a ANSC 490W is a course team-taught by 3 faculty members with equal responsibilities. The

structure of the course requires the students to give an oral presentation and teams of students

debate a topic relevant to animal agriculture.

ANSC 597A: This graduate-level class is designed to give students an

understanding of statistical analysis of experimental data. The course concept is

for the presentations and discussions to be interactive between all present. The

course is based on guided discussion concerning model choice, options within the

model, such as covariance structure, random and repeated options, and problems

that may arise in the analysis of experimental data using PROC MIXED.
