OK GUYS

LOOKS like major confusion going on.
After today's chap. of Biostats. we still have a longer Chap.2 of EPIDEmology which we have for tomorrow and day after.
THURSDAY is a break .....FRIDAY I'll post the Pharm required to be done and whatever else. Please don't get confused we are still at B.Sc.coolcoolshaking headshaking headnodnod

Mytime, good to know that I am being missed here and my feeling are not one sidedsmiling face

So .... it is Pharmacology next. cool

Focus , I am glad that you decided to do pharmacology with us. You do not have to leave your group for that.They also need you. As this is your 2nd read ,so I guess you can manage more than one subject at a time and can do Pharmac with us and another subject with the other group. Just a suggestion nod

Target and Zenith, nice to hear from you and hope you guys will catch up soon.

I just gave a read to stats and it is ALL GREEK to me shockedshaking head
I am going to listen to the lecture now . I doubt very much if it will be of any help.rolling eyes

1:C
2:B
3:B

Hi my dear friends, This is cool

Match each description with the type of reinforcement
it describes.

(A) Continuous
(B) Fixed ratio
(C) Fixed interval
(D) Variable ratio
(E) Variable interval

1. A patient needs to reach a very busy doctor, but
keeps getting a busy signal. The only way she is going
to get through is if she manages to call when the
doctor is between conversations. She begins dialing
the doctor's office very frequently.


2. A medical student who has a failing average in
one of his courses studies harder as the final approaches
to avoid failing the course.


3. A medical student allows himself a candy bar
after each set of 50 pages of a physiology text he reads.


4. An office worker patronizes a vending machine
that is in good working order.

5.A gambler continues to play the same slot ma-

Hi Mytime and other friends

Thankyou for chosing to do pharma next. It seems that you plan to start off with pharma from Friday. I haven't done beh sc and have been stuck with some other problems including registration. Anyone else is planning to register? I will try to do Beh Sc along with Pharma as best as I can. My neuroanatomy is still remaining. It would be better that you could give us the target a few days earlier coz of job constraints I have to schedule things. Thankyou for taking over the charge and guiding us to finish our course in a better way.

GL to all...

  #1140

i had to post this. Copied from Jaide's diary.

[quote=jaide]Outside my window, a new day I see,
And only I can determine
What kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
Or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.
My own state of mind is the determining key,
For I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
Or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may not understand
Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself,
And believe what I say
And I personally intend to make the most of each day.

Answers,

you are doing fine.

1 Because the patient can only get through to the doctor if she finds a gap between the doctor's conversations, she begins dialing the doctor's office very frequently.
This is an example of variable interval reinforcement
[i.e., her reward or reinforcement (getting through) will occur at unpredictable time intervals].

2. Studying harder as the final approaches is an exam- ple of fixed interval reinforcement (i.e., the student's studying behavior increases in a set time interval to
avoid failing the course).

3. A medical student who allows himself a candy bar after every 50 pages of a physiology text is practicing fixed ratio reinforcement. He receives his reward
(candy) after a set number of responses (reading 50 pages).

4. The office worker who patronizes a vending machine in good working order is receiving continuous reinforcement because a reward (candy) will be obtained after every response (putting in money).

5. A gambler in Atlantic City will receive reinforcement on a variable ratio schedule, because an unpredictable number of responses (pulling the handle) will produce a reward (the payoff).

6. As in the first example, catching fish is an example of variable interval reinforcement because the reward (a fish) will occur at unpredictable time intervals.

Hi Guys
Good plan Mytime. So we start on Monday, thats cool.

My Patho is taking a lot of time. Just started with special & i am at GI (after skipping Haematology by the waysticking out tongue) I listen to Goljan & then cram up.Although Goljan is an Amazing teacher & makes it a whole lot easier but it still took me some time to complete general.Maybe because i did Neoplasia etc from the big Robbins.

Unique, i know the last time i checked you were on Haematology. Where are you now buddy? r u doing questions too?

Mytime......thanks for volunteering to keep a check on my patho & questions. I know this might be scary, but Unique your patho will always be at the back of my mind & i will never forget to check itwinkgrin

Proctalgia & OKOTB.....when are u guys registering for?

Rest......TC & GL







  #1148

Hey focus,
I just posted a message for you in the other thread.You can post your reply in any of the threadsgrinwink
Pathology is taking much more time than I expected. As you know I am reading after a gap of many years , so I have to look into Robbins very frequently. Goljan is wonderful but you should know your pathology and all other subjects before listening to him or cramming his notes grin.
I am not cramming and neither doing qs. except for the qs in Goljan's end of the chapter ones. I am only trying to understand the material and leaving the rest for my 2nd read.
Like most of us I can also study only half day . Pathology is such a lengthy and time consuming subject ....and now Pharmc with it.....it seems impossible right now sad but hay,we are preparing for MLE out of our own choice ......arn't we???? So let us enjoy this journey and especially now , when no one of us is alone. We are together in this journey and each one of us has some promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep.smiling facesmiling face

  #1150

Hey mytime,
Will you be starting patho from the general or would like to join focus and me in special.I would love to have you with us.nod
