I posted a corrected version of the Appendicular Skeleton Practice Practicum. Station 35 had no Part A indicated, and Station 43 had "intercondylar" misspelled.

Practicum 2 (which, of course, will occur on Tuesday) will feature thirty-five answers. The practicum is worth a maximum of seventy-five points. Obviously, then, each answer is worth fifteen sevenths. Enjoy the weekend.

Since some students had already left the laboratory before I made this announcement, I want to repeat it here. Lecture Examination 3 is Wednesday, and you won't have a weekend over which to study. But you can "prestudy" over this weekend by listening to my muscular-system lectures from a previous semester. Just look under the Archived Lecture Recordings heading on the main page:

The recordings of 03 March and 05 March will correspond to the lecture I will give on Monday.

Enjoy the weekend.

The corrected versions of the Axial Skeleton Practice Practicum have been uploaded.

One of your colleagues astutely noticed last night that Station 21 of the Axial Skeleton Practice Practicum slide show uses a lumbar vertebra to indicate articular facets for the rib head and for the rib tubercle. Of course, only thoracic vertebrae feature those facets. I have sent notice of the error to the creator of the slide show, and I will post a new version when she makes the correction. For now, you should realize that the facets are indicated in the correct POSITIONS, but they should be on a "giraffe head", not on a "moose head".

Circa 23.8% of the class members have not yet submitted the Rules Consent Form. Those students' scores for the impending examination will not be available on the Class Standings page.

Sorry, folks, but I just noticed that the schedule listed on the Notes for Downloading page was wrong. I fixed it, and it now agrees with the syllabus. The most immediate effect is that Practicum 1 will occur on 16 June, not 11 June. Of course, the syllabus has indicated that all along.
