PURPOSE OF THIS WEBLOG

This site will be used primarily to give users of my Phoenix College website an indication of when I have made changes or additions to that site. If I make announcements here, they are to be considered OFFICIAL announcements. Therefore you are REQUIRED to check this site regularly.

At this point in the semester it becomes very important to keep your eye on the orange columns in the Class Standings and to understand the explanation.

Also, if two of your lecture examination scores are tied for the lowest score, then you'll need to email me and tell me which one (if any) you'd prefer to retake on the day of the final examination. Otherwise, I'll choose for you.

If you choose to withdraw from the course, you should email me to let me know. You should NOT assume that I will give you a W instead of an F if you simply stop attending.

You should replace your copy immediately. I'm sorry about the confusion.
I've added labeled and unlabeled versions of the Cadaver Cross Sections under Course Materials.
