Hopefully, you are enjoying your well-deserved break and also preparing for Semester 2 as well! With Semester 2 lurking around the corner, here are some things to add to your checklist:
Semester 2 Checklist:
Enrolments: Gen-Ed Hop onto SSO and check that your timetable for Sem 2. Please make sure that you’re actually enrolled in a gen-ed paper too!
MEDSCI142: Pick up course guides The course guide will be available for pick up prior to the beginning of Sem 2 so keep an eye out on Canvas for pre-semester announcement for MEDSCI142. Alternatively, you can visit our Biomed/Healthsci FB page for pick up times and locations.
MEDSCI 142: Perfect bound vs Ring bound Though it might be a simple choice, such choice often leaves many students divided. The MEDSCI142 course guide will come in 2 forms - perfect bound or ring bound. Both have identical course content and students must choose one upon collection. Attached below are some pros and cons of both types of course-guide; there is no right or wrong, it is merely just a personal preference so don’t sweat it!
MEDSCI 142: Lab preparation Labs for MEDSCI 142 will commence from Week 1, thus it is a good idea to pick up your course guide prior to Semester 2 so that you can prep and read over Lab 1. Pre-reading is especially crucial to MEDSCI142 as every lab is assessed at the end of each lab through 10 MCQs that are based not the lab & its associated content. Hence, we highly advise students to pick up their course guides before semester 2 begins so that you are able to go through the lab content & its recommended textbook readings.
MEDSCI142, BIOSCI106, PHYSICS160: Lectures & Labs Hop onto SSO and familiarise yourself with your timetable. Double check to see if you have any labs in week 1. For specific information regarding your Sem 2 papers, keep an eye out on Canvas for course-related announcements.
