About my exams and a bit about next semester
This semester I had 3 exams and few mid-term tests. I passed all of my mid-terms just fine, they were pretty easy and didn’t have much of a problem with them.
First and by far the worst exam was biophysics. It has two parts, written test and oral part. I passed the test with 14,5/25 points (I needed 14/25 to pass 😅). I failed the oral part, because the topics I got weren’t the best (laser microskopes and something with diffusion), so I had to retake the exam. This time I got better topics, optical microskopes and structure and biophysical characteristics of proteins and nucleic acids, so I got a B on that.
First aid was a breeze, we had to perform CPR, and then the doctor asked us a few questions about shock, bleeding etc. and done.
Public health is hell. Literally, hell. It’s pretty useless, it’s a part of one state exam, but why do we have it in the first year? I didn’t pass it (got 12/20, needed 14/20). I have to retake the exam in 3rd semester, fortunately not the whole course.
Anyways, I’m pretty excited about the next semester, we will have histology and embryology, which I look forward to so much. For the other subjects, we will continue with anatomy, latin, english and biology. Nothing else new.
