Students will learn a very structured method/approach to writing scientific papers beginning with use of their their own data (in figure or table format) brought to class and step by step construction of scientific information that will result in a manuscript, thesis, dissertation or planning document.

This course is a 1 credit discovery-based research tutorial experience emphasizing animal models.

This course is a 1 credit discovery-based research tutorial experience emphasizing cellular and molecular approaches.

Students gain advanced experience in teaching all aspects of Animal Science courses. The learning objectives of AnSci 496T include the clear oral communication of scientific information, the formation of good pedagogical practice, and the design of assessment tools.

This course explores comparative reproductive biology in wildlife and domesticated animals. Topics will include: conservation techniques to solve problems of environmental change and international development; human-wildlife conflict; reproductive cycles in wild animals; reproductive technologies; pharmacological and physical restraint; capture methods and transport. Management of wildlife in national parks, game reserves and zoos.

This course will include labs/hands-on experience; protocol completion and peer reviews; in-depth rodent strains and characteristics, breeding schemes, environmental enrichments and identification methods; humane care, handling, and management of primates, frogs, and fish used in research; routine techniques and practices for each species used in the labs.
