Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2023: 3.51 GPA, 67.4% A/AB (n=95 letter grades); Spring 2024: 3.99 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=94 letter grades); Spring 2025: 3.96 GPA, 98.9% A/AB (n=90 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify and describe functionally important and clinically relevant anatomical specializations in the horse and ox (and the pig, as applicable).

  • Identify and describe topographical relationships, including external landmarks, in the ox and horse, and use external landmarks to locate anatomical structures when performing a physical exam.

  • Use anatomic and associated common terminology interchangeably as it relates to large animals.

  • Compare the anatomy of small and large animals and draw conclusions regarding fundamental anatomical principles which can be applied to many other species encountered in the curriculum and beyond.

  • Engage in peer teaching to facilitate learning for all while developing the intellectual curiosity that fosters independent learning required as future professionals.

About this estimate

The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 4 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.

The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

About this comparison

1286 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.

Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
