COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Salzburg, Austria field trip will take place in September 2004. It is designed to expose students to a range of issues particular to the city and region.

Students are responsible for ensuring that they possess the necessary documentation for admission to Austria/Germany (i.e., Passport, Canadian birth certificate and photo identification, visa if necessary, etc.). If you have any questions about this, contact Grace Panourgias (Departmental Assistant) at 416-979-5038.

Space is at a premium, so baggage will be restricted to one bag per person. If you plan on taking photographic or other electronic or other equipment, you should arrange to register it with Canada Customs in order to avoid difficulties on your return.

Any medical problem should be pointed out to faculty prior to leaving Toronto. If you require prescription drugs, be sure they are kept in the original prescription bottle, or are accompanied by the prescription. You may need to ensure that you acquire Blue Cross or equivalent supplemental medical coverage for the period of the field trip.

Students are required to sign a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement.

COURSE EVALUATION

Details of the nature of the course requirements will be provided in the first scheduled class.

In order to receive a passing grade for the course, students must: 1. Meet acceptable standards in the required assignments; 2. Participate in all scheduled activities on the itinerary (a 10% total course grade reduction will be administered for each scheduled event where students fail to participate); and 3. Meet professional standards of conduct. Students must adhere to the Student Code of Academic and Non-academic Conduct and other relevant University policies. You are responsible for reading the Code. Proper student conduct is crucial on a trip of this nature—any breach will be addressed by instituting disciplinary action.
