Bioscience 2 September 1st

Hi everyone, Today you should be thinking about moving on to the endocrine system unit but with the first test fast approaching on Friday, I can appreciate that your mind may not be 100% on hormones. I can reassure that the endocrine system unit is not so large as that frightful nervous system one, but much of it will again be new for you with some awful hormone names to learn----so dont get too far behind!

I see some of you still have to do the nervous system quiz so make sure you get that done before next Monday when it will disappear from sight. Dont worry if your marks show up as a padlock instead of the marks you actually got. I can still go in behind the scenes and see each test you did and what you got for them. I am getting advice on why Blackboard is doing that for some people.

So the test: It will be an hour long, 9 -10am, on the 6th floor (I think!) and will be worth 15% of your total marks. There are 60 marks in the actual test, with 20 of them from human systems, cells and tissues and the rest on the nervous system.

Once you have done the test, the practical/tutorial will be on the endocrine system so having made a start on it will make the exercises much more meaningful and valuable.

See you there,
Cheers Ruth
