CP2029: Basic Pathology (Announcements)

Benjamin Yang — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 16:50:43 +0000

Dear students, may I welcome you back to a new semester with me as we journey through CP2029. I hope with every diseased cell in me that you will enjoy this module and that afterwards - develop a feel and love for this field and perhaps even motivate some of you to go on to pursue further studies or career opportunities eventually finding the solution to some of the toughest mankind's ailments in the not too distant future. I wish you all a memorable semester ahead. Dear students, we have fairly quickly come to an end of the semester. I hope you've had a good time in class but more importantly take away lessons you will use later in life be in theory or personal conduct. We have come a long way from make ups to very long lecture classes to the class outing and finally the exams coming up. I know you all have a tough week ahead of you and I wish you all the best! I am opening a Q&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;A session below (using this announcement section for convenience), please use it to help each other. I will monitor it closely and help whence I can so start the ball rolling! Dear students, we have come to an end of the semester. Giving you all the benefit of the doubt I have decided to add the better marks between the 2 quizzes into your final marks. That has always been my true intentions, though my motive for saying otherwise in class so as to 'coerce' extra motivation and due diligence. I wish all of you the best for your upcoming exams and hope you've enjoyed all the times spent with me. Cardiac students I wish you a smooth graduation ahead, and med tech students - see you in 3rd year; you're seniors finally liao. &amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;gt;Dear all:&amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;gt; I would like to congratulate the whole cohort have generally done very well for this MST. Also those who gave it your best preparatory effort (grades regardless), give yourself a pat on the back. Please help each other out as much as possible in the remaining months as the exams are coming up really soon. Finally, I really can't wait to start the new term. I hope you too. We are going to see and learn a lot of stuff and some things may change your perspectives much. Get ready, and get the vomit bags too! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! ∞ CG1 01.11.10 (extra ischemia/infarct) ∞ CG2 08.11.10 ∞ CG3 15.11.10 ∞ CG4 22.11.10 ∞ CG5 25.11.10 (extra Mendelian genetics of diseases) ∞ TNP ran an article about TP grad with DMD.
