It was quite easy, IMO, though I spent about 5 minutes trying to remember how to spell Pikuach Nefesh.

... I don't think I've spelt it right here, either. Could someone correct me?

So what did everyone else think?

I didn't exactly do much study, apart from Christian Bioethics & The Hajj (Islam)
and... 20 marker on Bioethics, 15 marker on The Hajj/a little of Islamic Bioethics which I remembered anyway.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I totally forgot about studying Christian environmental ethics, so I brought my laptop which had all my notes and stuff on it to study before the exam. Needless to say, that saved me from screwing over.

Multiple choice was pretty easy, and for section 2 i think i did OK (did Christianity) and my section 3 essay (on Jewish marriage) was pretty dodgy, just wrote what i could remember lol.

Lol, I think I started talking in circles for the environmental ethics question for Christianity.

Otherwise that paper was pretty decent. =)

I really appreciate the fact that my laptop is light enough to take to school.

haha its not too far from ur place to ur school though anyway.. like a 2-5 minute (depending on how ant-slow you walk lol) walk to the station and the train and another one minute walk...
so even if it WERE a little heavier it wouldnt kill you
oh those were the days.. that school is SO much closer than bethany

seriously, restrict your lesbian love to the private message function

on the paper, it was super easy. the jewish/christianity combination was superb, you didnt even have to know half of the theory as the questions were so narrow. i didnt know anything on worship for either religion and it didnt matter.

great paper, super unfair for people who did other religions

Was alright, i had chemistry today as well so i sorta gave up abit of RE for it. (think i did pretty average in both).

I did the christian religious tradition for the short answers, and the islamic religious tradtion for the extended response (did it on al ghazali).

Nothing suprising.

Ohh That was so lucky if I'd gotten any question other than bioethics I swear to god I would have failed.
Didn't know much on the hajj/sexy ethics but enough for the 15 marker
V happy with this exam
