Course Description:
2Biology II


This course is an overview of human biology, with a focus on human anatomy and physiology.

A test can be expected following each of the major chapters of the college-level text being used.  In addition, tests and reports are required following the laboratory dissection of the fetal pig.  An alternative method of learning will be provided for those students who opt not to do dissections.  Regular reading assignments from the basic course text, supplemental references,  and periodicals will be require an average of three hours per week.  A minimum of ten laboratory investigations requiring reports will be completed by all students.  A current and thoroughly organized notebook is essential through the year.
