Human Anatomy & Physiology Orientation

/////

 

 
   

I am excited to work with you this semester. Together, we will explore the most complex subject in the universe, The Human Body.

Before we start the course, it's important that you review and understand the information covered in "My First Day Comments" (see below).

The two most important ideas covered in this orientation is our "shared responsibilities and the secret to success".

This page also has links to the syllabus, the Science Department's Learning Objectives, and the lecture/lab schedules (PDF printable).. Additional reference material about the class is also provided below. It is your responsibility to review this information and ask questions if you do not understand the significance of these statements

A Wise Man said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step". Well, this orientation is your first step into my world of anatomy and physiology. Remember, seeking knowledge is not a destination, it is a lifelong journey!
