[Nfb-science] anatomy and physiology course

[Larry D. Keeler]

At Washtenaw Community college and at Eastern Michigan Michigan university, 
WCC and EMu respectively, I took many biology courses.  We could use models, 
labb assistants and modified testing.  My lab assistant would describe 
tissues, bacteria and other such things seen through a microscope.  I would 
then identify them.  Also, if the instructor thaught we would be heard, we 
took our test separately.
