Curriculum and instruction files

Series consists of records relating to credit and non-credit instruction offered by the School and its predecessors. Activities, events and topics documented include the evaluation of courses, new course proposals, curriculum rationalization and scheduling, development of Continuing Education courses, cross-listed courses with other departments, Programs of Distinction, Programs of Excellence, seminar and colloquium series, high school computer course development, the Summer Computing Institute, workshops, and the graduate and undergraduate program.

Records include correspondence, reports, course files, working papers, policies, lecture schedules and outlines, reading lists, student self-study guides and handbooks, assignments and essay questions, final exams, directed studies proposals and teaching evaluation summaries.

Some teaching material has been retained (e.g. glossaries, lecture notes), but reprints of articles have not been preserved. The sub-series on "Course files" does not include course administrative records (e.g. enrollment lists, book requisition forms, grade change forms, registration status reports, waiting lists, add/drop forms, lab fee notices). Note that record types found in the files vary considerably from course to course.

School of Computing Science

School history and structure files

Series consists of records relating to the evolution of the School, its internal organization and mandate, scope of activities, and reorganization as part of the Faculty of Applied Science in 1985. Activities, events and topics documented include program planning in the early 1970's, departmental profile and formal review.

Records include correspondence, reports, planning documents, notes and working papers.

Computing laboratory, centre and facility files

Series consists of records relating to the establishment and operation of computing laboratories and other facilities used by students and faculty for research and coursework completion. Activities, events and topics documented include the Centre for Systems Science (CSS), the Computer Graphic Centre, the Computing Centre, and the proposal for a remote academic terminal. Also included are records on the Computer Assisted Instruction Centre (CAI), Computing Science Instruction Lab (CSIL), and the Laboratory for Computing and Communications Research (LCCR).

Records include correspondence, reports, course files, policies and proposals, and working papers.

Committee files

Series consists of records relating to meetings and deliberations of departmental, faculty, university, and external committees in which faculty or representatives from Computing Science participated. Departmental activities, events and topics documented include meetings; faculty search, hiring, and tenure deliberations; computing facilities; curriculum development; undergraduate and graduate programs; and hardware and software acquisition. Faculty records include minutes of the Faculty of Applied Science Executive Committee and the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies Executive Committee. University-wide records consist of minutes and papers from committees such as academic planning, computer policy and planning, and research policy. External committee records include minutes and papers of the British Columbia Computers in Education Committee and the Canadian Computer Science Department Chairmen Committee.

Records include meeting agendas, minutes and supporting documents; correspondence; reports; policies and procedures; program revisions and course proposals; and working papers.

Note that in the case of departmental committees, the files constitute the original, authoritative records of those committees. In the case of non-departmental committees (faculty, university and external), however, the School did not typically function as the official record-keeper or custodian of the committee's original records. Accordingly, these files document the School's participation in the committees (correspondence and copies of committee records) rather than representing the authoritative record of those committees.
