Dbrainiac1:. A graduate of anatomy cannot pass anatomy MB? After effective reading? that's shocking though. Ad love to know WHY? Cos its not normal. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by jemmiee(f): 8:52am On May 21, 2016 |
dearpiriye:. For the records, I'm not talking based on assumptions, ai graduated from unical. In Unical, the anatomy and physiology students do attend lectures with Medicine students. Ai had a lot of friends who were studying medicine. Some where graduates. Amongst them, graduates of anatomy passed the first and second MB gracefully and with distinctions (they were hardworking people) (in Unical, physiology, anatomy and Medicine students used to offer same courses in year one, two and three). Now here's my point, ai won't say they just sat back and folded their arms and assumed they knew it, hell no! my point is that, assimilation will be easier, since they are stuffs they've learnt before. They will find it easier to read, understand, and give back to the lecturers what they want. Like me now, in my year two, ai used to write stories, for example if I'm asked in exam to write on the anatomy of the mammary gland, ai will write and fill two pages of my answer scripts(ai hated diagrams).. at the end, al see a C. Ai got so devastated and ai had to meet my lecturers to explain for me. Twas then ai realised that when asked questions in anatomy, don't beat about the bush, go straight to the point, use headings (e.g. Introduction, diagram, blood supply, venous drainage, innervation, lymphatic drainage, applied anatomy). when asked in histology, state only what you will see under the microscope, adding a note on its functions, with appropriate diagrams, when asked in embryology, state only how it was made or formed, the different stages, is it from ectoderm, mesenchyme or endoderm? with appropriate diagrams and applied anatomy. You know when ai discovered that, my A's started flowing in, though ai got the info late. Now, tell me if ai will make same mistake if I'm given a second chance to do a B.Sc again, no! So for me, (ai don't know about the 2.1 graduates of anatomy you were talking about) When ai get admission to do this medicine, ai will use my experience, coupled with determination, desire and make sure ai don't repeat same mistakes ai made in my first degree. Ai will correct all the mistakes, disappointments and guilt. 6 Likes 1 Share |

jemmiee:From first & second mb now it's anatomy mb ko? Remember there's physiology and biochemistry... such graduates are here in our class, failed the exam, either resitted or repeated and it's not that they weren't brilliant. They just thought first mb would be easy for them because they have a first degree, I repeat having a first degree doesn't guarantee you passing 1st n 2nd mb. 1 Like |

Dbrainiac1:Tis OK. Thanks for the correction. But you don't still get my point doh. Don't bother, ai don't argue. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by charleymed(m): 9:40am On May 21, 2016 |
jemmiee:I get what you are saying, but I think it's more of an assumption than a fact. From experience i have noticed that graduates (direct entry guys) deviate greatly from expected level of performance. It's actually easy to acertain this, because they thread behind everyone on the results sheet, having different matric numbers from other students. So one can easily check from the matric number one year lesser than his, to the last person on the list. That gives you the statistics of the DE geeks. The direct entry guys are mostly graduates the majored in one of the 3 BMS courses. But it's shockingly amazing, that when the in courses or even the main exams results are released, they end up performing poorly, even in the courses they majored. The reason for this, is yet to be ascertained and I think it's an interesting area of research. But what i just told you is no gossip neither an assumption, and it's currently happening in many schools including my school. But remember, i used the word"mostly"meaning that there few exceptions. But from records available to me, I'm yet to see or hear about any DE guy gunning a distinction even in the course he majored. Good morning and have a nice day. 1 Like |

charleymed:it only applies to DE students that entered with a 1st degree n not those that entered with A'level and its equivalent |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by jemmiee(f): 10:29am On May 21, 2016 |
charleymed:. wow wow thanks. That's very interesting ai must say, well, I'm very much interested in research using questionnaires, ai will look into this issue, because it have been a thing of concern to me. Though the reverse is the case in Unical medical school. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by charleymed(m): 10:39am On May 21, 2016 |
jemmiee:Nice. I wish you good luck on that. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by charleymed(m): 10:48am On May 21, 2016 |
davbravo:I cannot really say, because there is no easier way to differentiate the two groups, unless if you know them individually and you follow their academic performances. But speaking from experience, i noticed that the A levels guys do better, I know some of them personally. But I don't believe this subject of discourse has anything to do with IQ, but i think there are factors militating against the performances of the the degree holders. These include:Age, level of distractions (some are married while others are independent) and the ' I have done it before syndrome' etc. |

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Millex(m): 11:54am On May 21, 2016 |
Oyah unna well-done finished cutting person heart. Nothing dey happen God dey sha cause my own case will be different. On the issue of 1st degree DE doing badly as correctly said, the problem is usually distractions. Then again, the work one puts into his/her studies is what masters, it's better to go in with the mindset of "I know nothing", and put in effort to knowing. Studying, asking for explanations when stuck, etc. Not like it's easy but it's doable, it's all personal choice 1 Like 1 Share |

Millex:exactly. The "I know nothing" attitude is the best way to go. |
Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by dearpiriye: 4:46pm On May 21, 2016 |
jemmiee:good for you. But also remember that mb doesn't end in anatomy. You have physiology and biochemistry to contend with. And I don't understand what you mean by part 2 mb. Do you mean the exam after 400l? Cos I'm sure by that time you won't be bothered with anatomy and co. The fact is as millex said "I know nothing". |
