English 2340 is an intensive practical course in public speaking that helps students from across the disciplines become confident oral communicators. By learning and applying the techniques that the very best speakers use, students will gain the knowledge and experience they need to overcome performance obstacles and ultimately to find their own voices. The overall aim of the course is to move participants towards an extemporaneous speaking style that they can carry with them through their studies and into their professional lives. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, Kelly Memorial Building 211.

Following on the research skills and knowledge gained in ACLC 3060, this course guides students through the design, research, and presentation of a project with application outside the university context. Included in the course are an introduction to project management concepts and methods, with instruction on the process of developing a business plan, and an introduction to some of the fundamental techniques of modern marketing. Liberal arts skills and knowledge as well as case studies from related fields, such as arts and culture, heritage, journalism, politics, community organizations, are highlighted. For this applied, experiential project, students are expected to choose a topic on which they have already done considerable theoretical, critical, and/or research work (e.g., a substantial assignment in a previous course). 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Seminar Wednesday 08:30AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 113

In this course, students are introduced to the use of the scientific method in psychology, including how statistical and experimental approaches promote specific assumptions about reality and psychological research. Key concepts include operational definitions, reliability and validity, within- and between-group experiments, quasi-experiments, surveys, cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, and observational methods. The course includes consideration of research ethics in quantitative research.

This course introduces some of the fundamental methods of quantum mechanics. Topics include the postulates and mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, the Dirac description of quantum mechanics, applications to a variety of one-dimensional problems such as quantum tunnelling, and the harmonic oscillator. Three hours lecture per week. 04-09-2025-04-12-2025 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, Faculty Sustainable Design Eng, Room 301

This is a lecture/seminar course designed to review recent advances in internal medicine and the physiologic mechanisms underlying health and disease of small animals, at a level appropriate for an internal medicine MSc/MVSc-Residency program. The course will involve in-depth discussions of the relevant current literature or recently published texts. Considerable out-of-class preparation is required. Lecture or seminar: 1 hour per week. 03-09-2025-04-12-2025 Graduate Studies Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

This course examines sustainability theory and green technology, beginning with an examination of the historical context for the physical, environmental, technological, economic and political aspects of traditional energy systems and energy transitions. Students will then be introduced to different types of renewable energy technology and how they can work as a replacement for conventional technologies. 08-09-2025-01-12-2025 Lecture Monday 12:30PM - 03:20PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 508

This course introduces students to the genre of science fiction. Looking at literature from a variety of historical periods, students explore how science fiction responds to the cultural contexts out of which it arises. Possible topics include space/time travel, alternative histories, artificial intelligence, the relationship between technology and morality, and utopias and dystopias. 03-09-2025-03-12-2025 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30AM - 12:20PM, Robertson Library, Room 208

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 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 Monday 01:00PM - 01:50PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 213 (more)...
