The Uni Study Thread Mark III

Same here. Was quite disheartened at first but i will learn from it. Made some really silly mistakes.

okay srs question time

I have to read through a bunch of journal things (articles? papers?) for an essay this weekend, how do you guys normally go about it? I haven't used journals much before. I was thinking of maybe summarising each paper as I read it, would that be a waste of time?


what's disheartening is getting your lowest mark for the year in your favourite module

I don't summarise the whole paper just note dow relevant bits

Finally managed to write the essay that's been plaguing me for weeks. Had a fortnight extension placed on it and I've still managed to leave it until the last minute. Just missing my pseudocode now (for two super simple things) and then 300 more words for a conclusion and it's done

I've been so busy lately! been keeping up with this thread when I'm on the bus etc. but never any time to reply.

And now I'm confused because there's some things I wanted to say from the last thread!

To DavidYorkshireFTW: Glad to have been to some use in your textbook problems. I'm doing Biochemistry, Introduction to Microbiology and Normal and Tumour Cells.. Next term will be building on these, doing MORE biochem (urgh), Microbes and Disease and Pathological Responses of Cells. I find biochem really quite difficult, but it's annoying because I know I can do it.

Also to snailsareslimy - I saw your triumph over you essay in the last thread. That was awesome. Just goes to show how we have no idea about our capabilities.

It was my last day today.. Not even excited because I'm going to be so busy revising for January exams, as there's quite a few things I still need to make sure I understand. How depressing do I sound haha?

Also found out I got an 80 in my Microbio presentation and 83 in my micro lab report. Makes up for all these bad thoughts and bad days. And at least I'm going out for 3 christmas meals next week.. so there will be some fun in the holidays.

Finally I was worrying about making friends not long ago.. but everything is good.. going out for a meal with course people I get on with, which is really nice because I normally don't attend such sociable things.

Biochem

Yes you were a big help, danke.
I too will be revising for said January exams

Thanks it really boosted my confidence so I now have the drive to really push myself in the next essay! Hopefully do similarly well

Well done you! Those marks are fantastic have fun at your dinners, I have one later and I can't stop thinking about turkey hehe.

In the library and some fool has their phone on loud. SILENT NO? Moron.

Oh and I nearly mistook someone for a polar bear... Massive white faux fur coat :| kinda scary.

well done on the good marks and glad to hear you've made some friends to go out with

I got a 68 in my first assessed essay for this year which I'm really happy with Just frustrating when you're only a couple of marks off that 1st but can't complain I suppose!

Celebrated the end of term last night by going out with some friends and then drove back home earlier today. I'm looking forward to these 4 weeks off because I'd reached the tired and de-motivated phase. Need some time to chill out at home because Uni life never stops! Having said that, I do have 5 exams and a large project due in January which seems to be a whole lot more than most of my other friends

So exam revision begins on Monday. Will be planning out my timetable this weekend.

Hope everyone has a lovely break!

What do you find most frightening about Biochem? For me it just seems like a different language. Like, once I've done LOTS of reading I understand the lectures and the concepts... then I look at some practice calculation questions or whatever and I'm like uhhhhmmmm I just do not know what they have written. I'm quite worried about the revision period but I keep telling myself I cannot say I'm going to fail when I haven't even started revising yet - I only have the right to say that when the exams start.



Aw that's fabulous. please let me know if the turkey lives up to all expectations and dreams... I am so excited I need some food porn comments to keep me tame.

People say christmas gets boring as you get older - I think it's waaaaay better because you can appreciate the food and markets and mulled wine etc etc. And you have different circles of friends so you get to have multiple meals.



Naw thankyou jelly! It's funny because nobody is so weird they aren't capable of making friends, but sometimes you think you are not worth liking.



That's a very good mark to kick off with! Congrats. How are you going about your timetable? I need to do one for Monday for my personal tutor but I have no idea where to start. I don't know what a reasonable amount of time studying/chilling is, you know?
