Our institution is the largest in northern Alberta and offers something for everyone.
An introduction to active music listening and music literature. Focus is on developing listening skills and awareness of musical style. A brief survey of Western art (classical) music is included.
Introduces the principles and mechanisms of immunity in eukaryotes. Provides and overview of the major groups of infectious agents (virus, bacteria, parasites) and examines selected microorganisms within the context of the host response to pathogens and pathogen evasion strategies.
This course will focus on the structure and physiology of free-living and pathogenic bacteria. The diversity of their metabolic activiites, the interaction of microbes with their environment, symbiotic relationships and cell-to-cell communication are major topics. Lectures and laboratory exercises are coordinated to explore topics in basic microbiology, environmental microbiology, molecular microbiology, and the production of economically or medically important products through microbial biotechnology.
Introductory course in medical microbiology designed for students enrolled in health care related programs. The course begins with basic information on microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and prions), the immune system, infection control, transmission of infection, epidemiology, antimicrobials, disinfection and sterilization. The later part of the course concentrates on infectious diseases caused by pathongenic microorganisms.

Reasoning and problem solving in the context of logic, algebra, geometry, and combinatorics.
Vector spaces; inner product spaces; examples of n-space and the space of continuous functions. GramSchmidt process, QR-factorization of a matrix and least squares. Linear transformations, change of basis, similarity and diagonalization. Orthogonal diagonalization, quadratic forms. Applications in a variety of fields, numerical methods.
The course includes first order and second order linear differential equations with constant coefficients; curves, tangent vectors, arc length, integration in two and three dimensions, polar, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, line and surface integrals; Green's, divergence and Stoke's theorems.
