around 6 hours of content every week. Pretty overwhelming subject but professor Angelina Fong is very friendly and great at explaining. Online module quality is pretty bad, with strong accents and poor sound quality. This subject expects you to memorise way too much but I am giving 3 stars because only having to memorise 4 weeks of content at a time for each assessment made the workload more tolerable. Avoid this subject if you do not have to do it as part of your major because it is very time consuming

Highly detailed and intellectually stimulating. This subject demands focus but rewards you with a deep understanding of neural circuitry and function. The final exam was extremely dense with the content it covered, but I found the marking fair.

So difficult and dense

Make sure you attend the tutorials if you don't understand! The online modules are not the most thought out, but there is important information here that you will need for future understand of neuroscience.

I LOVED this subject! The coordinators were lovely and the content was super interesting! The assessment (imo) was quite fair and if you put in the work you got a good mark. You can honestly guess what the exam and MST SAQ were going to be if you attended the tutorials (2 per week) and talked with the lecturers after the tutorials. That being said, it is very content heavy so you do need to stay on top of your work, but I found it was quite easy to do so as they had checklists per week and the lectures were delivered well (minus the gut circuitry lectures - but this was only tested with MCQs in the MST). Overall 10/10 Angelina is amazing and this was one of my favourite classes! For reference I passed with a high H1 (95), and put in basic levels of effort with extra studying before MST and exams, but I did attend every tutorial and enjoy the content!

I found this subject to be alright. Definitely content-heavy but do a transcription and you are fine!

Difficult, very poorly-run subject. Online module after online module. Delves really deep into current research, a lot of it is outside textbooks, but a lot of the lecturers (there are quite a few of them) are incredibly dry and some of the topics are hard to wrap your head around. Definitely a tough slog; I think there were 3 MCQ assessments and a short answer component to the exam; MCQ's weren't a cakewalk, but the 'short answer' ended up being 6 questions, 500 words each. The expected duration was 1hr, so we were expected to write 3000 words/hr (although we had a day to do it). Interesting (Song's lectures were very well-delivered) for sure, go for it if you're interested in research in the neuronal field, but otherwise wouldn't really recommend. H1 is achievable if you put in work (I got a low H1), but I really didn't find it that enjoyable.

This subject, was by far my most difficult. It starts off pretty easy, but the depth of content quickly ramps up. I found it quite overwhelming around the W3 mark. If you go to the weekly Q&A sessions, they're really quite useful, as you can directly ask the coordinator and that week's lecturer questions. The discussion board was also very helpful, so I'm appreciative of how active all the lecturers were on the board and how willing other students were to lend a hand. That being said, the enteric nervous system lectures were quite awful - it was honestly a bit of a mess of content and the lecturer wasn't very helpful in explaining concepts, even in the Q&A, so it was difficult getting an understanding of what was actually important. This lecturer delivered about 2-3 weeks of content, which was heavy in the MST, but I think I can speak for my cohort (at least), that it was also the worst delivered content. I found the first MST to be really quite difficult, and I did improve in the second MST (as I knew what to expect more), but it is incredibly challenging. I'm not sure what was going on in the EOS exam, but I found it really quite difficult? The SAQ was designed to be completed in 2 hours (or less), and I spent at least 8 hours on it. I also felt that the weighting in the EOS was really quite badly considered and poorly allocated for the SAQ. It's really quite difficult to work out how best to answer a question for full marks, particularly with the depth of information overloaded on you throughout the semester. I'm not gonna lie, I did not enjoy this subject. Sometimes, when cutting edge research was given as examples, I found this particularly interesting, but for the most part it was a struggle.
