It's kinda hard..

Today's review session was more of an eye-opener for me. Most of us came into the LT expecting exam formats and tips. But rather today we got a taste of what upper studies is all about. Gone were the days of regurgitation, of days where grammar was only confined to English lessons, or even practising over and over again ten-year series questions.

I don't know about other modules, but so far for physio, it was basically thinking questions. Though I cannot deny that questions that focused on recall will be present, it was the application questions that got me.

An interesting question was about a sprinter who had an accident, recovered and wanted to be a marathon runner. The question was what kind of exercises do you recommend the person and to justify the reason. So we learned about sarcomeres and white muscle and red muscle, slow and fast muscle, and isometric exercises. So it was more of applying the knows.

And it was shocking to know that some people could write 6 pages for an answer and still got zilch in the end. On the other hand, it was suffice to know that 1.5 pages was enough to score 19/20. So quality over quantity.

Who would have thought of giving a summary question for physio with a limit of 150 words? Well, Prof Ip thinks otherwise. Kinda feels like a biology Gp lesson. Haha.. well, first paper is nest Saturday.. so it's full speed ahead for me..
