i think that what is kind of heartbreaking about it... is that i actually did put in quite a lot of work on the neuroscience section. and i made a real effort to learn the bird vs mammal physiology. had a gap when it came to reproduction... but aside from that, my knowledge was fairly good for that. for evolution... i had major personality conflicts with the lecturer and ended up not attending the lectures. and he wouldn't give his powerpoints (part of the reason why i boycotted his lectures). i honestly spent about 1 hour studying evolution immediately prior to the exam... and i got comperable marks across all sections. i mean... i didn't have much to say for the evolution boxes and i got, like 3/5 for the boxes... but then when i know ALL the textbook stages of the action potential (label my axes etc etc) i get marks taken off for no reason so, again, get about 3/5.
in other words... i should have used the way i worked for evolution to work for the rest of the course. i would have got the same mark as what i got. in other words... the course was a work sink. no amount of effort will increase the mark. unless you get an A+ or an A out of that first multi-guess and they, uh... grade the rest of your work with that in mind. i think that is how it goes... unless they cough up their marking guide to persuade me otherwise. and that is what they will not do...
which is tech all over again. i mean... marks don't matter - right?
