B for biology. which is disappointing. It is true what they say: everything is decided from the first test. Class placings, I mean. Everyone does comparably well in labs and in the final exam so class placings are decided from the first test (unless you massively f*ck something up).
Looking again at an old copy of the first test for biology next year... Some of the diagrams are genuinely ambiguous. They have changed the line markers from a text diagram so it genuinely is unclear what structure the new markers are pointing to. Or... Perhaps there is some hierarchy of 'best answer' such that 'best answer' gets to be half wrong and half right... And one of the histology slides... Or perhaps they will go into a bit more detail about how to distinguish / perhaps that was a slide they went through in class... You really can't see from the slide whether all the cells are attached to the basal membrane or not (whether it is pseudostratified or actually stratified) but those are both available in the multiguess...
I can't tell if it is just that I am not very good at this... Or whether it really does come down so significantly to luck.
I guess with animal biology the biggest thing was that... I wasn't that into animal biology. And then they refused to make their powerpoints available etc etc...
I don't think I'm going to get a B average.
I guess I just have to see what happens...
Have I lost my mind? It really does seem... Tech, all over again...
