This course concentrates on effective procedures for the statistical estimation and testing of key parameters in economic models. Remedies are developed for problems associated with model specification. Multicollinearity, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, simultaneous equations, and forecasting. 07-01-2020-02-04-2020 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, Room to be Announced

This course introduces the recent paradigm shift from anthropocentric ethics to biocentric ethics. The main objectives of the course are 1) to develop understanding of the main arguments concerning the moral status of nonhuman animals; 2) to cover the full range of different ethical positions regarding animals and discuss their advantages and disadvantages; and 3) to identify ideologies associated with thinking about animals and develop a critique which liberates us from one-dimensional thinking about animals. Topics addressed include whether animals have minds, whether animals have rights analogous in some way to human rights, and how to balance the interests of animals with other environmental goods. Other topics include animals as food, animal research ethics, animals in entertainment, cloning, biotechnology, companion animals, and legal and moral issues associated with animal activism. 17-05-2021-28-06-2021 Web Monday, Wednesday 09:00AM - 11:15AM, Room to be Announced

The principles of genetics are considered in a broad perspective. Topics include chromosome structure and behaviour, molecular biology and biochemistry of genes, DNA inheritance, recombination, replication and mutation, Mendelian inheritance, and inheritance of linked genes. There is a strong emphasis on problem solving, probability and statistics in tutorials. Three hours lecture, one hour tutorial a week NOTE: Biology majors and minors are expected to take BIO-2230. Students will not get credit for both BIO-2230 and BIO-2240. 06-01-2021-07-04-2021 Web Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Room to be Announced
