hi, do you know what the topics where for the 6- 10, so we can read on it on our own?
your notes are a life savers btw!!
Hello! Glad my notes help you!
You should get familiar with the course finder https://aok.pte.hu/en/tantargykereso
Here you can find details on every subject, including the topic lists.
Nikolas
I don’t even study medicine and I still use your notes. Thank you so much man!
Hey Greek! Apparently the physiology department is upset with the # of people that passed last semester and they’re taking their anger out on us. Over 90% of the students that took the exam today failed…
Hey!
Yeah, I already heard about this. I’m sorry you have to deal with that, and I hope you pass next time. Remember to warn potential students at POTE of this.
Hello,
I really appreciate the effort put into providing these notes and for the overall website, you really took your time to provide this to students and that is very kind of you.
I have one quick question, the topics that are not listed (e.g. 6-10 and others) are yet to be uploaded? Or are they not as important as other topics. Thank you for taking time to answer!
Glad you like the notes! The topics missing are topics I haven’t written yet. It’s hard to find time to write physiology topics when it’s not one of the subjects I have, so progress isn’t that fast. I’ll probably continue next semester, and can hopefully finish the physio 1 topics then.
could you provide the remaining exam topics of physiology please?
It’s not like I’ve finished them but just not decided to upload them. I’m still working on it. I uploaded a new topic last week. It takes time.
i understand. sorry if i sounded bossy
I love your notes! You are great! Thank you so much! They have changed the topics a little, so there are some more topics about muscles.
I’m glad you like the notes! Don’t forget that you’re great too.
It sucks to hear that they added more muscle topics; I hate muscle physiology. But thanks for telling me!
I understand that very well. I just wanted you to know <3
