Two days ago , i faced to my first challenge in my first semester of my final year , that is Instrumentasi Kimia I exam paper .
At first , i really scare on this subject because i think that i totally stay at a different universe with this subject . How do i say it ? In my mind , I think that this subject is unnecessary subject for biochemist . This is because in this course , what we learnt from it is the principle for an equipment to function , like X-ray tube , detector of some equipment or some rule ( Beer Rule ) . There are nothing relevant with my course at all because what i need to do when i face to this equipment is just use it for my research , nothing above from that . When it cant function well , then i just need to call the worker to fix it up .
Talk back about this exam paper , i think i still can handle it because i also not sure what i written on the paper are the answer which the lecturer want it or not . What i can say now is i had done my best on this subject . When the result come up on December 2010 , i didn't feel any shame or guilty on it .
Finally , i finished my Second Semester of my Second Year in UKM . When i put my last answer sheet ( OMR form ) into a box , i know that i am free from the next second of it . I totally feel released and pleasure because i can finish my all the exams within these three hell-liked weeks . At that moment , i really want to say thank you to all my friends who accompany me all the way from the first day of this semester until yesterday ( i just say it deep inside my heart ) . In reality , i just keep on asking them about how to celebrate this wonderful period .
At this moment , i really don't want to give much comments on the last three papers . I just give a simple description :
Gene Expression : The question style more a least the same with the mid semester exam . Just i feel luckily because there are tutorial question come out at final exam question . For the student who attend the tutorial class like me , i have some bonus for it . So , i hope i can score it although it is 2 credit unit course ( help me 2 cover back )
Immunology : For this paper , since there are a lots of chapter inside this course , therefore the question will cover few chapter only . For example , there are 3 lecturers for this course . The 1st lecturer part come out in objective section and one 15M essay ( topic cover 2 out of 11 chapters ) , the 2nd lecturer part come out at two 10M essays ( topic cover 1 out of 8 chapter. ) and the last lecturer part come out structural question ( 25M ) and objective section ( topic cover 3 out of 8 chapters ) . So , i think i still can handle it , but maybe cant score . Depend on other aspect .
Persekitaran dan Kesihatan ( Environment and health ) : This is a U3 paper . So , it just a 60 objective questions paper . In this paper , i think about 50 out of 60 question are past year question . So , i think i can score this paper . My assignment part ( 40 % ) will determine whether i can get a A's o not !
After that , my second year second semester of my university life is gone ! From next semester , i will busy for my degree final work . I really hope that i can pass through it and move more closer to my dream .
Today , i just finish my 4th papers - Separation Method , half way from the time that i m free . I need to prepare for my 5th paper which i will face it on 22th April 2010 . But , i need to share somethings about the last 2 paper that i took in this week , that is Penulisan dalam Bahasa Cina and kaedah Pemisahan ( Separation Method ) .
When i read through the question paper of the Penulisan Dalam Bahasa Cina , i got another heart attack since the first one occur when i took the Clinical Biochemistry paper ! I totally don't understand why there are 2 essay questions in this paper . Last time , i still remember that lecturer told us that there was 1 comprehensive text and 1 essay to write . Why now got 2 essays to write and 1 comprehensive text to answer ? And the exam time still in 2 hours only . I think the lecturer want to test our writing speed , just like a mini game in Facebook ! Since i at this kind of situation , what i need to do is maximize my writing speed until it reach its limit in order to finish it in time ! thanks god ..
The next paper is Separation Method paper . For this paper , i totally agreed that i don't look important on it especially the part of distillation . When i read the question that relevant with the distillation part , i totally don't understand what the question want from me ! So , as usual , i gave up that particular question ! However , when i left the exam hall and have small discussion with my course-mate , she told me that the question that i don't answer well is almost the same with the note we had . At this moment , i really want to kill myself . Fortunately , i am not that kind of people ! Another part of question , i still can handle it especially Dr. Musa's part ! Thanks for his kindness . Hope he can give a good mark to me !
This is all about what i feel on this two papers ! Hope i can handle the next 4 papers . Work Smart , donaldlkk !
Today is the second week of my exam week . For this moment , i just took 3 papers out of total 8 papers that i supposed to take it . However , i don't see a bright future on the next 5 papers because i think i done badly on my first 3 papers . I really don't know why i could done so badly since i done my revision one weeks before my exam week . Let me talk about the worst among these three papers , that is Clinical Biochemistry .
