BIOL10002 Failed transcript

Ross and your latest. Now on your tutorial time they'll also be illegal number which is it class time could shoot Orioles and that will tell you by looking at the LMAs timetable what time your tutus and wave your tutus. Therefore different tutorial rooms in biology precincts and you need to know to which room to go. So I went to class number is really important for both the practice and the choose and eats on the time table if you've downloaded from unique my email. I just didn't need to mention a salesman in I know it's early in the semester but it's a requirement that we talk to you about assessment very early so you were away. The examination at the end of the semester is where sixty percent and it's a three hour exam and what it means is that there's forty percent of ongoing assessment. Now an absolutely critical part of the program is the practical and that's worth twenty five percent and you cannot possibly subject unless you pass the practical. Now the introductory practice waiters and also assist in that class loose weight but the content will be assessed in crack one's assessment so make sure you take no it's an incomplete that products are only. You also have to attend a eighteen percent of the products which means that you can only afford to miss one now obviously you know people get sick or something happens in the family if you don't miss a crack and you have a good reason to me seeing the crack you can apply for consideration and we will average of mosques. We have an assignment I'm not going to go into these at Daytona now but it's worth five percent we have a mid semester taste in week six it's online where thought the same and then we have these independent learning tasks which with five to seven as well and you'll find information about these on the elements all come back to them in a second. So because the practice so crazy cool I'm going to just talk about how it's the safest and when you go to your mate and great shoot this weight on your children will go into more detail about other aspects of the subject. So the practical is the safest in three different ways. Before you entered the product you need to have completed a pretty practiced. And this is an online multiple choice taste ten questions and you need your workbook with that crack open and you should have read through it before you do the pretty practice. What we're doing is ensuring that you come to a crack prepared their only two hours long and they require you to be very well organized. Along with that pre practice we have what we call take tips. And please our little videos of the technique that you're going to use in not practical class. So you need to watch that as well so they might be a tape tape on when you dissect the mouse laser there's one on how to make a a slide a particular type foods slide pulled away mount and so on and so these tech tips are very important as part of your preparation. Side this is a pretty project I need to school I nine or ten will give you one of the ten knots toward shipwreck if you get less the night you don't get that mock. So that means read through the practice of sleep might shul you know what the practice of baton can answer those questions which is directly related to the content of the price. When you get into the practical class you'll have a senior demonstrator and I a PhD student who we've employed casually tools are demonstrating the classes. Now in the class itself you're going to be assessed on something. It might be your slide preparation it might be withdrawing it might be how you've dissected the digestive system of great mouse. It might be hell use may not able to identify structures in the heart off do you dissected and so on. So it is in the house assessment and that accounts for five marks. All of you'll tend not screech crack. The next part is after the prayer one she leads the prayer you have from four o'clock that day until five the next day to complete what we call a post practice. Now dispose practiced is based on what you do in the practical and there are six questions. Two of them are worth two marks because they're applying your knowledge to a new situation. And that gives you about terabyte which we halls. So the post practice is worth four. Now the thing about the post practice use it's password protected. And only those people who are registered for that particular practice can actually get into the post practice. I'm one of the casings you must remind yourself each product you need to get the post cracked password it will be announced from the rostrum and make sure you make a copy of it. And because if you don't get it you won't be able to access the taste. I'm sorry that's the final full not said obtain for Pratt. So in summary about the project won lots of the pre project. So I've not school what you actually do in the practice soul sometimes you'll be asked her hand up the crack reporters well and then full marks for the post practice. Because we have five assays sprite said equals fifty you need to get twenty five out of fifty to be able to pass the practical component. And in the reminder here is that for prek one which is the first of the assessed products. We will be including material that you've covered in the introductory practical and the introductory independent learning tops. Now I've been a mildly knew about the introductory learning task while I'll to independent learning tasks on the microscope in biological drawing we've expected that you've done that before you come to the intro practice later it's online