This weighting scheme is to assist you in seeing the relative value of each examination. These examinations are based in large part upon material introduced and covered in lectures and on handouts, and on structures seen in the laboratory. Each regional written exam, except the first, will include review questions concerning the region immediately preceding the current unit. If a student fails the Final Comprehensive examination, then that student will receive an F for the course irrespective of the total percentage achieved. Other questions include, for example, identification of structures on models, bones, and non-invasive images, including computer images.
Some questions require short answers about the structures.
Students must proceed through these exams in a timely fashion. Dissection participation grade is based upon the expectation that you will attend and actively participate in each laboratory period you are assigned. Excused absences must be in accord with Marshall University policy for Absences from Examinations.
