Doing it rn or I actually will forget...

[seretide]

Lol, this time i'll get it done at least a couple of days before!

Same, it takes so dam long!

[simpak]

I did it, at least it's over.
Loved the part where it told me to eat some chocolate I was like 'well, okay, if you insist'.

Wait, are the SES surveys compulsory?! 

[marr]

They aren't but we are "highly encouraged" to do them

For all those people who have had to learn the process of glycolysis, I think we should erect a monument outside the biochemistry building!!

You're up to that already? :l

Hey guys, I was just wondering. If I fail my breadth subject due to a hurdle requirement. What would they take it as when calculating my gpa? Would I get an overall 0 for my subject?

Why not do them? If you had complaints about your subject or even praise, the SES is where you should mention it as the "higher ups" read it and pass it down to the faculties etc. That's how things get changed for the next year.

Not to mention they really do take advice on board! E.g. in ENGL10002 (first sem english), they had no recorded lectures which sucked if you had lecture clashes/weren't at uni that day. But I think a lot of people (including myself) complained about that through SES and voila! In ENGL10001 (second semester), the lectures were recorded

If anyone could help me with this, then that would be great.

We learnt this myotome rap:
snakes alive, it’s C5’-shoulder flexion, external rotation, and abduction
‘down from heaven, 6 & 7’-shoulder extension, internal rot, and adduction
‘5,6 pick up sticks’-elbow flexion
‘7,8 put ‘em in the grate’-elbow extension
‘supine flicks, that’s C6’-supination
 ‘pronate, 7,8’-pronation
‘royal wavin’ 6 & 7’-wrist flexion/extension
‘grab it tight, 7 & 8’-finger flexion/extension
‘last, have fun with T1’ (‘twinkle, twinkle’)-finger adduction/abduction

Therefore..
If you were to injure the C5/C6 dermatome, I would have thought that the following would be affected according to the myotome rap:
-Shoulder flexion-C5
-Elbow flexion-C5/C6
-Wrist flexion/extension-C6/C7
-Supination-C6

However, in the notes it only says that the elbow flexors and forearm supination would be affected?

Does anyone know why this is the case?

I thought that mabye for wrist F/E, the fact that there is another myotome supplying this region would mean that this other myotome could compensate for the damage of the other myotome.

However, if this was the case, wouldn't shoulder flexion still be affected because it is C5.

In people's experiences, what was the most effective way of studying for first year biology? I feel bad and unproductive just reading notes :c

Memorized my lecture notes, did the sample exam, maybe look at the tute qs if i had time

Practice exam after practice exam...

Then don't just read notes.  Summarise and resummarise, rephrase stuff from the slides, make diagrams or flow charts.
Do something different that requires you to process and re-evaluate the information that you're reading and you'll end up remembering it much more effectively.
