Featured Courses
BCH 297 Biochemistry
BIO 211 Principles Of Genetics
This course examines the principles of heredity, Mendelian laws, as well as basic concepts of gene structure and function, gene regulation and genetic recombination. Principles from prokaryotes, eukaryotes and viruses will be explored. The accompanying laboratory component contains experiments and exercises to illustrate key genetic principles and genetics molecular techniques
BIO 493 Independent Research Study In Biology
This course is the first course of a two-semester research project (Fall and Winter). In this course, the students will choose a research project of their choice, perform background research, pilot experiments, and write a research proposal. The research will continue in Course B. This course will rely on independent work, in conjunction with a research supervisor who you will meet with on a regular basis.
CHE 495 Independent Research Study In Chemistry
This course is a one-semester research project in chemistry. Students will design and implement a chemistry experiment, conduct data analysis, and disseminate this knowledge as a formal scientific report and an oral conference presentation. In this particular project, the student will research the native edible plants in Calgary, conduct an investigation on the metabolites present in these plants, and report on the beneficial components of the plants.
ZOO 275 Invertebrate Zoology
This course deals with the organization and morphology of the invertebrate phyla.
