WELCOME BACK STUDENTS

Welcome students to the 2007-08 school year.
The text we will be using this year is :
Holes Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies; 9th edition (March 2005)

It is important for students to get the right edition of this text as it is significantly different from previous versions.

Students must order text books on their own and have them ready for the first day of class. The best prices I have found are on Amazon or Half.com

Keep posted for more Anatomy and Physiology News as the year begins
