Mixed Models Workshop

The Mixed Models Workshop provides a comprehensive exposition of proper statistical data analysis and power determinations of commonly used experimental designs in the animal sciences; our approach is example-driven and primarily based on the various mixed model analysis procedures available in SAS software.

Teaching Workshop: Changing the animal science teaching and learning paradigm—An interactive workshop on how to use case study teaching to foster critical thinking and classroom discussion

The purpose of the case study workshop is to engage participants in different types of case study methods of instruction, demonstrate how to teach with case studies, and how to write cases and teaching notes so that others individuals can use them. During this highly interactive workshop, participants will experience case study teaching from the student’s viewpoint, and discuss how this teaching method can contribute to critical thinking and effective classroom discussions. In breakout sessions, participants will write their own cases or modify existing cases relevant to specific disciplines within the animal sciences undergraduate program (e.g., nutrition, genetics, management, physiology). This daylong workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Clyde (Kipp) Herreid, who is the founding director of the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/) and distinguished teaching professor of the State University of New York. Kipp has published over 150 articles and five books in the fields of ecology, behavior, and physiology of animals and written extensively in the field of science education.
