Visceral Practical

Your task: To correctly replace all of the internal organs back into the supplied torso and correctly state the function(s) of each replaced organ. You will have 2 minutes to complete the task.

Your grade: You will start with 100 points. You will lose 1 point per second for each second over 2 minutes. You will lose 10 points for each incorrectly stated function you may correct yourself prior to finishing and receive full credit. If you get 3 or more functions incorrect, the clock will continue to run until you have corrected yourself to only have 2 or fewer errors. Therefore, the clock will only stop when both of the following conditions are met:

  • you have correctly replaced all the organs
  • you have no more than 2 errors in stating the functions of each organ

If you replace all the organs and state their functions within 2 minutes you will earn a 100%.

Practice: We only have 1 torso. We will not spend class time practicing. You will need to find your own time to come and practice you can schedule that with me. You have two weeks to prepare. Be gentle with the torso, you do not need to force any ofthe parts. If you are forcing it then you are probably wrong!

You will take the practical before or after school - see me for the sign up sheet.

The practical begins on Friday, December 15, 2006.
