Finally, each student will be responsible for answering the laboratory report forms at the back of the laboratory manual. These report forms include a place to write identifications of structures from within each chapter as well as some additional questions. These reports should facilitate learning and studying for both lecture and laboratory examinations. It is also a way to assess your understanding of and progress with the independent, self-paced laboratory work you will be completing this term. A special note is needed here about the laboratory component of this course.
Laboratory is self-paced and independently completed.
You will be given a list of exercises and illustrations to complete each week. I strongly encourage you to keep up with the assignments. Do not wait until the night before they are due to complete the assignments. The best strategy is to complete only portions at a time so that you have time to digest the material and keep the information straight. I will have a sign in and sign out sheet in the laboratory.
