Biology 251 Announcements

Fri. 5/11/12 -- Very nice job overall on Lab Exam 1, folks:  the average was 51.2/60 (85.3%)!  Find your score and current overall raw percentage here

Thu. 5/10/12 -- If anyone took the SD card from a smart phone that was left unattended in lab yesterday, please return it to one of the secretaries in APH 203, no questions asked (just report it as "found", and the secretaries will put it in lost and found, and you can remain anonymous)...the owner of the phone has many special family photos on the card, and she'd really like it back.  Thanks!

Tue. 5/8/12 -- Reminder:  as we discussed in lecture today, the priority registration period for both Summer and Fall Quarters begins next Monday 5/14.  If you're planning to continue the A&P sequence with me (BIOL& 252 in the summer and BIOL& 253 in the fall), please register for both a lab and a lecture when your registration time comes.  (You may also get on the waitlist for a lab if that's all that's available.)  Clark's Advising Office has stated that if there is space available, you should attempt to register for the lab section first.  (Or, if there is space available in both a lecture and a lab and you're trying to register for them simultaneously, make sure that the lab section if listed first.)  If you try that and it doesn't work, you can contact Registration to see what the problem is, or you may need to contact Advising to get a course entry code.  Thank you for securing your spots in these courses promptly, I appreciate it!

Mon. 5/7/12 -- Click here for some more info about Lecture Exam 1, as well as some protocols to follow once you get your graded exam back (we will discuss this document during lecture tomorrow).

BIOL& 251 Lecture Exam Protocols and Multiple Choice Exam Tips

 

As you keep hearing, this is a tough course, and it requires a lot of outside-of-class study time and effort in order for you to excel.  In a previous class, I asked some of my best A&P students to tell me what they did to help them score well on the lecture exams.  Here's what they said.

Did you know that Clark's Career Services offers Student Success Workshops on a variety of topics, including time management, stress management, test-taking tips, and reading for college success?  Click here for their workshop schedule for Spring 2012...and if the workshop time you're interested in has already occurred, occurs too late in the quarter to be of any help to you for this quarter, or conflicts with your schedule, contact them to see if you can still at least get the information that they offer on each topic.

Jim Campbell has taken pictures of some (but not all) of the models and slides that we will be studying in A&P lab this year; you may access them here.  You will need to enter a UserID and Password (ask me if you don't already know them).

Want to make unlabeled flashcards of some of the photomicrographs in Jim's Lab Manuals?  Steve Woodley has done the hard work for you here!
