Is the experiment called 'Analytical Techniques and Methods'?

It’s all good now! Another member has kindly sent me the lab manual

The other day I got free Beatbox Kitchen off GSA and I think it was the first time I have ever personally benefitted from SSAF ever.
290 dollar shroom burger was pro tho.

hey guys, I applied for a consulting/case study workshop last week in quite a lengthy application form with a series of questions about consulting. I didn't think much of it at the time, other than to apply, but I got an offer to attend it. It's sponsored by A.T. Kearney and MMI and sounds very appealing, but will I be out of place as a first year student? The case study document emailed to me includes terms like 'credit risk exposure', 'micro savings' and 'micro loans' which I'm not sure if I fully understand yet. I don't have much experience with commerce subjects at all (did maths/science only in high school). Does anyone have any experience with this or can offer their 2c on whether I should go?

Anyone doing Maths for Bio-med and had a go at the tutorial question sheet? I'm stuck on number 7... I have no idea how to start it. Thanks in advance x

a). Probability of:


By looking at the table, the possible options for a red one are: 2 pinks, so:




You multiply it by 0.25 because there are other possibilities when you have two pink parents, but when you mate two pink parents, the probability that the offspring will be red is 0.25.

For the ChemCAL prelab tests, you need to get 80% to get the 1 mark. But if you fail the first try, and redo it and get 80%, will you still get that 1 mark?

Does anyone know whether or not the weekly quizzes for experimental design and data analysis are the same if you retry them.

[alchemy]

ok, so i decided to go...hopefully i don't get royally screwed

It couldn't hurt. I guess the worst that could happen is that you won't know whats going on, but that is also the best thing that could happen because you'll be learning knew things, and meeting new people.

Just go dude!

Thanks mate (:
I'll let you guys know how it goes for any prospective kids in my same position..

I'd also agree with Orson's point of view as well. You'll be exposed to something which you haven't done before and there's plenty of people to ask if you don't know (even mingle with others there would be fine) however it'll give you good avenue to apply for consulting positions (GCG, 180 Degrees etc.) later on!

And if it makes you feel any better, I've got an interview this week for a consulting position which contains case studies which I need to analyse except I never did commerce subjects either so there's a lot to catch up on before my interview and I probably would have liked to attend a workshop beforehand to prepare for it

Yes, the questions are exactly the same (although I cannot recall if they jumble up the order or not).

Make sure you read the Biomedicine subject reviews early in the semester. You will pick up some neat tips and tricks (like this one) that will help give you the upper hand during the semester. Good luck!

Lol, I literally done the quiz and have refused to submit it due to the uncertainty regarding whether or not I will full mark it.
Its now been open for three hours.

yes, you can redo it as much as you want, you'll still get the mark.
