08F: 11 09W: 2 09S: 12 09F, 10W, 10S: Arrange This course is a sequel to Mathematics 8 and provides an introduction to calculus of vector-valued functions. Topics include differentiation and integration of parametrically defined functions with interpretations of velocity, acceleration, arclength and curvature. Other topics include iterated, double, triple and surface integrals including change of coordinates. The remainder of the course is devoted to vector fields, line integrals, Green's theorem, curl and divergence, and Stokes' theorem.Prerequisite: Mathematics 8 or equivalent. Note: First-year students who have received two terms on the BC exam generally should take Mathematics 11 instead. On the other hand, if the student has had substantial exposure to multivariable techniques, they are encouraged to take a placement exam during orientation week to determine if placement into Mathematics 13 is more appropriate. Dist: QDS. Gordon (fall), Orellana (winter), an Heuf (spring).

08F: Arrange Offered in alternate years Advanced immunology including contemporary topics of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Development and differentiation, lymphoid sub-populations, cell cooperation, cytokines, immunogenetics and major histocompatibility restriction, antigen receptor systems, antigen processing pathways, clinical aspects, including the interactions of retroviruses, particularly the AIDS (HIV) virus, with the immune system, and the use of immunologic systems to study gene regulation, receptor-ligand interactions, and other fundamental molecular processes. Lectures and discussion. Prerequisite: Biochemistry 102 or an equivalent, or permission of the instructor. Noelle and associates.

09S: Arrange Offered in alternate years This course will consider the structure, organization and function of the human genome, with an emphasis on how human genetics will develop now that the genome of humans and many other organisms have been sequenced. The mouse and other model organisms will also be discussed in regard to how they may genetically differ or be similar to humans. The course will have two sessions a week (110 minute sessions). Each session will cover a specific topic and for most sessions the topic will be presented by one of the students enrolled in the course. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Fiering.

3.00 Credits
10S: Arrange Offered in alternate years This course will consider both basic scientific and therapeutic aspects of three important areas of immunology: vaccination, tumor immunology, and autoimmunity. The vaccination module will consider current vaccination strategies and new advances in vaccinology. The tumor immunology module will consider the challenges of tumor antigen identification and mechanism of delivery to the immune system to combat malignancies. Autoimmunity will be discussed to describe basic mechanisms behind the disease and what can be done to modulate the immune response to prevent or treat such diseases. Sessions will consist of a faculty-lead discussion of the primary literature relating to each topic, interspersed with student lead presentations on selected areas. Prerequisite: A previous immunology course and/or permission of an instructor. Usherwood and associates.

1.50 - 2.00 Credits
09F: Arrange Offered in alternate years An advanced course in molecular pathogenesis with emphasis on genetic aspects of host-microbe interactions and modern model genetic systems for the study of important human pathogens. Each session will begin with a 50- to 80-minute lecture pertaining to the topic area and will be followed by a 1.5- to 2-hour discussion of current papers (assigned reading) pertaining to the topic area. Discussion of the assigned reading for a particular session centers around a set of questions developed by the student presenter in collaboration with the instructor and based upon a short written report that the student has prepared on the topic. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. Bzik, Cheung, and associates.

09F: Arrange Offered in alternate years This course uses the discussion of emerging model systems to illustrate important concepts in microbiology. The format will combine lectures and the discussion of primary literature/review articles-similar to the format of the Molecular Pathogenesis course (M/I 148). An important goal of the course is to introduce graduate students to potential topics for post-doctoral research and to some of the faculty that work in these areas. Each course period will focus on an individual topic in some depth. Students will present a one-hour lecture followed by leading a one-hour discussion of papers related to the topic of the day. Students will be expected to present papers in one class (which have been selected and compiled), and discuss these papers in the context of material covered in the lecture portion of the class. Guests will include 2-3 people from the Microbiology and Immunology Seminar Series who work on model systems discussed in the class. The schedule of the course will be arranged such that the papers are discussed the week before the visiting speaker's seminar. The students will meet with the speaker immediately after the seminar for an informal discussion and reception. Attending this discussion/reception will be required for the students in the class, but open to any students that want to attend.Prerequisite: permission of the instructor. O'Toole and Hogan.

09W: 2A This course will focus on the molecular features of fungi and parasites that form the basis of strategies for adhering to and invading human host cells and tissues. The difficulties associated with development of drugs that neutralize eukaryotic fungi and parasites but do not harm mammalian cells, heighten the importance of research on fungi and parasites and emphasize the unique aspects of eukaryotic pathogens compared to bacteria. Fungi, which are major pathogens in AIDS and other immunosuppressed patients, and parasites, such as malaria, which devastate human populations world-wide, will be emphasized. Sundstrom.

All terms: Arrange This course is required for all graduate students, based on the assertion that an essential element of graduate education is the experience gained in teaching other students. Such teaching experience is of particular relevance to students interested in academic careers. Students will conduct laboratory or discussion sessions in undergraduate courses under the supervision of the course faculty. The faculty and student teaching assistant work very closely to develop lab and discussion assignments. In some cases, the students are encouraged to present lectures for which they receive detailed feedback on their teaching style. In all cases students will receive instruction on effective teaching techniques through weekly preparation sessions. Topics for discussion include how to teach the material, how to run a discussion, how to evaluate student responses, and grading. Performance will be monitored throughout the term and appropriate evaluation, coupled with detailed suggestions for improvement, will be provided. This course is not open to undergraduates. Prerequisite: At least one year of graduate study. Staff of the Program.
