Textbooks: Avian Disease Manual, fifth edition, edited
by B. Charlton et al.
Course Objectives: Develop a basic
understanding of avian diseases and their prevention and treatment.
Grades: Grades will be based on performance on examinations.
The total number of points assigned to each activity is as follows:
1.
Exam 1: 250 points
2.
Exam 2: 250 points
3.
Quizzes: 250 points
4. Final: 250 points
Approximately
10 unannounced quizzes will be given towards the end of the lectures. These quizzes may contain information from
up to 4 previous lectures. They will
be comprised of 5 multiple choice questions worth 5 points each. The goal of the quizzes is to encourage regular
review of the material. A significant
portion of the material is not covered in the Avian Disease Manual. Regular attendance at lectures is essential
to succeed and do well in the course.
The
final examination will cover material from the last 12 lectures.
Office hours of course coordinator: There are no
set office hours. Students can call
or email to make an appointment with questions or concerns.
Academic integrity: Academic integrity, as defined by University Faculty
Senate Policy 49-20, is the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud
and deception and is an educational objective of this institution. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited
to, cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating of information or citations, facilitating
acts of academic dishonesty by others, having unauthorized possession of examinations,
submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing
the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of other students.
