This course considers basic approaches to intervention with children and adolescents through the lens of developmental psychopathology and evidence-based practice. Students gain an understanding of the importance of selecting interventions that are appropriate to what we know about effectiveness for specific clinical problems, the developmental level of the client, and the wider ecology of risk and protective factors that characterize children's and adolescents' lives. Major approaches to psychotherapeutic intervention with children and adolescents are reviewed. Students gain experience in the development of basic clinical skills that can be applied within a variety of clinical interventions. Important ethical issues that often emerge in work with children and adolescents are discussed. The importance of cultural and individual diversities in key areas that are often targeted by interventions with children and adolescents are considered, e.g., parenting values, beliefs and practices or family hierarchies and communication patterns. Students also are encouraged to draw on the conceptual and empirical research base (or lack thereof) that informs our understanding of the impact of social and cultural factors on therapeutic effectiveness. 09-09-2022-02-12-2022 Lecture Friday 09:30AM - 12:20PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 508

This course covers fundamental skills associated with the development of computer-controlled intelligent systems and processes. Following a modern approach to mechanical engineering design, students will attempt synergistic integration of electronics, control systems, and mechanical components in a controlled laboratory environment. Students must demonstrate skills related to the selection, integration and/or calibration of sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, control algorithms, computer software, and hardware systems used to manage complexity, uncertainty, and communication in robotic systems. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. 07-09-2022-21-12-2022 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 01:30PM - 02:20PM, Faculty Sustainable Design Eng, Room 128A

This course is an introduction to the basic concepts and principles of microbiology. The structure and function of the major groups -viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa-which affect human health, are studied. Topics include the process of disease transmission, immunology, physical and chemical methods of disease prevention and control, as well as major infectious diseases of the body systems. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Restriction: Students must be registered in the Nursing or Foods and Nutrition Programs or have permission of the Chair. NOTE: Students will not get credit for both VPM 1010/BIO 1060 and BIO 2060. 07-09-2022-07-12-2022 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Faculty Sustainable Design Eng, Room 128B

This course explores current concepts of the function of the human forebrain as revealed through cortical damage and degenerative diseases. The course addresses basic principles of cortical organization and function and how these relate to issues of localization of function, hemispheric dominance, and sex differences in brain and behaviour. These principles are then applied to discussions of the cause and diagnosis of specific language, memory, and sensory dysfunctions resulting from developmental disorders, head trauma, and degenerative diseases. Three hours a week class, two hours a week laboratory. 08-09-2022-06-12-2022 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, Kelley Memorial Bldg, Room 210

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. 07-09-2022-21-12-2022 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 01:30PM - 02:45PM, Robertson Library, Room 211

This course introduces many of the main concepts within the field of sociology such as culture, socialization, norms, social roles, values, deviance, and social structure. In addition, this course utilizes the basic concepts and perspectives in sociology to examine critically and to interpret the kinds of interaction experienced in social institutions such as the economy, the polity, the family, education, and religion. Three hours a week. 09-09-2022-16-12-2022 Lecture Friday 01:00PM - 04:00PM, Duffy Research Ctr, Room 212

Beginning with a history of the evolving scientific thought on Earth's place in the universe, students will learn the fundamental physics and biology concepts necessary to assess what makes a planet and solar system suitable for life. Topics will include current research missions within our solar system, the search for extrasolar planets, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and the social implications of discovering life elsewhere. This course is intended for non-science students but science students are welcome to enrol also. Three credit-hour lecture. 07-09-2022-22-12-2022 Web Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

This course introduces students to the theoretical foundations and pedagogical practices related to the development of attitudes, knowledge, and literacy skills in the contexts of French first and second language at all school levels. Students begin to build their understanding of the reading and writing processes and become aware of the fundamental role of language skills in learning to read and write. Students begin to learn the components of an effective literacy program and learn to plan, teach and assess, their students through effective learning experiences and practices. Three semester hours. 31-10-2022-30-11-2022 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 01:00PM - 04:00PM, Health Sciences Bldg, Room 105
