Embryology Labs Introduction

In all embryology labs, students will first be tested on their comprehension of lecture and online content of the previous week in a 10-15 minute MCQ quiz.

Some labs will host a number of guest lecturers who use embryology in their professions relevant to recent lecture and online content, and in two of the labs we will study embryo material using microscopy and we will complete worksheets. Guest lectures and embryo labs will take about 1-1.5 hour to complete.

The remainder of the lab time you will be able to work on your group projects, which you will present in the last lab of the course.
