Courses constituting the field of Ecology

1Students may apply a maximum of 9 units from independent project courses numbered 507, 528 and 530 towards their major field; of these 9 units, students are permitted a maximum of 6 units of independent project courses labelled as 507 offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.

2A maximum of 6 units of such courses may be counted towards the field.

3Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Approval will have to be granted on an individual basis. Check the list published by the Department each February.

4No more than 6 units of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the major field.

Ecology Co-operative Education

See the subsection on Co-operative Education/Internship Programs in Section 3 (Faculty Regulations) for information on applying. Students should also review the major section on "Co-operative Education/Internship" of this Calendar.

Co-operative Education programs are five-year degree programs that include 12 to 16 months of supervised work experience in various industrial and government workplaces. Minimally, students must be in their second year in the Biological Sciences program with a grade point average of 2.30 before applying for admission to the BSc Ecology Co-operative Education program. A grade point average of 3.30 is required for entry into the BSc Honours Ecology Co-operative Education program. In addition, students must complete the courses outlined for the second year of the Ecology program with the same minimum grade point average before commencing the first co-operative education placement (the summer following second year).

Required Courses

120 units - Same as Ecology Majors or Honours

12 months - Co-operative Education work terms (Co-operative Education 543.01, 543.02, 543.03)

Work Term Assessment

The mandatory work term courses, Co-operative Education 543.01, 543.02, 543.03 and the optional course, Co-operative Education 543.04, are graded on a credit (CR) or fail (F) basis. A positive assessment requires satisfactory performance on each of the following items:
Ìý
(a) The Co-operative Education Co-ordinator's evaluation of job performance, which is based on an on-site visit where practical.

(b) The employer's evaluation of job performance.

(c) The student's self-assessment of job performance and the overall job experience, which is normally based on participation in a debriefing or integrative session.

(d) A work term report prepared by the student and evaluated by the Faculty.

Notes:

  • The Faculty may approve registration in Co-operative Education 543.04 in conjunction with an optional (fourth) work term.
  • All courses in the common second-year program must be completed prior to the start of the first work term.
  • Students should consult the Ecology Co-op Co-ordinator and Co-operative Education and Internship Co-ordinator for program planning.