and has a taste to see if you've understood the content and so on. Okay so the other assessment will talk about as it becomes timely but you can see that you can approve forty percent before you even sit the exam the absolutely critical part is the practical pot and you have to pass that to pass the subject as obsolete. Okay so I will leave that item as enough information I don't want to spoil jets lecture I just want to remind you that Labor Day is not a university holiday and we run full arms skyl classes the lecture and so on so if you have a choose on Monday it will be on. The army people and I know there are about fifty percent of you that are sitting here and you haven't done basically biology or an equivalent we've got so much support out there for you arm on the Alamo she'll say biology for newbies and that consists of four modules that you can work through prior to the lectures and then when you attend Jeff's first nine lectures you've got a nice background to it roughly equivalent to what someone would have covered in year twelve. We've also got client by sweet Josh short videos and three miles the newbies refers to those they pre lecture videos you can watch you don't have to be a person with that basically anybody can use is support material obviously. We have to do so on duty and there's a time table on the elements when they're available you just go to level four and you can get help at any time. And then as I said we've got take tips. Which are little videos to help you in preparation for the practical. I Kate now just one word if you are ill or days Spain a family event that's precluded you from and you know coming to the correct. You can apply for a temporary project change where running five practice awake and so if you're in a Tuesday product and you're liable to come to a Thursday practice into a template crack change the forms on the elements. If that's not a possible you can apply for consideration but whenever you apply for consideration you must have supporting documentation medical city if you cut. Maybe explain a family day as you noted the death notice from the pipe or something like that awful you know some supporting information that is the application forms also on the elements. And this is just showing you the site where it is there's the temperate practice range update you click on that link and there's the biology consideration form you can click on that I hope none of you are ill during the semester about of course things happen unexpectedly. And as I've mentioned here this. Presentations already ok on they are elements if you wander bravery to. United supporting documentation. I tell you guys so it's up to me to just now I wish you all the best in biology I hope you really enjoy the subject we've got a fabulous group of stop and one of the best to stop the lectures this professor Jeff McFadden who's internationally known for his work on malaria and I'm not going to spoil Jeff selected by taking any more time so I headed to jail if good luck everybody and enjoyed biology thank dnmt. Yeah. I. But thanks very much don. Does the coordinator so I'm. She can handle any issues you have a queries and things during the year but as she said if it's a question about content. Is this place is to grab electronic to lecture all go to one of the two days on duty or save it up for your tutorial I'm I have lectures immediately after this fought Poznan so I'm going to hang around answer questions for a long time but you can walk with me to the lecture if you're really interested you can cite that like to take. I'm. A couple of things are you text book this is it here in life I'm it's available for the cop shop on the corner of the house once in a Grattan I highly recommend you get yourself a copy the text book I think could be pretty good investment after trying to obtain a good mark you're also going to Nate this practical and this you can also get from the carpet I forget. About twenty. Thing dollars annual needs logicalis lips and other materials and bring a mock opinion pencils and things like that. The while I reckon you can do best in this course is on I'll give you pretty lecture rating in the other Electress will to bring it before the lecture place. We try to give you the minimum for the lecture but sometimes it ends up being virtually a whole chapter subtle type here in our side rating. I also give a glossary words and they said the words I'm going to use in the lecture and if you could have a look at those beforehand and so to figure out what you think that motte Maine and I get a bit of a definition happening that'll help you a lot. I give you know it's on the elements so there's a pinouts of the slides all use and be nice if you printed them out and you can scribble on it and you don't have to write down the things that are on the night you can concentrate on what I'm trying to psych synopsis scrambling for dates house trying to get it out of you and constant. I really good way to do it would be to review your notes in the evenings on H. not if you can and look at the summaries and the textbook after every lecture. If you do this you'll be on the way to getting a really good gripe better than trying to do it in swat that quake and cram school of those lectures. And try not to write everything down that I'm saying I think if you're better off to listen get the concept review it lighter it'll fit into pre lecturing in the glossary words and things like that. So they said the prey like to ratings from the tenth edition which is the most recent and so I'd expect you to