3 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Enrollments Enrollments in Biology programs relatively stable (Figure 1 on page 5) Enrollments in Biology courses increase (Figure 2 on page 6) Acute pressure on our laboratories: between 1996 and 2001, the number of students hours in labs increased by 25% (Table 2 on page 7). Projections for 2002-2003 suggest a further 30% increase, and that before the arrival of the double cohort

Faculty Department

9 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendation 1: Articulation of objectives (skills) Individuals involved in the delivery of BIO programs participate in a retreat to –1) evaluate the extent to which the program objectives are attained within each stream and –2) identify remedial actions necessary to improve our programs.

10 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendation 2: Language skills That we develop a mechanism to improve student’s mastery of their main language. Such a mechanism will probably involve formal training beyond the framework already provided in laboratories, and incorporation of more write-rewrite exercices

11 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendation 3: Contents That we reexamine both the content and the articulation of this content among courses.

12 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Instruction hours for Honours in Ecology

13 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendations 4, 13: Labs That we reassess the role and effectiveness of laboratories in the context of the development of general skills and that we consider the introduction of tutorials focusing on these skills. That needs for teaching laboratory space be reassessed taking into account the desirable increase in laboratory/tutorial hours in BIO programs.

14 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendation 5: Bilingualism That the Honours degree be designed for students whose career plans aim at continued studies and research in Biology, while the Concentration degree is designed for those with other career paths. –All courses required for the Concentration degree could be offered in both languages, and advanced courses for the Honours degree would be offered only in English. –This would recognize both the linguistic mandate of the University, and the reality of research in Biology

15 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendations 6, 7: Seminars, sessionals That speakers selection and scheduling for seminars take more into consideration the needs and interests of undergraduate students, and that we explore the possibilities to link undergraduate courses to seminars. That we explore arrangements with scientists in the region to better tap their expertise and thus enrich our program.

16 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendations 8-11: Student advising That all errors in the data used by the online system be corrected immediately, and that obsolete information be removed from the University web. That we examine avenues to better communicate the structure and goals of our program to students as soon as they enter the university, maybe by having a workshop during orientation week. That advising documents be prepared, minimally for each of the 3 major streams, and that they be published on the department web site. That information about BIO course outlines be included in the redesign of the departmental web page to occur in 2002-2003.

18 2002 Program review Undergraduate programs committee 2015-10-22 01:19 Recommendation 12: Class size That class sizes for at least some 3000 and 4000 level courses in each stream be reduced, for example by creating multiple sections, in order to facilitate discussions and oral presentations.
