That's me on the left with my friend, Yorick (Yorick's the one with no hair). Actually, not only did I not know Yorick, I've no idea who the fellow was. Anyway, Hamlet is for a course in British Literature. Let's get on with the continuation of your study of human structure and function.

I've been teaching this material for about 25 years at various colleges, but never like this. This will be a new way of doing old things for all of us. You'll be on your own a good bit, with me to guide you. Your lessons and responsibilities will be spelled out in detail. "All" you must do is keep up with everything, submit assignments on time, familiarize yourself with the prescribed lab material, and be ready to do well on the tests. You won't be entirely alone, however. I and your classmates will be around via email and in our Discussion Forum. Also, you'll have access to all the usual services at the College, including the laboratories.

Now, let's attend to some details:
