Human Anatomy Lab Guidlines

1. Come On Time and Come Prepared!

• Read the Lab Guide before the class.

>>> Familiarize yourself with new terms; mark relevant passages in your text book; identify key figures and schematics that you’ll work with during the lab session.

• Study for the Entrance Quiz (starts at 8 or 10 A.M. sharp).

>>> Your Lab Guide will tell you what you need to know for the quiz.
>>> Typically you need to know what we just studied in the previous week + 5 items marked with (*) from the material we will study on the day of the quiz.
>>> Six BEST out of nine entrance quizzes will count towards your grade. 


2. Bring the Text and Lab Guide with you.

• The Lab Guide will tell you what you need to know.

• The Text will help you locate new terms on models.

3. Ask Questions if you don’t understand the material, or if you are not sure if you identified all the terms correctly. 
 

4. At home, study several times a week, preferably with a classmate.

>>> Quiz and challenge each other. 
>>> Write down any questions you might have and ask them during the next class or Monday Night Open Lab Review.

>>> Remember that memory works just like muscles: You cannot win a marathon if you only start preparing for it a day before. You need to exercise your muscles (and memory) by "working out" several times a week, at regular intervals. Our brains also work best after a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast. So instead of burning the midnight oil just before your class/exam, better start studying a few days in advance.  


5. Come to Open Lab Review sessions on Monday evenings (7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.).
