:o Yeah, I know, I shouldn't complain. The comments don't really match up to the marks though, which is why it's weird. Shutting up now.

that sucks :( (And it does make sense, I know what you mean.) I swear it's a job requirement for whoever marks/marked all our BIOS assignments to be cranky and overly pedantic. I read over the leaf litter thing looking for some constructive feedback in the comments and instead got a big load...

Yeah, bio has plenty of "human stuff" (hehe) in it. Don't worry, if it was all "plant stuff" it would be pretty dull, but thankfully it's not. In year 12 bio (off the top of my head), you cover how enzymes work, the circulatory system/blood, kidney function (a bit), genetics, DNA replication...

So, ecology exam today was surprisingly harder than I expected. :mad1: You'd think environmental science would be one part knowledge, one part common sense and one part bullcrapping ability, but no, it also involves accurately knowing the current figure for the world population estimate by...

:spzz: No. Senior science is the most horribly draining subject I ever did. Draining because it was so damn BORING. It's not interesting. At all. Don't ever pick senior science, k guys? Crap subject, crap scaling, crap material. The end.

Nah. Not quite. Vaccines stimulate the body's immune response, causing stimulation of the production of antibodies needed to fight off a particular pathogen (or antigen). This usually occurs because vaccines contain either a dead or inactive form of the pathogen, so the recepient does not...

...I have. First impression of first ever uni exam: amazed at just how unwelcoming the supervisors are (in comparison to HSC). I mean I'm not expecting a plush red carpet and beaming smiles and being personally escorted to my seat. But to walk into a room only to be greeted with a sudden...

...or transfer to a different degree that was more enjoyable, and hence easier.

No, I haven't touched dry ice (mainly because they kept telling us not to touch it?), but putting dry ice in a test tube, covering it with water and then adding phenolphthphthpthphthphthalein (and something else) was the most awesome thing I have ever seen during chem labs at uni. A bright pink...

Nah, if it's what you really want to do, go for it. omg, me too. I also used to team up with a few others during bio labs in high school, grab a couple of test tube holders (the 'big pegs', not the test tube racks), and then see how many we could clip to a particular classmate's skirt...

Why don't/didn't you? interestingly I don't mind biochem that much; I understand that a lot better than all the inorganic chemistry stuff. Oh :( thanks anyway.

the above statement is now correct for me. Just spent all day on it, and :spzz:. What's the deal: they say you need to perform to a 'satisfactory' standard (or something) in the final exam itself, does that mean I have to get at least a pass in that exam in order to pass the whole course? Or...

Re: Question about peoples' inability to negotiate a footpath without getting in fron Ahahaha! Yeah, you gotta watch out for those wax people; you never know when they might start hand-clapping again. lol, in my case, I was just standing out the front of a particular store, waiting for my...

Re: Question about peoples' inability to negotiate a footpath without getting in fron YES PLEASE. That has happened to me too many times to count. Usually in shopping centres though. (actually that just reminded me, someone thought I was a shop mannequin today :o That was lol.) The...

:rolleyes: Some of these are probably double-ups of previous reviews for these subjects, but whatever, here's a second opinion. BABS1201 (Molecules, Cells and Genes) Ease: 8/10 If you did HSC Bio, quite a lot of the lectures for this course basically build on the content you've...

No, it was literally referring to meee. :o my bad for having a bizarre way of putting things.

...this just confused me. You do realise I am the 'black jacket girl', amiright?; or did you think I was talking about enthused? (because I wouldn't call her a 'nerdy looking chick'). (Bloody internet.) lol?

and I spotted you again today, talking briefly to some nerdy-looking chick in a black jacket. :rolleyes:

Can I ask a question myself actually, what is it about BIOS1101 that's so difficult? I've heard totally conflicting reports about it; most people (like you) seem to say it's really really hard, but on the other hand the uni emailed me saying that if you got over 75 for HSC Bio, you don't even...