familiarize yourself with the oldest material on before the first non lectures and I've put here different slides for all of the different editions so if you happen to get a second hand one from somebody that's perfectly fine and you can find these pipes is there Sir of going right back out to the fifth edition if you can find a fourth or third or second or even a first edition then you can either sell it online myself fortune or you can come to me and I'll find out the pages that we need for that. So it's it's like you all have some glossary words in this is tonight's glossary words so have a look at the day's before you come from lecture anything I mean nothing to you then do something about that look up what those words mean I'm a best way to do that is that is actually I'll be seen indexing the textbook and you find that word and say where there might be some sort of definition I think a really handy thing even if you did biology invasively is to have a dictionary of pathology they've got days at the co op they're actually just a little Piper back and that got every turn to falling if you learned allies terms you have a pretty good shot at getting I lace and I in the exam that's a very handy thing when you're a bit confused about words that sound a sign you are looking. Sherri. So will go through a bunch of these things that I and will familiarize you with the. So I'm gonna do a couple things in today's lecture it's basically introductory but we will actually start a dog in the date and with some bacteria at the end of the lecture I don't want to sort of visit some concepts of Hawaii here. So why are you here I reckon I know one most of you are here. I was going to medicine. Quite a few. I really don't think about it those I think nearly five hundred over this year and is about offered him any place in medicine a hundred and something Akai so you need to have a slightly planned day on but this industry and Betsy Johnson nursing and physiotherapy is also other options like going to research going into industry going into government as trying Saunders but we'll come back to that in a minute on how many of you did base in. They say biology. And how many didn't. I kind. So you're inside a two populations are ought is a bunch of you proceeding out there did they say biology anything houses a Sime suffocating you twelve it's really you know ok Skype through this. Don't be fooled we do it in considerably more debt than you did in bay toward Anya twelve even if you did get a fabulous school for. Those of you who didn't face a bit of a challenge for us say going to become familiar with a new topic and the worst part about that is is a whole new language we have a lot of words on and we have a lot of words that you've never heard of before and we use them and so you going to have to try and deal with that and that's with addiction really really cool and the glossary words. And they don't go through what we call the three foundations of biology we've got three sort of. Please if you like that we stand on that I'm Mike's understand biology evolution I'll unity by chemical process and cell theory and I'll explain what all of these are three things are in a minute and then we're just not into our first group of organisms the prokaryotes. So I study biology. To get into medicine. I'm. In a lot of wise this is the year of biology biology dawn said it's a living science it's also the current songs biology is the one that's really hot I think the chemist had the dies at the end of the nineteenth century are at the end of the story the nineteenth century when I described all the elements and I've done all that. And the physicist had they die when I split the atom and guilt telescopes and found planets and things like that that biology is really about now because it's a science that is just going ahead so fast that it's hard to imagine alright and it's moving I thought the price might slow down but this all new kinds of breakthroughs like that crispy casts Jane editing which I'll tell you about in the course these are amazing developments that are really changing the things that we're doing one of the things that's quite cool is that it's going to exactly the same right as the computer. Trajectory or are we need to shoot computational power to understand the amounts of data that we're generating. Particularly things like Jane I'm data like here the human genome was done back in two thousand and two I think it was and so we've now got the blueprint for a whole human being interestingly we can only read about half of it the rest of it is is essentially a pipe to us we don't know how to interpret that we need a lot of computational power to do all this kind of thing. And we've got technologies now inducing last third decade or two that have really revolutionize the way we think about doing biology we're actually now able to clone organisms on we can clone different kinds of animal sex just Dolly the shape was Klein I'm about fifteen years ago business now myself think that we want to clone human brains obviously we done but we actually have the technology now that we could do that we could climb a person will have the technology that's bringing us within. Imagination of resurrecting extinct animals by cloning tissue from sci Willie mammoth so I'll follow things and stuff like that. Now the topic this really hot at the moment is. Are we the only ones here. Or is there life elsewhere in the universe. Perhaps life elsewhere in our solar system. So there's a lot of work going on on mouse trying to figure out was they lost their