Scavenger Hunts
There will be 4 scavenger hunts in this course. A scavenger hunt is a lab exercise in which each student is assigned one structure and is asked to locate it on a glass slide. Textbooks and atlases may be used as references. Students should confer with other members of their lab group. When the group agrees that the correct structure has been located, the student shows it to a lab instructor. Each of the 5 students in that lab group receives one point toward their final grade for each structure correctly identified. Thus each scavenger hunt is worth 5 points and is really the equivalent of a collaborative open-book lab quiz. A missed scavenger hunt can be made up provided that the course director has been notified prior to the date of the lab, and has excused the absence.
