Requirements:
I will provide you with a dissection kit.
Lab manual: Comparative Anatomy: Manual of Vertebrate Dissection 2001. Fishbeck and Sebastiani. Morton Publishing Co.
The lab manual will be supplemented with handouts. We will not perform all the labs found in the above lab manual...conversely, we will do some labs that are not covered in the lab manual.
Also recommended: a 3-ring binder for the lab manual which includes blank paper for notes and drawings.
