	Course Schedule
Points Possible		Lab	Due Date
65		Lab 1: Objectives Read over “Kim’s 10/20 Measurements” (you will get a printed copy in lab) Learn how to properly measure and mark a bald mannequin head in lab Perform a full set of measurements in lab Perform a check off in lab Complete nomenclature in lab Watch videos prior to lab Lab 1: Assignments Participation points will be earned in class. 25 points will be awarded from completing the nomenclature in class. 25 points will be awarded for having all marks plotted on your mannequin head in class. There is nothing due prior to lab. Both assignments will be completed collectively in class.
145		Lab 2: Objectives Perform Check Off 1 on mannequin with hair in lab Introduce scrub and paste application Perform Check Off 2 on classmate in lab Watch Weaver Video prior to lab Watch Kim’s Mannequin Head Measurements prior to lab MiRIS Form and Verify My Measurements will be reviewed in lab Lab 2: Assignments This assignment MUST be completed prior to our mandatory lab (NO EXCEPTIONS). I need to see that you have measured and marked 3 people (not mannequins). You need to submit photos in Canvas. Do not put electrodes on your “patients”. I need to see each mark. You need to use 3 different people. Set your timers and use this assignment as a prep for your check off. For your check off (in lab) you will have 30 minutes to complete a set of measurements.
