BioChem Notes

Hi Ho!

Amir here, I have the BioChem notes on GLycolisis, Lips Metabolism and all the hoohah photocopied. I'll be distributing it on Thursday. Each set of 4 costs 75 cents.

I'm not going to go around collecting coins and filling my wallet with 19 sets of 75 cents. I'd prefer that you guys pay in notes. Each group/clique please have your cash ready.

For those who have signed up for the Leadership Training Camp and are waiting to be chosen, here's the list of items you will need to bring for the Camp. The usual applies for this camp, no valuable items.

1x T-shirt
1x Dark coloured shirt
2x shorts/track pants
Track shoes
Socks
Towel
Toiletries
Sufficient undergarment
Sleeping Bag/ Mat
Torchlight
Nightwear (optional)
Lanyard (Uber important! MUST bring! COMPULSORY!)
Slippers
Water bottle & Isotonic Drink

Okay, that's all.

NEW grading format

Hi all,
Due to change of grading format, I have modified the marking scheme slightly. The 5% peer assessment will be removed and this will be added to the report. Second presentation marking scheme:
- Food and Catalogue presentation 40%
- Report 30%
- Individual assessment 10%

To help me to grade, I need the individual group members to indicate their contribution to the report. Example: If "XXX" has done the tabulation and discussion for Trials #1-3, then "XXX" should sign off at the end of this section.

Thanks!

INFO: Food Exhibition 21 Jan

If any of the students want to do a small poster to put on the bench then kindly do an A3 size one as we have plenty of A3 stencils but not A4 size. Then the length of one bench is about 2m and width 1.3m if u want to buy your own table cloth. Also, remind the class about how they want to contain their samples,. For example, sampilng cups, pudding cups etc and what type and size of utensils like spoons, forks they need. They got to check if the lab has their containers before they go out and buy.

** i haven't find out how big the area for exhibition. i'll check for u guys ASAP.

Class Outing @ Seoul Garden

It was a coincidence that the class outing was the same one as FS0802. what i meant was that it happens to be the same place and the same day... and FS0802 class rep was kind enough to book a place for us at Seoul Garden. Thanx very much.we appreciate it alot.

We met Ms Marlene first as she didn't know where Causeway Point was and a few other students of hers as well as family members tagged along. All in all, we all had lots of fun there. though its just bonding among the students in every booth. not an ideal place for bonding. hehe. let the photos do the talking.
