Department of Biomedical Sciences REASON FOR REVISION (point form):

• Removing the summer offering of BIOM*2000DE; we will continue to offer this course in-class and in DE format in Fall and Winter semesters. The reason for the deletion in the Summer is due to a continued declining enrollment, which will be further exacerbated by the proposed deletion of this course as a prerequisite by CYF and ADEV majors in the FNS program in 2019. It is anticipated that this may reduce our enrollment in this course by ~33% (318 students completed the course in 2018, 117 of which were CYF and ADEV majors.

As CHEM*3430 is proposed to also be offered in the fall semester, it will replace TOX*3300, which is proposed to be deleted. Note has been updated to help notify students prior to semester 6, which is either completed at Guelph or Seneca College. It is proposed that MICR*2430 be added to the 2000 level restrictive elective list to provide students the option of strengthening their microbiology-related laboratory skills. This change will also provide students, especially those planning to apply to Waterloo's pharmacy program, some flexibility in balancing their required courses for the major and the required courses for the professional program.

It is proposed that CHEM*2400 be moved to semester 4 to address enrollment issues related to the set capacity of the laboratory component. (This course will stay in semester 3 for CHEM:C students, who need to complete the course prior to their first co-op work term). CHEM*2400 is a pre-requisite of CHEM*3430, so this course moves forward to semester 6.

• This course is offered in-class in the fall (one section) and the winter (two sections). The DE version is offered in the summer, fall, and winter. The fall in-class section has been full or close to full making it difficult for students with this course in their schedule of studies for the fall to take it in that semester. The designation will allow space in the fall in-class offering to be reserved for these students as necessary. Other students may take the winter offering, or the DE version, or the fall in-class offering it space permits. The intention is to only impose this restriction for the in-class fall offering.

• The DE version used to be offered in the summer (even though the calendar does not indicate a summer offering). The DE version for the last number of years has had very low enrollment (less than 50: start of semester numbers have been S16: 52, S17:49, S18:41) making it not financially tenable to offer it.

• Disallow two CIS courses from this minor. These courses are not allowed for any Bcomp program or CIS minor. Our learning objective for the MSCI minor is for students to have reasonable coding skills or knowledge of theoretical computer science, neither of which are provided by these two courses.

• Alter wording of minor restrictions so that it explicitly excludes combining with the MSCI major and with MATH and STAT minors. Here, for the same reasons as mentioned in the MSCI Major text changes, we explicitly exclude the MSCI minor combined with the MSCI major. We also explicitly exclude the MSCI minor with either a MATH or STAT minor as we feel there is too much overlap potential for these.

• Allowing CIS*1910 in place of MATH*2000 will make it easier for SOCS students to take this minor.

• Although we are allowing CIS*1910, we are recommending MATH*2000 since it has additional material we feel is important. We point out it is a prerequisite for three upper level courses.

• Impose the restriction of taking both a minor in MATH and a minor in MSCI. Students should choose one or the other, not both as there is too much overlap potential between them.

• Change MCB*4050 to BIOC*4050 to better reflect the way the course is taught. Historically, MCB*4050 came from the merger of a MBG and CHEM (biochemistry) 4th year courses that covered similar material. However, for >12 years the course has been taught exclusively by biochemistry instructors who have strongly emphasized the biochemical aspects (atomic protein structure, chemical properties of proteins, structural biology, computational and bioinformatic methods of analyzing protein sequences and structures). The content is still well aligned with the calendar description, but for many course iterations students in MBG have complained that the course did not meet their expectation of being focussed on molecular and cellular biology

Senate-Board of Undergraduate Studies Form E: COURSE ADDITION (Part I) 2020/2021 Undergraduate Calendar


The Course Addition Information and Template is comprised of two parts. Part I is the information requested below and Part II is the calendar and colleague template. Both must be completed in full in order for the course proposal to be reviewed by the Calendar Review Committee before recommendation for approval to the Board of Undergraduate Studies and Senate. For definition of the terms used on page 2, see the Glossary in the Undergraduate Calendar.

Course Code and Title: MICR*3280 Microbial Cell Biology

Calendar Description:

This course explores the structure-function relationships of macromolecular complexes and cellular ultrastructures involved in fundamental microbial processes. The structures of macromolecular machines will be considered from the perspective of the cellular requirements for survival in different environments and will be discussed in the context of their integration into building the basic elements of the microbial cell, as well as their exploitation as targets for antibiotics and other therapeutic approaches.

1. Provide the detailed learning outcomes of the course. Indicate how these align with major/specialization outcomes and/or program level learning outcomes and whether any of the University's Undergraduate Learning Outcomes are met by the course. If the proposed course will be core to more than one major/specialization or degree program, make reference to each of these. If the proposed course is an elective for multiple specializations/programs, the course learning outcomes should align with one or more of the University of Guelph’s Undergraduate Learning Outcomes. Refer to the Undergraduate Calendar and the Learning Outcomes website for more information on learning outcomes.

Course Learning Outcomes Major/Specialization Learning Outcomes

Degree Program Learning Outcomes

U of G Undergraduate Learning Outcomes

1. Compare and contrast the impact of macromolecular complexes and cellular ultrastructure in relation to essential microbial processes and antimicrobial resistance

Major and Degree Level Learning Outcomes are described in the Degree Learning Outcomes Column.

