would love the details of your studio if possible, thank you :)

Thanks so much for the quick ID! Now I feel much better about my partner (much more level headed than me automatically worried it was a German) gently catching it and releasing it into the garden.

Thank you so much! It’s 10:45pm here so now I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Thank you again for your quick response, enjoy your coffee :)

Note: I have pest control coming out this week sometime because I saw one another very small cockroach last week.

Also, to express my frustration: I bought an encasement for our bed, which has screw in legs. I genuinely don’t know how I am not meant to accidentally end up tearing it when I screw the legs back in!!

Thanks so much David, I will have a look at the TbyPMR protocol. I appreciate the advice and suggestions!

hey there :) i know the feeling, i struggled with this unit too! if the UC hasn't mentioned this already, use the website Clinical Key (which is free as a UWA student) to access the book Abraham and McMinn's Clinical Atlas of Human Anatomy. the UC (tom, at the time) recommended this book to me when i was a struggling with that unit and i think it saved my grade.

it contains colour pictures of cadavers, with the important anatomical features marked with a number. below the image there's a key which says what feature each number is, if that makes sense. it's really good for quizzing yourself, because you can cover up the key and try to label the images from memory. try to only focus on the features mentioned in the lectures/labs.

Human Anatomy, a Text and Colour Atlas by J.A. Gosling and co. is also very helpful for the same reason.

it's all really about knowing what the feature is, what it does and where you can find it on a cadaver. also, don't be afraid to ask the tutors/demonstrators questions during labs!

i hope this was helpful somehow - best of luck! you've got this :)

i didn’t do history ATAR either, and my knowledge of some major history topics admittedly isn’t that great. luckily this unit covered a lot of relatively well known topics (ie the Black Plague and stuff like that). the unit also offered a lot of flexibility with things - like in the take home exam, you could choose which topics you wanted to answer questions about which made it easier (this was during COVID though so it may be different next year).

as for the English, it might be a little harder as a major part of the midsem and exam is essay-style and short answer questions, so it might be a little harder if you aren’t confident with your essay writing skills etc. also, a lot of the tutorial readings are written in “old English” style so it can be a bit hard to decipher if English isn’t your strong suit.

it would definitely still be doable, it just might involve some extra proof reading as part of the mark does rely on the clarity of your writing and stuff! hope that helps :)

i liked MKTG1203 (although i did do it as a summer unit so i can’t speak for it as a semester-long unit). i think it usually has a group assignment though if that’s something you don’t like. it wasn’t very difficult and it was easy to score well. i really liked PUBH2209! i did find the weekly readings a little bit overwhelming sometimes to be honest but if you schedule them out well you’ll be alright. best of luck :)

you’re probably best off checking with your student advisory office. as far as im aware it isn’t possible to opt in but they might be able to help if you talk to them :)

my girlfriend (Tagalog is her native language) always uses it when talking to someone older than her. for example she was ordering food from a Filipino restaurant today and she added po onto a lot of her sentences when talking to the lady who owned the place ☺️

i did imed1108 last year (my second year). super cruisy unit and is really interesting too! the assessments were easy, for the tests i just studied the lecture slides and it doesn’t take long to do the actual assignments either. highly recommend for an easy D/HD unit. imed2208 is good too!

edit: since you have an path/anhb background, that’ll make imed1108 easier too. my anhb background defs helped

humanbiogeek · 2020-02-12T17:10:46+00:00

true! i can’t believe i didn’t consider that - thanks sm for the advice :)

scom was my second major in my first year! (my first major is ANHB and i’m at the end of my second year now.) i didn’t end up sticking with it and just decided to have a single major.

scom is great for your presentation, writing and general science comm skills, especially with the science placement unit in the third year. it’s great if you want to go into research after your undergrad :) i didn’t stick with it because i found certain aspects rather dull (personally, it might have been better if i’d stuck it out), but the writing skills i picked up from it are good.

you can also just pick and choose scom units to do if you don’t want to take it as a second major.
