Description

This is an intense course that will cover all of the bodily systems. There will be a large amount of material to understand. It is expected that all students in the class have a solid foundation from material they studied in biology and chemistry, as this information will serve as the foundation to discuss various endocrine systems/processes. All students are required to purchase the textbook.

Examinations

There are no make-up exams. If a student has a valid problem with an exam date, this must be discussed with the course instructor BEFORE the exam. If a student fails to do so and does not show up to take the exam at the appointed time, a grade of "F" might be assigned for the missing exam at the discretion of the instructor.
