Hello,
Does anybody know what type of questions are being asked in Biology & Physics in interview for DOTE??
Thanks.
510 points Hello,
Does anybody know what type of questions are being asked in Biology & Physics in interview for DOTE??
Thanks.
Well, the staff at those two depts (bio and cell) probably never think that they are intentionally causing problems, they see it as learning students discipline, their methods can be argued, but I personally dont think their problems are worse than other dept at DOTE.
The real problem is that they have two student advisors who are really unmotivated and unwilling to help, specially Panyi. I always saw Vereb as someone who was borderline manodepresive, if you wanted something from him you needed to catch him at the right moment.
I can somewhat understand their point of view, they probably feelt that they where way to high in the hireacy to be meddling with the problems of the 1st year students, and the bio/cell dept is kinda a gateway at DOTE, it kinda teaches students how things are done at the schools, so the student advisors gets alot of crap from shocked 1st year students
I have no news about the patho dept, Tiza might know something.
Dr. panyi is out for 2 years at Penn doing research in the US. The above post on Verab is correct. he's moody and a condescending SOB if you don't know the answer. he's smart, but also can be a pain. Know G-proteins and cell signaling and he'll like you a lot better. Try to get as many bonus points you can in bio phyics. it can save you during the finals! GL
I guess you guys are right, I mean bonus points can only help you to pass or to get a higher mark. So selfcontrols are helpful, Panyi in the US? He was a punk at times, he did show attitude, and failed students that he didnt like - ESP if you are male and wear an earing, or chain or something like this, anything that makes you stand out, and then he will target you and take you out, notably on the practical examinations. Just keep to yourself, have a few friends that you can trust, that place is BRUTAL in the first two years - AND FOR GOD SAKES STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO ANNOY YOU OR NAG YOU JUST DO NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEM - my greatest mistake, being nice to idiots that meant nothing at all whatsoever to me - no problems with that now, as I will hopefully never ever see them ever again, everyone wants to be at the top, and only a few make it, maybe 30 to 40 beyond second year, and there were so many idiots in my year initially that you had to be reasonably smart and then could advance to the next year - not saying that the people that did advance to the next years were not smart, matter of fact the majority they were smart and extremely motivated - very few advanced due to default, just the system accidentally lets them just advance, well when there were 120 or so students, you could just hide behind an idiot, pick one there were almost one hundred - we had about 30 students to 40 advance to third year, well its surely not like that anymore, there are so many smart people who are extremely motivated and cutthroat some of them are, so you have to be extremely smart from day one second number one, one slip up and you will be a repeater - and that includes not only wanting to do well, but making the effort to obtain the proper study materials, once you are out of second and third year you are basically an MD. I am actually glad that I did not begin with the years that are starting now, because I was one of the laziest bums in the first year!
good luck.

Panyi was born to be a jerk, during my time there he was the only one I had open confrontations with...and after a few disputes he was always helpful, the diffrence between him and Vereb is that Vereb might get all heated up over something pointless, but he knows how far he can go, while Panyi lets the little power he has get to his head.
I agree completly with you in your last post whattupdog, its excellent advice. Anyone going to DOTE needs a few close friends, and just let the others do their own thing, if you dont watch out someone will burn u.
Because that place is really a joke, and it all comes down to ur "luck" seen people study their *** of an fail...and seen people who "studied" a few exams and sat in their cheating think-tank groups and passed.
