To cut a long story short my school is in special measures and is shite. The biology teachers go off sick for fun and one of my bio teachers is off now and prob wont come back. The thing is were doing two exams in the summer Mod 5- ecology and another module that theyre undecided on. All the class wants to know the module so we can start to learn it as we are one teacher down. Which in your opinion is the best module to do Behaviour or microbes&disease. ive been told microbes is better. God im rambling i know. The bio teacher who isnt off likes behaviour but everyone wants to do microbes can we enter for the exam WE want to because the teachers will leave everything to the last minute and behaviour is a big module. im literally a few mins away ordering the microbes book off the internet so i can start in this holl. ITS INFURIATING!!!!!!!! any opinions lol thanks

I'm doing spec B biology and we're doing the microbes modules. It seems ok so far, if you had a good text book you could probably learn it yourselves ok. Good luck!

We're doing microbes but we didn't have a choice. I'm finding it really interesting. We've done loads of practical recently but you'd be able to read up on that, just might not remember it as well (if you're anything like me!), if it wan't possible to do it at school.

Good luck! Biology's hard enough let alone without a teacher (sorry that wasn't very encouraging).

aye, its tuff.

i wuz in the same position about six weeks afore the exam, and it wuz very very tuff to mek up ground, macca. iad to mek a v. late change to the B syllabus from A too so it really wuz ruff, dont do it!

i wuld urge you to push them for an outcome so you can decide.
