Like another review said below some of the lecturers are not great. There is also minimal guidance for the assessments and if your group members are not great for the group assignment it really does impact your grade. I did not enjoy this subject compared to other subjects I have taken at uni.

A good core biomed subject that requires a high standard of work from students in both assignments and exam answers (short answer questions). Thought most of the lecturers taught well and the coordinators are really supportive (Keit and Jess). The subject does require you to have a good level of depth in understanding so make sure you understand the "molecule to malady" story well for each of the diseases. Learning about disease in a holistic way from molecular defects to clinical and future solutions was quite interesting.

Not bad, some of the lecturers are literally the worst teachers. I have never had worse lectures in my life, but at the same time some of them are really good :/

My favourite subject at university so far. Jess, the subject coordinator, is incredibly supportive and is a lovely person. Subject is also very organised and I found all that all the disease modules we covered were all equally fascinating. Quite heavy in terms of immunology content (since immunity is basically involved in most human diseases), which can be good or bad depending on how you feel about immunology. Patient interviews were the highlight of this subject for me and I really enjoyed how they introduced the 'human' element behind all the diseases we covered. Feedback quizzes for each module and little 'tutorial'/workshop sessions interspersed throughout the subject were helpful in consolidating content. All in all a very interesting and well-coordinated subject.

catchy name, where you learn a few diseases in depth. I liked some modules over the others. Really depends on the lectuere/guest speakers you get

One of the best core subjects! Highly coordinated, organised, and structured. Content delivered by topic-specific expert lecturers/professionals. The subject, incorporated patient interviews, which provided with a more integrative and holistic learning experience. The assessments were also quite fair!

Worst subject ever. Everything in class is focusing on what the MD pursusing people want to know, and no emphasis on the basics. I doubt anyone who wants to do research would enjoy this subject. Also the coordinator is always showing off on how she gets more out of the lecture than the students do. WTF.

This is definitely the best core subject I have done. The modules are incredibly interesting and taught very well, the course is organised well and structured clearly. The assessments were fair and you were able to score well if you put the effort in.

By far the best core subject I have done. The modules itself were so interesting and were taught by lecturers who were incredibly passionate about their fields. The content in the modules was taught holistically so everything pieced together nicely. If you attend all lectures and take an interest in the content, the assessments are not that hard at all.

Probably the best core subject i have done. Helen had put a lot of time and effort to make the assessments fair and for everyone to perform well. Lecturers were experts in their field and really knew what they were talking about.
