Monash Med Class of 2018 roll call!

[muscle min]

That bio course is a joke. I didn't do it because I did bio in vce but some of my friends did.

I'm two thirds of the way done and I'm considering just leaving it at that and starting on anatomy. Do you think that will be a disadvantage? (The lecturer told us that only 30% finished the course last year)

What anatomy are you starting on? You only start MSK anatomy in Sem 2 (in which case I recommend using Thieme's).

If you shoot me a PM with your email address I may be able to organise some textbooks for you (and others?)

Yeah that will help, also get Talley and O'Connor. Those two are real gems for med (the latter being one you will use as a reference for a long time).

so is the bio course useless? i've missed like a week or two of it... so very far behind! can i just pick up all the stuff during the course, or should i put my head down and start learning some of it?

It will help for first sem, but in the larger scheme of things first sem of first year is fairly insignificant. Biochem rarely comes up in the VIA (1 - end of II that covers years I+II material; 2 - end of IV that covers years I+II+III+IV material [it sounds like a bitch because it is]) so it's not a big deal.

:O Don't buy from the bookstore haha, it's a massive rip-off!

I go to bookdepository.co.uk usually as it's fairly cheap with free shipping to anywhere which is a massive plus, or if you have a relative going to asia (india, china, etc.) get them to buy the international editions of the textbooks (which are the same with lower quality covers) and they're super cheap too.
