BS 672 Syllabus
This page is the full syllabus for a hypothetical class called BS 672, taught by Dr. Horatius A. Quigley. The class lasts for one browser session and there is no final exam.
Objectives for the first week are easy: after using our new computer-based tutorial, you should know:
the normal direction of rotation of a person's brain inside their head
how a human brain and a human heart look different
IMPORTANT! When you are finished looking at each picture, click back on the Netscape window (the one with the dark gray background) for further instructions!
Click on the following hypertext link to look at a picture of a brain:
An image of the BRAIN
Did you notice all the funny bumps and squiggles? Here, let's look at another:
Another BRAIN
(you'll notice the two brains look pretty much the same, except they're facing
in different directions.)
I'll bet you didn't know that a person's brain normally rotates around inside their head, did you? That's because you're not as smart as Professor Quigley. Here, just to prove it, we'll show you a movie of how it REALLY LOOKS in there (be patient while it loads up, then click the triangular play button in the lower left corner): As The Brain Turns
OK, so now you know what the brain looks like from all angles. Just for variety, I want you to look at a picture of a heart, instead: A picture of a HEART
Pretty obvious, isn't it? The heart has little squiggly things on it, too, but they're reddish and bluish. Those are the veins and arteries. You'll notice (if you click back on one of the other items on this page) that the brain never has any arteries or veins. So now you know all you'll ever need to know about THAT subject.
