Last Week of School- Cognitive Neuropsychology

Last lesson of cog neuropsychology was a group presentation by Yongqi's group on peripheral agraphias. Poor things.. to have to prepare for an ungraded presentation on the last week of school. As usual, most people in the class was not listening lol. It was difficult to talk in class, so I took out a page of my organizer to write msg & pass to my friends. Jon took my paper & played the complete-the-story game. Each person is supposed to continue a story by contributing a line or two. Jon started with "Once upon a time,", i continued with "there was a little girl called Susan" (our cog neuropsy prof was Dr Susan Rickard Liow haha), and the paper was passed around the class.

It got too long that I had to add an additional page hehe

For those who do not know, Dr Matthew Woo is a part-timer lecturer at NUS who works at IMH.
The storyline ended abruptly due to the end of lesson. Jon took the paper to pass around the advanced abnormal psychology class the next day. I am not sure how the story continued haha

My cog neuropsy exam was semi-open book i.e. we can bring in a two-sided A4 size paper.
This is the front of my cheat sheet... Arial, font size 8.
I nearly died from mugging cog neuropsy because i did not touch the coursepack at all during the term (and hence did badly for my midterm). I realized the midterm is relatively easy if I had studied the coursepack, but it is so thick!!!! Almost the height of my little finger.
Hopefully my exam will pull up my grade
