PowerPoint Presentations:
Note: Because we have changed to a new edition of the Marieb textbook, we will be making a few revisions to the lecture PowerPoint Presentations throughout spring semester 2008. There is no reason not to look at any of them, as posted, at any time. However, I suggest you wait to print them out until the week they are to be used in lecture. That way you will print the most current version of each presentation. Dr. T.
How to print the PowerPoint slides efficiently? [Note: Do not print PowerPoint presentation from the computers in the A&P labs.]
Please follow these instructions. Go to the File Menu. (Do not use the print icon!) Click on Print.
A dialogue box will open.
On the lower left side there is a Print What? drop down menu. Select "Handouts" and then to the right slect "6 to a page."
On the lower left side there is a Color/grayscale switch. Choose color if you desire color and are using a color printer.
Push the OK button. It should print.
For certain chapters, when you try to print the handouts in black-and-white, some of the printed material or some of the art does not appear. If that should happen, and you are working at a black-and-white printer, try this: Switch the printer option to "colorscale." This should allow the printer to print all the different color schemes, including text and art, that are used in the slides. Since you are working at a black-and-white printer, you will not be wasting colored inks. Do not do this at a color printer unless you have permission to print the slides as "handouts" in color.
Absolutely, do not do any printing of PowerPoint presentation slides in the A&P labs!
Let me know if you have problems.

Review for Exams for Dr. Thompson’s class:
Advice for preparing for exams:
Keep cool! Keep calm! You can do this!
Contact me with any specific questions.
Study over several days. After using the online review materials, make a short outline of the material covered on the test. Which topics are you most confident about? Review them only briefly, then move to the ones that need more work. Repeat. With every repetition, the list of topics needing more work should be shorter.
Use the same approach on the exam. Find the questions for which you are most confident. Complete those answers first. That way you keep stress to a minimum. Then progress to those questions about which you are a little less confident. Work through the test under your own control, not just following the layout of the exam which is somewhat arbitrary.
I want you to succeed. You want to succeed. To succeed, master the material. That is your goal. Go for it!
Dr. T.
Exam Review Materials:
All exam questions will be taken from these review materials.

A good definition is complete and clarifies the term so that the reader knows what the term stands for and what the term does not represent. You may give an example, but giving an example by itself is not a definition. A proper definition indicates something about the location, composition, and function(s) of a structure or process, and possibly something about how it is produced or regulated.
