are there any other professors that we should watch out for?

You may already know this, but Deschenes questions were often about experimental procedures or lab tests (like the Ames mutation test). Griffith had the most straight-forward questions out of anyone. He asks a lot about regulation of the cycles, but the questions were rarely tricky as long as you knew the material. Twining was pretty straight-forward as well.

It's all Dahms though. You can't believe it until you see it, but she'll "gluke nack" and "gal nack" through an entire lecture. I'd recommend listening to her lectures on mp3 so you can rewind.

Good ol' GlcNAC

It sounds kinda like the !Kung language where there are random clicks (the ! = a weird click then koo-ng). I learned about it in 8th grade.

do u suggest going to the tutoring sessions for biochem? if so, which tutor is more helpful?

 

[Bucky_Badger]

anyone know of good flash card software for the PC and would be compatible for a Palm OS PDA? after an in-depth google search, little is out there that is good.

 

[45408]

I think OneNote comes with flash card software, but I don't know about the compatibility with the Palm (I doubt it would work). I was told that OneNote is free, but I don't really know. There's a Tablet PC Crew in our class that all sit up front with their tablets, and if I had the discipline to not surf the internet constantly, which I don't, I'd get one. There's one guy who makes 50+ flash cards on his tablet for every lecture.

Where is this group in relation to the mormon row?

You'll have to try it and see if it helps you. It can help you focus on the main points, but remember, biochem is all about details. The biochem tutors are new this year, I think, so you'll have to try them both out to see if you like them. I went to Erica's sessions last year and I did find the extra review helpful.

 

[45408]

Where is this group in relation to the mormon row?

They're interdigitated. Not everyone with a tablet is mormon, and not all the mormons have tablets.

I figured that. I use them as my navigation beacon...navigational bacon.

so, how much sleep do u guys get a night? i feel like i'm sleeping too much instead of studying..maybe i'm just going crazy

1st and 2nd year I averaged 8 hours. This year, I'm getting about 8-9 hours (on OB/gyn), unless I"m on call then it's 0 hours. On psych/neuro, I got about 6 hours/night. Yep, OB/gyn = easier than psych/neuro.

 

[45408]

so, how much sleep do u guys get a night? i feel like i'm sleeping too much instead of studying..maybe i'm just going crazy

No such thing. 😉 I sleep 6-7 hours a night, probably, with the occasional 10-12 hours. I sleep more the farther I am from exams.

 

[akpete]

Currently I'm on surgery, and getting 4-6 hours per night. M1 and M2 years I would sleep 10-12 hours per night. I was also a non-class goer. Sleep what you need and don't feel bad about it. Don't make yourself miserable.

If you're sleeping because you need sleep, do it. If you go to bed to avoid studying, that's a different issue. Use your awake time well and sleep all you can!

Which row is mormon row?

 

[45408]

Which row is mormon row?

front row, left side, as you walk in. It's not where all the Mormon guys sit, but most of the guys who sit up there are Mormon, and everyone in the row has a tablet PC.

weird, considering hardly anybody in our class used notebook computers during lecture...ashers and i had ours out occasionally to pass time, but very few people otherwise. maybe one I can think of did it often.

Chatting online while sitting next to each other = good times.

tablets are pretty useful though, since they can write right on the screen, and since you can download all the powerpoints, it's pretty much like having your notes right in front of you. It also comes with all kinds of useful organizational software and notecard-making software. I lack the discipline to avoid the Internet, so I study sans computer.

As for passing the time in lecture, I usually sleep. According to the schedule, I slept through two path lectures this morning, just in time to wake up about 15 minutes ago.

that's exactly it right there. but i also don't like reading notes off a computer...i feel better with paper so i can easly lie/sit/stand/walk/drive/do CPR anywhere and read at the same time.

Then there's me who lacks the discipline to stay off the internet, doesn't like reading notes off the computer (except when retyping), yet keeps her computer with her in order to do practice questions. How many have I done today? Zero. Hopefully I'll get to them once I finish reading the gyn part of 1st Aid CK. The shelf is going to kill me.

 

[donnyfire]

This is the funniest thing I've seen today.

 

[Xandie]

Aww... kitties!

If I could edit it, I would make it proximity to step 2... because I'm done!

KITTIES!

 

[Ashers]

One of my brothers sent that to me.

Oh, in other news. My cat, Nestle, that disappeared, actually ran away from home. He ran to a neighbor's house who fed him wet food and let him inside. So now my dad's not happy that Nestle has to stay inside otherwise he goes back to this other house. We've had Nestle for about 13 years, so this is weird, but Nestle did just lose his friend Not Nestle to a car... sadness. Nestle is getting treatment for his depression -- he's starting an SSRI today, so hopefully, he'll stop running away from home.

I tend to read too fast when I'm reading off a computer, so I don't learn anything. It worked okay when I was in undergrad, because nothing was nearly as detailed as what we're learning now, but now it's not gonna fly. My left pupil is totally blown, and reading is kinda hard. Everyone's walking around with one eye shut.

edit - I almost feel drunk...

You are probably experiencing tentorial herniation. This may be due to increasing intracranial pressure secondary to filling up your head with facts. I recommend you stop studying immediately and drink a large amount of alcohol.

I keep hearing this song now.

Only I'm hearing Rex Harrison singing it to a seal.

Huh? What's that from?

Now I'm picturing Rex Harrison singing "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" to a seal. Obviously, I've watched My Fair Lady a lot.

Songs about eyes that I like are "Jeepers Creepers" by Ole Blue Eyes and I used to really like 5'2, eyes of blue, when I was in 6th grade and 5'2".

 

[samenewme]

Dr. Doolittle. NOT the Eddie Murphy one. There were a lot of lovely Lesley Bricusse songs shoehorned into it whether they quite fit the plot or not.

lolz, the bar crawl was last night. half the class was hungover. I wasn't in the mood for extreme inebriation, so I stayed at home and had a few beers with a friend from undergrad and then slept from midnight to noon.

does this mean we're done getting the flucking emails about the bar crawl now?

 

[Xandie]

I didn't get any! Rah rah seniors.

I didn't get any e-mails either. Guess Splat must have made it on the "toxic drunk" list of students. 😉

mid-October for me. i better get a couple IV sticks. either way every patient is getting a full H&P including a sexual history no matter the CC. It'll be especially good for killing time on those prolonged extrications.

I seem to have had fewer "oooo, ma bellay hurts" after extended periods of drinking, and more septic teenagers, overdosing on Datura teenagers (look it up - CRAZY stuff), and the inevitable 3mph car accident that requires C-spine.

There's only one good solution to this problem...renegade medicine! Put on a mask, cape, and some nice leather boots and take your medical expertise to those who need you on the streets of Milwaukee.

You can call yourself--Superscutter.

That sounds like a TV show. We could get a whole bunch of us together... maybe we could become a band and sing about saving people too. Like the Aquabats.

ahhh, just look back at when we were freaking out about block 2, and the year before that, when Funk was telling us how bad block 2 was....

Every block 2 is bad for every subject every semester.

Actually, it was block 1 of all last year that usually got me. My lowest grade in every class in M1 was attained in block 1.

 

[monv15]

i have a biochem related question: do u have to know the structures of everything included in a pathway (for example, the structure of 3-PG in glycolysis) or is it enough to know what the enzyme does to it to get to the next step and to know the pathway v. well?

 

[donnyfire]

No kidding.
