LAMS 5310 - Fall 04

Course ID: LAMS 5310
Instructor / Coordinator: Dr. Richard Fayrer-Hosken
Semester: Fall 04

Required elements

  • Principal course assignments:

    • Theriogenology is the practical manipulation of the physiologic mechanisms controlling the reproductive functions. Understanding the basics will allow you to diagnose reproductive disease problems and implement the best resolution with sound economic considerations to the owner. Basic core information for theriogenology will be taught. Core is defined as basic information in theriogenology necessary for graduating veterinarians entering a large animal practice. The information will be covered in lectures and laboratories. Laboratories will provide a practical hands-on method to strengthen and make the lecture material more relevant to today’s practice of veterinary medicine. Senior theriogenology rotation will continue to build on the core concept.

  • Specific course requirements for grading purposes:

    • Laboratories: Attendance at all laboratories is mandatory; absences must be accompanied by written excuse from Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

  • Grading policy:

    • Laboratories: Attendance at all laboratories is mandatory; absences must be accompanied by written excuse from Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. Tests 1. Two examinations will terminate at each section of lectures. Examination 1 (10/5/04) will constitute 55% of the final grade. Examination 2 (10/28/04) will constitute 25% of the final grade. Examination 1 and 2 will produce 80% of the course grade. Weekly tests will be multiple choice, matching, short answer, or True-False format or essay and will constitute 20% of the grade. The examinations will not be cumulative. Any of the material presented in the section to that point can be presented for each test and ultimately the section examination. There is no re-test if you have a failing grade at the end of the course. Any tests missed without an excused note from the Dean’s office will result in a ZERO (0%) grade. 2. Student test absences. If a student misses a test or examination, the student must provide an excused absence from the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. If a satisfactory wtitten excuse is provided, the student will take a make up test or examination by 12:00 noon on the first day the student returns to class. If an unsatisfactory excuse is provided the student will receive a ZERO (0%) for that test or examination. 3. Course Grading: A = 100 – 90% B = 89.99 – 80% C = 79.99 – 70% D = 69.99 – 65% F = < 64.99%

  • Attendance policy:

    • Laboratories: Attendance at all laboratories is mandatory; absences must be accompanied by written excuse from Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

  • Required course material, including texts:

    • Required Texts “Equine Reproduction” edited by AO McKinnon and JL Voss, Lea and Febiger. Suggested Bovine Text “Current Veterinary Theriogenology”, 3rd edition, D. Youngquist, Saunders Notes Usage: Notes are designed to gide the student into an area of study, not to give a complete coverage of the subject. Reprints: At various times the student will be referred to reprints of pertinent articles from scientific journals. They will be available in the Learning Center and may be checked out for overnight use.

  • Policy for make-up of examinations:
