This lab-only course is designed as a standalone addition to StraighterLine's Anatomy & Physiology I course. Students will complete at home laboratory experiments, track and record results and take lab-based questions reflected in the graded lab reports, and complete lab-based assessments to meet the lab requirement. The labs are provided by eScience Labs, a leading provider of at home lab kits and supplemental online materials. This course will give the student a solid foundation for further study into laboratory sciences.

This Course Includes:

  • 48 hours grading turn-around
  • Live technical and student support
  • Free transcription to your destination school
  • 150+ partner college and universities with direct articulation

Please note: This lab course involves dissections of both tissue and animal specimens.

Information about the required lab kit is available in the "Course Text" tab below.

The course was ok. It needed more practice and review opportunities such as Learn Smart or another review system.

It is a complete course and you learn a lot, however the tests even though they are open book are challenging. Especially, come mid-term or final there are no reviews and questions can be very specific. There really is no way to be that versed in all of anatomy down to some of the questions asked. Otherwise, good course to get out the way for better things.

This class was on the first 18 chapters of the book. I found that reading each chapter completely was most helpful (not just taking notes of the highlighted words). Each topic took me on average of 8-10 hours to complete except for the topics that covered two chapters, those ones took more like 14-16 hours. The quiz questions mostly come from the book and not the online videos, but you should still watch them. And a lot of the information is on the cellular lever which was kind of hard to get used to, be sure that you know the processes of how things work. they like to put that on the quizes.

I found the course material and layout to be very doable. Taking the course online was great for my busy schedule and the slideshows for each chapter made learning the material a little easier. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

It was very difficult. This was my first experience with an online course. The content was good. It would have been too difficult to take at home without a professor if this was your first class and you were not familiar with the human body. I am an xray/CT technologist and struggled with it.

I love that Straighterline offers courses that are "go at your own pace." There were some days/weeks where I had more time to study and/or complete assignments and other days/weeks where I had little or no time. I also liked the format of blackboard. First-time user and did fine with it.

Course Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to take Anatomy & Physiology I with Lab though we highly recommend concurrent enrollment in Anatomy & Physiology I (BIO201).

This course utilizes custom lab kit from eScience Labs which costs $224 plus shipping from eScienceLabs.com (please use the “Have a code?” button). Search for Kit5310. Please note that purchasing the correct kit is essential to your success in the course.

Students also planning to enroll in StraighterLine’s Anatomy & Physiology II Lab (BIO202L) can purchase a combined lab kit for both courses for $347 (plus shipping) by searching for the code Kit5312.

StraighterLine provides a percentage score and letter grade for each course. A passing percentage is 70% or higher.
If you have chosen a Partner College to award credit for this course, your final grade will be based upon that college's grading scale. Only passing scores will be considered by Partner Colleges for an award of credit. There are a total of 1000 points in the course:
