Would not recommend this subject, even though Angelina is a fantastic coordinator some of the lectures can be quite dry. A few of the lecturers were not great, whilst others were fantastic. We received no feedback on any of the assessments (lay assignment and group assignment) before the exam and results for these came out around a week or two after it. They are quite harsh on the layman's assignment, probably because it is relatively easy to score at least 80% or above on many of the weekly quizzes.

This subject was good, albeit kind of boring. The lectures are organised in a way where sometimes the same concept was explored weeks apart eg: heat regulation in week 2 and week 12! Felt like there was too much of a focus on muscles/exercise which bored me. The quizzes were mostly okay and easy-ish to do well on, but the lay assignment and group project seemed to be marked more harshly. Exam seemed okay. imo there were too many assignments and the structure did not allow for any consolidation of knowledge. Getting an H1 shouldn't be too hard though.

Although this subject is relatively easy and you could definitely secure a H1, I wouldn't recommend it. The way the assessments are, you don't really have to learn anything. Watching the lectures once and having your lecture notes with you while doing the weekly quizzes is definitely enough to get a high score for your quizzes. Consequently, this subject made it so I didn't have to learn anything which is a bit of a waste. The content itself is mostly interesting, but at the end, you know a little about everything while not knowing a lot about anything - a gripe I have with the physiology major in general. The group presentation (worth 30%) also wasn't much of a learning aspect. You are given 10 weeks on the group project which culminates as 2 minutes of speaking time in a 10 minute presentation in week 12. The guidance for the group project is also quite minimal, and the demonstrators might not have studied in the field you are presenting on, so their feedback is limited to the structure of your presentation. We received all of our results for this subject basically when it ended, and even only after we had our exam and so you don't really know how you're tracking across the semester. Overall, while a relatively easy subject which you could definitely achieve a H1 in, I wouldn't recommend it.

This subject was fantastic and so well coordinated by Angelina. She's truly so passionate about the subject and was very involved in workshops, making sure we got everything we could out of it. Even though the idea of a final team presentation was very daunting, I was really glad that Angelina and the team were constantly checking in on our zoom group discussions and making themselves available so that we all stayed on track to complete the assignment in time. The coolest part was definitely hearing about space physiology from an interview with an astronaut. I recommend keeping up to date with the content because your weekly quizzes are a great way to grab easy marks. At the end of the day, the group presentation was kind of terrifying but the lecturers asked really fair questions in the Q&A session that were simple to answer if you've thought through your topic well. We were provided with 2 pages of feedback on our presentation, which was super helpful. I recommend meeting with your group members at least twice a week (we usually met on Saturdays and during workshops), to really meet your weekly goals and to hold everybody accountable for their work. The peer review process (mid sem and at the EoS) was also a great way to gage how you performed within your group. If you do well on your weekly quizzes, the EOS exam is simple enough and open book! I ended up achieving an 86 (H1) in this subject, and it was by far my favourite subject this sem.

I LOVED this subject! Angelina, who coordinates this subject, is an absolute gem. Really interesting content which clearly links/flows throughout the semester. Content focuses on how our physiology can adapt to a multitude of challenging situations like stress, exercise, high altitude, diving, and much more. Weekly quizzes are great in keeping you on track and ensuring that you actually understand the material presented. It's also a really nice way of building up your grade throughout the sem, similar to Advanced Human Physiology. The group project was a bit difficult to organize online, at first. Ultimately, it was a quite rewarding experience and lots of feedback is provided to assist in future presentations. My main advice here would be to start early, consistently communicate with your team, and set measurable deadlines to keep on track. Angelina can help you with this if you get stuck. The exam isn't heavily weighted (only 20%, yay!) and focuses on integrating content from throughout the semester in response to a case study. I thought the exam was quite fair this sem. I also found making flow charts and mindmaps to establish links throughout the semester useful for exam prep. A H1 is definitely achievable!
