Foreign Perspectives

With doing February start courses for so long it’s come as something of a surprise just how close the exam for the human biology course is: June is seeming awfully close right now.

That meant that the tutorial last Saturday started to touch on aspects of the exam. Not that much just yet beyond saying that the general format is a series of compulsory short questions, a data analysis question and a choice of essays (1 from each of the four books). Coming soonish too is a letter from the course team which will say which chapter of the book each of the essay questions will be taken from. In theory that cuts down on the revision time but seeing as the eight short questions go over all four books it’s not much of a reduction in revision time.

Also coming up is the final TMA which I hope to get done over Easter as there’s an astronomy TMA due the same day as the biology one and it’s one of those practicals that always take far longer than expected to do and to write up.

Still, once those are out of the way, it’s the exam that’ll be concentrated on before the relatively clear summer.
