    i know theres at least one or two of you that were lucky enough to pick this electice i just have a couple of questions about it..
    is the exam tomorrow from the start of term or from the last test?
    And is anyone actually doing much study for it?i got 68% in the assessment and 80% for all my assignments..have i nearly passed or what?and is the test tomorrow negative marking(i presume so yea ..?)

    iv got a pretty tough exam on tuesday that im real worried about so want to do as little as possible for biology today..any answers to these questions would be great :D

    All the answers to those questions are in your course outline. Is there a copy on blackboard?

    Where did you find the answers to your other Qs?


  • Registered Users Posts: 473 ✭✭Ballerina


    well martin sheer posted an announcement saying how many questions would be from each lecturers stuff and therell be 8 on his and he hasnt lectured since the test...and im assuming its negative marking because the last one was...are you doing this elective??

    Well the cancer lectures could be in the 8 Martin Sheer Qs cause he says they include guest speakers. As for the fossils + climate stuff I think having a rough idea of what the graphs indicate will prob cover some of the Qs (not that bad cause some of them are kinda repeated.

    The test will cover all the lectures, though I'm pretty sure it'll have more Qs on the stuff covered after the test, thou the stuff that was on the test is examinable.

    I'm pretty sure it'll be negative marking of - 0.25, n the test is worth 50%. I'm doing this elective (Kapt isn't, I don't think). I skipped the last 5 weeks of lectures, just went to the tutorials for the marks, haven't started studying, have another test to study for tomorrow which is a core subject yet I'm still not worried about it. I think a flick through the notes, + knowing about bio in general (I'm doing physio so I'm a bit bio geeky anyway...) will be grand. I probably should be more concerned but I'm really not! I have fate that the LC bio knowledge will cover me for some of the Qs.
