and conclusions). The presiding students will then have about 10 - 20 min to lead the discussion regarding the appropriateness of experimental approaches as well as the biological significance of the work. Other students will be expected to read the paper in advance and prepare several points for discussion. One day before the paper discussion, the presenter(s) will be required to turn in a one-page summary of the article and the power point slides which will be presented. These can be sent to the Instructor via e-mail the day before the paper discussion. The presentations will be worth 50 points (or 12.5% of the final grade). Students are expected to participate actively in all discussions to receive full credit. Journal articles for discussion 1. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I in liver of periparturient dairy cows: Effects of prepartum intake, postpartum induction of ketosis, and periparturient disorders (Dann and Drackley, J Dairy Sci 2005; 88:3851-3859). 2. Hexose transporter expression and function in mouse small intestine: Role of diurnal rhythm (Fatima et al, J Gastrointest Surg 2009; 13:634-641). 3. Milk performance and glucose metabolism in dairy cows fed rumen-protected fat during mid lactation (Lohrenz et al, J. Dairy Sci 2010; 93:5867-5876). 4. Gluconeogenesis in dairy cows: The secret of making sweet milk from sour dough. (Aschenbach et al, Life 2010; 62:869-877). 5. Glucose transporters and enzymes related to glucose synthesis in small intestinal mucosa of mid-lactation dairy cows fed 2 levels of starch (Lorenz et al, J Dairy Sci 2011; 94:4546-4555). 6. Involvement of skeletal muscle protein, glycogen, and fat metabolism in the adaptation of early lactation of dairy cows (Kuhla et al, J Proteome Res 2011; 10:4252-4262). GRADES: The final grade will be based on performance in all areas of the course as follows: Hourly exams 2 @ 100 pts = 200 pts (50.0%) Final exam 1 @ 150 pts = 150 pts (37.5%) Paper discussion 1 @ 50 pts = 50 pts (12.5%) Grading scale: A = 95-100%; A - = 90-94%; B + = 86-89%; B = 80-85%; B - = 76-79%; C + = 70-75; C = 66- 69%; C - = 60-65%; D + = 56-59%; D = 50-55%; D - = 46-49%; E =
Make-up Exam Policy: No make-up examinations will be administered. For university functions or excused absences, arrangements can be made to double the grade of the subsequent examination. Verification of illness in the form of a note from the physician or form for athletic activity or university-sponsored events will be required a week prior to the scheduled exam. Detailed information on excused absences can be found on the following link: http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/policies/regulationattendance.html#absences ACADEMIC HONESTY, SOFTWARE USE, UF COUNSELING SERVICES, SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES Academic Honesty: In 1995 the UF student body enacted a new honor code and voluntarily committed itself to the highest standards of honesty. When students enroll at the university, they commit themselves to the standard drafted and enacted by students. In adopting this honor code, the students of the University of Florida recognize that academic honesty and integrity are fundamental values of the university community. Students who enroll at the university commit to holding themselves and their peers to the high standard of honor required by the honor code. Any individual who becomes aware of a violation of the honor code is bound by honor to take corrective action. The quality of a University of Florida education is dependent upon community acceptance and enforcement of the honor code. The honor code: “We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.” On all work submitted for credit by students at the university, the following pledge is either required or implied: “On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.” The university requires all members of its community to be honest in all endeavors. A fundamental principle is that the whole process of learning and pursuit of knowledge is diminished by cheating, plagiarism and other acts of academic dishonesty. In addition, every dishonest act in the academic environment affects other students adversely, from the skewing of the grading curve to giving unfair advantage for honors or for professional or graduate school admission. Therefore, the university will take severe action against dishonest students. Similarly, measures will be taken against faculty, staff and administrators who practice dishonest or demeaning behavior. Students should report any condition that facilitates dishonesty to the instructor, department chair, college dean or student Honor Court.
