Undergraduate Course Descriptions
By special arrangement, courses labelled (t) may be taken in 2 sequential halves by students in co-operative programmes. Cooperative students in other Departments or Faculties should note there are available a number of one-term electives (e.g. 243*, 244%, 245*, 246*) offered in the fall or winter terms. Students registered for one or more of the courses 431, 433, 437, 438 and
course held during the week that follows Labour Day in September of their final year. All Honours Biology students who have completed their third year are required to participate in an off-campus field course held in April, following examinations, but before the official end of term. This is an essential course.
An introduction to the principles of Zoology. The course will include a survey of cell structure and function, animal growth and development, genetics, and ecological concepts, with emphasis placed on the role of man as the central figure in the biosphere. 2 lectures, 3 hours laboratory. Winter term. (For students of Physical Education).
The principles of biology are developed by reference to all biology (including genetics), growth and development, and to selected organisms. Rdan ia Aicanes eA ns «a LiAlantant 22-225.
