Welcome to Human Anatomy and Physiology II, BIO 2320. This course combines two sections for lecture (T\/Th 9:40-12:10 Science 1113), then half of the class meets for lab on Tuesday and the other half meets for lab on Thursday at 12:30. \u00a0Labs are in Science 2089. The laboratories are traditional laboratory sessions which allow the seeing, touching and feeling of body structures.<\/p>\n

    Lab Attendance Information:<\/strong>\u00a0Attending lab is essential to success in the class, as it provides visual and tactile input to the structures you need to know as well as relationships of one structure to another.\u00a0 You may earn points for attending 1 lab\/week throughout the semester as follows, provided that you are not more than 20 minutes late to any given lab:<\/p>\n

    Attending fewer than 2 labs: 0 points<\/p>\n

    Attending 2 labs: 5 points<\/p>\n

    Attending 3 labs: 10 points<\/p>\n

    Attending 4 labs: 15 points<\/p>\n

    Attending 5 labs: 20 points<\/p>\n

    Attending all 6 in-person labs: 25 points<\/p>\n

    LECTURE\u00a0EXAMS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    There will be 4 lecture exams, each worth 100 points (50 questions) for a total of 400 points.
