This lab-only course is designed as a standalone addition to StraighterLine's Anatomy & Physiology I course. Students will complete at home laboratory experiments, track and record results and take lab-based questions reflected in the graded lab reports, and complete lab-based assessments to meet the lab requirement. The labs are provided by eScience Labs, a leading provider of at home lab kits and supplemental online materials. This course will give the student a solid foundation for further study into laboratory sciences.
Please note: This lab course involves dissections of both tissue and animal specimens.
Information about the required lab kit is available in the "Course Text" tab below.

The course was ok. It needed more practice and review opportunities such as Learn Smart or another review system.
good course has a few bugs . but overall very well done.
It is a complete course and you learn a lot, however the tests even though they are open book are challenging. Especially, come mid-term or final there are no reviews and questions can be very specific. There really is no way to be that versed in all of anatomy down to some of the questions asked. Otherwise, good course to get out the way for better things.
This course was easy to navigate and I learned lots
This class was on the first 18 chapters of the book. I found that reading each chapter completely was most helpful (not just taking notes of the highlighted words). Each topic took me on average of 8-10 hours to complete except for the topics that covered two chapters, those ones took more like 14-16 hours. The quiz questions mostly come from the book and not the online videos, but you should still watch them. And a lot of the information is on the cellular lever which was kind of hard to get used to, be sure that you know the processes of how things work. they like to put that on the quizes.
I found the course material and layout to be very doable. Taking the course online was great for my busy schedule and the slideshows for each chapter made learning the material a little easier. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
it was great!
Dont understand the question
I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace. I found the study guides from the professor to be helpful.
Great!
Great class that makes material easier to learn
no joke
Great course that systematically steps you through Anatomy and Physiology.
none in my head right now
It was very difficult. This was my first experience with an online course. The content was good. It would have been too difficult to take at home without a professor if this was your first class and you were not familiar with the human body. I am an xray/CT technologist and struggled with it.
Perfect in every way. One knows what to expect on quizzes, exams, and final. Tutorials, tutoring, and extra materials are provided if needed.
A lot of work but the labs could have been done better
I like the lab portion because it was very fun and engaging.
I liked being able to take it on my own time at home.
I liked that it was online for a good price and transferable to my college.

I liked the Endocrine System topic
I liked the labs
I liked the Labs, hand-on.
I love that Straighterline offers courses that are "go at your own pace." There were some days/weeks where I had more time to study and/or complete assignments and other days/weeks where I had little or no time. I also liked the format of blackboard. First-time user and did fine with it.

The lab quizes were very helpful!
the lessons were interesting. Content was relevant to my profession.
The quizzes, because they really tested my knowledge
The virtual labs and online lessons were presented in an interesting manner.
