Laboratories will focus on the taxonomic diversity of algae through the use of field surveys of local streams and lakes, and experiments using our extensive algal culture collection. Prerequisite: 200-level Biology course. Both BOT 205 and BIOL 208 recommended. Offered in alternate years.

BIOPH 201: Introduction to Biophysics

N/A

★ 3 (fi 6) (first term, 3-0-0) Physical principlesimportant to the operation of biological systems. Biological applications of free energy, entropy, random walks, and diffusion; dynamics at low Reynolds number; cooperativity and 2-state systems; structural self-assembly; kinetic modeling; molecular motors and enzymes; membranes and potentials; genetic networks; sequences and evolution. Prerequisites: MATH 100/114/117/134/144, PHYS 124/144 or EN PH131. PHYS 126/130/146 recommended.

Rationale for change: (Not required for course deletion or editorial changes)

This is the first of two new biophysics courses proposed which arose from the effort to create a new undergraduate biophysics program lead by Michael Woodside and Daniel Charlebois. The program itself is currently on hold pending the outcome of the Faculty-wide BSc renewal effort. However, in consultation with other departments there was considerable interest in having an introductory biophysics course available for students in their programs. In addition, offering this course in advance of the program itself will provide the necessary experience to adapt the material to the appropriate level for students in related programs ensuring that it is easy for these students to transfer into a biophysics program when it is created. This course would also cover the introductory material covered in the first half of our existing PHYS 495/595 Biophysics course making it sensible to replace this course by the proposed new 400-level biophysics course from the program.

The two new courses use a new course descriptor: BIOPH, because the new Biophysics courses are extremely multi-disciplinary. The department therefore seeks the creation of a new BIOPH course descriptor.

Honors in Physiology is offered by the Department of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry through the Faculty of Science. The Honors program is designed to prepare students for advanced study leading to careers in academia, industrial research, or for entry into health-related professions. A choice of courses is available for students with interests in particular branches of the life sciences (e.g., cell and molecular biology, endocrinology, cardiovascular physiology, and neurobiology). Continuation and graduation in the Honors Physiology program requires successful completion of *24 with a minimum 3.0 GPA, in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, second-year students must present a minimum grade of B in PHYSL 212 and PHYSL 214 in order to continue, whereas students who are eligible to enter the program in their third year and have credit in PHYSL 210 must present a minimum grade of A- in order to be admitted.

Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute Neuroscience Honors Program


Proposed

The Honors program in Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary program coordinated by the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute. This program is for students planning a career in Neuroscience. For admission to the Honors in Neuroscience program see Admissions Chart 7, Faculty of Science. Neuroscience is a broadly based discipline covering all aspects of brain function. Some major areas are brain development, nerve cells and synapses, sensation and perception, learning and memory, control of movement, animal behavior, cognitive psychology, and disorders of the nervous system. The Honors program introduces the major areas of Neuroscience and allows students to explore topics of interest in their final year. Continuation in the Honors program requires a minimum GPA of 3.3 in each preceding Fall/Winter. Graduation requires a minimum GPA of 3.3 on ★60 in Years 3 and 4 of the program. Each program of study must be approved by the program coordinator in the Neuroscience and Mental Health Institute. A full course load of ★30 per academic year must be maintained throughout each year of the Honors program. Courses cannot be deferred to the Spring/Summer Terms without prior permission of the program coordinator. Year 1 BIOL 107 - Introduction to Cell Biology CHEM 101 - Introductory University Chemistry I CHEM 261 - Organic Chemistry I MATH 114 - Elementary Calculus I OR MATH 134 - Calculus for the Life Sciences I MATH 115 - Elementary Calculus II OR STAT 141 OR STAT 151 - Introduction to Applied Statistics I

8. Credit in SCI 100 will be considered equivalent to MATH 114, MATH 115, CMPUT 174, ★12 Science options (see details of courses) and ★6 options.

9. Credit in SCI 151 will be considered equivalent to ★6 Science options.


11. 300- and 400-level ECON courses require successful completion of either the Assessment of Reading, Comprehension, and Writings in Economics or ECON 109. The later course may be used as a junior option in the degree.
