Semester One 2021-2022 - Individual Students

Course Code:  SEBIA1121

Prerequisite(s): Science 10

Course Content: Biology 112 is an introductory exploration of both the unity and diversity among living things. Students first review key scientific principles. Advancing microscope technology is tracked in tandem with the historical development of cell theory. Students study the cell as the basic unit of life, followed by a broad survey of the wide diversity of living organisms with whom we share our planetary home. Throughout the course, newly acquired knowledge is linked to the continuing story of human discovery of structures, functions and evolutionary trends of living organisms. Along the way, students investigate the impact of biology and technology on society, and the impact of human activities on the natural world. Finally, students investigate some of the systems that allow multicellular organisms to maintain dynamic equilibrium, or homeostasis, as they interact with the natural environment—specifically, the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory and immune systems.

World Issues 120 examines various current events that are global in nature and require global solutions. Various issues are examined to acknowledge that events in any part of the world have an impact globally. Students will explore world issues through the lenses of people—humanity; globalization, sustainability, and the UN's Global Goals; and geopolitics— political, environmental, social, and economic interactions.  The majority of assessments are critical inquiry projects where students will select topics, outline issues, and generate solutions to the world’s biggest problems

Course Content:
Writing 110 explores the craft of writing, which focuses on the process as well as the final product. The workshop approach is employed; students engage in writing conferences with the Writing 110 instructor to work through stages of the writing process. Students choose their own writing topics, and their own writing resources to pre-write, draft, revise, edit, and proofread several kinds of writing: personal narrative, descriptive, editorial, public service announcement. The final module allows students to choose between creative writing (students will write either poetry, children’s literature, short story, or humour) and technical writing (students will write a technical procedure). Students work in writing communities with their peers to exchange feedback and encourage progress. The course culminates with the compilation of a writing portfolio in which students reflect upon their progress during the semester.
