Final Exam Information

Folks --

Please find below information for the Final Exam. I have scheduled the final for 3:30 on Wednesday, May 13, in our usual room. In the past, this has been preferable to the time that the Registar assigns (which is usually an early morning slot). If this time does not work for you, we can schedule something else that's more convenient. If I don't hear from you, I'll assume you're taking it on the Wednesday afternoon.

Here's how the Final Exam is organized:

Just a quick note: when I say that the Label-the-Figure is from material from Exam 3, for example, that doesn't mean I will be lifting questions from Exam 3. That just means that the figure(s) will come from the Weeks 11-13 material that was covered on the third exam.

The Final Exam is cumulative, but there are some things that will NOT be on the exam.
  • "Naked Man" will NOT be on the final.
  • Bones and bone markings that were only addressed in lab (for Lab Exam 1) will NOT be on the exam.
  • The skeletal muscles and their actions (from Lab Exam 2) will NOT be on the final.
  • Lastly, the special senses (eye and ear) will NOT be on the final.

That's it for now; I'll be in touch again before the Lab Exam on Wednesday. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Lecture Exam 3 on Wednesday!

Please remember that we have an onsite meeting this week, beginning at 3:30 on Wednesday. You'll be taking Lecture Exam 1, and then you'll have open lab time afterwards. As with previous exams, we’ll start in the lab across the hall for the test and then open lab will be back in our regular room.

See you on Wednesday!

Lecture Exam 2 on Wednesday!

Please remember that we have an onsite meeting this week, beginning at 3:30 on Wednesday. You'll be taking Lecture Exam 2, and then we'll do two labs (Labs 7 & 8) dedicated to muscle afterwards. Consult the Week 11 page to see what we're doing and what's due.

See you on Wednesday!

P.S. Lecture Exam 2 covers material from Weeks 7, 8, 9, and 10 (Articulations and Muscle).

Withdrawal Date - April 4

Please keep in mind that the last day to partially withdraw from your schedule is this Saturday, April 4. A partial withdrawal means that you withdraw from one course but keep others. You will receive a W on your transcript in place of a letter grade. You can fully withdraw from the College up through the last day of classes. This means that you withdraw from all of your courses. Withdrawals are handled through the Registrar's Office in the Administration building.

Your point totals are current in the WebCT gradebook, so make sure you know where you are and make an informed decision. Withdrawals are strongly recommended for students who fit the following criteria:
- Those who have stopped participating;
- Those who are severely behind in the material;
- Those who plan to apply to Massasoit's Allied Health programs and have D-F averages

Please keep in mind that there are important ramifications to withdrawing if you are a full-time student, as your health insurance and financial aid status may be affected. Also, I believe the Registrar’s Office is very strict about their hours on Saturday. I believe they close at noon and will refuse to withdraw anyone who misses that deadline, no matter what the excuse is!

Lecture Exam 1 on Wednesday!
