.5 3.0 2.5 Above average achievement 2.0 Average achievement p 1.0 F 0.0 Below average achievement Failure - no credit Incomplete grade Withdrawal c- I w t.s Incomplete Grade An incomplete grade signifies that a portion of required course work has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time period due to unforeseen, but fully justified reasons and that there · is still a p~ssibllity of earning ·credit. It is the responsibility of the student to bring pertinent information to the instructor and to reach agreement on the means by which the remaining course requirement will be satisfied. A final grade is assigned when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated. An incomplete must be made up within one semester immediately following the end of the semester in which it is assigned. Failure to complete the assigned work will result in an incomplete being counted as equivalent to an F for grade point computation. Any extension of the one semester limit must receive prior approval of the Head of Academic Studies. Grade Point Average. Grade points are established by multiplying the credit hours of the course by the numerical equivalent of the letter grade. The grade point average for the year is obtained by dividing the total number of grade points by the total number of credit hours. Advance Placement Advanced placement to a more advanced level of a sequence of courses in a subject area may be granted on admission as a result of an applicant's previous work. Although a student may be granted exemption from the usual pre-requisite course as a result of advanced placement, credit may or may not be granted for the prerequisite course. Transfer Credit for students previously enrolled In another Post-Secondary Institution. In general, any student who has begun a degree program at a university and who expects to obtain transfer credit at a university for Northwest Community College courses must arrange his program in consultation with the appropriate university officials before applying to Northwest Community College in order to obtain the desired university credits. Such students are asked to submit copies of relevant correspondence with the ap· plication form in order to obtain assistance in ' selecting courses which will fulfill their desired educational objectives.

"" At Po Pr Hd Po u Pm Soci 200 (31 Anthropology Anthropology is the study of humans, emphasizing a cross-cultural and comparative approach. The discipline attempts to trace the physical evolution of humankind, and the historical development of human societies; to study cultural patterns and traits as they occur in diverse societies, and to provide in-depth studies of specific cultures. Today, many people are questioning our way of life and looking for ways to change it. As a result, they are looking for alternative solutions to our problems. Anthropology is a way of critically analyzing our lifestyle and seeing possible changes for our society by comparing it with others. A look at the agricultural practices of the Tsembaga Maring of New Guinea might help us be more efficient in our own food production systems. A study of the architecture and organization of a Pueblo village may help us deal with the modem problems of urbanization. Finally, a review of the belief in gods and ghosts in the mountains of Tibet may help clarify the pros and cons of becoming more or less religious. At Northwest Community College, credit and noncredit courses will attempt to acquaint students with what anthropologists do and with what they have discovered about other societies and our own. Anthropology 101-3: Introduction to Physical An't hropology and Archaeology. A general introduction to human biological and cullural history.

The origin of life from complex organic molecules far back in the earth's history, the laws which govern our "spaceship earth" and the origins of mankind are all part of the science of biology. The fascinating societies of termites, the physiology and structure of the giant forest trees and the intricacy of DNA are other topics of current interest in biology. At Northwest Community College we offer general courses on various relevant topics of biology and a basic laboratory biology course suitable as a first year course for majors in life sciences and as a lab science course for humanities or social science majors.

It touches our lives continually, from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. It concerns itself (along with other sciences) with the nature of matter and the chemical changes it undergoes. This is important not only for the buyer asking how and from what the substance is made and what its properties are, but for the discarder who might ponder what will become of the throw away and how it will affect the environment. Chemistry consists of two courses at Northwest Community College. Firstly, there is an introductory course for those who never did it before or have forgotten much of what they did. (Students who would like an insight into the world of chemistry are especially welcome). Secondly, there is a university transferable course for those who seek credit at a first year level. Both courses include a generous amount of lab time. Norman J. Webster · B.Sc. (Hons) Wales M.Sc.

