wondering why i said that?
yes, last thursday, i had a practical exam after done with it, i had some time talking to one of the tutor, Ms Meghna Nadiger. She was a medical students once and now teaching us practicals.
I asked her how to study physiology ( cause she was tutoring physiology practicals) and she said that read,read and read. Then, it will be stored nicely in our frontal lobe. I saw a MCQ papers she was holding and i asked her about it, she answered that she is attending an exam which she needs to score well. I wonder why, and it's because if she got it wrong 1/4 of the total 1 marks on each questio will be deducted and she refuse to accept that because, for her, it's a waste while she actually can gain mark if it's true instead of losing marks.
I have this thought, IF our mcqs were like that, i'll be doomed. ironically, she was a Ramaiah College student and she got distinction during her first year medical course and i was like...OH-MEE-GOD! that's super cool ok! while i was still crawling to get a pass...PASS not really distinction. Medical in india is the best i said because of it's system itself i guess. You see, we even can have experience to touch a cadaver in the first year while in Europe hardly to get this opporturnity, so we got the experience to approach a real body and that makes it's more to practical. Not that i suggest we lack of theory, in fact we all were insufficient of holidays while in 4 seasons country that offers medic, 3 month of holiday for summer, which make we have whole day in a week for theory classes.
But , the student will definitely suffer like hell to read and cover up for the whole week, and that explains the no-life-term in medical student. But, stated here that i do have life ok!
I and a few friends also do get some advices from her...KEY TO SUCCESS
- Read up
- Pay attention in Class
- Read up.
Simple, but it's worth it.Yeah, i forget to mention Ms Meghna is a daughter of our Biochemistry Lecturer ( Mr Nadiger) who was once a lecturer in USM,Kubang Kerian. Mr Nadiger live in Malaysia for 10 years and Ms Meghna was in Malaysia for 1 one and a half years there, so they can speak Malay language.
Finally, i'm a free man now..I've just done with all the practicals exam and theory as well and 2nd Internal Assesment is OVER! and i'm feeling good about it!
