The hormone worksheet is due Week 10 (as you doubtless know). It's okay to hand in a paper version to me in the laboratory. But you may also opt to submit the worksheet electronically. I have added a link for the Word version of the worksheet, so you can type your answers in. I have also added an upload tool so you can send me the file. Be sure to see the instructions for how to name the file before sending it.

Now that I have received multiple complaints from students about the cheating that was occurring on Wednesday night's practicum, I want to make a class-wide announcement about it here. First, I hope you recall my telling the class that one of the few ways you can piss me off is to cheat. It sucks that I now have to closely watch a few of you, as though this were high school. I much prefer treating my students like adults and like friends. But friends don't cheat. It also sucks that now your honest classmates will be watching you more closely and hopefully reporting to me. Honest students should not be afraid to report cheating to me (whether anonymously or openly), because cheaters only cheapen the value of hard-earned scores in this very demanding course. Also, you're supposed to be training for the medical field, wherein you will directly affect others' lives. If you can't cut it in this class the legal way, then you shouldn't be here. Leave nursing to the people who are willing to EARN the degree.

For now, I have not reduced any scores on the practicum, but I could do so at any time, especially if additional evidence mounts. If honest students report to me in the future that any of the same dishonest students are cheating again, I will enter the cheater's final semester score as zero (F). I also might recommend expulsion from Phoenix College.

I hate to turn BIO202 into a police state and have students spying on each other, but that's what cheating causes. If you're an honest student (as most of you are), you have nothing to worry about. I'm not going to reveal the names of any of the suspected cheaters. You know who you are, and so do we.

The key to the vascular project table is now online.

I added a link to Visible Body under Course Materials. It's a fairly neato site.
