Fall 2008 (Wednesday, August 27 - Wednesday, December 17)

  • I will be in class tomorrow (Monday), and will explain in much more detail what you need to do for Wednesday.
  • THERE WILL BE NO FINAL PORTFOLIO (I'LL AVERAGE YOU SCORES ON THE FIRST THREE). THERE IS NO FINAL QUIZ, AS I MISSED ALL OF LAST WEEK.
  • I have just posted:
    • A practice (randomly sorted) set of images (think of this as a practice exam)
    • A second practic exam with more directed questions (this one looks more like the actual exam, but is shorter)
    • The muscle/nerve tissues image set (ppt) and lecture for MONDAY - BRING THE IMAGES TO CLASS
    • OPTIONAL: A 'lab' (which you'd want to print) and a PPT (which you'd want to run on your computer) to REVIEW the information about connective tissues from last week, as well as a similar muscle/nerve file set. These are optional, but would provide a nice reference/practice
  • FYI: The Spring Schedule has been modified; we will offer the following A&P sections:
    • M, T, W, Th 8:30 - 11:10 (first 8 weeks Bio 201; second 8 weeks Bio 202); Dr. Mischala Grill
    • MW 11:30 - 2:10 (16 weeks); Julia Fiello this is a change from the printed schedule
    • MW 5:30 - 8:10 pm (116 weeks); TBD
    • S (web hybrid - 1/2 class on line); Dr. Tracy Brooks

Testing center (DVC Plaza Building Room F111); hours are:

  • M, T, W, Th 8:15 m - 7:00 pm
  • F 8:15 am - 4:45 pm
  • S 8:15 am - 1:00 pm
  • Remember to bring a photo ID, tell them it's for Bio 156 and be there sooner than an hour prior to closing.