Within the B.Sc. the degree and major level learning outcomes are combined. As such the major outcomes are not directly aligned to the degree but instead integrated into the degree level outcomes hence why we have addressed all outcomes within the degree column.

• An introductory graduate course, BINF 6410 Bioinformatics Programming, with >25 incoming students is taught each fall. A number of software tools for the two courses overlap. Teaching in the same semester would save considerable time in preparing the infrastructure and exercises for the two classes.

• A number of students are 4th year and have wanted more exposure to this area. If offered in the fall, interested students can take BIOL3040 Methods in Evolutionary Biology and MBG3660 Genomics in the winter.

• adding STAT 2230 would allow in more students from other majors, and help with any transfer students.

REASON FOR REVISION (point form): • Historically, Population Medicine taught this course every other year. The course responsibility alternated between Population

Medicine and Animal Biosciences. Now Population Medicine has been left with sole responsibility, but is under-resourced to deliver this course every year. This proposal offers several advantages: 1. DE revenue can be used to resource the required teaching either through sessional hire or teaching overload, 2. Creates more flexibility for students that may have elective conflicts in the alternate year, 3. Allows students from other universities exposure to the animal health course in preparation for veterinary school application. **NOTE** We wish to change this so that the DE version is offered Fall, 2019

REASON FOR REVISION (point form): • NEUR*3500 builds on concepts presented in MCB*2050 and neurophysiology. To ensure students are adequately

prepared for 3500 we want to ensure students have successfully completed MCB*2050 and at least one physiology course prior to taking NEUR*3500. This has become more obvious with the first offering of the course.

The regulations and procedures for course registration are available in the Undergraduate and Graduate Calendars. Undergraduate Calendar - Dropping Courses https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/undergraduate/current/c08/c08-drop.shtml Graduate Calendar - Registration Changes https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/graduate/current/genreg/genreg-reg-regchg.shtml

7.4 Copies of Out-of-class AssignmentsKeep paper and/or other reliable back-up copies of all out-of-class assignments: you may be asked to resubmit work at any time.

7.5 AccessibilityThe University promotes the full participation of students who experience disabilities in their academic programs. To that end, the provision of academic accommodation is a shared responsibility between the University and the student.

Page 7 of 9


When accommodations are needed, the student is required to first register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Documentation to substantiate the existence of a disability is required; however, interim accommodations may be possible while that process is underway. Accommodations are available for both permanent and temporary disabilities. It should be noted that common illnesses such as a cold or the flu do not constitute a disability. Use of the SAS Exam Centre requires students to book their exams at least 7 days in advance and not later than the 40th Class Day. More information can be found on the SAS website https://www.uoguelph.ca/sas

7.6 Academic IntegrityThe University of Guelph is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, and it is the responsibility of all members of the University community-faculty, staff, and students-to be aware of what constitutes academic misconduct and to do as much as possible to prevent academic offences from occurring. University of Guelph students have the responsibility of abiding by the University's policy on academic misconduct regardless of their location of study; faculty, staff, and students have the responsibility of supporting an environment that encourages academic integrity. Students need to remain aware that instructors have access to and the right to use electronic and other means of detection. Please note: Whether or not a student intended to commit academic misconduct is not relevant for a finding of guilt. Hurried or careless submission of assignments does not excuse students from responsibility for verifying the academic integrity of their work before submitting it. Students who are in any doubt as to whether an action on their part could be construed as an academic offence should consult with a faculty member or faculty advisor.

8.4 Copies of Out-of-class AssignmentsKeep paper and/or other reliable back-up copies of all out-of-class assignments: you may be asked to resubmit work at any time.

8.5 AccessibilityThe University promotes the full participation of students who experience disabilities in their academic programs. To that end, the provision of academic accommodation is a shared responsibility between the University and the student. When accommodations are needed, the student is required to first register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS). Documentation to substantiate the existence of a disability is required; however, interim accommodations may be possible while that process is underway. Accommodations are available for both permanent and temporary disabilities. It should be noted that common illnesses such as a cold or the flu do not constitute a disability. Use of the SAS Exam Centre requires students to book their exams at least 7 days in advance and not later than the 40th Class Day. More information can be found on the SAS website https://www.uoguelph.ca/sas

8.6 Academic IntegrityThe University of Guelph is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity, and it is the responsibility of all members of the University community-faculty, staff, and students-to be aware of what constitutes academic misconduct and to do as much as possible to prevent academic offences from occurring. University of Guelph students have the responsibility of abiding by the University's policy on academic misconduct regardless of their location of study; faculty, staff, and students have the responsibility of supporting an environment that encourages academic integrity. Students need to remain aware that instructors have access to and the right to use electronic and other means of detection. Please note: Whether or not a student intended to commit academic misconduct is not relevant for a finding of guilt. Hurried or careless submission of assignments does not excuse students from responsibility for verifying the academic integrity of their work before submitting it. Students who are in any doubt as to whether an action on their part could be construed as an academic offence should consult with a faculty member or faculty advisor.