Specifically, we aim at: The enjoyment of reading. Those who have not learned to read with enjoyment are deprived not only of one of life's greatest pleasures, but also of a strong bulwark against boredom and loneliness. Understanding through literature. Life presents us with problems: social, political, mdral, emotional . Other men and women have had similar problems, and have put into words the record of their struggles and the particular solutions they found. The understanding to be gained from reading is particularly important in an era whose vision of reality and values are dominated by the fleeting and disconnected images of TV. Competence in the use of language. In writing, speaking and thinking, our competence with language is exercised actively. Language is like a horse in this respect. A horse will not respond if it is treated like a lump of inert matter, to be shoved, kicked, or dragged along the road. The writer is only frustrated when he or she treats language as a dead, unresponsive apparatus. The better the writer gets to know it, the more it will become his partner, or ally, in expressing what he has to say. Integrity. The writer gradually comes to a sense of what she or he particularly has to say, and no longer thinks it adequate just to reproduce the unexamined ideas of others. Emily Carr has put this notion of integrity into pungent language: Be careful that you do not write anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul. You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing. But don't take what someone else has made sure of and pretend that it's you yourself that have made sure of it, till it's yours absolutely by conviction.

Similarities in the aspirations of a11 people become more evident as we examine the various patterns of communication, humanity's attempts to clearly transfer an idea from one mind to another. To the individual, knowledge of another language brings confidence and the ability to form Original lm· pressions of literature, political goals and social ideals, not impressions interpreted by others, analysed to suit popular tastes and dished out in the same old bowl. Direct communication facilitates a better understanding of the present pluralistic, yet interdependent world. Familiarity with another language system also increases awareness of the native tongue as an asset, its nuances and its vastness, leading the way to better personal ex· pression and a deeper appreciation of the vernacular.

A coming together of events only once, that gives character to a place. Geographers are concerned with understanding why a place is the way it is - and how that place gains its character- and when did these characteristics come into being. Our basic tool is the map. A map illustrates interaction over time and over space. It shows signs that contribute to the character of a place; and give possible clues as to the future. An understanding of geography hones your ap· preciation of environment. It helps one be aware of what is going on. And, it is an enjoyable experience in terms of learning. At Northwest Community College a variety of Geography courses are available. They are wide ranging as to content in order to encourage inquiry. AU of the courses have university transferability. Lectures, field trips, readings and discussions constitute the core of all courses. There are no pre-requisites for enrolment, other than an inquiring mind.

If it is to have any meaning at aU , it must be seen primarily as a means for becoming aware of ourselves in the current socio-political environment. Such a view underlines the need for a historical consciousness of the past as a necessary stage towards the present and also towards the realization of a better society in the future. History as a social science is the study of the past as a process of continuity and change with man in the centre acting on the basis of objective conditions but at the same time making his own history. We reject digging isolated tunnels into the past which are classified as diplomatic, economic or social history. Of what use are partial aspects when human behaviour is a total reality? It is one of the greatest challenges to find out what kind of questions should be asked to obtain meaningful explanations and to uncover realities behind appearances. We consequently attempt to integrate into the study of facts various theories and models about them and to focus attention on the interrelation of modes of production and structures of society, economic development, social classes and the nature of their relations as well as their impact on decision making. The courses are open to everybody and are designed to allow a maximum of discussion, questions and various forms of personal contributions.

Through the language people attempt to describe observed phenomena and to process this information in an attempt to answer questions.

(Concordia ) What are Women'• Studlea? Women's Studies 102-3: Women In Other Countrlea See Women's Studies 106-3. Women's Studies are female perspectives, on all traditional (male) disciplines. Women's Studies focuses on women's "herstory", their work-paid and unpaid, women's psychology, their socialization and social roles, their creativity and their political ideas and activities. Women's Studies examines the impact of religion, institutions, and language on the female psyche. Women's Studies provides the theoretical construc t upon which many current issues are discussed. Women's Studlea 104-3: Post·lndusttlal Soclellea A continuation of Women's Studies 101 with emphasis on women in Post-Industrial societies. (J, 0, 0) Who takes Women's Studies? Women's Studies 105-3: Women in Canada Everyone who is interested in critically analyzing the question of "male and female" in our society, takes Women's Studies. This course will examine the status and role of women in Canadian society. It will trace the development of sex role divisions in the family and other institutions and examine the influence of education, media, etc., on the development and reinforcement of female role models. WUI Women's Studies get me a job? While Women's Studies per se will probably not get you a job, they will help you to keep one. You will better understand who you are, why you 're doing what you're doing and how to cope with sexism in our society. For men, Women's Studies will provide a basis for understanding women in the 1980's. Women's Studies Advisory Commlctee (W.S.A.C.) The W.S.A.C. is composed of women from various women's groups throughout the college region. This committee was instrumental in setting up the Women's Studies program at Northwest Community College and continues to act as an advisory committee to the College Council and the Women's Studies Program. ProgJams The Women's Studies prugram is divided into two categories: university transfer co urses and community education courses. The community education courses are also divided into two basic areas: practical 'how to' courses, i.e. basic automobile repairs, basic carpentry, etc. and psychological co urses, i.e. assertiveness training and consciousness raising. Watch the local C.E.S. calendars and local newspapers for more information regarding these courses.

