Are you sure? It's all computer-based

Have you paid attention in lectures/checked your email recently? Go to the BIOLAB as usual, there'll be a talk then we go the PC labs to do it. If you have your own laptop and can get it online with the college network you're meant to bring it and you can do the practical in the lab.

fishtastico · 05-02-2011 10:35PM

Unfortunately they don't e-mail these details to the demonstrators. Cheers

Apologies.

Anyone know where to find out which group we're in for BY2207 lab on tues? I wasn't in college on fri, did they tell us then?

Jammyc · 06-02-2011 08:42PM

I was gonna ask tomorrow. I didnt hear of any groups on Friday, and the email we were sent seems to assume we knew which.

Also, do we have to install anything for the genetics lab tomorrow or will that be sorted in the lab?

amacachi · 06-02-2011 08:46PM

For 2207 check your timetable at isservices.tcd.ie/portal, it'll say your group there. It's still down for last week but the groups are the same.

12:00-14:00 (PRACT)
Weeks: 23
Module: BY2207
Group: Lab A
Site: EE5
Room: BIOLAB

That's what comes up on mine anyway.

For the genetics lab I don't think anything has to be installed, didn't notice anything when I was glancing through the manual.

Jammyc · 06-02-2011 10:32PM

Cheers. Makes sense. Mine says lab B!

I'm confused with this prawn lab report... how many graphs do we need?

I think we have to do six, three with normal numbers and then three using log10.
I'm still working my way through the first three, not entirely sure how to do the others yet.

Jammyc · 08-02-2011 08:39PM

Does anyone know when we have to start picking Moderatorships for next year or when they give us the booklets with the info?

09-02-2011 09:31PM

Well last year was the 9th of April according to the online booklet...

The deadline I mean

Scoobydooo · 10-02-2011 02:29PM

Hey, would any second years be able to cast their minds back to that horrible prawn report for biology and tell me how we're meant to interpret the graphs we produced? I've done pretty much everything else just not sure what we're meant to say about the graphs! thanks

quicksnap · 10-02-2011 03:48PM

same, having awful trouble interpreting the graph data. Also, the lab manual and my results seem to contradict each other...even the lab manual and the data on the green page contradicts each other. It says
'a slope value > 1.0 indicates that an organ or shape is increasing relatively faster than the referece value, as when claw weight increases faster than body weight' My slope is less than 1.0

Anyone got a link to look at the JS Handbook?

amacachi · 10-02-2011 08:55PM

For those asking about the nephrops thing I'm not just being unhelpful, I just lobbed the data into a spreadsheet and put in a line of best fit. Probably not what they're looking for.

As far as I know it's not out yet. If it is, I doubt it's online yet because I was looking at last year's one yesterday, and if the new one was out they'd have taken the old one down.

can i have a link to the old one please?

Craguls · 10-02-2011 09:11PM

Link here

What's everyone looking at? My top four are Genetics, Immunology, Neuroscience and Molecular Medicine in that order.

It'd only change in a very minor sense anyway. They'd likely just remove physics and comp simulation.

Also re: the JF's and the prawns what I did last year was interpret the results in context to how the organism developed and suggested why it may have evolved that way and how it made sense in terms of it's development and I got 86%. Just try explain what the data means.

My top 4 are Micro, Immuno, Cell Bio, Genetics.

Really hoping to get Micro though. Love the module this year.

Jammyc · 10-02-2011 09:24PM

I'm pretty sure Physiology is still my #1, though Biochemistry in some form seems somewhat appealing so maybe molecular med. Is there a list anywhere of minima of overall grades of people getting each moderatorship?

Not botany.

I can do Zoology, Functional Biology, Geography or Environmental Sciences. That's probably my order of preference, doubt I'd get near Zoology, dunno about Functional Biology. Geography is probably the most like result. Also it's happened again, the need or lack of to do JF Chemistry to do physiology has changed since last time I checked. :pac:

I'd like to know this too?

Any JS Micro students on here?

I graduated from Micro last year, and I don't think there's a list, but the popularity of courses changes from year to year. I think I got a II.2 or lower in SF, but I was one of about three people that had Micro as a first choice. As far as I know it's more popular these days

How many biology modules are you allowed to take in second year?

AFAIK, you can take a max of 40 credits in SF year, so 8! There are 4 to choose from in the first semester and 6 in the second. What I (and most, I think) did was all 4 in the first semester and Chemistry(some did Geology or maths or whatever) and 4 in the second semester. There are specific requirements though for each course, so be wary when picking!

Carl Sagan · 12-02-2011 04:47PM

Why are things like Genetics and Physiology so popular? I've heard from a few people in JS that they're pretty horrible subjects.

Thats unpopular opinion I guess?

Suppose so. Genetics in particular was just made out to be an awful subject.
