Life Sci 2A03
How to study for the Life Sci 2A03 test?
There are going to be MCs in class and short answers online. I was wondering what is necessary for the MC part. The research methods, hypothesis and stuff or Hydra, stem cells and all those stuff?

Will someone who had taken it previously provide me with insight please?

Thanks

Such a piece of garbage class it's unbelievable. I won't even be hurt if I get <90 or even <80 because it's SO ****ING BORING. Why are they taking an interesting research topic like stem cells and butchering it with every slide of the lectures being a wall of text thats read word for word by the prof?

I stopped going after the first class.

/rant


I'd just study the lecture slides and read the accessory papers and shit and just pray that it isn't a retarded Dr. Quinn test.

Her notes are the best on campus. Everything she mentions are included on it so you don't need to write anything extra down. It's designed so that if you don't go to class you'll still be able to score 90%+ on the midterms/exams.

By the way, the notes are actually Dr. Dej's notes whos on maternity leave till next term

I'm assuming you've taken the course before lol how was the midterm?
The first profs notes are great but the stuff on stem cells is kinda dull. There doesn't seem to be a lot of content so i just wanted to make sure i was missing anything.

Both Lori Goff and Allison Cowie's are probably from Dr. Dej. The only difference is that Lori Goff put a layout on it.
However you look at it the lecture notes are pretty detailed. If you think these are bad, then all other lecture notes should be horrendous. I don't know what courses you're taking, but the lecture notes for most of mine only include pictures with no descriptions

Jesus christ 5B was the worst

Honest to ****ing god some STRUCTURE to your notes would be just AWESOME

Not to mention they are making a subject that is actually interesting completely boring by just having us memorize the experiments and shit.
