MERM Graduate Program - Course Levels
In our discussion of MERM courses
it is important to use the terminology of “introductory”,
“intermediate”, and “advanced” courses.
In this light, all of our courses, irrespective of the level
of the course, are open to students across the Department
(and actually across the Faculty, and in some cases, the
University). What this means is that we are no longer using
the language of "specialized" courses and also
"service" versus "non-service" courses.
Instead, the language of "introductory, intermediate,
and advanced" courses makes it clearer that all of
our courses are required by several of the ECPS Programs.
All of the Programs in ECPS require
that their students take some combination of introductory
to advanced courses. For example, all SCPS, HDLC, SPED, and
CNPS doctoral students have methodological requirements and
some of those requirements are met through our intermediate
and advanced courses.
Given the above description, every academic
year we try and strike a balance so that we have at least
one intermediate or advanced course in each of the winter
terms.
What follows is an example of course offerings
during an academic year:
Introductory/basic (EPSE 481, 482, 528,
592, 595)
Intermediate (EPSE 596)
Advanced (EPSE 597, 681, 682)
Whether a course is considered
introductory, intermediate, or advanced is somewhat arbitrary
but you will get a sense of our course offerings from the
list above.
