Applications include separation of variables for Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), along with topics in Taylor and Fourier series, and convergence tests.

This course will cover more detailed grammatical patterns, including verb tenses and their uses. Aural/oral skills will continue to develop through increased use of French in class and laboratory practice. This course cannot be taken for credit if the student has taken French 30 (French Grade 12) at the High School level.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to foundational instructional processes informed by cognitive science, blending theory and practice with collaborative reflection to prepare students for effective teaching. Through a cyclical process of theoretical coursework, micro-teaching, and reflection on practice, students deepen their understanding of essential teaching frameworks, lesson planning, instructional design, and assessment practices. Coursework emphasizes unpacking curriculum to design engaging, meaningful activities and lessons for diverse classroom settings. Students will develop skills in differentiating instruction through inclusive teaching strategies and classroom management, enabling them to support progress across multiple grade levels and meet the needs of all learners.

In this course, students will develop their knowledge of Indigenous peoples’ histories, educational experiences and knowledge systems, and will further develop their understanding of the significant connections between such knowledge and the professional roles and obligations of teachers. The course will prepare pre-service teachers to implement Indigenous knowledge, and gain understanding about Ways of Knowing and traditions, including land-based teachings and practices from traditional knowledge holders.

In this course, students will develop the skills and knowledge needed to plan, facilitate, and evaluate dynamic outdoor play experiences for young children. Building on foundational child development and play theories, the curriculum emphasizes balancing opportunities for risk-taking with the maintenance of a safe and supportive environment. Students will explore strategies for fostering inclusive, nature-based play spaces, develop a repertoire of outdoor activities and games adaptable to all seasons, and promote curiosity, independence, and environmental stewardship. Through reflective learning and collaborative activities, participants will gain the confidence and competence to create engaging outdoor experiences that support children’s overall growth and well-being.

An organization cannot be as successful if they do not have the tools and resources to develop, measure, and reward employee performance. Developing and administering compensation and total rewards systems are key as employees expect fair and equitable compensation. Students will leave the course with and understanding of allocating financial and non-financial rewards (including learning and development) to employees. They will learn about different forms of pay models, aligning compensation with the organizational goals and strategies, and the internal and external pressures on compensation. Specifically, the subjects of job analysis, job evaluation, wage and salary structures, and types of compensation plans will be addressed as well as issues in compensation.
