Program Director.
2. For information on program requirements and enrolment procedures for each of
the second major programs, students should consult the individual Departmental
Faculty Advisor or the Departmental Program Descriptions listed within this
Calendar.
3. In each of the 2nd majors, certain courses are compulsory and where a choice of
courses is available, students should consult the Forensic Science Faculty
Advisor for the most appropriate selection.
4. The Program requirements in effect at the time the student is admitted to the
program must be met in order to fulfill the Degree requirements.
5. Prospective students already holding a degree in Biology, Chemistry, Computer
Science, Psychology or Anthropology may not complete a Forensic Science
program in their first specialty due to the overlap of course content for courses
already completed.

Program #15 ERSPE1995 Biological Chemistry (Science)
Rationale for change: We recommend that students interested in chemistry and biological chemistry register for the
chemistry major program after the completion of 4 credits. Those who sustain a 70% average in
second year chemistry courses and a CGPA of 2.5 can then upgrade their program post to the
specialist program after the completion of 9 credits. In this way our limited resources for the 3rd and
4th year laboratory courses (particularly CHM 489Y, a required course and one that is necessary for
our programs to remain accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry), both money and
personnel, can be made available to all qualified students.
Before:
Limited Enrolment: Enrolment in this Program is restricted and selection will be based on completion
of 4.0 credits including CHM140Y5(minimum grade of 65%); MAT132Y5/138Y5; one BIO
half−course is recommended; and a minimum GPA of 2.50 (or by Departmental permission).

Program #20 ERMIN1376 Chemistry (Science)
Rationale for change: Change in MAT course requirements to accommodate change in MAT course offerings.
Before:
Limited Enrolment: Enrolment in the Chemistry Minor Program is based on completion of 4.0 credits
including CHM140Y5 and MAT132Y5/138Y5
Note: MAT132Y5/138Y5 prerequisite is required for most 200 level CHM courses.
After:
Limited Enrolment: Enrolment in the Chemistry Minor Program is based on completion of 4.0 credits
including CHM140Y5 and MAT132Y5/134Y5/135Y5/138Y5
Note: MAT132Y5/134Y5/135Y5/138Y5 prerequisite is required for most 200 level CHM courses.
Program #21 ERSPE1688 Computer Science
Rationale for change: MAT138 will no longer be offered after 2005−2006. It is replaced by MAT137Y5 in 2006−07. First
year writing requirement changed from 1.0 to 0.5 caused by the emergence of CSC290H5 as the
primary vehicle for satisfying the writing requirement. Second year MAT requirement changed from
242H5 to 232H5 because it makes more sense to require Multivariate Calculus (232H5) than

Program #27 ERMAJ2511 Mathematical Sciences (Science)
Rationale for change: See "Specialist" rationale for replacing MAT138Y by MAT137Y, requiring MAT232H, and deleting
MAT252H.
MAT392H (writing course) is an added requirement; the other 200−level requirements are reduced
by 0.5 FCE. MAT302H and MAT402H (replacing MAT365H) are added to the list of options.
RATIONALE FOR CHANGES TO NOTES
Students who enter university knowing they wish to do a Major in Mathematical Sciences should
take MAT137Y. Students in MAT134Y and MAT135Y who develop an interest in Mathematics in first
year still have the option of doing a Major.
St. George permits first year students to take MAT223H.
Before:
Limited Enrolment: Enrolment in the Major program is limited to students with 60% in MAT102H5
and 60% in MAT132Y5/134Y5/135Y5/138Y5.

Program #28 ERSPE1237 Molecular Biology (Science)
Rationale for change:
• BIO475H will no longer be offered so it is dropped as a 4th year requirement and the number of
4th year optional course credits is increased from 0.5 to 1.0.
• The third year Biochem courses from the St. George campus (i.e. BCH 335H1, 340H1) previously
listed as 4th year options are now moved to the third year option list.
• BIO443H5, MGY445H1 and 485H1 have been added to the list of optional 4th year courses.
• Explanation following 4th year courses options modified to include both BIO477H5 and 478H5.

