Biomedicine Question Thread

how has second year been so far for some of you guys? Whats the difference compared to 1st year? Just in general: difficulty, workload, etc, because it seems pretty full on this year, cant imagine what next year will be like lol. Thanks

[Russ]

Every biomed third year appears to be whinging as much as possible about their subjects right now, please don't be that person

[Belgarion]

lol sorry if i came across as whinging lol, i actually am likeing this year, its a bit tough but i like a challenge. Just wondering how it will compare to next year

[Russ]

Oh sorry, I rephrased my sentence halfway through and it ended up with a completely different tone. I wasn't calling you whinging at all, it's completely legitimate to want to ask about future years.

What I meant, was that the workload does go up and things change; please accept that you're being taught certain things and don't whinge about it just because it's not what you want to be taught/think you should be taught. Second/third year is great if you want it to be great and horrible if you just want to complain (like far too many people I am seeing atm)

[Belgarion]

ye i try to look at the good things, far too many do complain, even this year and i think you shouldnt have gone into this course expecting it to be easy, but cant help but listen to their whinging.

Molecule to Melancholy: a tale of the average disgruntled Biomedicine student.

[Russ]

Yeah, it's a bit absurd. Some of them are complaining that they're not being tested on skills they'll need as a doctor and idgi. You're a biomedical science student and expecting you to know the biochemical and molecular basis of the stuff taught is pretty valid.

Newsflash: you're not all even going to apply to/get into/do medicine and become a doctors gosh.

I find it extremely weird how there are some people in the course who say they hate learning Biology, I mean why even enrol in a Biomedicine course then...

How does one not enjoy biology, let alone be enrolled in a biomedical course and not enjoy biology?

Absurd.

has anybody started studying for their exams yet? I feel like i should be but this summarising of lectures takes up so much time. words of wisdom from past first year biomed students would be great. I know summarising is a form of revision but i mean in terms of specifically studying for exams. Or do most just leave it to SWOTVAC? In case you need them, our exams are bio- thursday june 13th, maths and chem on the following wed and thurs, then my breath is the following week.

Thanks

[Belgarion]

nobody?

Khan Academy is great for all those reactions but sometimes they do go quite slow. Below is link for the organic chem playlist.
