Aaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back home.
I think I did better than expected, other than color pictures being printed black and white (not even grey scale) I did ok.
And the instructor projected the real pictures on the screen. I loved seeing every one else freaked out, I smoked a bowl before I left and popped a 10mg addy to help with concentration.
Tomorrow, Biology lab.

Got a 80.06%
Looks like I got what I was aiming for.
Overall grade is 75%, would of had an A if I would of done an assignment.
But oh well, I'm perfectly fine with a C, because that is all I need for the credits to transfer 
I love the bare minimum.

Another bowl, another 10mg of addy, and another final.
Bio lab, please don't kick my ass.
Fucking practical half of the exam for the lose. 
Hoping for a 75%, but shooting for 85%.

you're not good at the practical part? I feel like that's usually the easy part because you don't have to actually have anything memorized, you just think about it and figure it out as you go. Then again, my brain is wired for problem solving so I guess I might just be weird in that department. I got a 96% in physics because I could sit and think about the problems but failed calculus because there was no practical application to the math

WOOT! School's out for summer b! Well actually I might go ahead and take a class in the summer cause I had to withdraw it due to schedule conflicts and it's the last one I need for the AA.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

Practical in biology is exactly memorization. Memorizing models, disections, and slides. And then being shown them and being able to name them. So I don't exactly see the problem solving there.
I got an A in Chemistry last semester, that practical part was easy. Actually, beyond easy.

I always considered the practical portion of the exam to be the part where they give you a research goal and you design the experiment. At least that's how they did it here, must have different names for the portions of exams where you are

We have the written (all essay questions) and practical (all in the lab area).
On practical here all we do is regurgitate whatever slide/model/dissection information we were told to memorize.
Like, I will use todays as an example.
They had disected Bivalves (I think fresh water mollusk), frogs, fetal pigs, a pigeon, crawfish, starfish, and a grasshopper (plus we had to sex an Ascaris worm). Models of a flower, an animal cell, a plant cell, a root tip, a leaf cross section, the stages of mitosis, the stages of meiosis, a grasshoper, a crawfish, a fetal pig, and a bivalve. And slides of Various fungi (Rhizopus and Penicillium.), bacteria (not sure what they were, didn't study that much.), plant parts (antheridia, archegonia, leaf cross sections, root cross sections, and a pine male strobulus) , and animal parts (Mostly flat worms and round worms was only like 3). And we had to either identify them (on the slides) or identify whatever parts are labeled.
We didn't do any experiments, do people even do experiments in biology class? I mean there isn't much you can experiment on that I have noticed.

I thought you said it was bio lab 
In which case... yes, it's ALL experiments out here. We have 2 hours a day of lecture, and 4 hours a week of lab work that's nothing but experiments

It is bio lab.
What you you experiment on?
I mean, we do labs but I wouldn't really call the experiments. We don't learn anything new, no testing of a hypothesis, no data collection. Pretty much the only hands on thing we do is dissection, which to me isn't an experiment.
Wait!
We did one experiment where we tracked the direction a roach traveled when dropped in a tray.
Other than that, nothing.
Out lab notebooks were essentially just fill in the blank textbooks.
We have 3 hrs a week of lecture (1 hr MWF), and 3 hrs a week of Biology (1.5 hr TH).

Well it was supposed to be 100% random.
But ours went front and to the right 5/10 times.

really? that's all you guys do in lab? Man we drive into the mountains and catalogue diversity for upstream and downstream sites to test hypothesis about water pollution, catalogue tree diversity and population density to account for rates of pine-beetle kill and use High pressure gas chromatography to demonstrate how higher elevation plants photosynthesize different spectrums of light than low elevation plants to adjust for the differences in scattering and refraction from less atmospheric interference. And that's just for Bio 1000, higher level ecology and bio classes get even cooler. You never even did PCR or gel electrophoreisis?

Nope, never done any of that.
