    Higher Human Biology 2012 : How did it go ?
    I thought it was a good paper; not too easy but not too hard. How did the rest of yous find ? Also, can someone try and post section B as a fast as possible. Much appreciated

    I thought it was really easy actually, so hopefully that means I've secured an A some people said they thought the essays were really bad but I liked the two I picked- neurotransmitters and temperature control.
    I didn't get a few questions so it will be interesting to see what people got for the answers

    Multiple choice had several challenging questions, but all in all not a bad paper at all! Essay questions were fair and easy to write about

    Would improved sanitation and introduction of vaccines be acceptable for the factors which caused a decrease in death rate ?

    I can only remember one in particular about what kind of learning occurs when behaviour follows certain steps? I think it was the boy's development of walking. I thought it was shaping but that had already come up in the multiple choice

    Wasn't a fan of the multiple choice, but the paper overall got easier the further in. I liked the essay questions, they were relatively simple. Think I secured a B, possibly an A.

    What did you guys put for the one asking about non-verbal signs? The one listing parts of the body and asking if they were involved? I wasn't sure about picking tongue but I did it anyways.

    I thought it decreased? And the overall population increased?

    Yeah I think it was

    I put that the tongue could be used to show verbal communication... but I'm really not sure if that's right, it was a bit of a weird question
