Tips for doing BIOS1201:

- Remember you have to attend lab in week 1

- For your weekly/fornightly tests, read the lab manual carefully. The test will be of multiple choice (was last year) and some short answers. Don't lose too many marks in these little tests because they are relatively easy if you studied.

- For drawing assessments, depends who you have as a marker, sometimes you may feel being ripped off. Don't worry, they are usually worth a total of 10%. you will get a different marker each time (hopefully).

- Draw clearly in pencil, Draw your lines DARK! make sure your lines MEET. Broken lines are not acceptable in most cases. You will lose marks.

- Ask your demonstrators anything that you don't understand. Don't hesistate. They are nice people. And the lab work will be tested in hte Final exam.

- If the pre-tests ask you to read your prescribed text books (almost always) Read It! Just read your lab manual sometimes is not good enough.

Anyone who has done BIOS1201 is welcome to add what i have missed that you think is important for future students.

Good luck!

last year they just gave us a Tute CD, but thing is, nobody ever looked at them until they HAD to... but the CD is pretty useful and i think they just wanna make sure you go through it.

Some can be. But BIOS1201 is WAY more interesting than BIOS1101 in Session 2.
I recommand you read them carefully before-hand and know exactly what you're doing in the lab, because it can be confusing with so many tasks.

If you need any help with the logistics of BIOS1201, or the course material, don't hesitate to ask me.
