Ran in 4 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.
Regional gross anatomy of the limbs and trunk, including a brief introduction to the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. The anatomy is explored using pre-dissected human cadavers. For the limbs and trunk, the emphasis is placed on structures (muscles, nerves, and bones) involved in gross movement.

I enjoyed this lab a lot, it was really interesting and eye-opening to work with actual human cadavers. I found the bellringers harder than the KIN 100 exams; though, to be completely fair, I did very little studying for the lab in addition to my preparations for KIN 100. Keep in mind that the lab has its own midterm and final, and it's very important that you take this into consideration when you plan your courses, as this is almost like an additional course. I did not do that and took this in an already overloaded term, and struggled a bit with the workload.

go to labs and be fully engaged in them bc it's a very special opportunity to be able to see more than just plastic models of human anatomy! it really allows you to see what you're learning irl instead of just images.
overall i'd say this is harder than kin 100 only bc i think bellringers are more difficult than mc exams in general, but you just have to memorize everything. 10% of your grade comes from attendance so attend labs lolMay 2025 · liked itOn UW FlowRemove this
This course was by far my favourite course I've taken in all of my undergrad. This course pairs perfectly with KIN 100 as any knowledge gained in the lab is applicable to the lecture and vice versa. I recommend being caught up in the lectures before coming to lab as you have limited time to complete all stations and solidify your understanding but also because if you're caught up, you can treat the lab as review for the lecture. That being said, if you're behind/don't understand something, the TAs/volunteers/Jeremy will be glad to help. The bellringers can be a little difficult, but if you do well in the ones at the end of each lab, you shouldn't worry too much. Also, when I took the…

This course is very useful, and helps you apply your knowledge. It is fun and interactive, but you really need to know your stuff and study hard to succeed. It's one of those "you either know it or you don't with no in between" courses. I wish I had studied harder, as I ended up failing the midterm bellringer. I studied hard for the final and still got a decent mark in the course.

very useful, the lab itself is not hard, but make sure you study the lecture material or you could get lost

BIOL 301 vs KIN100 2 points, 5 comments
u/RealisticKinStudent: “I took KIN 100 in 1st year and BIOL 301 in 4th year. Both marks were pretty good from what I recall, but I did slightly better in BIOL 301. I think BIOL 301 is easier despite it having a mandatory lab component. KIN 100L is a separate course.”
