Courses
University courses are designed for students from different fields and disciplines to engage in course work that is not discipline
based.
| UNIV*6000 The Structure and Function of Muscle U [0.50] |
| An interdisciplinary course covering basic aspects of muscle from a range of viewpoints: structure, metabolism, protein content,
energetics, mechanics, biological adaptations, growth and development. The course is designed for graduate students from a
wide range of specific disciplines and will provide a broad background to muscle biology as well as more detailed insights
into specific aspects of each area covered.
|
| UNIV*6010 Regulation in Muscle Metabolism U [0.50] |
| An interdisciplinary course emphasizing the regulation of muscle metabolism in vivo. The course focuses on the integration
of metabolic fuel utilization to meet cellular energy demands under a variety of conditions in the whole animal. Topics include:
sources of energy demand, integration of energy supply to meet energy demands, and regulation of cell growth, maintenance
and adaptation.
|
| UNIV*6030 Selected Topics in Animal Welfare F-W [0.50] |
| This course provides for an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of topics in animal welfare. Selected topics will be
analyzed in depth with input from various disciplines such as animal science, biology, philosophy, psychology, and economics.
An introductory lecture for registered students will be followed by six 2-hour seminars which will be open to the university
community (advertised through the Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare, CSAW). Proceedings from the course, including papers
prepared by registered students, will be published.

| The course includes on-line training modules covering the following topics: Legislation, Regulation & Guidelines, Ethological
Considerations in Animal Management, Ethics in Animal Experimentation, Research Issues, The Three Rs of Humane Animal Experimentation,
Occupational Health and Safety when Working with Animals, Euthanasia, Recognition and Alleviation of Pain and Distress in
Animals. Graduate students using or caring for live animals or assisting in teaching courses involving live vertebrate animals
also must attend the Animal Care Services species-specific Workshops as part of the Animal User Training Program.
|
| UNIV*6710 Commercialization of Innovation F [0.50] |
| This course is designed to help participants better understand the process, the analytical tools that can assist the process
and how best to prepare technologies to survive commercialization. The course includes elements of entrepreneurship, relationship
building, organizational change, as well as project and personnel management.
|
| UNIV*6800 University Teaching: Theory and Practice F [0.50] |
| Participants will critically examine aspects of teaching in higher education and develop teaching skills such as lecturing,
demonstrating, leading discussions, and problem solving. Satisfactory (SAT) or unsatisfactory (UNS) will be used to evaluate
the student's performance in this course.
