Welcome Back!

  • I am going to try something new with you guys that should help you with your planning for Physiology class. I have made a study guide for the Chapter 8 Nervous system unit to let you know when assignments will be due, what you need to focus on to do well, and let you know what you need to make up if you have to miss a class.
  • You can preview the study guide by clicking on this hyperlink - Study Guide.
  • I hope to be able to cut down on printing, so after the Ch. 8 Unit, I will be happy to print out each chapter's study guide for you upon request,
