Available Courses

There are many courses options available to you. Below are some online options for January 2022:

BIOL 1020H: Foundations of Biodiversity (Sc) An examination of the biological principles underlying questions concerning biodiversity and evolution. Begins with a discussion of biodiversity and the implications of its loss. This is followed by consideration of the evolution of life on earth, exploring the underlying processes of natural selection and ecological interactions. Prerequisite: 4U Biology or its equivalent.

COIS-MDST 1010H: The Digital World (Sc) Digital systems have redefined how we work, communicate, and play—just think about the World Wide Web, mobile camera phones, video games, and e-business. Core topics examine the underlying technologies of both computing and inform

CRIM 1615H: Introduction to Criminology In this course students are introduced to Criminology as a field of study. Key topics include fear and moral panics, deterrence, ‘the science of morality,’ the roles of strain, social reactions, and power / risk in constructing crime, and modern approaches to addressing crime, such as restorative justice.

ENGL 1005H: Love and Hate The subject of a million popular songs and poems, all great films, and all of Shakespeare’s tragedies, love and hate still defeat us. This course looks at how love and hate are represented in poetry, popular song, drama, and fiction and asks, if “love alters not,” why is it that “love will tear us apart”?

GEOG 1045H: Introduction to the Circumpolar World Introduces students to the landscape, peoples, and issues of the circumpolar region. Beginning with an examination of the geography, biological, and physical systems of the Subarctic and Arctic, the course then turns to the Indigenous and contemporary peoples of the region.
