BIOL 104 - BIOLOGY I

A course designed for those students who require
first year biology in their program of study or

who wish to go on to further study in biology. The
course includes cell biology, biochemistry, and an
examination of the processes of life in the plant
and animal body. A strong emphasis is placed on
the development of critical thinking skills through
problem solving, research design, and laboratory
analysis.

Pre-requisites: BIOL 12 or equivalent and CHEM 17 or
equivalent. Students lacking the stated Pre-requisites
may enrol in the course with written permission of the
School Chair; however, they should be aware that they
will be required to do additional work. This course is
available via Distance Education, but requires attendance
at weekly on-site labs.

BIOL 106 - BIOLOGY II

Along with BIOL 104 (Biology I), this course provides
an overview of the study of living things. Biology

106 presents topics in population, community and
ecosystem ecology, and classical and molecular
genetics. Evolution provides a unifying theme for

the course. A strong emphasis is placed on the
development of critical thinking skills through
problem solving, case studies and laboratory
investigation.

Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 with a grade of "C" or better or
written permission of the Instructor and School Chair.

CHEM 125 - FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the
continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122.

The course consists of two major units: physical
chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of
physical chemistry begins with an investigation of
reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles
of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous

TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

solutions, and an introduction to the laws of
thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey
of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the
physical and chemical properties of alkanes and
alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution,
and elimination reactions. The laboratory work
involves the measurement of physical and chemical
properties as well as chemical syntheses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 170 or CHEM 122 with a grade of
"C" or better, or written permission of the Instructor and
School Chair.

- CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENT:
CHEM 110 OR CHEM 122

Students requiring first-year Chemistry have a choice
of Chemistry 110 or Chemistry 122.

— CHEM 110: Fundamentals of Chemistry
— CHEM 122: General Chemistry I

ENGL 110 - COLLEGE COMPOSITION

English 110 is about thinking and writing. You will
learn how to develop and express informed opinions
on issues that matter. You will also learn about
research, editing, and expository and persuasive
academic writing forms.

Pre-requisites: A “C” or better in ENGL 12 or equivalent
or LPI level 4 or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

ENGL 111 - INTRODUCTION TO LITERATURE

English 111 is about living more intensely. Rather
than providing answers, literature prompts us to ask
better questions of ourselves and each other. Drama,
poetry, short stories, and novels will guide us in
discussion, reflection, and writing about literature.

Pre-requisites: FNGL 110 with a grade of "C" or better or
equivalent, or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

Note: English 112/114 is intended for students interested
in a literary focus.
