Course summary

Mixed

This course is generally considered easy with low workload for medical students, featuring short essays and group projects. It's recommended for those who prefer a lighter load but may struggle without basic biology knowledge. The grading can be generous, though unpredictable, and the professor is often engaging.

Grading

Grading is generous and not always predictable; some students find it easy to get an A- or higher.

Workload

The workload is light with just a few short essays, one poster presentation, and reflective essays. Lectures are three hours long but can be boring, though optional attendance helps in reducing the load.

Assessments

Assessments include two reflective essays (500+1000 words each), a group poster presentation, and an individual reflection essay of about 2000 words. There is no final exam.

Teaching

The professor is described as engaging and helpful by some students, but others find the lectures boring. The teaching style can be humorous and interactive with Google Doc discussions.

Tips

Coast through the lectures if you're not interested in them; form a good group for the poster presentation. Use translation software during class if needed due to technical English terms.
