X INTRODUCTION 



The outline is not divided into two-hour studies; the work 

 is continuous. Do as much as you have time for in one period; 

 at the next period review briefly the previous day's accompHsh- 

 ment and then go on with new work. The materials used in 

 this course are expensive and care must be exercised in using 

 them. Report damaged skeletons and demonstration speci- 

 mens immediately. Dissection materials must be kept in their 

 proper containers when not in use. Do not expect the instructor 

 to look after your specimens for you. 



The keeping of a notebook for recording observations in the 

 laboratory is expected. One of the best ways of learning the 

 details of anatomy is to make outline drawings and label them 

 completely. It is essential, of course, that one think about 

 the subject while executing the drawing. Drawings should be 

 made on good quality paper. It is immaterial as to the size 

 of the paper selected or whether you prefer a loose leaf system 

 or a bound book, but be consistent. A list of the drawings 

 required will be posted in the laboratory. This is the minimum 

 requirement. Your instructor will be glad to correct any 

 additional drawings you may wish to make. 



A thorough knowledge of the work covered in the laboratory 

 and of the functions of the various structures is expected. 

 Examinations, oral, written or both, will be given from time to 

 time. The quality of your dissections is important. Each 

 student is expected to make his own dissections. Sponging on 

 another is a sign of lack of ability or of mental laziness. Have 

 all dissections checked by the instructor at the time they are 

 made and before organs are removed.
