whew -.- CEDB, thank you for giving me an idea of membrane structure :'D
I didn't mention anything about glucose concentrations, though, so I'll probably still lose a mark :/

I can think of a plethora of marks I'm going to lose LOL esp the kinetics

The MCQ and DNA sections were awful :/ probably lost like 100 marks

MCQ was hit or miss and yeh the amount of detail we neededto know was rather absurd. In saying so, I hope Paul and Terry's sections can pull me over the line

Dafuq aren't MCQ's meant to be the easier section?

Dafuq aren't MCQ's meant to be the easier section?

Based on nearly 1.5 years of uni exams, I have observed two types of MCQ exams.

The first is the preferable type - not much more than an answer sheet with some noticeably incorrect responses thrown in to round out the choices. These are often the more popular variation among students because they are able to undertake the assessment which these questions compose without suffering apoplexy, a nervous breakdown, acute hair-loss and sudden-onset diarrhoea (of both the verbal and physical variations).

These afflictions, and no doubt many more, are characteristic of the second variety of multiple-choice examination. These are the ones with the mind-shatteringly difficult questions. Many questions force unfortunate subjects of the examination to question not only which response is the correct one; not only how the hell option B differs from option D; not only if they should be worried that they've chosen three C's in a row and no A's on the answer sheet's column; these exams made the subjects question their sanity. This type of exam is most often found in units where the coordinator has - either over a brief period of time or an extremely long tenure - fostered a deep and intense hatred of all things undergraduate (including the unlucky students). Only a few emerge from these exams with less than an aneurysm, and those that do live to warn others to treat that unit as they would a crocodile or a pathogenic infection - tough, unpleasant and usually composed of biochemistry.

I really don't feel like studying, if you can't already tell

Trying to find a relevant and useful breadth to take, and Forests in a Global Context actually looks wonderful. Yes, that breadth subject everyone does for an easy H1. I want to take it for an actual reason. Does anyone actually recommend it?

I went to one of those Engineering Careers Events, and a panelist was asked about "fluff" subject in degrees. He legitimately said, verbatim, "Yeah I remember interviewing a guy with 'Global Forests' or something along the lines, and 'African Dance Class'. It wasn't the greatest look but at least he had some fun at uni."

So many people to FIAGC is a bludge breadth, but if you're legitimately interested in it go for it.

Wtf as if you need Q fever vaccine for that subj

[Ballerina]

You are sunshine, Starfish!


Now I want to take Forests In A Global Context so it looks like I had fun at uni ♥ (I am). I swore to take a range of breadths out of my comfort zone to be more well rounded and multifaceted, and instead in my BSc I'll have taken Critical Thinking With Data, Genetics Health and Society, and Living Longer: A Global Diagnosis.  Neeeeeeeed to find more artsy subjects.


Many seem to find the kidneys the hardest in PHYS20008, but for me it's definitely the cardiac cycle ahhh. Arianne explained the kidneys very well (after returning upon pre-reading completion) but I think I can't relate to the cardiac cycle due to my cold, black heart~

OH MY GOD you are looking at DASC subjects, I'm so happy. Fairly certain the field trip is to a pet store.

I tried to find two semester two breadths to complete over the next two years of my degree, and ended up with thirty subjects ;_;
I'm currently enrolled in The Secret Life of Language and Fire in the Australian Landscape, for some reason.

- The Secret Life of Language
- Food for a Healthy Planet II
- Introduction to Climate Change
- Fire in the Australian Landscape
- Forests in a Global Context
- Sex: Science and the Community
- Catastrophes as Turning Points
- Drugs That Shape Society
- Animals in Society I: Introduction
- Animals and Society II: Humans and Animals
- Finance 1
- Introductory Microeconomics
- School Experience as Breadth
- Egyptian and Near-Eastern Mythology
- Aboriginalities
- Darwinism: History of a Very Big Idea
- The History of Nature
- Hitler's Germany
- International Politics
- Modern Southeast Asia
- China Since Mao
- Human Rights in China and South-East Asia
- Literature, Ecology, Catastrophe
- Short Fiction
- Social Problems in Japan (wat)
- Communicating Science and Technology (looks really good, but the assessment is challenging)
- Pop Song Writing 2
- Going Places: Travelling Smarter
- Making Movies I
- Shakuhachi Ensemble 1 (but they make us buy our own bamboo flute )
- Musics of the World

HOW DO PEOPLE MAKE LIFE CHOICES? I can't even look at science subjects any more, because I want to do all of them.

The cardiac cycle popped up on the exam last year with a whole lot of random extra bits just to spice things up. I cried.

Engineering as breadth wins easily

I wish I had the luxury of doing some of those subjects listed!

Do Principles of Business Law (:
90 minute 60Q multi-choice exam that counts for 80% of your mark, only one 2 hour lecture a week, the course content is also quite relevant to life
