While the content was interesting, it was extremely content heavy (doing 4x1 hour lectures a week of 40-50 slide powerpoints). Mark Green is a friendly professor and interesting to listen to but did not do well at explaining the basics of concepts and processes, I had to spend a lot of additional time watching YouTube videos to understand a lot of the content. I am not sure about previous years but our exam was an in-person closed book exam, sadly this did not stop them from making it an extremely difficult test (and this is coming from a student with a 79 WAM), multiple people just left early as they were unable to even answer some of the questions. The exam questions do not test theory and concepts of reproductive physiology rather tough application and scenario questions where if you don't know, you just lose all the marks for that question. Really disappointed in this subject, it had the potential to be very informative and interesting but they just made it unnecessarily hard.

This was the best subject I took in my uni education. The content delivered was very interesting and non-repetitive. All lecturers were excellent at explaining concepts and Marks especially was an amazing lecturer and coordinator. This being said, this is a very content heavy subject but the weekly quizzes and interesting content really helps keep you up to date with the content. I highly advice going for lectures as they are so engaging and you feel like you are grasping the concepts better. I would highly recommend this subject to anyone interested in Reproduction and Development.

Hands down the best subject I took in my course. Mark was an amazing lecturer and coordinator. Even though the workload was demanding, the course content was so interesting I didn't even mind. A definite must for students interested in Development/Reproduction

This is a great subject but extremely demanding. I don't regret taking it, but there are definitely moments in the semester (particularly early on) when I did struggle. The best bit of advice I could give is to not give up, keep persevering and give your brain time to adjust to the pace and volume of content. If something doesn't make sense right now, look at it again tomorrow: watch youtube videos, try explain concepts out-loud or read about it. It won't all make sense right away. I found that as the semester went on I adjusted and was able to walk out of lectures feeling like I was grasping concepts better than I was in the beginning. To get the most out of lectures, GO TO THEM! Watching them online is such a chore. I would recommend printing the slides out beforehand and annotating with a pen. The classes really need all of your concentration, and typing mindlessly or having other distractions with my laptop made me lose focus... and that was when I had to go home and rewatch the lecture. The difficulty of this subject is eased with the help of awesome lecturers and a strong narrative flow. Overall, this subject might seem scary in the beginning but at the end you will look back feeling really satisfied with yourself for pushing through, and you'll also know a lot about reproduction. Best of luck.

One of the BEST subjects I’ve ever taken. The lecturer/coordinator Mark is fantastic and super nice and helpful. Although the subject is content heavy, it is very interesting so as long as you keep up to date, you should be fine. It will also very interactive and covers a wide range of topics from male/female reproductive health to diseases, treatment, IVF etc. Will definitely recommend!!

My favourite subject ever. Very content heavy, but the amazing lecturers make up for it.

Very difficult but excellent, dedicated lecturers.
