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 2, 3, and 4 will be done in the classroom using Kahoot.

- Mock exam. This exam is super short (5 questions), and it doesn’t count for any points – it’s just there so that you can try out the Honorlock settings prior to our September 30 exam and if there are any problems, then you’ll have time to correct them. This Mock Exam is on Canvas right now, and I’ll leave it open until 11:59 pm 9/30. Please email me if you’re having trouble getting in or getting it to work. I’f it’s something I know about, I’ll fix it with you. Otherwise, there are a lot of nice people in IT on the 16th floor, and some other people as well. So don’t worry if it doesn’t work – just email me and we’ll figure it out.
- Quiz 1. Take-home, open-book exam on Canvas. Covers all lectures from 9/9-9/16. Since this covers material from today’s lectures, And since it’s taken me a day to post it, I want to give you a few extra days to complete it – so the deadline is Tuesday, 9/22 at 11:59 pm.

Honorlock settings will not require you to use your computer’s camera or audio – so there won’t be issues with those settings. I will post a mock exam shortly so you can try out your computer’s settings at home just to make sure there are no problems on exam day.
