it's not cumulative

12/3/2005 4:06:23 PM

nope, not cumulative.

just cram the night before like all of the other exams. No biggie.

12/3/2005 8:29:40 PM

I didn't cram on the last one and did bad. I made like 38/40 on the other two so with the homeworks being done i'm not worried about it.

12/3/2005 8:38:40 PM

thanks!

Does anyone know what the two friday diseases were for this test?

12/5/2005 12:06:02 AM

Rabies and something else.

how to prepare: look over the notes from page one and do your best to remember everything (you dont need to memorize). then take the practice exam. then go back and look at the things you missed on the practice exam. then memorize the stuff you think will be on the essays. remember there will be three this time. this process takes 3-5 hours.

also, anyone have any good references for the avian flu extra credit? i cant find shit on the molecular structure stuff

12/5/2005 1:20:57 AM

where's the practice exam?

12/5/2005 10:28:23 AM

website noob

12/5/2005 7:31:58 PM

yeah uh it must be hidden or something because i can't find it and neither can anybody else...

12/5/2005 11:17:22 PM

i think rickettsia was one of them (the disease anne frank had), although i'm not sure if it was one of the two he covered from lecture 34

12/6/2005 10:28:20 PM

Rickettsia rickettsii = Rocky mountain spotted fever

12/6/2005 11:29:22 PM

he probably wont curve it, but who knows.

12/7/2005 3:24:28 PM

i was looking at the test averages, and they're kinda low...especially considering i scored above the average each time lol

i'm hoping for a curve


btw if you haven't done so already, sell your book back. i got $62 from the bookstore on campus.

I owned the essay section.

12/7/2005 6:20:54 PM

^^what edition of the book did you have? i tried to sell my 10th edition back at addam's and they said it was too old

Don't sell your book back if you're a micro major - many of the upper-level courses don't have textbooks and if you want anything other than the notes the professor gives you and the internet, you'll need it.

12/7/2005 9:27:21 PM

10th edition

don't go off campus, they don't know anything about which books professors are using. there's been multiple times where aadams told me the teacher's not using it anymore and they'll give me $3 for it. then i go to the campus bookstore, they say the teacher is definitely going to reuse it, and they give me $50 or so for it.

what was the first Q??

#1 - C (i am a dumbass and missed that one
#22 - A epidemic typus (got it right)
#30 - Ann Frank = Rikettsia prowazekii (got it right)


i got #22 and #30 right

was it me or did it seem like a lot of "C" answers?
