Introduction to Lab Quizzes - Read this NOW.

This is not an actual quiz,

it's just some instructions placed here for convenience.  You will take a series of quizzes on the lab notes.  They are all open book but they go by quickly and are timed short to close quickly giving you plenty of time to look up the answer in a box or line that you've already filled in your completed lab manual chapter for the quiz but not enough time to go find the answer from any other source.  That's why it's critical that you have completed all the boxes and lines in the lab manual prior to starting the quiz.  The quizzes are all open from the beginning (in case you wish to work ahead of schedule) but they close at specific days/times and you have limited time once you enter the quiz so have your notes ready and move quickly.  They are typically closed before noon of the next week's lab period (noon, not midnight).

You have one chance to answer the questions and you cannot go back.  You have one pass through the questions and cannot go back.  You have 10 minutes to answer them ALL, all 10 questions in 10 minutes.  That's plenty of time if you've done all the work before you open the quiz, and by, "done all the work" I mean you have filled in all the blanks and lines and drawings requested for the lab manual chapter for which you're taking the quiz.  ALL of them need to be filled in because ALL of them are fair game for quiz questions.  Quizzes are open book but the lab EXAMS are not.  For those you will need to have committed the lab materials to memory.  Lab quizzes may ask about anything found in the lab manual pages.  Lab EXAM fair game material is limited to that which we cover to any extent in lecture.  Ie. if the lab manual has you complete a box or line to label a skull feature we don't cover in lecture you may be asked about that in an open book 10 point lab quiz but I won't ask about that in either the lab or lecture exams.  Use the lecture pdf notes to limit the lab and lecture material that you commit to memory.

One other thing to know:

This lab manual is quite good, however, there are some things which are occasionally wrong or need a bit of additional instruction.  If that is the case then the title of the quiz will contain this instruction, "Be ready to screenshot".  That means there are errata (errors) or additional instructions I'd like you to have.  But, the quizzes are timed so you'll need to get those in a more permanent form that you may refer to later.  So, have your phone ready or take a screenshot of the instructions as soon as you open the quiz.  Save that to refer back to later.

Here is one sample question you may find in a quiz:

#1 = Lab 1, Exercise 1-2 #1, “Fill in the blank…”
“The knee is _______________to the hip.

o Distal

o Proximal
o Superficial
o Inferior

Once you see this on a quiz you then go to your lab notes, scan to, "Exercise 1-2", find, "#1", it should read, "#1 Fill in the Blank".  Once you have the correct Exercise and number (here, "#1"),  you then look at what you placed in the blank, "The knee is _______distal_______to the hip."  That is the answer, "o Distal", choose that one, touch the, "o" to select it.  Watch for the occasional multiple answer, where you may have to check more than one, "o" to be completely correct.

Lab EXAM questions are different and there is a lab practice exam given before the actual lab exam so you may become familiar with those types of questions.  In fact, you can and should go look ahead, find the, "Lab MT practice exam" and take a look at it to see the difference between lab QUIZZES v. lab EXAMS so you may be prepared.

Each quiz is worth 10 pts. total.  There are a total of 10 quizzes for a total 100 points from these quizzes.

3. Relate structure of tissues and organs to their function.
4. Manipulate cadaver dissections and other lab specimens to understand structural relationships in the body.
