Here is the course schedule for Systemic Pathology (DDS 6254) for fall 2026. Here are a few things to be aware of:
- All of our in-class lectures will be in Moos 2-690.
- I will be on vacation from September 17 – October 12, so for the class sessions that occur during that time period, I posted recorded videos for you to watch. As we get closer to that time period, I will post here and email you about how to reach me when I am gone, and with more specifics how the exam will take place. I intend to have regular office hours while I am gone and also make myself available should anyone want to schedule a one-on-one Kahoot. And I’ll be checking my email all the time.
- Lectures are scheduled to be recorded by Mediasite and I’ll post them as soon as they are available (usually the same day).
- Quizzes 1 and 3 will be done in the classroom using Kahoot.
- Exam Review sessions 1, 3, and 4 will be done in the classroom using Kahoot.

I’ll leave plenty of time for the answers, particularly those that cover the information we will have just covered today. Let me know if you have accommodations and we’ll figure out what is best for you.
- Mock exam. This exam will not count for any points – but I want to be sure that the exam works for you when the time comes – so best to iron out any kinks now. I’ll post more information about what you need to have in order to take the exam during the first week of class.

Exam 1 (covering all lectures from 9/9 – 9/23). Delivered via Canvas, Proctored remotely using Honorlock. Per University policy, you must take the exam during class time. You can use the exam room if you like, since it will be available, but you may also take it at another place of your choosing that is quiet and with minimum distractions. Since we’ll be considered an online class during this period, we will be allowed to use remote Honorlock Proctoring settings. I’ll talk about this with you before I leave, and we’ll have a mock exam in-class so we know things will work on exam day.