Program #29 ERSPE2511 Mathematical Sciences (Science)
Rationale for change: MAT137Y (a full year of one−variable calculus) replaces MAT138Y, which contained some
multivariable calculus. (MAT137Y is offered at St. George.) Hence, MAT232H (Calculus of several
variables) becomes a required course for all students.
MAT252H is deleted to keep the number of required 200−level courses the same and because it is
felt that a half year of ordinary differential equations will be sufficient.
A writing course (MAT392H) and a senior thesis (MAT492H) are added; the number of other
300−level courses required is decreased by 0.5. The net effect is to add 0.5 FCE to the required
credits.
RATIONALE FOR THE DELETION OF PREVIOUS NOTES:
The removal of multivariable calculus from MAT138Y makes the substitutions involving MAT232H
obsolete.
The possibility of using 200−level courses in ACT/CSC/PHL in place of 300−level requirements has
been removed.
Before:

second year chemistry courses and a CGPA of 2.5 can then upgrade their program post to the
specialist program after the completion of 9 credits. In this way our limited resources for the 3rd and
4th year laboratory courses (particularly CHM 489Y, a required course and one that is necessary for
our programs to remain accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry), both money and
personnel, can be made available to all qualified students.

New Courses
Course #1 BIO339H5 Plant Identification and Systematics (SCI)
Description:
Lectures provide an introduction to principles and underlying philosophy of plant classification,
phylogenetic reconstructions, flowering plant phylogeny, pollination, breeding systems, and speciation in
plants. Laboratories focus on gaining proficiency in recognizing important plant families by sight and
identifying unknown plants by using keys and published Floras. One half−day field trip is required. [26L,
39P]
Prerequisite:
1.0 credit of BIO205H5, 206H5, 207H5, 215H5, or P.I.
Rationale:
Beside the primary goal of this course, centered on the nuts and bolts of plant identification and traditional
classification, students will also be briefly exposed to many important topics in plant biology in general.
This will provide Biology and Environmental Science majors and specialists particularly interested in plants
with integrated, practical exposure to all aspects of plant systematics and biology.

Course #2 BIO403H5 Developmental Neurobiology (SCI)
Description:
A lecture/seminar course on the development of the nervous system with emphasis on genetic, cellular
and molecular mechanisms. Examples will be drawn from well−studied animal models including
Drosophila, frog and mouse. Topics will include differentiation of nerve cells, pathfinding, target selection,
synaptogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. [26L, 13S]
Prerequisite:
BIO304H5, BIO315H5
Rationale:
Development of the nervous system is a fundamental sub−discipline within neurobiology and currently
there is no course offered at UTM that approaches this topic. This course will fill a niche in the UTM course
offerings and will fit into the proposed new specialist program in Behaviour, Genetics and Neurobiology.

Course #3 BIO406H5 Current Topics in Ecology and Evolution (SCI)
Description:
A combination of lectures and tutorials. The course will emphasize group discussion and critiques of
current publications in the field. The theme of the course is expected to be topical and current and to vary
from year to year, with the interests of the faculty member(s) teaching the course. Course themes are
expected to range from structure and function of whole ecosystems (e.g. the collapse of fisheries) to
evolutionary ecology (e.g. the evolution of emergent diseases). [13L, 26T]
Prerequisite:

Preparation:
BIO313H5
Rationale:
We are combining two 4th year courses in ecology, BIO418H5 and BIO405H5, into one new course. The
more general title of the new course will allow faculty teaching the course to pick topical and current
themes within ecology and evolution such as those given in the course description. The merger of the two
courses will free up faculty to teach in other biology offerings.

Targeted instruction and significant practice in the communications required for careers in computer
science. The curriculum covers written, oral, and interpersonal communication. Students will hand in short
pieces of writing each week, will make oral presentations several times in the semester, and will work
together in simulated project meetings and other realistic scenarios of pair and small group interaction.
This can be used to satisfy the Writing requirement in CSC programs. [39L]
Rationale:
CSC programs have had a Writing requirement, but the list of courses that satisfy it has been difficult to
maintain. We have decided to bring the Writing requirement "in−house".
