This

for
those
individuals

a
specific
interest

dissection
experience
using
human
anatomical
specimens.
If

this
lab,
you

You
will
be
responsible
for
a
larger
amount
of
material
than
the
students i
n
the
other labs.
Therefore,
this
lab will take more time and dedication. You will also receive one (1) additional credit hour for the lab.

appropriate arrangements to attend.
7.

We
are
looking
for
students
with good verbal communication skills and the ability and/or willingness to
work
with
students
in
a
teaching
capacity.
Students
are
required
to
spend
additional
time
going
over
the
material
with
students
in
the
other
labs.
9.
Since
the
cadavers
are
used
as
a learning
tool
for
many
students,
the dissections
need
to
be performed
well.
We
are
looking
for
students
with
good
fine
motor
skills
and
the
time,
effort,
and
ability
to
do
a
good
job
dissecting.
10.
The
use
of
human
specimens
is
a
valuable
experience,
and one
that
we
are
sure
you will
come to
appreciate.
These are persons
who
have donated
their
bodies
to
the study
of
science,
and
you
must
remember
that
they deserve respect. Therefore, you will be expected to behave with tact at all times within the
lab,
i.e.
no crude
comments,
etc.
We will
be very
strict
about
behavior
in
and
around
the cadaver
lab.
