Open Choice means any course that fulfils the degree requirements. Many students choose to select a Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (FAHSS) course in the first year.
EDUC 1199: This 1.0 credit course is required for this Concurrent Education major, but it will be added automatically to your course schedule later in the summer. Please select five courses now from your teachable subject area(s). The addition of EDUC-1199 will not create a course overload.

Various other Science or Arts and Social Science courses count toward a degree. Seek program advising for more information. Email scienceundergrad@uwindsor.ca for an appointment or electronic advice.
1 Students who “have” credit for MCV4U Calculus and Vectors should register in MATH 1720 and MATH 1250; those who” do not” have this credit should register in MATH 1760 and MATH 1260.
Teachable areas may be Chemistry, Biology or Physics. Normally, the teachables are used toward the two areas of concentration in the Faculty of Science General Program. Students should consult the Faculty of Education website for a list of teachables.
In person advising regarding the General Science component of the program or course selection is available at the Faculty of Science office. All students are encouraged to seek advising regularly. Email” scienceundergrad@uwindsor.ca for an appointment or to ask your question(s) electronically. Some advising can be done remotely.
All students should see advisors in the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Education on a regular basis to discuss course selection and academic progress.
This course introduces fundamental computer programming principles and structured programming concepts, with an emphasis on good programming. Stages of the software development cycles are introduced: analysis, design, implementation, debugging and deployment. May not be used to fulfill the major requirements of any major or joint major in Computer Science, except fro the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT program.) (3 lecture hours).
This course is the first of a two-course sequence designed to introduce students to algorithm design and programming in a high-level language such as C. The main objectives of the course are to develop the ability to identify, understand and design solutions to a wide variety of problems. Topics include: computer system overview, hardware and software, problem solving steps, concepts of variables, constants, data types, algorithmic structure, sequential logic, decisions, loops, modular programming, one-dimensional arrays, text files. If possible, problems like searching/sorting will be addressed. (3 lecture hours and 1.5 laboratory hours a week).
The course provides students with directed experience in a community service organization such as a service club, a youth club or group, a national park or conservation area, or a science museum. The Faculty of Education Field Experience Office will arrange the Community Service Field Placements, where applicable. Workshops and seminars will prepare students for the Community Service Field Placements and introduce students to the Professional Year Applicant Portfolio as a means of documenting and reflecting on professional learning and practice in the teaching profession. (Open only to students in the Modern Languages, French, English Language and Literature, History, Drama, Visual Art, General Science and Mathematics I/S Concurrent Education programs). (This is an experiential learning course.)
An introduction to microeconomics intended to provide students with the tools necessary to begin to understand and evaluate how resources are allocated in a market economy. Specific topics include how markets function, theories of the business firm, of consumer behaviour and of income distribution. The economic roles of labour unions and government are also covered. The theories are applied to contemporary Canadian economic problems.
This course will cover trigonometric functions and identities, inverse trigonometric functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, mean value theorem, indeterminate forms and l’Hôpital’s rule, antiderivatives and an introduction to definite integrals. This course is for students who have taken both Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U). Students who do not have credit for MCV4U should take MATH-1760. (Prerequisites: Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or MATH-1780.) (Antirequisite: MATH-1760.) (3 lecture hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.)
This course will cover a review of functions, trigonometric functions and identities, transcendental functions, inverse trigonometric functions, introduction to limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, mean value theorem, indeterminate forms and l’Hôpital’s rule, antiderivatives and an introduction to definite integrals. This course is for students who have taken Ontario Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U), but have not taken Ontario Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U).
