Two subjects this week. The nervous system on Monday with one video and two worksheets, and the endocrine system on Thursday with one video and two worksheets. Each worksheet links its notes page, its spaced-recall cards, the printable lab, and the Canvas submit. Wednesday is your discussion. Special senses are not covered this term.
Same four steps every pre-work day. The order matters. The retrieval check is what makes the cards work.
Pick the day's topic from the list below. Print that day's lab workbook before you sit down. Breaking flow to find a printer is where good study sessions die.
Finishing the video is what starts the retrieval gate. Read the fill-in-the-blank notes alongside it.
Pull together what the video just taught you. Submitting unlocks the spaced-recall cards for the topic.
DOK 1 to DOK 3 cards. They carry over into future Daily Reviews so the work compounds.

Each pre-work day takes about 30 to 45 minutes if you sit with it. The retrieval check is the part that makes it stick. Do not skip writing those 60 words, even when the cards look like the easier path.
If you fall behind on a day, do that day's topic first before moving to the next. The spaced-recall cards only schedule properly when you have done the work on the topic page first.

Brain and spinal cord first. PNS only makes sense after you have the central wiring down.