The purpose of the Northwest and Environmental Studies Program is to provide a means of coordinating the resources of faculty, students and the community into both structured and non-structured educational programs. It is believed this approach will contribute to a better understanding of crucial problem areas and Jocal interests often excluded from the formal academic disciplines. The Northwest and Environmental Studies program offers the means of linking disciplines and routine courses of formal study to some of the realities and issues of the Northwest region. The focus of this program is two·fold: environmental and regional. First, in terms of philosophical orientation, the program will centre on the environment; both the natural environment (human to nature relationships) and the social environment (human to human relationships). This interdisciplinary orientation should aid understanding some of the most critical problems facing both the individual and society today. Second, the program will be particularly concerned with Northwestern British Columbia as a distinct region within the province. The nature, identity, unique features and special problems of the region will receive considerable attention and emphasis. In this way, Northwest Community College can contribute its resources in researching, documenting and making accessible, through the educational process, the cultural and natural and social uniqueness of the region. • Presently, the Northwest and Environmental Studies Program is comprised of three separate components: The Certificate I University Transfer Component; The Career Development Component; and The Community Information Component. The Certificate/University Transfer Component This component is designed so that by acruing a total of 30 college credit hours, through selected courses and I or workshops, a person will earn a College Certificate in Northwest and Environmental Studies. In ad· dition, the participant in this program will have earned a number of transferable first and second year academic courses. All participants seeking certification will be required to take both Northwest Studies 101 and Environmental Studies 101. Those selecting the Social Science Emphasis will be encouraged to participate in Northwest Studies 102 and those specializing in the Natural Science Emphasis should consider taking Environmental Studies 102. Everyone participating in the program is required to take English 101 I 102 (or equivalent). Mathematics 130 1 131 (or equivalent) is highly recommended. College Credit Courses Northwe1t Studies 101-3: Northwest B.C. Environmental Studies 101·3: Environment and Society This course is designed to provide a basic introduction to the Northwest as a distinct region of British Columbia and Canada. The course will focus on the structure of society and government in the Northwest, as well as on existing power relationships and sources ofconflict in the region. Topics to be covered include aboriginal culture, European settlement, industrial development in the Northwest and relationships with British Columbia, Canada, and the world at large. (3, 0, 0) This course will focus on environmental problems and issues at both the worldwide and local levels. Emphasis will be on understanding the social relations and structures which cause environmental problems. In addition, selected topics of environmental management (such as impact assessment, social evaluation of environmental stress, measures of environmental quality, and questions of natural resource management) will be examined in a seminar situation.

Environmental Studies 102-3: Introducdon Environmental Research Methods The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to various research research methods used by social scientists (e.g. archival, census, interview, statistical, etc.). The participant will be required to carry out a major piece of research dealing with the Northwest region and present results in seminar. Students will also be encouraged to publish their research in a regional journal. (3, 0, 0) In this course, participants will be introduced to a variety of metho.ds for evaluating conditions . and characteristics of the natural environment (e.g., aerial photo and map interpretation, soil testing, air and water quality testing , habitat evaluation, field geology, etc.).

