In this course students attend regular departmental seminars. Students are also required to present a seminar on a topic within their discipline, but unrelated to their research project. Students must register for this course each semester, and receive a grade of "In Progress" until completion of their MSc programs. NOTE: Responsibility for this course rests with the department of Chemistry and this course has a numeric grade. 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Seminar Wednesday 12:30PM - 01:20PM, Irving Chemistry Ctr, Room 104

This course examines how the more basic senses work and how they contribute to our awareness of the world. The sense of touch seems to give us direct contact with the world. The abilities to sense chemicals in the food we eat and the air we breathe guide not only what we eat but also our emotions. Sensing vibrations in air enables us to detect events out of sight and to receive both verbal and musical communications from others. Content covered in this course also considers principles and theories of how visual information is received, and how it is processed and combined to produce visual images. These vastly different sources of information-mechanical, chemical and gravitational, as well as the electromagnetic basis of vision are sensed by specialized biological receptors that transform the information into nerve impulses. This course examines how the principles used by the brain to interpret the diverse information are surprisingly similar. NOTE: Credit will not be allowed for PSY-2600 if a student has already recevied credit for PSY-2610 or PSY-2620. 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, Duffy Science Ctr, Room 135

This course covers the basic methods to calculate premiums and reserves for short-term insurance coverages; the role of rating factors and exposure; the different forms of experience rating; the description and application techniques for estimating unpaid losses from a run-off triangle; the following methods: Chain ladder, Average cost per claim, Bornhuetter Ferguson; and the underlying statistical models for these methods; as well as premiums calculation using the pure premium and loss ratio methods. Three lecture hours per week plus a one hour lab per week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, Duffy Science Ctr, Room 423

This course is an introduction to differential and integral calculus of functions of a single variable. The course is intended primarily for majors in the Mathematical and Computational Sciences, Engineering and the Physical Sciences, as well as those planning to continue with further Mathematics courses. The concepts of limits, continuity and derivatives are introduced and explored numerically, graphically and analytically. The tools of differential calculus are applied to problems in: related rates; velocity and acceleration; extrema of functions; optimization; curve sketching; and indeterminate forms. The concepts of definite and indefinite integrals are introduced, and the relation between the two integrals is discovered via the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. PREREQUISITE: Grade XII academic Mathematics (Note: Credit will not be given jointly for this course and Math 1120). 03-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Thursday 01:00PM - 01:50PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 213 (more)...

This introductory course offers students the opportunity to develop their research, writing and critical thinking skills while introducing them to the nature of historical method and inquiry. The course provides instruction and practice in the use of standard print and electronic bibliographic tools and in the writing of research, analytical and critical papers in history. Topics of study include the relationship between history and truth, the uses of evidence and argumentation, and the varieties of historical research. The course features library workshops as well as experience using local archives. Lecture/Discussion/ Workshops: Three hours a week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, Robertson Library, Room 209

This course introduces students to clinical disciplines central to small animal primary care and wellness, including vaccinology, preventive parasitology, neonatology, gerontology, and elective surgery. PREREQUISITE: Third year standing in the DVM program One hour of lecture per week. 25-08-2025-23-12-2025

This rotation focuses on development of knowledge and skills needed to deliver reproductive services in small animal practice. Students will participate in case-based discussions on breeding management, breeding soundness exams, abortion, elective C-section timing, contraception, and advanced reproductive technology. Opportunities will be provided to gain technical skills in ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis, semen collection and freezing, and transcervical insemination. Fourth year standing in the DVM program. One week in duration. 18-08-2025-31-12-2025

This course explores the concept of sustainability in relation to how societies have interacted with the environment overtime. Through exploration of successes and failures from historical and contemporary societies, students will develop the capacity to understand the ecological context in which humans live, to recognize limits, and to design sustainable human systems for the future. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, Kelley Memorial Bldg, Room 237
