VET SC 7011RW - Veterinary Clinical Pathology and Theriogenology

Roseworthy Campus - Semester 1 - 2017

This course will provide students with a knowledge and understanding of clinical pathology and theriogenology. Students will gain the ability to recognise, diagnose, and treat clinical conditions affecting the reproductive system of domestic animals. In addition, they will be able to interpret the results from laboratory exams that aid in the diagnosis of diseases affecting domestic animals.

  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes

    This course will be delivered by the following means:

    3 x 1hr lectures, 1 x 1 hr tutorial, 1 x 3hr practicals per week

    There will be elements of on-line assessment available through the relevant MyUni page

    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    A student enrolled in a 3 unit course, such as this, should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required. This includes both the formal contact time required to the course (e.g., lectures and practicals), as well as non-contact time (e.g., reading and revision).
    Learning Activities Summary

    The course content will include the following:

     The course is divided into 2 modules: Clinical Pathology andTheriogenology.

    It requires significant self-directed learning from each student, with guidance provided by the instructors. Lectures will provide some of the most pertinent information whilst practicals and/or tutorials are designed to reinforce this material and demonstrate its application.

    Theriogenology will include anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the reproductive system of domestic animals. Recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of common clinical conditions affecting domestic species will be covered.

     Clinical Pathology will introduce laboratory methbds for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Methods to be introduced include: haemotology, Biochemistry, unrinalysis, faecal examination, endocrinology, cytology, and fluid analysis

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Detail

    Theriogenology & Clinical Pathology TBL/Practical quizzes (30%) will be held during practicals or TBL sessions. These quizzes will assess the understanding of the practical or TBL sessions.

     In class written tests. Tests will be held within both the clinical pathology (15%) and theriogenology (15%) modules. These tests will address understanding of the material presented and will provide students with a benchmark for their progress.

     Final theory exam (40%). The final theory exam will have two components: Theriogenology (50% of the exam) and Clinical Pathology (50% of the exam).

    Submission

    If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A mark of zero will be allocated to late submitted assessment.

    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
