Thread: Waiting for test results for first microbio exam...

I recieved an e-mail on Friday night stating that tests were graded and that in order to get my grade I'd have to fill out a questionnaire to get it. I checked my inbox literally 100 or more times this weekend and this morning and I still have no grade!! Am I wrong to feel so frustrated? I mean, you tell someone their test is graded and that they have to fill out a questionnaire to get it is annoying enough...also, the test was diffcult and everyone in the class is fretting over thier grades..it feels like absolute torture!!!

Oh, you're studying microbiology? How are you liking it? Post about microbiology come up so little on this forum that I almost never have anything to post about

I'm sure you'll do fine on the test, just stay calm and wait it out.

Cool..you can help me if I need it then ...watch this space for questions!!! This week we're discussing protein synthesis and all that general bio review stuff..later on it'll get interesting

Ha no problem, good luck on your exam grade.

Well..since posts never come up about your area of expertise...We just discussed parasites in class. What's your favorite parasite and why?

I prefer the tapeworm Taenia solium for the weight loss benefits and because their primitive body structures are a window to our evolutionary past...I find it fascinating to compare the invertebrate brain with that of humans and every permutation in between (Cephalopods, Reptiles, other mammals, etc). It is also fascinating that the segmented cells of creatures like the tapeworm come together in arthropods to form specialized structures.

I love my class and I've learned so much but the teacher is a harsh grader. I studied everyday for my last test and got a low C. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a C as a final grade. I've never had a teacher this difficult before and I have 100 hours under my belt..a friend of mine who works for a lab got a D..says a lot in my opinion...
