There is a lost property thing.  I remember seeing a notice in my portal about it.  But it was a while after exams.

I would ask an invigilator in your next exam.

Without the magic and stuff, yeah. There are formal dinners and there are "eat whenever you want" dinners

The question was based on a slide of the life cycle of Taenia that I showed in my 2nd lecture, on the 10th August (as you will hear if you listen to the audio). I went through this lifecycle specifically. Further, you studied Taenia in your practical 2 (pages 6-8), including the cysticercus stage, the scolex, and both mature and gravid p...roglottids of the adult stage, so the diagrams in the question should have been familiar to you on the basis of the practical alone.

Just because I did not include that slide on the LMS section does NOT mean that the material was not examinable. I seldom if ever put all slides on the LMS. ALL lecture and prac material is examinable. We are an on-campus university, and students should not expect to be able to answer exam questions if they do not attend the lectures. In the revision lecture I said that yes, you should know the life cycles of parasites that you studied.

If by welcome to university you mean an exam for Psychology that is purely multiple choice, has at least 25% of questions that we have seen before and have been told are going to be on the exam, then yes, welcome to university.

you would have had to apply though VTAC, late applications (so you would have to pay a fee) close in a  few days i believe...

HAHA WHAT LECTURER WAS THAT?  Lol'd so hard.
YEAH IF WE HAD TO DEAL WITH FOSSILS which weren't even on our slides...
Anyway why assume something in prac isn't on the exam?  I revised all of the diagrams from prac the night before Biology (not that they even came in handy, clearly should have spent my time looking over the extinction crap).

Cogpsych - all of our practice questions were in the exam, and they provided very detailed answers (ie, not just 'Answer is A') and why those were the case AND we went through the answers in our last lab class.

So like 15 questions, had you gone to Lab 6 and bothered to open a document on the LMS, were guaranteed marks.  And this is second year!  The exam for it is all multi choice too, and only worth 50%.  I think people need the exam to be easy if they screw up the report (and by that I mean, don't get a H1) because if you don't get a H1 then your honours prospects are practically non existent from the beginning.

^ You're kidding! They really go about making it easy for Psych students, that really is a joke in terms of serious academics in my opinion.

Appaz it's not for all four, my friends said that in Dev Psych you have to write essays and (being Arts students) they all found Biopsych very difficult.  And I think CogPsych was considered demanding in terms of content, still that's 15/100ish questions.  Plus our lab report topic was very difficult, chosen by the lecturer to mirror a paper he's about to publish - I don't thiiiink they do that every year.

BUT HEY, I WAS LIKE 'SCOREEE'.  Until I got to stats, failed that section.

It was a different type of Taenia on our exam (as compared to the one we did in prac) and the prac had no diagram in it. I don't get how we're supposed to remember an image we've seen for no longer than 30 seconds. Also the diagram on our exam featured a number of extra details about the lifecycle that weren't in the prac either. The lecturer was Rob Day, absolute prick. 2 of his questions were scraped from our MST because they had incorrect solutions and topics we had never learnt. We were all pissed off at him for screwing us over once again, hence the large amount of complaining :P
