IFS 201 Student-Initiated Workshops on Technological ~ and Social Problems (WOTASP)
The Student-Initiated Workshops on Technological and Social Problems have been established in response to the needs felt by faculty and students at the University of Waterloo for increasing the involvement of the University, as an institution with a unique concentration of knowledge, resources and expertise, in seeking solutions to urgent technological and social problems, and develop- _ ing in students the ability to work with fellow students from a variety of disciplines in formulating and defining complex problems, demonstrating initiative and resourcefulness in obtaining relevant information from documents, interviews, and field work, and evaluating and weighing the relative merits of alternative solutions with a view toward constructive utilization of the findings. Workshops are to be student-initiated, student-planned, and student directed. It is assumed that the idea for a Workshop will originate with a group of interested undergraduate students, who will then submit to the WOTASP Co-ordinator, preferably before the start of the term, a one-page statement presenting the problem that is to be the subject of investigation. The statement should outline.
a) the problem, b) some possible approaches that might be used within the Workshop, c) suggestions as to how the findings might contribute to a constructive solution to the problem, d) references to relevant information sources, research reports, and publications, e) a statement from each faculty resource person (if possible, more than one) who has agreed to consult with the students as necessary, : f) a list of resources needed (technical apparatus, paper materials and other items), g) proposed grading criteria, and h) names of students interested in enrolling in the Workshop.
The Inter-Faculty Programme Board will provide, as necessary, - consulation and advice to the students on all aspects of the proposal, including assistance in locating resource persons to evaluate student performance and assign grades, in consultation with the Co-ordinator. ; Further details may be obtained from the WOTASP Coordinator or the Inter-Faculty Programme Board office.

IFS 220 Social Philosophy and Social Justice
This course provides partly an introduction to, and partly an overview and synthesis of, social philosophy and the social sciences. The unifying themes are the continued emphasis on normative questions and foundational and methodological questions about — social philosophy and social science. Although all the social sciences are touched upon, somewhat more emphasis is given to politics, economics, sociology and anthropology than to psychology as such. In general, questions are raised via normative issues, especially the issues of social justice, and through interaction the idea of social planning becomes prominent. Winter term 4 hours (2 2-hour sessions per week) Not offered in 1974-75
