I:the final exams of second year, first sem MMA

HISTOLOGY

fuuuhh. alhamdulillah lega giler dh lepas.
to the juniors, u guys better get ready mentally n physically! ~but i bet u can do it~
it was sooo stressful to the point that i wonder, why do we study?
is it for the marks, or for the knowledge?
what should i study? Histo or anat?

FIRST EXAM: Histology - 16/01/09
i studied like hell for histology, even though i heard rumours that it was easy.
there r 2 types of examinations for histology.

Firstly, u have to do the MCQ(unless if u get avtomat which u get by scoring 5 for MCQ in every lesson, n u never skipped the lectures)
i was totally shocked for getting avtomat, alhamdulillah.
i didnt expect it coz i got 4.5 for one of my MCQ which haunted me for days.
by the way at first i got 4 then i begged my teacher, the motherly lyudmilla petryovna bobova
to let me answer again. thats how i get 4.5
the thing that pissed me off was that they didnt inform us earlier that we got avtomat, then we didnt have to study so hard n could concentrate in anatomy.

Secondly, after answering 50 questions of MCQ(i heard it was very hard, some people got 3 out of 5 even though they have only 4 mistakes out of 50 questions!)
u have to walk down the stairs to the histology department.
here, the avtomat students have to answer first.
for the avtomat students the examination was very easy. u choose an envelope, which contains 2 slides.
the teacher(except alexander) will help u; they'll just ask what's the name of this slide, what's inside it.
1st slide: submandibular gland
Q: 1:what kind of gland? mixed gland
2: what are the ducts? interlobular, intercalated..
2nd slide: heart wall(i answered thymus :P)
Q: what is the microscope pointing at?
me: i dont know teacher.
bobova: ooh very bad. its purkinje cell. i give u four.
but overall u get five.

happily, we went outside after answering n told the other students(the non avtomats)
that it was very easy, the teachers didnt ask anything.
but unfortunately, the exam was harder for them.
the teachers were still kind but they asked extra questions, including functions n processes.
the difference btw us was just that we scored 5 for every MCQ.
personally i didnt think it was fair. but of course this is one of god's way to test us.
