COMPMED 10SC Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of Mammals


Donna Bouley Department of Comparative Medicine Prerequisite: Animal dissection will be required.


labs, and student presentations. Using a comparative approach, we will investigate the unique adaptations of species in terms of their morphological, anatomical, and behavioral characteristics. We will study how these species interact with their own and other species (including humans) and discuss basic evolution and the devastating impact of habitat destruction on wild animals. This class will provide students with a deeper appreciation for the diversity of the mammalian orders, along with the fundamentals of comparative anatomy, physiology, and basic dissection techniques. In addition to dissection labs, Dr. Bouley has a large collection of skulls, bones, and plastinated organs that will facilitate learning mammalian anatomy. A field trip to a local zoo will enable students to appreciate behavior and locomotion of assorted mammals in their “native” habitats. Course assignments: There will be one exam, one short presentation on an evolutionary topic, and one final PowerPoint presentation on a human/animal or animal/ animal interaction or conflict. The presentations will highlight animals from the students’ assigned mammalian orders.

W


hat influence do political ideologies have in American politics and government? In this course, students will


study liberal and conservative ideology in American politics and public policy from the mid-20th century onward. The course begins with an examination of ideology in the American public and then considers ideology among political activists and elected officials, focusing on members of Congress and the president. The course will also cover the ideological polarization of political elites and its impact on the policy- making process. In the final part of the course, through a series of policy case studies, students will also evaluate how well certain public policies have met the ideological goals of their liberal and conservative sponsors. The course will include several lunches and dinners with guest speakers.
