Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual

Liz (Elizabeth) Co is an assistant clinical professor in the Departments of Biology and Health Sciences at Boston University. She teaches human anatomy, human physiology and physiology of reproduction classes. As a professor, Dr. Co is renowned for her passion -- both about the human body and about learning itself. In 2018 she was nominated by students and members of the faculty at Boston University and received the Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching, Boston University’s highest teaching award. Dr. Co’s current research focuses on learning, particularly critical-thinking skills development. Within her large introductory courses she integrates an active learning and study skills curriculum. One of the focal points she investigates is how “student awareness about their learning impacts their assessment performance.” She serves on the physiology learning objective panel of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society, and works with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute on a project developing educational resources for use in anatomy, physiology and biology courses. Hilary Engebretson is an associate professor in the science and engineering department at Whatcom Community College in Washington State. She teaches both the lecture and lab components of Human Anatomy and Physiology 1, Human Anatomy and Physiology 2, and Human Biology. She approaches teaching these classes as a collaborative effort between instructor and students. As an academic, Hilary’s first love and primary focus is teaching, so it is no surprise that her research is about teaching and learning in higher education anatomy and physiology courses. She explores how students seek help in these classes and how instructors can facilitate and improve students’ effective help-seeking actions at college and university.
