Ask a stupid question...

Well it's almost time for another test in pharmacology. This Thursday will mark our second exam and it is on a myriad of topics including drugs used in : glaucoma, angina, hypertension, congestive heart failure, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gout, local anesthesia and general anesthesia. This one will count for slightly more of our grade than the last one since it covers a lot more material.

As previously reported here however, professors Beedimani(sp?) and Paton are pretty good at explaining concepts and ask pretty succinct questions on their exams. Perhaps the authors of the following questions could have used a bit of advice from our professors to be more specific. Many thanks to John Gilbert for sending me these. They are some of the funniest things I have seen in a while. I admire the students' creativity!








This last one is among my favorites. Imagine the look on McIntosh's* face if he were to grade this gem. I can hear him now (in his wonderful Scottish accent) "MMM....NO!" Those of you who have taken genetics already will remember this concept well- calico kitties are all female.


* Dr. McIntosh is our esteemed professor of genetics here at AUC who has a rather endearing and altogether amusing ability to near emasculate students who let nonsense spew from their mouths. Of this I have first hand knowledge! hehehe
