LIFESCI 2L03: Living Systems Laboratory
< Back Dr. Ana Tomljenovic-Berube (Winter 2021) There were weekly assignments/lab reports to write, which requires planning and working ahead to do well in. Virtual labs and tutorials were held (2x a week), which were helpful to complete the reports. The online textbook/manual was extremely helpful and well organized. Everything that you need to knowContinue reading “LIFESCI 2L03: Living Systems Laboratory”
LIFESCI 3AA3: Human Pathophysiology
< Back Pritchard and Faulkes (Winter 2021) Course heavily based on 2 tests (one test, one exam) and an assignment. The content is interesting, especially if you took anatomy. A lot of memorization, the diseases are kind of basic and things you see in everyday situations, it can get a little dry. The midterm wasContinue reading “LIFESCI 3AA3: Human Pathophysiology”
LIFESCI 1D03: Medical Imaging Physics
< Back Dr. Erica Dao (Winter 2021) Somewhat interesting course. Not just about learning to read x-rays or ultrasound, but also goes into the physics of how it works. The tests are not easy but not too difficult, but there is never enough time to complete them. It is definitely a heavy course with 2Continue reading “LIFESCI 1D03: Medical Imaging Physics”
LIFESCI 2A03: Research Methods in Life Sciences
An examination and application of the scientific method. Selected research problems will be explored to experience different approaches to hypothesis formulation, testing, interpretation and communication in the Life Sciences. [3 units]
LIFESCI 2N03: Human Nutrition for Life Sciences
Basic principles of human nutrition, including the interaction between nutrients and physiological processes that impact health and disease risk. [3 units]
LIFESCI 3L03: Laboratory Methods in Life Sciences
Students develop advanced skills in experimental design, research methodologies, data analysis, and the communication of research information in the Life Sciences. [3 units]
LIFESCI 3AA3: Human Pathophysiology
This course examines the normal physiology of a healthy individual through to the pathophysiological consequences of disease at the cell and tissue level, and how this can lead to greater implications between the various systems of the body. The mechanisms of drug activity and pharmaceutical design will also be explored. [3 units]
LIFESCI 2L03: Living Systems Laboratory
Students will take diverse experimental approaches to studying real-world research questions in Life Sciences. Basic research using model organisms will be used to confront current issues in human health and disease. [3 units]
LIFESCI 2G03: Genes, Genomes and Society
An introduction to genetics that explores the application of genetics and genomics research in our world, from single organisms to ecological systems and from evolution to genetic engineering. [3 units]
