Honors Program and Courses

Course Number: HP492, upper-division honors course. I designed this course to explore the interrelatedness of scientific and social issues. Co-taught with SueEllen Campbell, Professor in the Department of English.

Course Title: Nature and Human Nature

Course Number: HP492, Capstone Honors course. I designed this course to explore the interrelatedness of scientific, philosophical, and literary issues in the construction of self.

Course Title: Construction of Self in the Arts and Sciences

Examples of Course Improvements

Veterinary Curriculum

VM606, Veterinary Immunology became my course in approximately 1989. Since then, the course has evolved from a two-hour course to a three-hour course, and the content has changed completely. From 1999 to 2001, I chaired a committee convened to review and coordinate immunology throughout the veterinary curriculum. For the first time the immunology expectations of faculty throughout the four-year Professional Veterinary Medicine Curriculum were delineated, and I redesigned the content of VM606 to meet those expectations.

PACC101, Introduction to Human Disease, began as the first effort at CSU to offer a pathology course to first-year undergraduate students. In the few years it has been taught, we have changed the course from multiple teachers (which the students almost uniformly disliked) to a single teacher. In addition, there is an ongoing effort to cover what’s in the newspaper this week and to provide the students with needed accessories like a glossary of terms and study guides. In addition, in each of the last two years the students were offered extra-credit opportunities that revolved around human diseases currently in the news. And finally, the course has been expanded to include a section on disease and society to help the students see how human disease drives things as diverse as the economy and foreign policy.

Examples of Course Improvements – Continued

PA315, Human and Animal disease, began as a course taught by seven instructors. The students had a very hard time with that. The number of instructors was reduced to three, then two, and finally to one. This arrangement seems to be popular with students and in their opinion enhances their opportunities for learning. A requirement for an essay and an oral presentation on a disease of their choice is now included in the course to provide further opportunity for students to focus on diseases of particular interest or relevance to them.

CM640/E641, Creative Science Writing. From its inception to the present, this course has evolved dramatically. What began as a “frontiers” course has become a graduate writing workshop that routinely attracts about half of its students from graduate humanities programs and the other half from graduate science programs. That transition has occurred as a result of constant review and revision in the course materials and schedule.

HP492, Construction of Self in Philosophy, Literature, and Medicine is a senior Honors Capstone course. This course began as a course cross-listed between pathology, English, and honors. From semester to semester, this course changes significantly based on what previous students have found most stimulating. Though the first of its kind at its inception, it has become the model for the honors core curriculum.

Development of New Courses

Note: None of the courses that I have taught or currently teach in their entirety was offered at Colorado State University before I arrived.

Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology Curriculum

Graduate Courses

PA670 Molecular Immunology and Immunogenetics:

Graduate course I created to supplement graduate immunobiology course offered by the Microbiology Department. It is the first graduate course at CSU to focus on molecular aspects of immunology.

PA770 Monoclonal Antibodies:

Graduate course I created with funds awarded by Merck for advancement of education. The course provided hands-on targeted preparation of monoclonal antibodies for graduate students.

PA796A Immunology Journal Club:

Graduate course created to fill need for proficiency in immunological literature and its interpretation.

PA796C Scientific Ethics:

Graduate course created to fill NIH requirement for ethics class for all students supported by NIH pre-doctoral fellowships and grants.

PA796V Writing Scientific Manuscripts:

Graduate course created at request of MIP Department head to fill widely acknowledged lack of writing skills among Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology graduate students.

Undergraduate Courses

PACC101 Introduction to Human Disease:

Course I created to serve the wider community of students with an interest in pathology. It is the only course offered in College of Veterinary Medicine and Biological Sciences to be included in the All University Core Curriculum and the only course offered in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biological Sciences being considered for Guaranteed Transferable Core Curriculum.

PA315 Human and Animal Disease:

Advanced undergraduate course I created originally with Marty Fettman to serve the needs of pre-veterinary, pre-medical, and occupational-therapy students. I later modified the course, and now, I solely teach it to a large audience of students from a variety of disciplines. PA315 is now included among elective courses toward graduation for Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology students.

English Department Curriculum/Cell and Molecular Biology Curriculum

Graduate Courses

CM640/E641 Creative Science Writing/Graduate Nonfiction Writing Workshop:

This is the first interdisciplinary graduate course at Colorado State University. It is also the first graduate course at CSU to be cross-listed between the Cell and Molecular Biology Program and the English Department. In addition, it is the first course taught by faculty from two different colleges.

Honors Program Core Curriculum

Honors Undergraduate Core Curriculum

HPCC492 Construction of Self in Literature, Philosophy, and Medicine:

Originally created as the sole Honors Capstone Course, this course now serves as one of the required Honors core curriculum courses. This course was created to explore the intersection of disciplines as diverse as medicine, literature, and philosophy and the similarities in the questions important to all three. At its inception, this course was the only truly interdisciplinary undergraduate course offered at CSU. Because of the success of HP492, CSU now offers several other somewhat similar courses.

In addition, I have routinely mentored students preparing for the DVM program at CSU as well as students seeking careers in science. Most of these students are not among those students whom I officially advise.

HONORS-OPTION VETERINARY STUDENTS:

CSU veterinary course are offered pass/fail. To identify especially promising students, we offer an “Honors Option.” Designed by the instructor and the students, these projects are intended to provide considerable extra investment on the part of students towards investigation and description of current problems in veterinary medicine.

1. Laura Servis – Investigation of role of immunity in psychoses

2. Andrea Hilden – Role of gender in systemic lupus erythematosus

3. Gerry Nance – Role of gender in susceptibility to infectious disease
