The BIO202 laboratory will be open from 0900 to 1100 on Friday 02 October 2009 C.E. for any last-minute review you might want to do for the impending practicum.

I've added a link under Assignments and Scores about make-up examinations.

The posted breakdown of questions for Practicum 1 is now officially correct (and only slightly changed). Enjoy the weekend.

The PhysioEx key appears under Assignments and Scores.

I've added some links under Assignments and Scores that pertain to the hormone project.

IMPORTANT

Patty Finkenstadt has changed the policy with respect to the PhysioEx assignments.

1. All PhysioEx assignments will be worth 10 points instead of 20. Half of these points will be for completing the experiment (and answering the questions on those pages); the other half will be for completing the corresponding Review Questions.

2. After the assignments are checked for completeness and timeliness, they will be returned to the students. You will be checking your own returned assignments for correctness. There will be answer keys posted for this purpose. It's important for you to check your answers, because you need to be able to answer multiple-choice questions about the PhysioEx assignments on the practicum. (In other words, you need to understand the experiments.)

3. Because the PhysioEx assignments have been de-emphasized with respect to point-value, the number of multiple-choice questions about PhysioEx will be doubled to 10 on the practicum (instead of 5).

The Reproductive System slide show has been updated.

Keep in mind that the Review Questions at the end of the PhysioEx chapters are required as well, except for review questions that have to do with activities that are not required according to the Laboratory Schedule. The Review Questions are broken into sections with headings that correspond to the titles of the activities.

To bring more widespread attention to the Saladin outlines, I've changed the Notes for Downloading page. You should take a look.
