If a student is unable to attend that practical session, he/she MUST obtain his/her instructor’s permission ASAP to take the practical on the day of the final, no make-ups with other sections.

BSC 2094 Lab Spring, 2015 LEARNING OUTCOMES:  Investigate the structure and functioning of the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems and relate them to the laboratory experience  Apply problem solving, analytical, and communication skills based on the scientific method that will provide the foundation for lifelong learning and career development by explaining the importance of each aspect in the maintenance of homeostasis in the human body and investigating the counterpart of normal function as leading to particular pathological problems.  Make use of technology to organize, acquire, and convey information relevant to the biological sciences. If you are experiencing difficulty in your course, your first obligation is to work directly with your instructor to resolve the issue. If you are unable to settle your concerns with the assistance of your instructor, you can contact the Department Chair (Sherry Bowen, sbowen@irsc.edu, 7724627502), who will assist you or advise you about contacting the Academic Dean (Dr. Horton, phorton@irsc.edu, 7724627693) or Vice President (Dr. Iacono, aiacono@irsc.edu, 7724627215).
