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.
