Hi Everyone
having worked with first year students in Hum Bio for a long time now, I can recognise that some of you are feeling a little out of your comfort zone. Keep asking questions in class, and keep up your reading - and re-reading. Sometimes what is confusing the first time around, is clearer when you read it for the 2nd or 3rd time. Make notes or draw diagrams as you go. I find reading the abstract or review of the chapter is a good way of revising.
I noticed in the tute this morning that some of you more experience in this field than others - try and find an experienced person in the group to have a coffee with (you may have to buy the coffee, but it will be worth it) and have a list of questions ready to go through with them.
Sites such as these are a good way of keeping the communication going.
Keep in touch

Lets take the panic out of the Blues!!! For those of you who are worried about the biology subjects please rest assured, it is normal to feel overwhelmed at this stage, particularly if you haven't come in with a background in the field. Cathy has suggested some excellent strategies and this will be followed up by some extra sessions, first one scheduled for 26th March.