is their loss there is obviously water in oss there so it could potentially support life and was sending all of those really clever little I'll vehicles and robots to scratch around and look the law if. But my opinion is somebody's going to have to go there and you're going to be the one who has to go there and signs the shit out of it and figure out if there really is lost. The other technology that we've got this really changing things I don't enormous right is genetic modification we can now China's the blueprint of an organism to have some desirable crap criterion some desirable tripe we can modify organisms to make them more productive more tasty on more drought resistant I grow faster all of those kind of things and they things and now slowly getting lost since then we're using them in aiding them a lot of people are really scared about eating genetically modified organisms and in a sense you all the ambassadors when somebody says exists genetic modification stuff really stifle not you're going to be the one that's educated and try not to sigh show is no real danger soldiers I'll hyperbole or actually maybe it's a little bit you know I'd be a little bit wary about some of these things so you want to get that information so that you got your friends and sigh in an informed why where disease to bite law. We're also in a bit of a flocks as to who owns what. Is a big staff in the courts I'll last year about can you patented Jane in Australia you can tighten Jane's in certain places so I could discover the Jane for cancer of the particular car and I can apply for a patent American owned all of the dog gnostics that agenda right it's a dog knows that person with cancer it's a very commercial approach to that but something is going to pay for all the research we did until the discovery and I. And. We've got lots of interesting things where people actually one on bad things. Okay so when the lights were on in one a bird flu strain was circulating around being the nation's from whence it came wanted the rights to Arnett and why would you want to own a pathogen that could got because a devastating epidemic and kill lots of people around the world because if you're on the pathogen you then on the rights to the vaccine which everyone would access and use to prevent them so this really is also to be intriguing moral ethical and commercial questions are that we need to do to deal with nothing is do indigenous people did die on their own im genes and gene arms and and genetic information. Or does it for the good of all mankind. While it is also being weaponize this is on something to be under the right ok but it's certainly a ball drop when George Bush and Tony Blair and and John Howard decided that would be a good idea to invite Iraq part of the reason was that they thought they had biological weapons that are against the the conventions of rules as it turned out they didn't have much at all but anyway that was history but a lot of things can be weaponized and so things like anthrax is actually relatively easy to weaponize my kid in little granules putting applying and and distributed I've lots papal although get terribly sick and suddenly all of these antibiotics optically see product become very important in our control of these kinds of things. So there's a lot going on in biology and welcome to it. So after a three foundation principles of biology and surely the most important is our granddaddy of biology Charles Darwin. And he got it assists our theory of natural selection and which we can and then interpret evolution. And really if you don't get this junket while Angie and is a famous Russian scientists who said everything in biology only Mike sent through the eyes of evolution and you really do have to understand it to understand biology. So this really a couple of really Cape points in here the first is that all life evolved from pre existing law uncut so life doesn't just. Pop into existence is not a spontaneous generation of life laced in modern times they might that presumably was at some point before like existed in the universe. So everything has to come from pre existing law you kind from your parents taken from their parents on funk soul and we can try several I back to different prime nights I know like back to invertebrates and and and so on. And this also this concept of homology I'll explain what this is in a minute. And this also they sing skull fossils which probably some of them I just found tangible and irrefutable evidence for evolution. So fossils basically are preserved version of some organism that leave the really long time ago and it's preserves typically in rock there otherwise tonight fossil but the most them refund in rocks a kite and you say things like this little Trollope auto the salmon not from Iran about six hundred million years ago you can say much more elaborate animals like this little terrace soul and you can see the wing tips here. They also say obviously other kinds of organisms on this lovely flower that's present here. One of the things that. But people notice early was David down in the soil you gotta the more simple the fossil scare. An interpretation is that that deep rock was lie down a long time ago and the more recent things will lie down the more complex things will lie down more recently on top of them so you get these bags of complexity that reduce as you go deeper down into the earth and back further and further in time and we can now dice allies rocks look at all these organisms and we can construct a scenario where they just got more and more calm
