This lab-only course is designed as a standalone addition to StraighterLine's Anatomy & Physiology II 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. A Fetal Pig is one of the specimens required for dissection during this lab.

Information about the required lab kit is available in the "Course Text" tab below.

Course Prerequisites

StraighterLine suggests, though does not require, that students take Anatomy & Physiology I and Anatomy & Physiology I Lab or its equivalent before enrolling in Anatomy & Physiology II Lab. We also recommend concurrent enrollment in Anatomy & Physiology II (BIO202).

Custom Lab Kit from eScienceLabs.com (please register here, and then use the “Have a code?” button) which is $201.00; please enter this code [KIT5311] to ensure that you purchase the correct Lab. Enrolling in BIO201 and BIO202 Labs?: if you are planning to take both labs, consider the combined lab kit which saves over $60. Use this code to purchase [KIT5312]

StraighterLine provides a percentage score and letter grade for each course. A passing percentage is 70% or higher.
If you have chosen a Partner College to award credit for this course, your final grade will be based upon that college's grading scale. Only passing scores will be considered by Partner Colleges for an award of credit. There are a total of 1000 points in the course:

So much easier to complete on a PC. My home computer is a mac. I really wish straigherline would invest in reformatting their assignments to be compatible.

This course held some interesting information and materials. The only thing I wish they had was more step by step dissection pictures to help with the process.
