My Syllabus

Following is the “syllabus” for my section of the comparative gross anatomy course, which is my lecture schedule.  I do not give a syllabus to the students, since they have a syllabus for the course from Dr. Cash, with my lecture schedule included.  A personal syllabus is one thing I intend to develop further; I will incorporate some of my own teaching philosophy and goals I have discussed above in a document to give the students when I start my series of lectures.
