Something I Hate About Biology Class:

The diagrams never, EVER look anything like the photos or the specimens, making it impossible to label things with any confidence of being correct. I know, every specimen is a little different, yadda yadda, but a little resemblance would not hurt. Or, hey, how about using an actual photo for us to label?

Whatever. So much for the sheep's heart. Now I have to go label this thing that looks nothing like the frog I dissected last weekend. (PS, dissecting things is Something I Love About Biology Class. Just to be fair.)

That always drove me up the freaking wall too (still does... when I TAed our Bio1A lab I couldn't identify anything, and it was extremely embarrassing. But! I discovered that if you google "[organism] dissection anatomy" and then look at the images you can find labeled photos... SO useful for studying. And TAing. :)
