EOSC 118 Final Exam

Anonymous asked how to prepare for the EOSC 118 Final exam.

I'll begin with how I prepared for the EOSC 118 final exam.
Frankly speaking, I didn't prepare much, all I did was to read over the notes that I had taken over the term, and went over all the quiz questions. To tell you the truth, this wasn't enough. (I couldn't give much time as I had BIOL 200 exam on the same day!)
The exam was 100 MC questions - I answered 60 questions with confidence and guessed the rest of the 40 questions. I think they scaled the final exam -  because I ended up with 90. I guess  this is why Science students say EOSC 118 is a booster because in other words, if I could answer more questions, then my mark would have been way higher. (My friend actually got 100 so there you go) I don't really remember what was on the exam, but what I can advise you to do is to try to understand the diagrams and science behind the lectures. There are only few lectures (I think) that has the actual Science component in it, so make sure you understand those, and memorize some of the diagrams (especially chemistry related) - I remember some questions were strictly off from the diagram/model.
Well, It's been 2 years since I've taken the course, I hope things haven't changed much.
Just study hard! Just do better than others and you will definitely be rewarded.

ps. Don't miss any of the bonus surveys like I did...
Hope this helps!

    Oh thank you for the information! ...but certainly, undoubtedly, they've changed it a lot. Im taking it as an online course, and there are more quizzes, sketchings, and also one short essay. Anyway, I hope I will be lucky and have a good time writing the exam tomorrow :P

4th Year Term 1 Review

BIOL 301 - Biomathematics  class average = 81 The course covers mathematical models used in biological systems - you learn about Single variable models, multi-variable models (2x2 Matrix) and a little bit of probability models to account for stochasticity. I took it because I wanted to learn more math than 1st year calculus (and also has high class average!). At first I was intimidated because it had weekly assignments from pre-reading(usually one chapter a week) + programming (for Mathematica) + many students with much more MATH background than MATH 102/103. I was actually considering dropping the course, but it turned out that the professor covers much of the topic in class anyways and the assignments aren't too difficult either(you can always get help form the TA). Weekly labs are just for participation marks too. Moreover, you don't need much background in mathematics to do well in this course; in fact, I did pretty well even though I didn't remember much calculus fr

4th year Term 2 Review

BIOL 458 - Developmental Neurobiology  class average = 79 This course deals with the brain development from the neuralation all the way up to neural degeneration & aging. Simply put, this course has both developmental biology and neuroscience aspects. Many topics are covered through out the term - the topics include, neurotrauma, behavioral development, congenital disorders, neural refinement, axon outgrowth, differentiation, migration and neural tube formation etc. As you can expect from the list, many topics are covered and a lot of the materials are directly from the cutting edge papers making the course material dense with knowledge. Too much of the information are thrown at you and at some point you start worrying how you would study for all this information. However, Dr. Steeves will tell you what will be on the exam during his review session - everything that he mentions that day will be on the exam, no more, no less. So you just have to attend lectures, enjoy what he say
