Not sure if doing that will help you pass the exam.
 
NOoooo. You just reminded me that there are way too many muscles in that part of your body. And having the formulas tattooed on your body could be a handy way around the system. ;)
 
urrgh, i just had a vision of all my forearm muscles being cut up...

On that note, has anyone else bought the Aptitute book for HUBS?

I compared it to the text book and was surprised to find it was almost identical, but in a more summarised format. Get your hands on one asap from the uni book shop!! Stocks are limited
 
Haha pretty sure you could just write down the radiative heat transfer formulae on your cheat sheet... even then Im pretty sure they give it to you anyway!
Lol what ever your into though I suppose..
 
Hey guys, listen up

I'm planning a group session this saturday. We can go through some seriously difficult concepts for CELS and CHEM mainly. Someone poses a question, and we all figure it out together via discussion (unless someone already knows that answer in which case they explain it, and then we move on to the next one). I think it'll be a good chance to brush up on the more difficult concepts. Maybe we could even get through some past paper questions for CHEM or CELS if you guys are keen.

Reason i'm suggesting we focus on those two papers mainly is because they undoubtedly have the harder exam questions. Some concepts are also relatively hard to grasp, like that gene knockout stuff (lecture 30 cels) or the chair representations (!?!?!?!?!!!@!!!) lol...anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know

I'll try bring skyglow along with me *cough* 100% in CELS *cough*

Btw, if someone could book a room...anywhere...that would be fantabulous

Cheers guys
 
This saturday I have my exam so I dunno about that lol. I'm free next week though and would be happy to come along. Book the room 1 week in advanced or you won't be able to get your hands on one.

Mid week sometime? Im not sure if the others are checking mso? either that or they're ignoring us maybe.. but ill be there. Ive booked 10-12 on wed now so we dont miss out (sci lib)
 
Wednesday is good, thanks for booking pete. It'd be better if there were fewer people anyway (i.e. just you me and skyglow). That way we can throw ideas at each other really quickly and get a lot done in a shorter period of time. I'll see if I can bring some white board markers (hoping its a room with a whiteboard :) ). Man there's still so much work to catch up on!! >.<

Btw I've got some physics questions I need to ask as well!! =]

I suppose CELS in Otago is similar to our BIOSCI 101 which is about molecular biology, genetics, evolution and biochemistry. Some of them we've covered in year 13 so the concepts are not too difficult. But the work load (& the memorising)! How can anyone get 100%??!
Hey skyglow can you please give us some tips as to how you study to get 100%?
 
Haha dont worry well get through it ok. ill think of some tough questions to ask you aswell. Have you done much of last years exams?
 
My raw mark was 95% and they put everyones mark up by 5% cause we did pretty badly last year in CELS lol. Asking toaster about biosci101 is probably a better idea? He got THE top mark for biomedsci101 in his year and there can be significant differences in how to approach a paper even if there's the same content or type of content.

Looking forward to it

I've done like one and a half CELS past papers, 2 HUBS , about six or so CHEM and most of the phsi papers ('92-'08).

A raw mark of 95% in CELS is still ownage. There's so much crap to learn, and the exam isn't exactly straight forward. I'd go far enough to say that CELS is the hardest paper this semester!
 
Im quite glad hubs is first! looking at last years exam it looks pretty nice! Well compared with cells anyway :p Why is there an entire question on hershey chase?!?!?
 
Their GLM or "SDL" (as it was called last year) was examined as part of the final. We've got it easy compared to the people last year (i.e. 95% raw in CELS for 2008 is stupidly high!) >.<

Btw which room did you book for tomorrow?
 
Bring whatever... it'll be realy informal, just a discussion of the hardest topics and what we don't understand etc. Hopefully we can enlighten each other xD
