joshi's health age 1bb3 midterm test
I'm having my health age 1bb3 midterm on tuesday
and regrettably, I didn't start early enough
so there is no way that i can finish reading the textbook and memorize all this before the test

I just want to know, for those that took it with her previously, is it still possible to do well if I memorize her notes, theories, and all those textbook definitions (which took 5 pages...)

also, what happens if I use the "sick form". Do I do it after or does the percentage weight get added to my final?

don't know about the sick form, but it took me 1 day to read the textbook pages before the midterm, and another day for the rest of it before the exam. the textbook is seriously horrible to get through. the authors were quite cruel with the lack of personality in it. make sure you know the definitions, notes, theories... the only "numbers" you'll be tested on are the exact life expectancy for males/females in canada which should be in her notes. everything else just realize the TRENDS.that is super important. it's mostly common sense but there's a bunch of stuff that's only obvious if you've done the studying. good luck. they don't return the midterms so i cant recall any of the questions that were on it other than the life expectancy one. the exam was around the same difficulty, maybe a tad harder just cuz it was so many MCQ's. so yeah, if you dont have time to read the textbook then just read the chapter summaries and know those, or go through the chapters and just look for trends and ignore all the numbers and random details.

Just memorize her notes and you should get at least 80%+ that's all I did.

agreed. I read through my notes the night before and got a 85%. As long as u attended lecture it was easy. Just go through the chapter summaries and know definitions.

by 'trends' i mean like "people get more religious as they age" except for this example, the answer is that this trend is false because religiousity is a cohort difference.
