Foreign Perspectives

It’s been a bit hectic over the past few weeks as I reach the finishing line with SD329.

The final TMA didn’t turn out to be so bad in the end although I don’t think that having a TMA completion date less than two weeks before the exam was a particularly good idea.

I started the revision a few weeks ago but with the TMA needing done too,  there wasn’t much more than the revision preparation actually done over the time. I started the revision properly during the week and, so far, it doesn’t seem too bad on the first proper run through.

The course itself was as fascinating as billed. It’s an interdisciplinary course and the mix of biology, chemistry, physics and psychology changed quite markedly between the various components of the course. For instance, with vision there was quite a lot of physics, with proprioception the emphasis was more psychological, taste & small were mainly chemical and overall there was a lot of biology.

Our final tutorial is later this morning which also seems rather late for an exam tutorial as there’s now little  more than a week before the exam but with the due date of the final TMA being earlier in the week, I guess the final tutorial couldn’t have been much earlier.
