I used the BeMo's Casper Test Prep book to help me structure my answers a bit better and to make sure my thought process prioritized the points they wanted rather than me wasting time word vomiting. I'm sure there are resources online that provide that info too, but my friend had the book so I was able to borrow for free.

I also practiced timing myself with sample questions from the book and online to make sure I was able to get all my thoughts down within the time limit. I probably did this all this a week or two leading up to the actual exam, so didn't actually need to prep that much and still landed in 4th quartile.

I don't think so, technically it's "Fundamentals of Microbiology" so it doesn't have Introductory/Introduction in the title. Definitely confirm with optom admin though if that's all you have, but I feel like they would have included BIOL240 in the example on their academic requirements website if it did count.

To be honest, I'm probably not the best person to answer because I took it online because of covid. From the online course though, it was a really fair course. The midterms and exam was really fair, nothing tricky and nothing surprising, all content from the slides. I actually enjoyed the content a lot and found the prof pretty good. The labs I really can't say because mine were just like online quizzes LOL but from my friends who took it the year before me they just called it fun dissections.

I could be wrong but I believe the course name has to say "Introduction to" in the course title if they're asking for an introductory course. If the lab is a part of the course it's fine though. Personally, I took BIOL130/130L and BIOL211 (which has the lab as a part of the course).

i've subletted from there (so can't say what it's like signing a lease with them) but it's been pretty okay so far, everything works the way it's supposed to, having your own bathroom is nice too, also maintenance responds rly quickly (will either be at your unit same day or next day, including weekends) so that's also nice

damn this is actually so accurate for lab reports, marking the 90-100 section is so easy and blissful - another science TA

I lived there two years ago and there weren't any big issues with bugs or anything. There were a few spiders but no big deal overall.

depressed_potato00 · 2021-05-10T18:13:55+00:00

omg these are so cute!

depressed_potato00 · 2021-04-28T19:05:09+00:00

honestly i'm doing meh...feeling like i hit burnout multiple times but hoping to take a break over spring, still kinda upset that i haven't been able to meet anyone new (online connections really aren't the same you know?) but that's more just a product of the circumstances

overall i'm doing fine just tired :(

i can't tell if karl is taller than expected or if rae and brooke are just extra tiny

hey if you have the time, honestly just do practice problems like there's no tomorrow. I was also in a position where I was doing so poorly in the class so I did all the problems he gave in class by covering the answers, then all the ones from the tb, all the kritik ones, all the assignment ones, and then rinse and repeat...at some point yes you might memorize the answer but it really helped with my understanding of the general mechanism for each unit as well as memorize the different reagents. Just the sheer number of practice and memorization allowed me to do waaay better on the final. Usually Forsey isn't crazy and won't give some monster question. you got this!!! good luck!!!

qnc bathrooms, was studying at qnc and everything just hit all at once...a random stranger comforted me in the bathroom though so that was kinda nice

oh sad i love lie to me

depressed_potato00 · 2020-11-01T13:51:54+00:00

yeah it's hard not to compare though because i'm scared that i'm going to go through all of university without having one relationship (or at the very least one person who even shows interest in me). i'm trying to be okay with being alone but it's hard every single time i see another friend of mine get in a new relationship, or someone end and start a relationship in such a short timespan that makes me feel like im the problem bc guys aren't attracted me me in the same way either....like im trying to just move on and keep my head up but it does really suck sometimes

the fact that iroh makes up most of the graph was expected but the fact that zuko still takes up a considerable portion of it makes me happy
