Course Introduction
(refer to Syllabus)
"The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others."
Tyron Edwards

Teaching Goals To teach you facts and principles of
gross anatomy of large domestic animals.
Helping you to think and apply what you already know.
To prepare you for your eventual use of anatomical knowledge in your veterinary career.
To help you develop the ability to work effectively and efficiently in a team setting.
Learning Objectives To learn terms, facts, concepts and
theories of gross anatomy. To build an anatomical vocabulary that will
allow you to communicate with other students, teachers and future clients.
To appreciate the practical relationship between gross anatomy and other areas of veterinary practice.
To develop the ability to apply principles and concepts you have already learned to new problems and situations, and to make reasonable inferences from your observations.
Learning Objectives To understand and visualize the three-
dimensional structure of the whole animal body.
To develop an attitude of responsibility for your own learning, and a commitment to becoming a life-long learner.
To cultivate an attitude of cooperation with and respect for your classmates and instructors as we all endeavor to help you meet these goals.
Philosophy You are preparing to be professionals:
Knowledge base (this class). Ability to apply that knowledge, and to
make reasonable conclusions from available data (observations, clinical signs, physical examination)
Ability to conduct yourself in a compassionate and professional manner in response to varied circumstances and personalities (working in groups in this class is a start to your learning in this area…)
Philosophy Teaching ≠ Learning
It is mostly what YOU do, not what WE do, that determines learning outcomes.
Teaching: “to give instruction to, as by example; to help to learn”
Learning: “knowledge acquired by systematic study”
Schedule Class meets at 1:00 on Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Lecture for the first hour (approximate). Lab is 3 hours.
There is a daily assignment/topic list in the syllabus. You should adhere to the schedule. READ assignment before class.
The lecturer for the day is indicated on the schedule. It is subject to revision if necessary. There are some guest lectures scheduled
that are not reflected in the syllabus hard copy.
Guest Lectures: March 5: Dr. Laura Armbrust, radiology of the
equine carpus/tarsus. March 26: Dr. Beth Davis, clinical anatomy of
equine limbs April 23: Dr. David Anderson, clinical anatomy
of ruminants. April 30: Dr. Steve Dritz, porcine clinical
anatomy May 3: Dr. David Anderson, clinical anatomy
of camelids. Error in syllabus: this lecture starts at 1:00, because
the TEVALs will be online. There may be one other.
Tests and quizzes: There is a quiz approximately
every other day beginning with second class (tomorrow). Quiz EMPHASIS is lab material, but
expect integration with lecture. Quiz starts at 4:15.
Written tests are held on Fridays according to the schedule in the syllabus.
General Comment About Quiz Content I try very hard to only ask you about
material covered in the current assignment or previously.
As there is some overlap of material in the assignments, it sometimes happens that you get asked something one day that is covered (again) in a later assignment.
If you feel you have been asked something NOT already covered, or that is not review from last semester, let me know.
Lectures Lectures and lab assignments are
integrated in this course. We try to use lecture time for things
that are more difficult to learn in the lab, or to learn on your own. You should READ before class to help you
follow the lecture and complete the assignment.
We may not cover every point of the assignment in the lecture.
Anything in the assigned dissection, readings or lectures may be on any quiz or test.
Attendance We do not take attendance, but you are
expected to attend class every day. You should be here and ready for lecture at
1:00. This is a professional courtesy to me, to the other lecturers, and to your classmates.
You should not allow yourself or your group to get behind – remember the quiz schedule.
No make-up quizzes will be given for absences on quiz days. You get to drop your lowest 2 scores, and
have several chances for extra credit. There is a provision in the syllabus for
making up a quiz score you may miss, by writing a 20-point paper, if you do not want to use it as a dropped score.
Grading Straight scale: 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% 1000 points for the course:
400 from 20 quizzes 22 total; only top 20 scores counted
400 from 4 hourly written examinations 200 from written final exam
Opportunity for up to 45 points extra credit (NOT 1000 as it says in the syllabus): 10 points (5 each) from the Background
Knowledge Probe and post test Up to 7 points each exams – see syllabus. Exam
1 will have a group exam option; other exams have explaining your errors as an option.
Academic Dishonesty Will not be tolerated if detected. For more information, refer to the
relevant sections in the KSU CVM Student/Faculty Handbook.
Quiz concerns: no talking during quizzes; keep your answers protected; no studying while other groups take the quiz.
Palpation Pony Pony (“Snowflake”) is available
every day from 2:30 – 4:30 beginning next week. Location: by cooler outside West wing. Make maximum use of the time you
have with the pony. See if you can feel the things you identify on the cadaver.
We will have one live horse quiz at the end of the equine section. Date is in syllabus; specific wing schedule will be announced later.
Laboratory Safety
Laboratory Safety Specimens, hooks
and/or very heavy bars can fall off the overhead rails and crack your skull! Don’t play with or
hang on the trolleys.
Use caution at corners and at the junctions in the rails.
Laboratory Safety Sharps – in the container. NO EATING in the laboratory.
(College policy.) Maintain professional appearance
and decorum. Cleanliness – clean and mop every
day. Sandy Hickman will provide supplies.
Report defective facilities and broken or damaged specimens.
“Clickers” (Audience Response System) The college now has an audience
response system in each lecture room. We are going to use it a lot.
Take a break for 5 minutes, and pick up a clicker when you get ready to sit back down again.
