345-101-MQ

Knowledge

Description: The first philosophy course is an introduction to philosophical practice. This course focuses on the acquisition of the methodological knowledge and skills needed to shape coherent, critical, rigorous, and independent thinking, so that students can rationally answer a philosophical question, that is, a fundamental and controversial question. Through rationality, history, and Western tradition, this first contact aims to develop not only argumentation skills, but also the ability to surprise and philosophical sense. This first contact is therefore also an opportunity to go back in time to understand the socio historical conditions under which philosophy was born, and the intellectual disposition and attitude that enabled philosophical practice and thinking to emerge.

345-102-MQ

World Views

Description: This second philosophy course builds on what was learned about the philosophical approach, and gives students a platform in which to characterize, compare, and discuss the philosophical conceptions of the human being. They learn key concepts and principles on which different modern and contemporary conceptions of the human being can be characterized and compared. They then recognize their significance in Western culture. They analyze, compare, and comment on them, based on current topics or problems, in order to discuss issues for thought and action. This course therefore provides essential insight into the understanding and application of ethical and political theories based on such conceptions of the human being. Critical commentary and philosophical dissertation are the preferred means for students to acquire and develop this skill.

345-P13-ST

Ethics

Description: The purpose of teaching philosophy is to develop critical thought and allow an individual to function as a citizen in a political and professional role. This is achieved through the development, among other things, of a critical mind and intellectual independence. These qualities are taught through the transmission of historical knowledge about philosophy and the great debates it entails. From Greek antiquity to the present day, philosophy continues to raise current questions that constantly require reflection. Questions about the limits of the possibilities for human knowledge, what it means to be human, freedom, justice, or the moral dilemmas facing us in technology, science, the environment, and health, among others, are central to philosophical questioning. Philosophical reflection should therefore be encouraged when training independent, rational and free individuals.

603-101-MQ

Introduction to College English

Description: This course introduces students to the language skills (reading, writing, critical thinking, and speaking) that will be expected of them at the Royal Military College of Canada, and on the larger world stage. Language is something often taken for granted, because it is used for everyday, mundane purposes; however, with the help of classic literary texts, it will be the purpose of this course to awaken students to a very deliberate understanding of how the English language works. The course will commence by exploring the subject of rhetoric and its various components pertaining to essay writing. It will then explore the three main genres of Western literature: poetry, drama, and prose, as well as the medium of the graphic novel. Although genres will not be the focus of this course, they will help in understanding the English literary tradition, and how form corresponds to function. Students will also be instructed and obtain practice in research methods, documentation, the composition of academic essays, and the presentation of oral reports.

603-102-MQ

Literary Genres

Description: The two genres that this course employs as its principal aim of study are the short story and the essay, the former of which can be broadly defined simply as any work of fiction that is shorter than a novella. Although it would appear to be a straightforward genre, the short story is extremely versatile, and when employed by skilled writers, the short story can do almost anything that a longer work of fiction can, and often more. As a genre, it asks relatively little—while offering a great deal in return. A study of the short essay, the non-fiction complement to the short story, provides similar rewards. An in-depth examination of these two genres and the conventions, techniques and devices they employ provides an excellent platform for approaching the “serious” study of literature through genres, as well as revealing the manifold rewards of such a pursuit. While the main focus of this course will be on short stories and articles, it will also cover the short novella and a novel.

603-103-MQ

Literary Themes

Description: Canadian art forms strongly differ from their American counterparts regarding their delineations of various subjects and themes. Over the course of the semester, students will learn that descriptions of certain ideas and subjects can be culturally dependent, meaning that who creates a given work of art influences what the art is trying to say. The foundational idea for this course is to identify the common stylistic and artistic elements that distinguish Canadian media from its American counterparts. Canadian identity is rather fluid compared to that of the United States, and it will hence be a defining goal of this course to determine exactly what makes Canadian art stand out on the world stage. Furthermore, the course will go beyond exploring differences in content and explore differences in form as well—how something is said has heavy implications on what is being said. Poetry, cinema, and prose all tell stories in entirely different ways, so analyzing culturally specific storytelling techniques is key to better understanding the cultures from which they were created.

603-P24-ST

Select Topics in English Literature

Description: The objective of this course is to enable students to communicate in forms appropriate to specific programs. To this end, students should learn to recognize the appropriate forms, conventions of communication, and organization of facts and arguments. Students should learn to develop their own ideas into arguments and theses, to organize them, and to edit their work. By the conclusion of the course, students will, with the aid of reference material and without artificial time constraints, be able to produce a 1000-word analysis. This analysis will be developed clearly and coherently and will demonstrate the following: correct use of specialized vocabulary, conventions, and forms; proper tone and diction; correctly developed sentences and paragraphs; and a well-argued thesis with supporting evidence. Students will employ thorough revision of both the form and content of their work.

Students set goals and identify the technical swimming exercises most likely to help them achieve those goals. They put into practice the concepts taught in order to improve throughout the session. Comparative evaluations at the beginning and end of the session give students an idea of their progress.

109-CMR-34
