Math Chart for Social Science Math Entrance Requirement for Social Science (Commerce and World Studies with Math): Math 526 or Math SN 5 or ST5. Students who are lacking Math CST 5 or Math SN 5 or Math ST 5 and who wish to continue their Math studies, may register for the equivalent courses - Algebra 201-013 and Functions with Trigonometry 201-015. These courses cannot count toward any diploma requirement. They are considered as extra courses outside the program.

<strong>Course</strong> Descriptions in Numerical Order Biology 101-901-RE Human Biology for the Social Sciences (Biology for Social Science students only) Students will be introduced to the basic characteristics of life and how they apply to the human situation. After an introduction to the cell and its functions, the nervous and endocrine systems will be studied in terms of how they regulate the body’s activities and maintain a constant internal state in a changing environment. The course will conclude with a brief introduction to the perpetuation of life through reproduction and genetic principles. This course will also include laboratory exercises that will provide an opportunity for students to better visualize aspects of the phenomenon of life. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 101-B1A-LA Biology: Sharing the Environment (Complementary course - not open to Science students) We are living in an increasingly interconnected world; certainly this is evident in the global nature of many environmental problems. Decisions made by individuals often have far-reaching consequences. By focusing on ecological concepts and principles that govern how nature works, this course provides a foundation for understanding environmental problems and examines ways in which we can build a safer and more habitable world. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 101-B1B-LA Biology: Biological Perspectives on Sex (Complementary course - not open to Science students) This course focuses on the wide variety of relatively new findings on the biology of sex. By examining human sexual anatomy and physiology, we develop a firm foundation for further investigating conception control, developmental biology, sexual disorders, sexually transmitted diseases and patterns of human sexual response. We give the course an added dimension by putting the human condition in the context of the biology of sex. On completion of this course, students will be able to explain and demonstrate the essentials of scientific thought, and to explain the essential characteristics of "the scientific method" as it applies to the biology of sex and show how science and technology are interrelated. 3 hours/week Units: 2.00 101-BLB-05 General Biology II (Biology for Science and International Baccalaureate Science students only) Through a comprehensive introduction to the structure and function of life’s molecular, cellular and organismal machinery, this course will assist in showing how scientists answer the question, “What makes life tick?” An integrated set of laboratory investigations provides supplementary practical experience. Note: This course is recommended for individuals planning to enter the Biological or Health Sciences (including Medicine) at university. Note: This is a required course for all Health Science Students. Class: 3 hours/week Lab: 2 hours/week Units: 2.66 Absolute Prerequisite: 101-NYA 101-BLC-05 General Biology III (Biology for Science students only) This course allows students to develop a comprehensive understanding of life at the organismal level by studying the body structure, function and its development. Laboratory work related to plant cloning, in-vitro fertilization and dissections give students a unique, hands-on experience. This course is only offered once a year and can be taken before, during or after 101-BLB. This course is recommended for students planning to enter the biological or health sciences (in particular medicine, dentistry, physiology, physiotherapy and biology) at university, however, pure and applied science students can also take it. Class: 3 hours/week Lab: 2 hours/week Units: 2.66 Prerequisite: 101-NYA 101-NYA-05 General Biology I (Biology for Science and International Baccalaureate Science students only) Science students taking this course acquire a broad base in the life sciences. The four unifying concepts of genetics, diversity, cell theory, and evolution combine to form a strong foundation for further study. Topics developed include classical genetics w/some human genetic disorders, evolutionary theory, unity in diversity, and cell reproduction. By following an investigative format, the laboratory activities provide a wide range of practical experience with biological tools and research approaches. Note: This course is required for all science students. Class: 3 hours/week Lab: 2 hours/week Units: 2.66
