gotta get an A to keep up with a B average in the class.

damn his funky tests.

11/18/2005 1:59:28 AM

in concur with the damn tests

and good luck with the A, better study and hit up Emigh's and Kristin's review

11/18/2005 5:09:27 AM

I need an A to get an A, but I think that getting an A on a test is impossible, though I did make it on one.

11/18/2005 12:13:24 PM

so you guys think his tests are whack too? I'm not the only one?
I don't feel like they're an adequate measure of what someone knows or has learned in that class at all.

11/20/2005 11:30:20 AM

^I completely agree. I think a lot of his questions are really picky, especially some of the short answer ones. I also think his old exams and review packets are NOT a good indication of what will be on the test.

Fuck this class. I have an A- in biochem and a B- in this fucking class, and I guarantee there is five times as much material for biochem. I hate his tests, and from what I hear, he has made this class a hell of a lot harder this semester cause he's trying to teach from the book.

11/20/2005 1:05:59 PM

usually from old tests you get an idea of whats on the test.

ill be damned.

oh well, just gotta suck it up and try to get a good grade

11/20/2005 1:29:02 PM

11/20/2005 3:21:58 PM

Emigh

11/20/2005 3:47:38 PM

11/20/2005 9:33:55 PM

^ I second that

11/20/2005 9:39:08 PM

11/20/2005 9:47:17 PM

FUCK IT I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!! w00t

11/20/2005 10:32:49 PM

wow, im actually understanding most of this crap.

well at least through week 11 prob session handout.

11/20/2005 11:03:39 PM

yeah, a lot of it isn't too hard to understand, it's just the memorization part that's killing me.

11/20/2005 11:12:42 PM

and posting on TWW isnt helping.

11/20/2005 11:30:54 PM

ah, but it's nice to have a break every now and then from going over notecards

11/20/2005 11:39:00 PM

whats a jean?

11/20/2005 11:47:45 PM

11/21/2005 12:23:56 AM

11/21/2005 2:42:56 PM

what are the attributes of a cloning vector?

11/21/2005 8:35:48 PM

i put LacZ, ori, and AMP. i dont know why they take out a gene, and the gene that i said they take out was: polo ralph lauren gene.

haha

oh well

11/21/2005 10:28:45 PM

^ put the exact same 3, hopefull that is right.

I also didn't know that part about taking out the gene.

My roommate went to ask him a question about the last test and he said he puts a couple hard/non-obvious questions on there to seperate the A from A+ students

11/21/2005 10:41:29 PM

I put in ORI, dominant marker, and restriction sequence. It asked for three of the four...Look on page 232?

11/21/2005 11:20:58 PM

^I put that as well

11/22/2005 7:09:24 AM

Overall, I just hate the format of his exams. I study my ass off, I review all the topics and I know it all, and I still can't get that damned A. The phrasing of his questions and matrices are ridiculous.
