Genetics and the evolution of life (BIOL10005): Exam thread

[Starlight]

So... whose joining me for summer subjects? T_T

what summer subject are you doing seretide?

Ahh well.. if i actually were going to be doing summer subjects it would probably be biology. And i do hope it isn't , well, for any of my subjects actually!

And, Ummm.. your question confused me though - did you mean it seriously or going along with the joke of my predicted failure for the exams lol?

haha i took it seriously because of jinny1's response.

I understand now lol, what are finding hard about bio?

Ahh just bio in general - never really liked it - and when i say that, i refer to the genetics section. Each time i somehow get the strength to study the section on genetics I get this feeling of... suicide - best way i could put it. Never done bio in high school so yeah fun times!

Yeah it would probably be hard with terminology and just solving genetics problems.

Genetics is probably my favourite for the subject though..

haha

I really hate genetics!!! But i'm extremely fascinated by Evolution/Biodiversity.

At least in genetics there isn't a lot of terminology but there is so much for evolution -.-

loll, well what parts of genetics have you found hard: the problem solving (crosses, pedigrees) or just memorizing in general?

High jacking this just for a second - is chemistry 2 tutorials compulsory? No one ever goes to them anymore...

yeah there's much more understanding in genetics, the other 95%  if not all rote learning

High jacking this just for a second - is chemistry 2 tutorials compulsory? No one ever goes to them anymore...

No. I heard that they can be used to check your attendance if you fail (get 49%) to giving you a pass.. but how can they possibly know you have attended a tutorial anyway? I switched tutes because I had a god awful tutor in thursday's tute class.

Yeah true - and its funny that you said Thursdays class because I opted out of it as well! Was it like at 12 with the old guy? Lol

Yep!! The best part was when he was like, "please if you don't understand something don't be afraid to speak up"

and we're all like.. what's he talking about???

Lmao, I'm surprised that you managed to hear that! It was so hard trying to listen to what he was saying that I just left - moving on to bigger and better things

population genetics is such a snorefest -.-

population genetics is such a snorefest -.-

lol, i thought it was a little confusing to get my mind around but dawn is right, it's best to do the questions she sets us now so we can minus 4 lectures over what we have to study. I thought zoology was the worst

I just did the 3 questions for populations genetics from the lecture slides; it wasn't that bad actually, kind of makes sense to me now

I've done 6 lectures of revision!!! That's 6 more than last semester

Well i agree Zoology has a lot of terminology that is near impossible to learn. But i found zoology lectures to be the most entertaining! I just like learning about evolution and biodiversity for some reason ..

I didn't mind evolution, more so the things like the "molluscs" and "chordates" etc. etc.

[jinny1]

Oh yea the phylogeny/phylums are excruciating to learn.
