SOC 207 Sociology of Education

Notes

  1. Successful completion of the academic requirements for any of the departmental honours plans "X" in the Faculty of Mathematics, whether leading to a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) or a Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) degree, will be accepted as a replacement for the math course requirements listed above provided that "X" is not a Mathematical Studies plan. All requirements specified in Table II must be completed, however, even if the departmental honours plan provides exemptions from any of those requirements. Students who elect this option will be designated by a plan label such as "Honours 'X'/Teaching" rather than "Honours Mathematics/Teaching" (Since 3B and 4B courses are not normally offered in the spring term, it will be difficult to satisfy this alternative.)
  2. The Bachelor of Education requirements are completed during an eight-month education study unit in the Faculty of Education at Queen's University in Kingston. This unit occurs in the fall and winter terms following completion of 3B.
  3. The selection of courses required for the BMath Teaching must include a second teaching subject in one of the following disciplines: biology, chemistry, computer science, or physics. Eight courses (four units) are required to qualify for a second teaching subject.
