ALL (and only) Wednesday laboratory students must submit this form (only once).

The timeout problem with the hormone forms has been fixed.

I've updated the Digestive System slide show. I'll be updating the slide shows gradually, so that each is updated by the time I use it in lecture. Therefore, you should hold off printing each chapter's slide show until it is updated.

The Hormone Request Form has been added, but you have to have a group formed already to be eligible to submit it.

The Course Syllabus has been updated so that the schedule of laboratory topics is now correct. Be sure to note the error in the version I handed out in class.

I misspoke when I said that there is an electronic form on the website for requesting a hormone for the group project. I haven't yet put the form on the site, but I will soon, probably today.

The Practicum Videos are now online.

I've added the Official Laboratory Schedule. It's important that you realize the difference between that and the brief schedule of topics that appears on the Notes for Downloading page.

The laboratory schedule on the Notes for Downloading page has changed. The official laboratory schedule will be published within a day or two. I'll explain the special circumstances concerning Wednesday students after the semester starts.

The Lecture Slide Shows might change between now and the beginning of the semester. If you intend to print them, you should save paper by holding off until the first day of class.

I've added links for the Rules Consent Form, the Comment Form, and the Email Form.

I've revised the Course Syllabus.

IMPORTANT END-OF-THE-SEMESTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

Read ALL of these, and act on all that apply to you.

1. You may opt to retake whichever lecture examination you scored lowest on, and if you opt to retake it, doing so can not hurt you. If you score higher the second time, I'll replace your original score. If you do not score higher, nothing will change. You will take the retake immediately upon submitting Examination 6, and the retake will be multiple-choice.

2. If you know that you will not be opting for the retake, it would be cool to let me know now, just to save a bit of paper. You do NOT need to tell me that you want to take it.

3. If two or more lecture examinations are tied for your lowest scores, you must tell me which test you prefer to retake. Otherwise, I'll choose one.

4. If you look at or touch Lecture Examination 6, then you will NOT be allowed to withdraw (and you will receive a letter grade, which will affect your GPA). If you choose to withdraw before Examination 6, please let me know. A withdrawal will appear as a W on your transcript, but it will not affect your GPA. It is your responsibility to check the class standings to see what score will be required for you to get your desired grade and to see whether it is possible to pass the course.

I apologize for the delay in the audio. I made the same mistake again and uploaded to the wrong directory immediately after yesterday's lecture. At least this time I learned how that's been happening, so that should be the last time.

Veins 15 and 16 were misnumbered on the Practice Practicum. That has been corrected.

Practicum 2 will include 75 total questions. Forty of these will use the cadaver; the remaining thirty-five will use sheep hearts.

As always, you are NOT allowed to take the practicum on a day different from your scheduled day.
