It's what I imagined the Roman Coliseum battles would have been like.

Unless you're particularly savvy with maths, yes it's a hard exam.

Have you tried the last 4 exams that Christine put up on LMS?
Personally I think they're pretty fair, a lot of it is stuff that came straight out of the lectures/problem sheets but some of them are like assignment-level of difficulty. I'm still completely reliant on my notes so I have no idea how I'm gonna remember how to do everything off the top of my head  by Monday  :-\

btw you do Glee Singing right?

Is the battle still going? Beyond the OP's reply to the reply?
There is another one that is equally, if not more, hilarious.

Guy's girlfriend cheats on him with his house mate. So the guy takes his house mate's phone, resets the alarm and makes his house mate miss his exam.

BIOM20001 exam A was a very fair exam. One of the best fill-in-the-blank sections I've ever had, actually. There were enough recycled questions and most people seemed to finish with ample time to spare. Hopefully this is a sign of what to expect for exam B!

idk have we? I was in John's lecture stream at 10-11 and my tutes were on Tue 11-12.
For Glee what songs did you guys sing this semester? And would you advise against having the tute and then the lecture back-to-back (in that order)? I might cram all the contact hours together into one mega Glee Singing sesh but idk if that's a good idea.
And good luck with calc! Just power through those exams and I'm sure you'll be fine for Monday  :P

Probably not the ideal order to have the tute first, although, in first year I put every class back to back so I could have days off. It was okay, but 9-5 on my uni days with no breaks was pretty tough, especially in week 12.

Ah yes, it's because your cohort needs a leg up to cope. ;)

Not looking forward to M2M tomorrow.

Does anyone here do research-based phys? Am I the only one who doesn't remember learning anything in the subject relevant to the last question about exercise in pregnant women? After sitting there with a blank mind for ages, I finally came up with an answer but not from stuff we had learnt this semester... I even asked Val if the values were right because nothing like it came up during the semester!
