PART C
Welcome to Physiology 100. I'm Doctor Ann Roberts. I assume everyone here is a sophomore, since this is the Nursing Department second-year physiology course. If you are first-year nursing students, please see me after class about transferring into introductory course. Okay, I'd like to begin my first lecture by introducing two important terms, vitalism versus mechanism. How many of you have heard of these terms? Oh, I see some of you have. Well, vitalism and mechanism are two completely opposite approaches to human physiology. According to the vitalist, the laws of physics and chemistry alone can not explain the processes of life. To the vitalist, there is a so-called vital force, and this vital force is totally separate from that of energy. As you may have guessed, vitalism is a kind of philosophical approach. Mechanism, on the other hand, is the view that all life phenomena, no matter how complex, can be explained according to chemical and physical laws. Since we can support mechanism through scientific experimentation, the modern scientist tends to be a mechanist. But vitalism is not totally dismissed, especially in fields such as brain physiology, where terms such as human consciousness haven't been defined yet in physic-chemical terms. I recently read an interesting article dealt with this very question. Is the mind separate from brain, or is the mind only the chemical and physiological workings of the brain? I'd like to continue with this next time, so that we can speak in more detail. I have some copies of that article. And I want you to take it with you and read it for next week.
36. For whom is the lecture intended?
37. When is this lecture given?
38. How would a vitalist view the functions of the mind?
39. What does the professor tell her students to do?
W: Art Department, the treasurer Brown speaking.
M: Hello, Professor Brown, my name is Frak Meloy. I'm thinking of taking your course in acrylic painting, and I'm calling to find more about it.
W: Have you ever worked with acrylic paints?
M: I've done very little painting at all. I'm a chemistry major, but I enjoy drawing and the course description says that any student can sign up. I assume that means that experience in painting isn't necessary.
W: Yes, that's right. We'll be using acrylic paints instead of oils because they are easier to handle and dry more quickly. Also, beginning students can get a good feel for what they can do with textures by working with acrylic paints.
M: My roommate is also a chemistry major but he has painted quite a bit. If he

signed up for the course, would he find it too easy?
W: No, he could work on using techniques he already knows and applying them to principles of composition, color and design. There's something for everyone in this course.
M: One more question: Do we need to bring our own brushes and paints to class?
W: Yes, you can buy them at the bookstore. I'll provide drawing board and any other supplies that's necessary. I hope you decide to join us.
M: It sounds interesting, I'll definitely register today.
W: Fine. See you next Monday afternoon, Don't forget your brushes and paints.
40. Who's the man?
41. What does the man want to find out?
42. According to the woman, what is one main advantage of the acrylic paints?
43. According to the woman, what can beginning painters do with the acrylic paints？

Now I 'd like to talk to you about the final exam. The exam will be held next Thursday, the last day of the exam week. Remember to bring along two or three pens in case you run out of ink. Unlike the midterm, this test will not include multiple-choice questions. It'll consist entirely of essays. You'll have to answer three of the five essay- questions. The exam will be comprehensive, which means you'll be responsible for all of the subject matter we've covered in class. I would suggest you review your mid-term's as well as the text book and your class notes, The final will count for 50% of your grade in the course. The research project will count for 20%, and the mid-tern 30%. I'll be in my office almost all day on Tuesday next week. If you run into any problems, please fell free to stop in. Good luck with your studying, and I'll see you on Thursday.
46. When will the exam take place?
47. What should the students bring with them to the exam?
48. What will be format of the exam?
49. Why does the teacher call the exam comprehensive?
50. When is this talk most likely being given?
