1. semester 1 you'll be doing anatomy and physiology
semester 2 will be microbiology, immunology, pathology and parasitology

oh yea, there's also behavioral science and community medicine

2. hehe..new students are always super enthusiastic even before entering imu
but the most important thing you have to do now is enjoy your remaining months of freedom
you can read marieb if you like, but take it as leisure reading, there's not much in terms of prior knowledge that you should know. Everything will be covered in lectures anyway. No point stressing yourself even before you start the course.
Name of bones and muscles is not needed at this stage, you'll learn a few in semester 1, but the major bulk of it will only be covered in semester 5's musculoskeletal system.

3. semester break is in jan. you can download the academic calendar here. http://www.imu.edu.my/current-academic.html


So chill! Find yourself a good accommodation and make some friends in the meantime. Malaysians are very friendly once you have friends here, getting accustomed to the environment is not hard.

And the manic depression phase can definitely wait til you had your first end of semester exam

yea, call them up and keep enquiring

Community Orientated Project.

It's a group project, something like community service, just that you have to do something health-related.
Eg give a health talk in a school, teach kindergarten kids about hygiene, visit a Down syndrome centre......something simple will do actually.
Three weeks is given but you'll probably finish it in a day or two.
The report you have to write after that is a nuisance though
But there's a 3% weightage allocated in your end of semester grade, so yea, might as well do a proper job out of it.

Say you haven't received any word from imu yet.

I had a friend who didn't receive an offer. She called and enquired many times and they say she was on the waiting list. Eventually she got an offer.

Sem 2 going on sem 3.
That is if i pass my eos

yikes
how's the format of exam in sem4 like?

Because there's just no past year papers in the first place?
Although there are mock papers available..but after doing it and then going for the exam, I don't feel like the mock paper really helped that much

3 OSPE only?

And how is MEQ and EMQ like? Is it tough?

Hmmm..then i guess you gotta wait then >.<
Try calling them again after 15th june.

Added on May 18, 2009, 2:56 pmOSPE = objective structured practical examination
EMQ = extended matching question
MEQ = modified essay question
OBA = one best answer

wasn't intentionally trying to make you feel dumb, my questions were directed at chika.

hehe, guess all you want

sem 1 is just too much info to digest..especially before exam. if you start early you'll forget by the exam time, if you start late you can't finish studying

urgh yea friday
don't wanna go to imu to pick up my results, but i happen to have to go back for something

I passed too..lol C+
the result of laziness and procrastination and last minute studying-.-
but yea, on to second year!
