Biologists! How was it?

[nancy]

i was also under the impression that the mice were already exposed to the disease!
i made sure also to include that the experiment should be repeated atleast 5 times! to reduce experimental error

[Essein]

Can sombody please post the exam!

WOW 5 times! I just put 'repeat to ensure validity of results' lol

[Marc]

vcaa says that they like 'more than 5 times'

Oh my god..that's what I get for skim reading the assessment reports...

[Matt The Rat]

Ahh, bugger. I put the large test sample but forgot to specify multiple testings.

[JL_91]

My teacher always said that 'repeat to ensure validity' was okay...I was never under the impression that I needed to specify '5+ times'...hopefully they're lenient on that!

Does anyone here feel that they got full marks?

[username]

I dont know about full marks, but I also included to minimize extraneous variables, that the mice be kept under the same living conditions such as environment and such.

[JL_91]

Oh, my bad, I meant does anyone feel like that got full marks on the entire exam :]

if there was such a person chances are they wouldnt be here right now, they'd be at a party or celebration of some sort...

Nope...but I think I did alright anyway.

DOes anyone think the multiple choice were WAY simpler this year?

and with the rats... I'm fairly sure they said that the question stated they were from a group who were prone to the arthritus!

i want my results back!!! *cries*

I agree, the multiple choice were cinch (yet I still made a dumb mistake with that 2nd question about the virus' structure).

..I'm starting to really doubt myself now. I was very certain that the rats question stated that "the mice had normally (i.e. not artificially caused to) developed rheumatoid arthritis".

..I'm dying to know what I got too!

Yer i was really pleased with them! (have to admit i nearly tripped up on that 2nd question too!)

I don't think you are actually able to innoculate an organism with rheumatiod arthritus or expose it to it (it's not communicable obviously) so the rats must have been prone to it already! also, vitamin D wouldn't be able to prevent the virus from progressing... or at least i woulndt expect so!

but that's just me trying to make myself (and anyone else) feel better
