This is a project-based course that introduces the theory and practical practice of art and design in digital media. As an introductory course to IAT, this course teaches the basics of visual, sequential, and 2D animation design. Students learn the basics of digital photography and vector image creation. The theory is contextualized in contemporary new media design practice and is widely applicable across disciplines. General Humanities. * Students can count other courses as BPK electives. This course explores the theory and application of nutrition for fitness and sports. Students will explore issues related to commonly promoted dietary practices to improve performance, including mechanisms, efficacy, risks, and prescriptions. Students gain skills to critically evaluate nutrition research and nutritional evidence and apply them in several small group projects that explore specific nutritional issues and products. Prerequisite: BPK 105 (or 205) and 110. Students with a BPK 424 loan cannot take this course for other loans.
Each concentration within the BS begins with a foundation in science, mathematics and kinesiology and a series of mandatory core courses aimed at progressively developing students` knowledge of movement, skills and physical activity. Investigates how mammalian brain plasticity affects development, learning, and adaptation, such as blindness, poverty, stress, and technology. By reading 2-4 scientific articles per week, students learn important contexts such as peer review and strengthen their ability to read and communicate like a scientist. Prerequisite: BPK 306 or BISC 305. Students who have completed BPK 423 Neuroplasticity cannot take this course for other loans. An ADT consists of a total of 60 units and, in most cases, involves completion of all general education requirements in the lower division and at least 18 units in a particular major. (AS-T degrees in biology, chemistry, and environmental sciences carry forward 3 units in lower PG C and 3 units in lower PG D until after transfer.) Students pursuing an ADT are guaranteed admission to CSU if the minimum requirements are met, but not necessarily on the CSU campus of first choice. A complete list of all approved academic courses in Grades 11 and 12 can be found here.
Admission is based on an assessment of all approved Grade 11 and 12 courses, with an emphasis on List A courses. The dialogue component of the dialogue semester immerses students in the art and practice of thought and communication. The focus is on strategies and methods to understand different perspectives. Students will have the opportunity to broaden their oral and written communication skills and explore dialogue as an evolving academic field. Prerequisites: 45 pieces. Students must apply before the semester they wish to enroll. Students may be accepted into the Summer Institute in Dialogue (COMIAL 390W and 391W, 10 units) or the semester in Dialogue (Fall or Spring semester, COMAL 390W, 391W and 392W, 15 units), but not both. Students with a loan for COMAL 393 cannot take this course for other loans. Simon Fraser University students applying for admission to the kinesiology major must take the following courses with a grade of C – or better.
atomic and molecular structure; chemical bonding; Thermochemistry; Elements; Periodic table; Liquid gases, solids and solutions. This course includes a laboratory component. Prerequisites: Chemistry 12 with a minimum grade of C or CHEM 109 or 111 with a minimum grade of C-. Students with a loan of 120 or 125 CHEM cannot take this course for other loans. Quantitative/popular science. Force and motion, conservation of energy and momentum, fluids, soft matter properties and thermal physics with life science applications. Prerequisite: BC Principles of Physics 12 or PHYS 100 or equivalent, with a minimum grade of C-. This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the department, depending on the student`s performance on a regular PHYS 100 final exam.
