The purpose of this course is to acquaint the equestrian student with an organizational, scientific approach to the diagnosis, treatment and athletic management of equine lameness. This will be accomplished in three separate sections of the course. The course will be equally divided between lectures and labs. During the initial section, orthopedic anatomy and equine biomechanics will be reviewed. In the second section, we'll combine anatomy and biomechanics with the art of insightful observation of the horse on the flat and under saddle. The final section will incorporate discussion of the latest scientific technology for diagnosis, as well as common dysfunctions, etiology and prognosis interrelated to the competitive implications for the best management of the athletic horse. Prerequisite: EQ 241 or permission of the instructor, Junior or Senior standing.

The principle learning outcome in this course is for the student to acquire a thorough working knowledge of the equine gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology as related to the process of digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients. Special emphasis will be placed on lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals and their relationships in feed concentrates and in forage. Different aspects of nutritional requirements and deficiencies will also be discussed. The student will be able to apply the basic principles of equine nutrition in order to develop and balance a feed rationing program for horses at any stage of life and athletic capacity. Prerequisites: EQ 244, EQ244L and EQ 350

This course will emphasize scientific investigation of crime. Students will become both detective and criminalist as they learn how to secure a crime scene, and collect and analyze physical evidence. Students will learn how to: 1) do blood typing and DNA analysis, 2) analyze blood splatter patterns, 3) analyze hair and fiber samples, 4) find and lift latent fingerprints and compare to established database, 5) identify the source of ink samples from handwritten notes, and 6) develop a psychological profile of the criminal. Using actual cases, the class will review forensic analysis of soil samples, bite marks, ballistics, and toxicology. Students will learn how to apply various mathematical and statistical tools to make judgments regarding the weight of the evidence, and to either identify or eliminate suspects. Legal issues such as the insanity defense, the reliability of eyewitnesses, and the utility and accuracy of lie detectors will be examined.

Advanced course in the identification and proper collection of physical evidence from a crime scene. Students will learn what types of collection containers are best suited to specific forms of evidence, so as to avoid possible contamination, and what alternatives may be available in the absence of a full crime-scene kit. The class will cover the importance of: 1) maintaining a chain of custody, 2) careful observation and recording of crime scenes, and 3) ordering the appropriate analytical tests. Students will further develop their understanding of legal issues related to collection, handling, and interpretation of evidence; issues and concepts related to eyewitness identification and testimony, such as the perception of events and retrieval of information from memory; and will learn how to search for witnesses and to develop suspects.

This is an entry-level course in French that assumes no prior knowledge of the language. The course can stand alone and provides a significant introduction to the language, although ideally it would be taken as a two-course sequence with FRE 152. The focus is on development of basic communicative ability in the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), the acquisition of basic grammar and vocabulary, and on the use of the language in everyday situations. An introduction to the cultures of the French-speaking world is included. The course assumes very active participation by the student.

3.00 Credits
This course is a suitable beginning point for students who have previously mastered some of the fundamentals and are able to resume their study at a somewhat higher level. It uses the same four skills approach as FRE 151. The course opens with a brief review of essential grammatical structures and vocabulary from FRE 151. It then moves to the acquisition and use of more sophisticated language structures and additional, general vocabulary appropriate to everyday situations. An introduction to the cultures of the French-speaking world is included. The course assumes very active participation by the student. Prerequisite: French 151 or equivalent.

3.00 Credits
This course assumes a working knowledge of basic grammar and vocabulary, and is intended as a continuation of the FRE 151-152 sequence. The focus is on development of intermediate-level oral and writing skills, such as somewhat extended conversations on everyday topics and situations, and paragraph-length writing using moderately complex structures. Some grammar review is included. Classes are conducted in French.
