Hints for studying:

1. We like testing on knowledge of diversity. Demo material will show up on this lab practical. Detailed morphology/anatomy will mostly not (there are some important morph/anat stuff you should know, do your best to pick it out).
2. There will be some dissections on the lab practical, but the dissections shouldn’t be particularly surprising.
3. Figure out the most easy to see parts of the slides and dissections – those will be what we’ll test on, not stuff that was hard to see, ambiguously located, or small.
4. It is more likely that there will be whole mount slides rather than cross sections or longitudinal sections – however, there will be a few of those too. We will focus on the x-sect or long. sections that are good, not the pink smears.
5. Focus studying around the major themes we discuss in the beginning of lab and during wrap up.
6. When designing the practical it isn’t unlikely that we will use Flickr to jog our memory for good questions.
