Why is your sleep pattern messed up ????

If its because you have had to stay up late and finish it off, then you need to learn how to manage your time/work loads....
Quite a basic skill once you start work....

Less time in pub more time doing what you should be Rolling Eyes

Students think they have it bad, they should try marking the stuff!
Doing your folder work would have been a lot easier if you had not spent so much time playing stick cricket and pool when you thought the teacher was not looking BTW.

Just finished my uni coursework yesterday as well. Was due in today but I couldn't be assed getting up for 8am so got it in early. Thumbs Up
As for exams, I have a human genetics one on Tuesday that I haven't even looked at revising for, likewise a Physical chemistry one on the thursday, then I'll have a week to revise for toxicology & substances of abuse. Apart from toxicology it's a semester of boring subjects.

Next year honours Crying or Very sad

The only coursework I had to hand in were Case Report Patients, basically where you take someone form the A&E Dept and treat them over the year to do all the work that needs done on them, then write a report on what you did and you get grilled by external examiners in an oral exam (on the 28th May) about why you did/didn't do certain things. Got 2 of the 3 totally finished treatment, but one of my pts has been a somewhat poor attender and coupled with the fact they are on the methadone programme means that there's always new stuff needing done every time they come in. Not that that has stopped them just not turning up for the last few appointments mind you! Oh and the medical records for my number 1 case (the one I will be getting examined on) have gone missing now in the records dept. and given that they include radiographs which I can't get copies of but need for the presentation, I'm starting to worry a bit...got another 3 weeks to find them mind, but they've been looking for them for the past 3 as well...

Sit-down exam wise, I should be done on Tuesday - just the one written paper this year. The it's just the 2 orals on 27th and 28th. Bit of extra stress is that I managed to get myself a job lined up starting August 3rd - but as the resits are in mid August, if I fail then I loose that too...nothing like a bit of pressure, eh!?

Good luck to every one else too!

I had a similar piece of coursework. Had to collect trace evidence from a crime scene, analyse evidence, write an expert witness statement on the analysis etc then get grilled in a "Courtroom" for 10+ minutes. I dreaded that part but I did quite well Laughing and laid the smackdown on the "lawyer".

Haha, good on you! Yeah, this is the bit I'm dreading most too but simply because there are a number of specialists in their field on the external examiner panel and they will pick up if you haven't done everything exactly by their book (lots of them have written books and papers on their subjects and they do not necessarily correlate exactly with what the specialists teach us at Dundee). We've got an 'unseen' case to present too where we will have 30mins with a pt to examine, diagnose and treatment plan before going into the room again, but one would hope that they aren't going to be as strict for this one because there is not much time to prepare!

Incidentally, how you enjoying Aberdeen? My bro is just about to go into 4th year Medicine up there and I've done a fair bit of work at the outreach centre at ARI so I know the place quite well - was actually considering it for work next year (they are seriously short of NHS Dentists up there) but decided on Inverness instead, one of the reasons being that it's perfectly placed to enjoy some of the best roads in the country! However Speyside has some amazing roads (and some amazing whisky!) too.

It's boring, but then again I've lived here most of my life Laughing My dentist at Foresterhill (on ARI site) is brilliant, and smoking hot, I want her to examine more than just my teeth. Drooling

Specialists are the worst in such situations. Some of my coursemates had Professor Dave Barclay (I drop his name as he's appeared on TV, on that Maddie McCann dispatches episode is one notable appearance) former head of one division of Manchester forensics or something. He is a right laugh in lectures but a stern cunt in the courtroom.

Inverness roads are great, just watch and don't get too comfortable, lot of accidents involving bikers enjoying the great roads. Was considering moving out there when finished degree, but obviously not a lot in the Forensics/Analytical Science world out there Crying or Very sad

I think I know the one you mean, shortish blonde hair - Heather something i think? She was a year or 2 above me. That's where we work when we're up there, but in the big clinic that's to the left as you walk down the corridor.

I had Prof Sue Black for a project supervisor when I was in first year (was doing Medicine at the time and it was about 'The use of the Frontal Sinus in Forensic Investigations')- I didn't realise who she was and pissed her around a little when it came to deadlines and actually doing the work, it was only after reading an article in the paper around the time of the tsunami where she was mentioned and then seeing her on the BBC news that I felt like a bit of a prat! I was still in the mind-set that I was in at School where the people teaching you are, by in large, not very well renowned in their fields...last time I made that mistake!

Finished my ICT coursework weeks ago and it came back with a B.

I'm in the middle of my 15 hour exam now and that is on a B at the moment with about 9 hours to go so I should get an A on that.

I got a C in my psychology coursework which I also finished ages ago.

I've got 4 weeks until my first written exam start so plenty of time yet.

No pressure Cool

We must be doing a different ICT course lol.
My exam was in feb. I had 3 units to do, 1st was about ICT in society, 2nd was the exam and 3rd was building a database for a client. We haven't received any marks back either.

Are you in your first or second year?

I'm on the Welsh board so that might be the reason that it's different as well.

Nope! I think I've seen that one too though! My dentist is Monica Lozowska. Everyone knows her so if you spent time there I'm sure you would. Laughing
