Group discussions of clinical cases and clinical applications relevant to human physiology.

The objective of this course is to provide the basic physiological mechanisms of human body function and physiological integration of the organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Students will be learning what the different organ systems do and how they do it. With this knowledge a student should be able to form a general understanding of how the body functions in health and disease. The general purpose of the lectures is to reinforce and expand upon the material presented in the text, with a focus on concepts and problem solving skills.

This course aims at the development of an integrative conception of the human organism, and involves the study of medical case histories. The complex network of physiologic interactions which underlie disease states is investigated. The physiologic bases of health, illness, dying, and death are explored. May be repeated to a maximum of three credits.

Special topical or experimental courses in crop science, soil science or related areas of horticulture, or plant physiology for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Special subtitle required and must be approved by the chair of Agronomy or Horticulture. A particular subtitle may be offered twice under PLS 597. Students may not repeat under the same subtitle.

A study of theoretical models and methodological strategies for teaching science at the middle school level. This course will include a critical analysis of a variety of objectives, instructional materials and strategies, and evaluation techniques for middle school science. Special needs of individuals in a diverse middle school population are emphasized. This course is in conjunction with a four-week field experience, consisting of 2 two-week placements in the candidate's areas of content concentration.

Students will be challenged to think creatively, expand cognitive development, perception, self-expression, and sensory awareness through research and rich studio experiences. Aesthetic knowledge and skills will provide students with a pathway to learning in art that integrates prior knowledge with new experiences which enhance creative learning through discovery, discussion, and collaboration.

A lecture-laboratory course that explores and analyzes concepts in the visual arts and examines how these concepts might be used to improve and enhance learning opportunities in the visual arts and in various disciplines for elementary students.

Supervised individual research, practicum, and field experience leading to the development of art education curriculum theory, and teaching techniques appropriate for various populations and conditions. A learning contract will be submitted to both the department and to the office of the dean at the time of registration. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

An examination of educational techniques and practices of learning in a museum setting. The course will focus on educational theories, learning styles and techniques, audiences, educational materials and outreach strategies that will prepare students for successful professional careers in museum education.

Focusing on the study of perceptual and aesthetic development of elementary age children, this course provides field and practicum experiences that utilize methods and materials appropriate to the teaching of art in the elementary school. Topics include: curriculum design, lesson planning, teaching skills, classroom safety and assessment. Lecture, demonstrations, micro-teaching, laboratory and studio experiences are integrated into the class design.
