Description
This course introduces students to a diversity of current science, and professionalism in science. Through classroom activities and assessment tasks students develop a sense of identity and belonging with their colleagues and their program of study. Students will be exposed to the theory of and have, through integration with discipline-specific modules, the opportunity to practice a range of generic skills relevant to both their university studies and practice in science including, typically, oral and written communication, peer review, team/group work, information literacy, personality types and learning styles, ethics and codes of conduct. The discipline-specific modules will engage students with research scientists and research principles and activities in science.
Note 1: This course is only available to students in the Advanced Science and Advanced Mathematics single and dual degree programs.
Note 2: This course must be taken at Stage 1
Below are some notes to help you determine which stream to enrol in. If your program is specified, enrol in that stream. Students whose program is not specified should choose a stream that corresponds to their area of interest.
Stream A: Advanced Mathematics (only for students enrolled in program 3986)
Stream B: Chemistry
Stream C: Psychology
Stream D: Life Sciences
This stream is for students considering majors offered by BEES (Archaeology & Palaeoenvironments, Biological Science, Climate Dynamics, Climate Systems, Earth Science, Ecology, Geochemistry, Human Geography, Marine & Coastal Studies, and Physical Geography) and also majors offered by BABS (Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular and Cell Biology).
Stream E: Medical Sciences
This stream is for students considering majors offered by the School of Medical Sciences (SOMS): Anatomy, Neuroscience, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Physiology. This course is not for students in Medical Science 3991. These students should enrol in SCIF1111.
Stream F: Mathematics
This stream is for students considering a major in Mathematics, Statistics, or Advanced Physical Oceanography, or who are enrolled in a dual Advanced Math program (i.e. 3523, 3564, 3589, 3933, and 3998).
