WELCOME MESSAGE
Welcome to Human Anatomy & Physiology I (BI 204), the study of the structure and function of your body!
This course is conducted in a blended format. This means that ~50% of your work (and your grade) will be completed on campus and ~50% will be completed online. The on-campus meetings are for completion of the laboratory component and the online activities are for completion of the traditional "classroom lecture" component.
You will use WebCT to complete the lecture component. WebCT is a powerful, online, virtual learning environment. With WebCT we can go well beyond the traditional "classroom lecture". In addition to online mini-lectures, we will hold online discussions and use online quizzes to practice for exams.
I look forward to meeting you all, both online and in lab. Best wishes for a fun and successful semester,
- Prof. Hensley
