AMST 4301 - The Rabinor Seminar
Spring. 4 credits. Student option grading.
Co-meets with ENGL 4675 .
G. Hutchinson.
The Rabinor Seminar explores the role of diversity in the formation of a distinct American tapestry. The specific topic varies each year, but the general subject is the promise and experience of pluralism.
Title for Spring 2016: The Jazz Age.
This seminar will focus on the literature and culture of the “Jazz Age,” with a special focus on the intersections of “high” and “low” cultures, inter-ethnic and inter-racial interaction, and testing of the mores governing gender and sexuality in the period roughly from the end of World War I to the 1940s. One major theme will be the uses of improvisation across many spheres of art and action, including music, visual art, and literature. Most of the course will focus on literary texts, including a number that use or refer to jazz music, but we will also learn some things about early jazz performance itself and its musicians and clubs. This is also a course about “Modernism”—cubism, for example, and Abstract Expressionism. The course is organized by genre, and will include discussion of various kinds of modernist experimentation in the visual arts as well as fiction, drama, and poetry.

AMST 4313 - [The Beautiful Struggle: Radical Aesthetics and Politics] (crosslisted) ENGL 4313
Not offered 2017-2018. 4 credits. Student option grading.
Permission of instructor required.
B. Maxwell.
Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful, struggle for a new world. The course will begin from the declaration made by Martin Luther King, Jr. that the struggle for a new world, inevitably political, is also beautiful, that is, that it is involved with aesthetics. “The struggle is beautiful, I’m too strong for your slavery,” raps Talib Kweli, thirty-seven years after King’s speech. What did King mean, and what have others in American culture meant, when they invoked beauty and struggle in the same breath? What have the arts and radical politics had to do with each other? When have radical politics and experimental aesthetics needed each other? We will work with all forms of the arts; discussion will figure heavily in this effort; political and aesthetic theory will surface regularly.

ANSC 2210 - Principles of Animal Genetics
(OPHLS-AG)
Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.
Prerequisite: two semesters of college-level biology.
H. Huson.
This course focuses on the genetic foundation and improvement of domestic species. Basic cellular biology and DNA replication will lay the groundwork for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying traits, modern genomic tool development, and analysis methods. Critical thinking towards animal breeding and management will require an understanding of heritability, population dynamics, rate of selection, and genetic and economic gain. Software and reference programs will be used to investigate animal genes and genomes, individual genotypes through DNA sequence or whole-genome marker panels, and statistical associations between traits and genetic markers. Modern examples, practical applications, and hands-on tools will be key components of this class in order to appreciate the intricacies of genetics and the future of genomic research for the improvement and management of animals.
Outcome 1: Explain basic genetic principles including DNA replication and mutations, Mendelian inheritance, codominance, epistatis, and complex traits and how these factors effect phenotypic traits.
Outcome 2: Ability to interpret modern genotyping techniques, data generated, and analytical methods to critically evaluate research and identify significant details, research integrity, and outcomes.
Outcome 3: Ability to critically evaluate a population for decision making by calculating genotype and allele frequencies and using factors such as inbreeding, hybrid vigor, effective population size, and genetic drift as guidance.
Outcome 4: Evaluate the pros and cons of selection schemes for implementing genetic improvement in livestock and domestic animals.
Outcome 5: Application of genetic principles towards the improvement of the health and production of livestock and domestic animals.

Separate laboratory is offered to demonstrate fundamental aspects of reproduction and reproductive technology.
Outcome 1: Compare species differences in various aspects of reproductive form and function.
Outcome 2: Recognize and recommend corrective measures for causes of infertility and reproductive dysfunction.
Outcome 3: Propose the physiological basis for existing and emerging reproductive technologies such as estrous cycle regulation, gamete and embryo preservation and transfer, in vitro fertilization and related technologies, and pregnancy diagnosis.

ANSC 2410 - Animal Reproduction and Development Lab
(OPHLS-AG)
Spring. 1 credit. Letter grades only.
Prerequisite or corequisite: ANSC 2400 . Enrollment limited to: 30 students per laboratory.
J. Allen.
Demonstrates fundamental principles and applied aspects of mammalian and avian reproduction. A limited number of live animals are used in some demonstrations. Dissection and examination of tissues from vertebrate animals are included in selected laboratories.
Outcome 1: Describe the comparative functional reproductive anatomy and histology across a range of domestic and companion animals, wildlife species, and humans.
Outcome 2: Describe endocrine organs and tissues and relate their developmental and functional influence on reproductive structure and function.
Outcome 3: Explain the developmental, structural, and physiological changes in male and female germ cells required for gamete transport, fertilization, and early embryo development.
Outcome 4: Evaluate the basis for reproductive technologies and their potential impact on genetic improvement, reproductive efficiency, and species conservation.
Outcome 5: Explain fundamental cryobiological principles as they relate to cryopreservation of gametes, embryos, and somatic tissues for subsequent use in a broad range of reproductive technologies.
Outcome 6: Compare species differences in placental development and function and relate differences to support of embryo and fetal development and mechanisms of parturition.

ANSC 2550 - Dairy Study Trip to Italy
(CU-ITL)
Fall. 1 credit. R grade only (in progress).
Permission of instructor required. Preference is given to freshmen, sophomores and transfer students in Animal Science/Dairy Management.
M. Van Amburgh.
The course is an intensive study trip designed for exposure to a variety of dairy related agricultural production approaches in diverse regions of Italy. Topics will include; dairy management, profitability and the role of culture as it relates to regional cheese production. There will be five class meetings prior to the end of the fall semester. The study trip is for 8-10 days and there is a fee. There are two courses, ANSC 2550 (fall) and 2551(spring). Students must enroll in both ANSC 2550 and 2551 to receive a final letter grade. Students will receive a placeholder grade (R) in the fall and upon completion of ANSC 2551, the R grade will be replaced with a letter grade.
Outcome 1: Students will be able to describe Italian milk production, cheese production and consumer expectations and compare this to the U.S. perspective on artisinal and local food production.
Outcome 2: Students will recognize and explain resource limitations for dairy production systems in the Italian agricultural system and provide context for that relative to future food production.
Outcome 3: Students will analyze Italian food production systems and contrast that with the U.S. system.
