S294 Cell Biology

Hey Guys,

I've just joined and am completely at my wits end!!

I'm so far behind my S294 module it's really worrying me...I am on restricted status as I pulled out of some courses due to illness a few years ago, this is my first one back so unable to defer.

Has anyone studied this course? Can anyone give me any tips on how to catch up? I feel the module is quite difficult compared to Human Biology SK277... I feel this is why I keep failing to catch up

I've managed to submit my first 2 TMAs but the exam is really worrying me!

Hopefully someone can advise

Hey laalNick ☺️

Are you me? You sound an awful lot like me 😂

Jeez I wish I was only 150 pages behind 🙈 I'm still on second last chapter of book 1 & the rest are starting book 3 (final book) so I'm about 300 pages behind 👎🏼

You know a pact sounds good...you've already motivated me to do some tonight...I was just about to get my Inferno book & have a read (and I wonder why I'm behind)

Going to crack open the book & get started.

Are you doing any tonight?

What should we agree to do? Do you work? How many hours? I work 4 days a week 10.5 hour shifts!

Hey, I did s294 last year along with s295, I got a little behind towards the end. But I did alright in the exam, make sure to watch all the tutorials on blackboard as part of your revision, it does get quite complicated by book 3, I actually didn't read most of book 3 and there was only 1 question I couldn't answer on the exam worth 5 marks so not bad at all. There was a rumour that book 3 wasn't examined in the exam. Have you spoken to your tutor?

Try and make a timetable with aims on it so instead of saying I'll study for 2 hours one night and 3 hours another, have a look at the topics and try and say, I'll complete chapter 3 part 1 tonight and part 2 tomorrow.

If you need any help feel free to contact me [personal details removed]

Good luck

Doing s317 now, if you are thinking of doing this afterwards I would recommend reading book 3 at some point as it goes into a lot more detail about cell biology

Well I went to the cinema to go see 10 Cloverfield Lane....I'll never be able to watch The Flintstones again!! (My friend works shifts so we have to go on evenings he can as quite often working the weekends.)

I'm at work now, I work 5 days at 8 hrs then lunchbreaks and evening taken up with walking one energetic dog!

How far do you think you are behind? 150 doesn't sound like too much but starting to get more in depth and making decent notes takes an age! I'm hoping to type up a good few pages of the coffee stained notes tonight and refresh my memory so I can eventually get up to where I left it. Because I looked at the pages after the bookmark and was a bit 'eh?!?!' !

Yes I've 2 dogs and they are also very energetic!!

I'm behind about 330 pages so a book and a half...I'm my own worst enemy, I always have great intentions to study & 5 minutes in I am planning what I'm eating the following day and googling reasons we procrastinate lol

My exam is at the beginning of June & I am not optimistic at all!!!

Have you done any more since your last post?

Not as of yet. Was planning on doing some last night but feeling so rotten at moment. Going to do a bit of typing up in between work at work (sssssssh don't tell ) once I get up to the point where I left off I'll be happier. Then can continue notes.

What about you?

Dear god no lol haven't bloody touched it

I'm off work today so will definitely be doing a good bit of sorting my life out! I took my book to the hairdressers last week to read but I ended up reading a magazine...because Hello Magazine is so much more beneficial to my exam in June than the actual course books

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm just wondering if all age groups fall behind or is it just my age group...I'm 29...the big 3 0 in Nov

I would maybe print the last tma and read through it and read the parts you need to to answer it but then you need to start thinking about revising. Might be worth going through all e learning outcomes as they are what is tested in the exam. And make sure you watch all the tutorials

Good luck
