First you need to know what taxonomy is. Define what it is and then relate that definition to its role in shaping our scientific thinking. Consider why scientists need to classify things to its precies group (genus, species)? What is biotechnology? What are some of the examples? What the...

I did three videos when I did the course. My notes are here: http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=38009

Unfortunately there is no data given by the Board of Studies on the Raw mark cut offs for this subject.

I have just finished a B MedSc with honours at the end of last year. Now doing a PhD in microbiology and immunology. If you are interested in posting up your notes, you are very welcome to do so, either submit through the main BOS website or e-mail me. We need more resources/notes for ESL...

The UAC publishes scaling of HSC marks every year. The top HSC mark in ESL, 97, was scaled to 100 for the calculation of UAI. What are you up to Eveline? At uni?

I'm not too sure. Check with your course coordinator/tutor/demonstrator. Some courses hand out free course manuals.

You should be able to purchase the manual from the UNSW Bookshop near the Quad.

As if! The salary of a reserch assistant goes up every year and a top level RA has a salary of 98k p.a.

Yeah, PhD is going great - I'm 1 month into it now. I am still waiting for them to pay me for my scholarship. I am doing Peer Mentoring on Tuesdays. What day are you on? I am also teaching Med, and MICR2011 on Friday. Soemone asked me to tutor Microbial Genetics but I didn't want to. :P As...

I mean it is entirely up to you. Personally I don't thin biochemistry is harder than subjects like physiology or histology. There is a lot of contents to be learnt in any of these courses. Biochemistry is definitely useful and can actually supplement your learning in physiology and pathology...

The Henderson's Dictionary of Biological Terms is good because its definitions are easy to understand.

I would recommend "Cell Biology" in second session, which is a new course offered by BABS in 2008.

What I would suggest is actually purchase yourself a Biology dictionary. It was very helpful for me in first year.

The advanced course has more laboratory components when I did it. I think lecture materials are similar. I wouldn't worry about biochem if you wish to major in Path, Physio, or Pharm.

I have just graduated with a B MedSc (Hons) from UNSW and is now doing a PhD with a scholarship. I also tutor students from medicine (Phase one UNSW medicine) and science (second year microbiology). For those not interested in a PhD, a science degree with first class honours will get you a...

No. That's microbiology! Most Nanotech and biotech courses have a UAI cut off of between 75-85 at any uni.

Maybe add to the List "What jobs can I get with a MedSc degree?": - Teaching Medical and Science students (Tutorial-based) . (Which is what I am currently doing)

A GPA is a GPA regardless of which uni you are transferring from. If you decide to transfer out from BPsyc (UNSW) after 1 year to another degree at UNSW, there is no specific GPA requirement (Assuming you are not failing) if the degree you wish to transfer into has a lower UAI cut-off than BPsyc.

If you want a good income, Science is not for you. Go for medicine maybe?

You will be fine. You don't really need much chemistry knowledge in biology. There is almost no overlapping between the two courses.
