Objectives:

• Develop problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrate the ability to write professionally and accurately.
• Demonstrate the ability to organize and orally present and facilitate a case discussion.
• Develop insights about the clnical and applied importance of functional anatomy.

Course Mechanics:

This course is designed to provide an opportunity for graduate students to utilize a case-based approach to understanding the concepts of domestic animal anatomy. In addition, students will experience problem-based learning. This course is complementary to lecture and laboratory material in BMS 531 (Domestic Animal Anatomy). Concurrent enrollment in BMS 531 and prior enrollment in BMS 231 are required (unless approved by instructor).

This course consists of one hour of problem-based case discussions per week. Though topics will roughly parallel those in BMS 531 (schedule attached), the course will be directed by student-lead case reports; thus, the syllabus has not yet been established. Attendance is required. Students will present a case and turn in a writen report.

Criteria for Grading:	Points:
Participation in Discussion	25
Case Report and Presentation	100
-- conducted in pairs
-- presentation 50 points
-- report 50 points
TOTAL POINTS	125

The following grading scale will be used to determine the final grade in this course:

>90%	A
80-89%	B
70-79%	C
60-69%	D
