Notes:

· Under this model, 25 chapters are covered, or 24 if you don’t count Chapter 52

· The midpoint of the course is two lectures into the strxr/fnctn/physiology unit. Perhaps this is the place where the instructor change could take place. Not perfect, but no big deal.

· The exams don’t correspond neatly to topic area breakpoints, but they do divide the material into more or less equal sized chunks.

· Let’s adjust as necessary to avoid scheduling bio exams in the same week as chemistry exams.
