No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1984–85 to 1988–89 used the number for Biotechnology 2); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An introduction to Quatemary ecology. The morphology, biostratigraphy, distribution and paleoecological significance of major plant and animal groups in the Quaternary sciences. Relationships of fossil assemblages to modern ecosystems. Students will be expected to arrange with the instructors a field trip in the preceding term.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Biotechnology 2, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Biotechnology involves the harnessing of biological processes for large-scale industrial applications. Topics examined will include industrial enzymology, and animal and plant cell culture.
