Week 8: Day 2

[sciencequeen]

Yesterday was pretty rad!

I found out that I got 73% on my Anatomy lab midterm, which was 40% better than the first time I took the class. The only reason why I remember that is because my lab midterm and lecture midterms last year were 30-something percent and 50-something percent, respectively; they then reversed for my lab final and lecture

You seem to use flashcards a lot... is that a common study method in Canada? I don't recall ever using them for anything. Are they particularly suited to the information you learn? And do you get to take them into tests?

It seems to be common for things that are memorization based.
They are only useful if used very frequently, as I made them when I took the course the first time but was not as diligent in testing myself as I have been this time around. :)

No we don't get to take them to tests; that would be awesome!

And I only use them for this Anatomy course, though I am thinking I need to start using them for my Neurological Disorders class, as I am not recalling as much detail as I need to. My other two classes seem to be fine with me just rewriting the material in my notebook and talking about it with my tutor. Doesn't seem to require as much repetition.

"the Psychology of Work" sounds really tuned into things I've been thinking about lately. Is there some link you can provide to a syllabus or other course information? What kinds of things is the class about?

I just emailed you the course outline and schedule of topics covered. :)

Groovy, thanks!
