Hah, oh wow

Take it from lordgarlic Rye; our exam last year was basically 3 hours of vomitting lecture slides onto the exam paper. There was no thinking involved except for some mathematical calculations, you needed to memorise as much as you can and it's not much different for you guys.

(yy) haha, thanks
i was mainly looking for answers on gov pop's Q above
but i guess i'll get a somewhat similar reply
 
you'll be as cynical and bitter once you sit that pop health exam. It seriously is just 3 hours of vomiting lecture slides. The best part is, you don't know which lecture. So it's gambling and vomiting really unless you learn every slide
 
haha sounds scary! just a quick question, when will we know what rooms we are allocated in for the exams and how do we get to know this?
 
hey guys i've been working through some of the past pop health exams and some of the questions they've just literally repeated word for word. like i'm doing the questions and i'm thinking 'hold on a second' haven't i done this before?
Here's hoping the situation remains like that for this year as well

not cynical nor bitter here.. was just kidding around with my comments before

you sir, is absolutely right
 
didn't realise that the muscles lecturer couldn't be f**ked putting everything in lecture slides, but instead having 90% of it in lecture guide...
my mistake anyways for the assumption... 4am
now time for 3 hours of swallowing the left over pop health facts
and then sh** it all out over that mother f**king paper
 
that was one stuffed up 107 test. Anyone know where the last question came from at all. I easily lost like 5 or 6 marks on that one. totally guessed most of the words to fit into the situation. I don't think I like the muscle teacher no more. :(
 
Agreed (n)

Also, I felt sorta ok about the poplhlth test, until I heard that other people wrong heeaps for their answers, like two pages per question. Now I'm not sure If i wrote enough...its meant to be short answer (like few sentences) though right?

ohhh well, time for chem :wacko:
 
all of the poplhlth questions said 'briefly describe' or 'explain in one sentence'. dont worry about it, id be more worried if i were the people who wrote 2 pages per question.

And yeah, what was up with the muscle section, that was the first thing i read during the reading time and I thought 'well this is new'
Oh well, the easiness of the neurons section made up for it :P

Thanks :) I loved the neurons section, it was like you didn't have to any thinkg at all lol
 
hey I have a question to peers. Can we actually be tested on stuff that was not covered in the lectures at all. Like there were about 1 or 2 sentences max about one of the short answer questions that was worth 10 bloody marks. in the lecture notes. I don't think the lecturer has gone into that depth of answering in his lectures. Pretty much the entire muscle section was based on these 2 sentences in a page.