Before i took this exam , i just think that all the questions will relevant with the diseases only , like Nephrotic syndrome , hypoglycemia , krioglobulinemia and more . But , when i opened the exam paper and read through it , i found that i need to answer the question like this : Explain the synthesis of norepinephrine and epinephrine from amino acid , thyroxine . At that moment , i totally get shocked on it . Why we need to remember this thing . Does these things useful for us when talk with our client ? I think that if i was the patient , i would not want to know about it because i am totally outsider for me . In my deep heart , i will say that as a medical officer , you just need to tell me what is health problem i have , then this is good enough for me .
By the way , all my answers in the answer paper is in BAHASA MELAYU . I really don't understand what the higher officer in my faculty think about it . They don't think there is a problem for them because they just teach and mark the paper . For a student like us , we need to memorize all the scientific term in BAHASA MELAYU . At the same time , all the reference books we had is in BAHASA ENGLISH . So , we need to do another work , that is GOOGLE TRANSLATE . what the hell man ? On the other hand , some of lecturers quite good for us , too . They knew that we lack of reference , so they prepared the notes in BAHASA MELAYU to reduce our work . I really appreciate on their work . However , one particular lecturer is too lazy to do ! She just taught us and make some joke until finish the syllabus in the simple without giving us any notes . She just told us that go to library and search the book named " Endrocrinology " . Wah , you think that this information is enough for us ! You really a good lecturer ! I cant give you any comment on it ! let other do it for you !
This just a small part of a aisberg liked problem . I tell you all about another story on next post . I need to study for my tomorrow paper - another paper in BAHASA MELAYU !
Last saturday , i need to have my Co-k exam , that is Persatuan Pelajar II .
For this paper , i just can answer about 75%- 80 % questions out of 50 questions because there are 10 questions are past year questions . i fell so sad on it . But , what can i do ? Just take it easy !!!!
Yesterday , i need to take my last exam paper , that is Fundamental of Microbioloy .
For this paper , i am sure that i lost 16 marks out of 100 marks in this paper because i checked it out when i went back to my room . By the way , i can answer 65 % - 70 % of this paper . I think that this is a good news for me . Hence , i hope that i can get a good result from the lecturer .
After finishing this paper , my 1st year university life is gone . When i start my new semester , i will become 2nd year student and i will more bust than my 1st year . I hope i can settle it well .
F0r this day , i need to exam for two papers , that is Cell Biology at 0830 and TITAS at 1530 .
Let me start from the cell biology .
For this paper , i lose about 7 marks of 100 marks in this paper . Why i knew because i get the answer from the book and my friends . The remaining marks i still not sure about it . In this paper , there are 25 multiple choice questions , 25 true - false questions and 15 short structure questions . I think i can answer about 60 - 70 % of these question , other just depend the lecturer how to mark it . i hope i can get a high mark from him and her .
Then , i talk about the TITAS paper .
For this paper , i very disappointing about this . This is because only about 10 questions are the past year questions , other are the new questions . Although i read the book , however i still can't answer all the question because all terms , all sentences and the elaborations make me hate on it . For those who study this TITAS , he or she will know about my feeling . Hence , for this paper , i can't say i can get a A's for sure . Just GOD Bless me !!!!!!!
Now , i still have two more paper need to exam , that is Persatuan Pelajar II ( my Co-k Course ) and the last major course - Mircobiology .After these to paper , i will be free from hell and go to Heaven .... Do you agree ?
The paper i took is Biodiversity of Animals and Plants
This exam paper is divided into 4 parts :
Objective question : all questions are related with the animal part - HEMICHORDATA & CHORDATA . For this part , i think i can answer about 50-65 % of 25 questions .
Fill in the blanks section : For this section , all question are related with the plants part , that is moss , equisetumsp, gymnosperm and the angiosperm . For your information , i just can answer 50-60 % , the other answers i still not sure correct or wrong . This depends on my LUCK .
True or false section : For this section , i think i can answer almost 90 % of 20 questions . This is the best part of the paper .
Essay section : There are 4 questions for us to choose and we need to choose 1 question for 15 marks . For this , i choose the essay title " describe the asexual and sexual reproduction of the Hepaticae and Anthocerocae " . I think that i can answer this question well , but just depend on lecturer how to give the marks .
Overall this paper still consider a tough paper , although just a 2 unit course because a lots of information need to remember .
lastly , i will have my computer course exam paper tomorrow .
