COURSE PROPOSAL

Course Number: HSCI 479-3

Course Title: Seminar in Aging-Related Neurodegenerative Disease

AND

Short - for registration/transcript no more than 30 characters including spaces/punctuation

Seminar in NeuroDisorders

State number of hours for Lect ( ) Sem (3) Tut ( ) Lab ( )

Course Description (for Calendar). Attach a course outline to this proposal.

Molecular

and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of aging-related

neurodegenerative diseases,

and translational, bench-to-bedside, research topics related to

therapeutic strategies and outcomes.

Prerequisite: MHB 331 and HSCI 321.

Corequisite: None

Special Instructions: i.e. does this course replicate the content

the pre-requisite. No

Course(s) to be dropped if this course is approved: None

Rationale for Introduction of this Course:

This seminar course is intended to provide students with concepts and knowledge that bridge

a gap between molecules and population in health science, as well as provide in-depth

understanding of current advances in basic and translational research in neurological

diseases. The creation of this course reflects the enhancement of expertise and student

interest in chronic aging-related diseases by the Faculties of Science and Health Sciences.

This course has a

strong connection with priority areas in the SFU Strategic Research Plan

2010-2015.

Scheduling and Registration Information:

Indicate effective semester/year course would be first offered and planned frequency of offering

thereafter. Spring 2011; Course will be offered once a year.

Course Title: Independent

Laboratory Research

AND

Short - for registration/transcript no more than 30 characters including spaces/punctuation

Independent

Lab Research

State number of hours for Lect ( ) Sem ( ) Tut ( ) Lab (9)

Course Description (for Calendar).

Attach a course outline

to this proposal.

Independent laboratory-based research for the honors thesis.

Three courses, HSCI 490-3, HSCI 492-

3,

and either 491-3, HSCI 493-6, or HSCI 494-9, together form the coursework for the honors thesis.

This 9-credit option

is for students whose research requires close to full-time work in the laboratory

during the semester. Limited to honors students upon written agreement of the faculty supervisor.

Prerequisite:

HSCI 490-3 Research Proposal. Cannot get credit for HSCI 491-3 or lISCI 493-6.

Corequisite: None

Special Instructions: i.e. does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an

extent that students should not receive credit for both courses. If so, this should be noted in the pre-

requisite.

No

Course(s) to be dropped if this course is approved: None

Rationale for Introduction

of this Course:

This independent research course

for 9 credits is intended to allow students doing laboratory-based

research for the honors thesis to get

credit for an extended amount of work. The experience of

instructors who supervise such students is that they put in very long hours, often equivalent to full-

time

work, in the lab while accomplishing the research for the thesis. This and other options for the

honors thesis research provide flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs

of students doing

different projects

of varying scope in many different sub-disciplines.

Scheduling and Registration Information:

Indicate effective semester/year course would be first offered and planned frequency

of offering

thereafter. Fall

2010; Course will be offered at least once a year.

RATIONALE:

This elective is being deleted as part of updating the Health Sciences BA curriculum.

We are replacing it with a 400-level elective, HSCI412 Health Communication, and

moving HSCI 401 Health Promotion: Individuals and Communities to be a 300-level

required course (HSCI 312). HSCI 312 is a logical prerequisite for the new HSCI 412.

The new order of these offerings is more logical than what we have done to date.

Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent

that students should not receive credit for both courses?

If

so, this should be noted

RATIONALE:

HSCI 130, required of all entering HSCI majors and a prerequisite for most courses in

the major, is currently a 3 credit course. It already involves 4 contact hours per week

which, along with the fact that the worldoad is heavy in order to cover the material,

suggests that it be a 4 credit course.

Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent

that students should not receive credit for both courses? If so, this should be noted in the

Behaviour modification strategies and their applications in risk reduction. health promotion.

Prerequisite: 60 units. including either HSCI 130 or KIN 140. Students who have

completed HSCI 401 prior to fall 2010 may not receive credit for,this course.

RATIONALE:

The Health Sciences BA program is shifting several courses around to set up a better

scaffolding system of prerequisites and upper division electives. This course is best

offered at a 300 level, as

it

provides basic content for subsequent courses. The revised

description better reflects the way this course is being taught. This HSCI 312 course will

be a prerequisite for the new HSCI 412 Health Communication course.

Does this course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such an extent that

students should not receive credit for both courses?

If

so, this should be noted in the pre-

requisite.

Since this is essentially the same course that has been taught until now as HSCI 40 1,

students should be able to receive credit for only one ofthern, either HSCI 401 or HSCI

312.

course credit hours for a research-based honors thesis carried out under the direction of

a faculty Supervisor, as follows:

HSCI 490-3 Research Proposal

HSC1491-3 Independent Research or HSCI 493-6 Extended Independent Research

HSCI 492-3 Honours Thesis

or

HSC1490-3 Research Proposal

HSCI 494-9 Independent Laboratory Research

HSCI 492-3 Honours Thesis

RATIONALE

The revised SSc curriculum has two streams. The Life Sciences stream has been

designed to give students a strong training

in core biological disciplines along with

foundation coursework addressing epidemiology and the social determinants of health.

In contrast, the Population and Quantitative Health Sciences stream focllses on

epidemiology and applied modeling for public health. The aim of the revised curriculum

is to provide a rigorous educational experience for

SSc majors and yield graduates with

a multidisciplinary perspective

on human health. The curriculum has been developed in

order to streamline students' progress from lower to upper division coursework, taking

into account the need for building fundamentals and enabling students to enroll in a wide

variety of advanced courses

in the upper division.

We are providing our undergraduate students with two options for completing their ethics

requirement for the major.

HSCI 319W will remain one option, and we are making an

existing course, HSCI 405, a second option for fulfilling this requirement. This will

facilitate

smaller class sizes (we currently have about 150 students taking the 319

course each semester) and more choice for students.

Experience with

SSc honors students has shown that we need greater flexibility in the

courses we require them to take to finish the thesis.

Some need a full semester of

laboratory work, and some less time for their independent research.

Students now have

the option, with

permiSSion of their supervisor, of completing their thesis work with 9, 12,

or 15 units, depending on the arrangement they make with their supervisor.
