Endocrinology is an advanced class. Students with no prior background in physiology, biochemistry, or neuroscience should talk with Dr. Summers.

Exams for Spring Semester will consist of 1 drawing (done at home) and 3 exams (in class).
The drawing will be of an endocrine axis, including a system drawing (brain, hypothalamus, blood vessels, pituitary, gland, target tissue) on one side (use an unlined piece of 8.5x11 white paper), and a drawing of sub-cellular features (receptors, 2^nd messengers, enzymes) on the othter. You want to start early in the semester, and begin 1^st drafts of your drawings right away.
The exams will have 2 types of questions:
(1) one question that requires a flow chart or drawing. (2) Ten to twenty short answer questions. Answer these questions with one to six words; never a sentence, never a paragraph. Questions in the exam may be comprehensive in nature. Submission Schedule for exams: Feb 8^th or 13^thMar 19, Apr 20, and the drawing at the end of the semester
Exam: ?

Graduate students should see me right away to discuss additional assignments.
