This course allows students to continue to explore the theoretical foundations and practices in the field of literacy. Students build their understanding of reading and writing processes by exploring the characteristics, needs, and practices that are unique to emerging, beginner, transitioning, and autonomous learners. Students develop their skills in the assessment of reading and writing while they continue to learn about the components of an effective literacy program, including those that support educational differentiation, such as writing and reading workshops. 08-01-2024-07-02-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 09:00AM - 11:50AM, Kelley Memorial Bldg, Room 211

This course introduces students to the complexity of automating machines. Building on previous machine design and electric circuit's courses, students will investigate and experiment with all aspects of electrical systems, mechanical systems and automatic control. Topics covered include: history of machines, how machines work, concept of control, human interaction, instruments and measurements, control schematics, AC/DC machines and transformers, programmable technology, power electronics, electric motors, protection systems, and industrial safety. Labs involve reverse engineering exercises and industrial field trips are used to enhance understanding. Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week. 09-01-2024-09-04-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:15PM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 110S

This interactive and experiential elective course is based on the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program, an evidence-based wellness program for managing stress currently utilized in several medical schools across North America. Modules explore mindfulness techniques including seated meditation, body scan, yoga and movement, breathing exercises, and reflection (both self and group). The curriculum is focused on the experiential exploration of stress and distress to develop less emotional reactivity, to reduce the physiological effects of stress, pain and illness, to manage change and loss, and to be able to turn towards difficulty with non-judgment. The course is specifically focused on the stressors associated with a career in veterinary medicine and with accessing inner resources to help manage this stress in order to have a more joyful life in veterinary medicine. MBSR has been associated with high levels of satisfaction and positive feedback in preliminary research in both veterinary and human medicine when offered as part of an elective curriculum. Five week module with 3 hours of tutorial per week. 09-02-2024-09-02-2024 Lecture Friday 01:30PM - 04:30PM, Atlantic Vet College, Room 287N (more)...

This course provides the student with an opportunity to integrate and consolidate theory, research, and advanced knowledge and skills required of the nurse practitioner in providing primary health care to clients, families, groups and communities experiencing common episodic and chronic health related problems/illnesses. The focus will be on the refinement of critical thinking skills, clinical reasoning, and advanced practice clinical judgment in assessment, diagnosis, and management of clients' health. Collaboration with clients, families, and other health care professionals will be emphasized. Students will develop role competencies under the supervision of a faculty member and a clinical preceptor negotiated by the student and professor. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE: 200 hours across the course HOURS OF CREDIT: 6 (Pass/Fail). 10-01-2024-24-04-2024 Graduate Studies Wednesday 08:30AM - 11:20AM, Health Sciences Bldg, Room 226
