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. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, Duffy Science Ctr, Room 135

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).

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. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 117

This course introduces students to an overview of children's mental health issues, the core competencies of Social Emotional Learning, and evidenced-based programs and strategies identified for improving students' social skills, emotional well-being, and academic outcomes. Three hours a week. 12-09-2024-15-10-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 08:30AM - 11:20AM, Memorial Hall, Room 308

This course examines the social and political contexts in which sociology was formally constituted as an academic discipline. It also offers an interpretive analysis of some of the major ideas, systems of explanation, and modes of analysis generated by the early sociologists. It is strongly recommended that Sociology 3010 and 3020 not be taken in the same year as Sociology 3310 and 3320. Three hours a week. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 320

The purpose of this course is to provide an introductory foundation in core concepts and skills of short term psychotherapy work and will include the essential models of brief psychotherapy, including critical issues essential to brief therapy.
Review of brief models of motivational interviewing, cognitive therapy, behaviour therapy, solution focused therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy and dynamic psychotherapy will be included. The role of medication in brief therapy will also be examined. Other modern therapies like internet based brief psychotherapy and Tele Psychiatry will also be covered.

Students’ will role practice brief models and be engaged on skill development in a case-oriented learning style including experiential training. The course will examine the influence of culture and remain sensitive to the unique differences among people while using the various modalities.

The course takes place each Wednesday 1:30pm - 4:20pm at Room 104 Memorial Hall.

This course teaches students how to effectively collect and use data to support decision-making in a business context. The course focuses on understanding and interpreting statistical data; understanding how data collection methodology affects the quality of statistical results; and assessing the reliability, usefulness and limits of statistical information for a particular business situation. 04-09-2024-04-12-2024 Graduate Studies Wednesday 09:00AM - 11:50AM, McDougall Hall, Room 329

Intended for Nursing students and not intended for Psychology Majors or Minors, this course is an introduction to applied statistics as used by behavioural scientists in measurement, data, analysis, and design of experiments. This course stresses both an understanding of the rationale governing the selection of appropriate designs or techniques as well as practical experience in calculation. Topics include: scaling, measures of central tendency and variability, probability, statistical inference and hypothesis testing, means test (z and t), correlational techniques, chi-square and other non-parametric techniques, and analysis of variance. Students cannot receive credit for Psychology 2710 and either of Psychology 2790 or Psychology 2750. Three hours a week. 09-09-2024-02-12-2024 Lecture Monday 06:00PM - 08:50PM, Health Sciences Bldg, Room 103
