I sat that exam last summer and got 70% in the botany paper but almost wrecked the zoology paper.....
Gambled on the immunology questions that Uri puts up and lost badly!!!!
He put up a question on the "knee kerk reflex" which was only included in the lectures as one slide..Caught a lot of us out, I vowed then to always cover everything for exams!!!! Ended up just scraping a 40% which ruined my overall year mark:(

I am bricking it about this paper. I've pretty much had to decide to take a gamble & leave out Immunology and Central Nervous systems in favour of actually remembering some of the other stuff There's just too much to pack into my head over such a short space of time

Last year I left out immunology but covered very well blood and CNS......Uri messed it up though when he asked about PAMP's and the knee jerk reflex questions:mad:
My own fault tho',
I have Uri again this year for molecular biology in Zoology and am making sure I pay very close attention to the smaller topics and don't just cover the past exams questions he has put up in the past
