The goal of this course is to learn how genetic logic helps us understand biology. We will think about organisms as the result of information passed each generation from parent to offspring. We will apply genetic principles to all of biology-from interactions between molecules and cells, to organismal traits, to evolutionary change in populations. We will also explore the many uses of genetic information. We will learn how genetic patterns in the real world can help us conserve species or trace how diseases spread. We will also see how manipulating genetic information can help us reveal gene function and engineer useful traits into organisms. Genetics has a strong emphasis on problem solving, probability, and statistics. 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. 08-01-2024-08-04-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 121S

This elective course covers three components: lobster health, finfish health and ecosystem health. The lobster component reviews health issues of lobsters with an emphasis on diseases of impounded lobsters and associated risk factors, and offers a laboratory on sampling procedures for diagnostic purposes. The finfish component addresses production and health related diseases in food fish with an emphasis on farmed salmon and coldwater marine fish. Topics include disease surveillance, disease risk factors, health management methods, and interactions between farmed and wild fish populations. The ecosystem health component introduces the principles of ecohealth using current examples from agriculture, aquaculture and wildlife. Five-week module with three hours of lecture per week.

This course introduces students to the study of material culture in historical research. The course uncovers the hidden stories embedded in everyday objects - how they were made, used, and what they reveal about the relationships and values of ordinary people in the past. Students work directly with historical artifacts from local museum collections, and are introduced to practices and skills in museum and heritage professions. Some classes are held off campus to facilitate research and visits to local museums. Enrollment is by permission of the instructor. 3 credit hours. 10-01-2024-24-04-2024 Lecture Wednesday 01:00PM - 03:50PM, Room to be Announced

This course is an introduction to the major classes of biomolecules and their main metabolic pathways.

This course will serve as an introductory survey to Indigenous literature on Turtle Island (what is now Canada, the US and Mexico). The work we study will span the period often called the Native Literary Renaissance, and the years immediately preceding this, from 1954 onwards. This was a time when work written by Indigenous writers reaches a main-stream non-Indigenous, non-academic audience. 08-01-2024-24-04-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 01:30PM - 02:45PM, Health Sciences Bldg, Room 105