Fish Culture Northwest College may offer a first year certificate program in fish culture technology in the near future, if there is sufficient interest and employment opportunity in the Northwest region. This program will consist of a selection of university transfer courses (listed above) and several college credit courses dealing specifically with fish biology, aqua-culture techniques and fisheries rna· nagement. It is anticipated that this program component would be transferable to the B.C.I.T. and Malaspina College fish culture programs. WUderness GuidJng SldUs Northwest Community College, in cooperation with the Western Guide and Outfitters Association (W.G.O.A.), has begun a summer training program to provide basic and upgrading training for those persons presently employed or anticipating employment in the wilderness guiding business. Dr. David Hatler, of Smithers, is currently providing instruction, along with the help of various guest experts, in a variety of outdoor guiding skills. For more information and referral contact the program coordinator at 847·4461. The Regional Information Component In cooperation with the Learning Resource Centre at the Terrace Campus, the Northwest and Environment Studies program will act as an information centre and referral service for people requiring in· formation about the natural and social environment of Northwestern B.C. Presently there is a well-developed archival resource called the Information Bank. The purpose of this archive is to collect, preserve, organize and make available in· formation about the northwest B.C.: its lands, peoples, communities and industries. Materials include xeroxes and microfilms of historical documents, historical photos, maps. and taped interviews of "oldtimers". Expansion in the photographic archive and modern socio-economic data is presently under way. In addition a mini-museum display of geological specimens and natural history materials will be established soon. Everyone in the region can gain access to this resource by checking the In· formation Bank file in their local college centre, by calling the L.R.C. in Terrace or by contacting the program coordinator. In the future, we hope to establish a summer field school attached to the Northwest and Environmental Studies Program. This field school would be in· terdisciplinary and would include such subjects as an· thropology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, geography, geology, and wilderness skills. In addition, to the above activities and courses, workshops, and seminars can and will be organized through this program. These will be held wherever people want them and can concern just about any issue important to the people of Northwest B.C. 81 Workers Education Program The Workers Education Program is designed to serve the needs of the trade union organizations and workers in general. The program offers material useful to those engaged in all aspects of practical trade union work: bargaining, grievance procedures, steward training, etc. The program also provides unorganized workers interested in trade unionism with an introduction to labour rights. The program further provides courses which will develop an understanding of the economic, social, and political environment in which trade unions operate. The Workers Education Program runs from September until May and is offered throughout the college region no prerequisites other than interest is needed for any W.E.P. course. John Jensen- John has 25 years of active involvement of the trade union movement with theoretical and practical skills in a number of areas of interest to workers.

For many other people the programs they need or would like to take have traditionally not been available in the Northwest. Distance Education is correspondence education in the broadest sense of the word. Programs are designed for guided independant study based on the use of print and non-print learning materials. In many cases the student is assisted by a telephone tutor to whom questions can be directed. N.W.C.C. is working cooperatively with the Knowledge Network of the West (KNOW) to bring a wide range of credit and non-credit programs to communities throughout the Northwest. These programs will be available on cablevision in Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat. In Houston, Smithers and Hazelton these programs will be available at the College Centre. Other communities may access this service in 1981-82. For information 011 this service and the programs that are offered contact the C.E.S. Regional Coordinator nearest to you or call Gary Karlsen, Education Coordinator at 6356511 (Terrace). Health Programs In 1975 a Health Advisory Committee to the College was formed to advise the college on the continuing education needs of health workers in the northwest region. In 1980 the mandate of this committee was expanded to advise the college on the continuing education needs of health and human service workers in the northwest region. This committee also advises on the provision of general interest health care programs for the public. The college employs a Program Coordinator who works closely with this committee to develop programs throughout the college region as needs demand. Input for these programs can be made through your local C.E.S. Coordinator or by calling Mrs. Emily Rozee, Health Programs Coordinator at 635-6511, (Terrace). International Year of Disabled Persons The United Nations has declared 1981 as the International Year of the Disabled Persons. N.W.C.C. has worked in the past to make its facilities and programs accessible to disabled persons. This effort has resulted in the formation of an advisory Committee for the Disabled chaired by David Gellately. For information about the programs and services N.W.C.C. can provide for the disabled persons, please contact the college centre nearest you or the Counselling Department of N.W.C.C. at 6356511 in Terrace. ucontinuing Education is a part of life" 84 Notes 85 Index Academic Advising . . . .......................... . 59 Academic Programs .. . ..... . .. . ......... .. . . ... 58-82 General Information .. . .. . .. . ..... . ... . . . ..... 58-60 Transfer Guide .............. . ............... 61-62 Course Descriptions ....... ... .... .... ........ 63-82 Special Programs . . ........................... 79-82 Women's Studies ... . .... . . ... ...... . ..... .. . . .. 79 Northwest and Environmental Studies . .... . ... .... 80 Workers Education Program . . . ........ . ......... 82 Admission Requirements Academic Division ........ ... ................... 58 Career Programs (see individual Program) Trades Training (see individual Program) Administrative Staff ................................ 3 Adult Basic Education . . . . . . . . . . ................. 19 Basic Employment Skills Training . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Basic Training for Skills Development . . . ... . . .... . 19 College Preparatory . . ..............
