Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Women’s reproduction differs in key traits from other mammalian females including continuous rather than seasonal ovulation, lack of estrous, and a radically invasive placenta. Students will research these reproductive features, explore their evolutionary origins, how social and physical factors modulate their expression and their consequences for maternal and child health. Students who have taken HSCI 471 under this topic in Fall 2019, Fall 2017, and Fall 2010 may not take this course for further credit.
Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
