The treatment of analytical data and the estimation of experimental error are considered in detail. Chemical equilibrium, rate and equilibrium constants, abundance and titration curves, complexometric and redox reactions are discussed. The Beer-Lambert law and colorimetry are also examined. The laboratory work includes a selection of gravimetric, volumetric and colorimetric techniques relevant to the theory discussed. Three lecture hours and four laboratory hours a week. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 10:00AM - 11:15AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 432

This rotation provides students with an understanding of the role of nutrients in health and disease and the importance of nutrition in clinical practice. Students perform nutritional assessments, develop nutrition support plans, determine nutritional adequacy of commercial and homemade diets, implement preventive and curative dietary strategies for nutrition-sensitive disorders and monitor progression of therapy, develop client communication strategies regarding nutrition, and assist clients in selecting appropriate diets for their pets. Fourth year standing in the DVM program One week in duration.

In this course, students are introduced to the works of selected nurse theorists. Students develop skills in critical analysis and application of conceptual models and theories to practice.

This course focuses on some of the fundamental assumptions and questions in contemporary psychology. It begins with a discussion of psychological methods as forms of social practice, and the resulting product/knowledge of these practices as situated within a socio-historical context. We then discuss the importance of metaphor, and language in general, for psychological description and explanation, and the historicity this language displays. These issues lead to a review of the most foundational challenge to contemporary psychology: its reception of and reaction to postmodernism. This includes readings and discussion on social constructionist thought, feminist epistemologies, critical psychology, hermeneutics, and qualitative (vs. quantitative) research. The last portion of the course is devoted to student seminars, where students select a topic from class discussion and develop a presentation. Three hours a week. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 335

This course is an introduction to data analysis with a focus on regression. Topics include: initial examination of data, correlation, and simple and multiple regression models using least squares. Inference for regression parameters, confidence and prediction intervals, diagnostics and remedial measures interactions and dummy variables, variable selection, least squares estimation and inference for non-linear regression will also be discussed. Three lecture hours per week. 04-09-2024-04-12-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 04:00PM - 05:15PM, Cass Science Hall, Room 101

In this seminar, students are exposed to and engaged in selecting and critiquing a wide variety of public scholarly presentations by visiting scholars and UPEI faculty researchers, and facilitating scholarly dialogue among those who attend. The course also requires students to prepare a book review for publication in a scholarly journal, and present for critique by peers and colleagues the literature review prepared for ED 7030. 10-09-2024-03-12-2024 Graduate Studies Tuesday 02:30PM - 05:30PM, Robertson Library, Room 208

Students continue to synthesize their knowledge, skills, and professional competence in dietetic practice settings. Emphasis is on more complex dietetic practice.

This course considers basic approaches to intervention with children and adolescents through the lens of developmental psychopathology and evidence-based practice. Students gain an understanding of the importance of selecting interventions that are appropriate to what we know about effectiveness for specific clinical problems, the developmental level of the client, and the wider ecology of risk and protective factors that characterize children's and adolescents' lives. Major approaches to psychotherapeutic intervention with children and adolescents are reviewed. Students gain experience in the development of basic clinical skills that can be applied within a variety of clinical interventions. Important ethical issues that often emerge in work with children and adolescents are discussed. The importance of cultural and individual diversities in key areas that are often targeted by interventions with children and adolescents are considered, e.g., parenting values, beliefs and practices or family hierarchies and communication patterns. Students also are encouraged to draw on the conceptual and empirical research base (or lack thereof) that informs our understanding of the impact of social and cultural factors on therapeutic effectiveness. 06-09-2024-29-11-2024 Lecture Friday 09:30AM - 12:20PM, Memorial Hall, Room 104
