BIOL1003 Human Biology (1 Viewer)

[lengstar]

Got questions? Got answers? I managed to pass BIOL1001 without much effort and i want HD this time round so discuss anything you want on the subject. Who's doing it btw? This is heaps more interesting than BIOL1001. I love evolution and genetics, its one of the reasons why i'm adamant about the existence of 'God'.

so you managed to pass concepts, and so you want an hd this time? (im doing 1905 btw, which is more or less the same thing)

I'm doing biol1003 as well this term. i find it extremely interesting so far (haven't started falling asleep in lectures yet as compared to 1001), and i heard we get to dissect a cat in week 3!! I can't wait. what day u have bio prac? and do u need to bring those dissection kits this week?

 

[Saul]

dont we have australian museum this week coming?

 

[lengstar]

dissect a cat? woot! thats even more fun then grabbing them by the tail and swing them onto oncoming traffic!
my bio prac's on tuesday morning 301
but i might change my timetable

Would you really change your prac after week one? It just seems like too much hassle with the groups and so on. And yes, we're going to the museum next week. Or whenever you feel like it I guess.

 

[cayte]

BTW, I missed the first two lectures this week - is there anything vital that isn't on the lecture notes?

And we don't have a third lecture from next week do we?

 

[SmokedSalmon]

um... don't believe you missed anything Cayte. Everything from the lecture is on the lecture notes on the VLE.

We only have a third lecture in weeks 1 and 13. So that means I get fridays off! woot!

sorry, no you don't dissect a cat. Instead they show you the cats in the lab (they're like 10 year old specimens and they're all dried up and stuff.

However, you do get to chop up a live cane toad. Last year we poured salt water and adrenaline over the gutless frog and got it to wriggle about.

 

[Bob.J]

oh and no. You don't need a dissection kit. They're like $17 or $37 i forgot. I never bought one, instead I just used a group members kit. Usually only need 1 kit per group. Besides the kit is pathetic, just some scissors, tweezers etc

 

[cayte]

Thanks SS, I did check the lecture notes. Fridays off is a huge bonus eh?

 

[Collin]

Yeah, I passed 1001 with basically no study either (makes me wonder why I bought Knox) and I certainly do agree that Human Biology is miles more interesting than Concepts. I can even dare to say that I was enjoying myself when I was reading the textbook the other day.

 

[lengstar]

By now you would've had bio labs third week. what did you think about the cat dissection?

 

[Persephone87]

Poor little kitties!

 

[Collin]

Man, those sliced up cats made me hungry. Jk.

 

[SmokedSalmon]

hehe JDK...
yeah it was pretty alrite. nothing scary or stomach churning as some people seem to get. I want to do a human dissection!! now that would be interesting.
