    Rekkusu, I think all new students have the "My application" tab to see how they are going with their enrolment and stuff I think. We probably didn't have that tab when we were first year-ers.

    Experiment

    Well, a simple experiment that I can think of is to use those Berrcoca (sp?) pills which dissolves in water. You can have a original pill representing one SA:V ratio, and then another pill cut up into 4 pieces representing a higher SA:V ratio, and then a third pill cut up into 8 pieces...

    Wanted to make some things clear...

    I think people have explained the genetic questions fairly clearly so I won't try to explain it further. Correct. Enzymes are involved in digestions, DNA replication, repair etc... No. Macronutrients are in fact physically larger. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids can all be a large...

    HELP!!!!~! Evolution~!

    For Q1, DNA hydridisation refers to binding of two strands of DNA.

You allow them to hybridise (or anneal). The...

    For textbooks that are prescribed for the course, they only allow you to borrow them for a maximum of two hours. Any longer they will fine you. So no... you cannot keep it for the entire semester for yourself....

    Major textbook dilemma!!!

    The main book you need is "Biology 7E". The other book listed is just a bonus for you to have and it is probably irrelevant to you in BABS1201. So pick withever bonous book you want.

    To risky to miss 1 chem lecture a week?

    hahahhaah. I hardly see how chem pracs relates to the lectures most of the time. Most of the experiments are really different to the HSC Chem pracs. Most of them are quantitative and measure how much products you have got and calculations. And some titration stuff... For BABS, you will be...

    MedSci Enrolment Help

    kmk, as for CHEM, the fundamental one has 1 more lecture per week than the higher version, but 1 hr less lab per week. Do you like more theory or more practical work? If you like more theory, then choose fundamental. People who do Higher are compensated for better scaling, so they are NOT...

    Guide To The Writing Of The PIP

    The structure of the PIP suggested by Kulazzi in this thread is meant to be a guide only. It is not meant to be a definitive. The past PIPs posted on this forum have all achieved High Distinction standards, but this does not mean it is the only way to write your PIP to get a good mark.

    MedSci Enrolment Help

    Correct. As to your elective, if you are good in English, then choose Psyc. It requires reports writings but soemtimes the lectures can be boring. Do maths if you're a maths person! But how good the course is depends on whether you get a good lecturer or not... Both are pretty similar in...

    Biochemistry Tut times

    It was okay. Apparently it's similar to the Fundamental version but the adv. version has more labs. It's better to do the adv version if you want to continue to do BIOC3XXX courses in Third year.
