Well, I guess its that time of year again. Mom's been working out our assignment lists and boy do they ever look impressive. I'll post mine here and link to Mom's blog so that you can read my sibling's lists.
Here's mine: (the asterisks stand for credits earned when completed)

*Anatomy and Physiology of Large Animals (yes, this is a vet course, but she really wanted to do this for advanced biology. She will need to learn background material as well. I think I’ll grade it by having her do a report or a hands-on project for each chapter. She has at least two job shadowing days planned with vets, so that will help. If this becomes too challenging, we will change our plans.)
