Four multiple choice exams, covering material presented in class lectures and assigned readings from the text  (see the Lecture Outline for topics covered).  Each exam is worth 100 points.

Library Research Paper:
In addition to examination scores, students who want to earn an "A" or a "B" in the course,  are also required to turn in a satisfactory library research report paper on a subject related to recent advances in animal physiology.   See Library Paper for further instructions on writing this paper.  Although no grade is assigned to the paper -- only "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" -- a satisfactory paper is required to earn an "A" or a "B".   Students who are satisfied with a "C" will not be required to submit a paper.
