This course provides an overview of medical anthropology and its approaches to understanding human illness and healing systems in a cross-cultural context. Students examine theoretical and applied approaches to topics which include: ethno-medical systems; biomedical models; symbolism in the healing process; the interrelationships of gender, class, and race in the cultural construction of illness and well being. The impact of colonialism and globalization, infections and inequalities, as well as cross-cultural conceptualizations of the body, are also considered. (Cross-listed with Diversity and Social Justice Studies 4010). Three hours a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Hybrid Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, Robertson Library, Room 211

The basic principles of microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology/genetics are used to discuss aspects of microbial diseases with a particular focus on the specific mechanisms whereby disease occurs. Topics include drug-resistance development, resistance mechanisms, issues in infection prevention and control, and emerging pathogens. Three hours lecture a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 08:30AM - 09:45AM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 110S

In this class we will review the theoretical foundations of quantum mechanics as well as undergo practical investigations of real-world chemical problems using modern quantum chemical software. Topics include methods in first principles simulations such as Hartree-Fock, perturbation theory, configuration interaction, coupled cluster and density functional theories in addition to more approximate methods such as semi-empirical approaches and molecular mechanics force fields. Three lecture hours a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, Memorial Hall, Room 308

This course examines the behaviour and management of individuals and groups in organizations. Organizational behaviour topics, including motivation, decision making, leadership, and work and organizational design, will be studied at different levels of analysis - individual, team, and organization. Students also learn about managing people in organizations, with a focus on the personnel processes involved in the recruitment, development, and retention of human resources in the global workplace. 09-09-2025-02-12-2025 Graduate Studies Tuesday 01:00PM - 03:45PM, McDougall Hall, Room 329

This course provides an understanding of microscopic organization of basic tissues and various organ systems of domestic animals. PREREQUISITE: First year standing in the DVM program.

This course examines principles of gene manipulation, and the application of molecular biology in biotechnology. Recent developments in medicine, agriculture, industry and basic research are considered. Emphasis is placed on reviewing current literature in the field. Three hours lecture a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 211

This course continues from Math 1920 and is an introduction to multivariable differentiation and integration and vector calculus. Topics include parametric representation of curves; polar coordinates; vectors; dot and cross products; curves and surfaces in space; calculus of vector-valued functions; functions of several variables; partial differentiation; directional derivatives; tangent planes; local and constrained maxima and minima; double and triple integrals; changes of variables in multiple integrals; vector fields; line and surface integrals; gradient, divergence and curl; Green's, Stokes' and Divergence Theorems. 03-09-2025-23-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:30AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 117 (more)...

This course focuses on the mental processes underlying music perception, performance and composition. Following a discussion of basic hearing mechanisms, students examine research on perception of musical elements (e.g., tone, interval, triad, harmony and rhythm) and then proceed to broader issues (e.g., musical memory, meaning, aesthetics and intelligence). Music cognition is also compared to other kinds of cognition. Students conduct experimental research. NOTE: While students with musical background would be especially interested in this course, there is no need for prior formal training or knowledge of music. Cross-listed with Music (cf. Music 4120) Three hours a week class, one hour a week laboratory. 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Lecture Wednesday 08:30AM - 11:15AM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 112S

The aim of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the neural signaling, sensory processing, and nervous system pathways involved in human movement. Topics include nerve cell properties, functions of the proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular systems, as well as spinal circuits, descending pathways, and supraspinal contributions to movement. Course content will be applied to further student's understanding of movement-related neuropathologies. 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30PM - 01:20PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 117
