This course introduces the practice of critical, engaged pedagogy, and trains students in a methodology of facilitating academically rigorous, community-engaged learning circles in the context of the university. The aim of critical teaching/learning is to promote the practice of critical solidarity, justice and community. Through this course, students will learn to apply theoretical concepts of critical pedagogy as they develop specific skills in preparation for acting as peer facilitators of critical, self-reflective learning about structural injustice and community organizing.

Students will gain experience using an on-line research database capture program (REDCap) and participate in all aspects of an ongoing study of canine tumors. Both data management and wet lab skills will be practiced throughout the semester. Data management skills will include field collection of electronic data with REDCap, organization and archiving of biological samples with an electronic database, analysis of data with EXCEL, data presentation with graphs, tables and figures.
