Ok subject, content was interesting, but charles only lectured for a week or so if you got chose this subject because of him from human physio second year so just keep that in mind. I did enjoy the content and its easy to stay on top of assignments (weekly quiz and challenge question). Although, feedback i was given for my challenge questions were not relevant or were incorrect to my answers honestly think i was given marks/feedback meant for someone else. For eg, i was told i was missing a certain point/aspect of an answer in which my actual answer explicitly made this point, but we were told challenge questions would not be revised or remarked so it really brought down my grade since challenges qs are a large part of your overall mark. other than that, the subject was alright probably would only do this subject if its part of your major or closely related, probably not just as an elective

This subject was really interesting! Essentially, each week you get a bunch of lectures followed by a weekly assessment (MCQ and extended response question). These assessments contribute significantly to your final mark so pay attention to these. I found having a study group that walked through these questions each week really useful. Charles (the coordinator) also encourages this! Content covered a wide range of areas (mirrors and extends on PHYS20008) but included topics like ANS regulation, hemorrhage/shock, inflammation, muscle function/synthesis, metabolism (exercise and brain's effect), ENS + gut's endocrine action, and respiration (phases, hypoxemia causes). The exam isn't heavily weighted (yay!) and was pretty fair imho. It involved a number of SAQs which really closely resembled the weekly extended response questions. You can also work with your study group for this (charles approved) which is ace. Overall, really enjoyable and H1 definitely achievable.

Do not get baited by this subject. Charles is the coordinator but only takes 1 week of lectures; some of the lecturers are really dry and some lectures are not well delivered at all. There are generally new lecturers every week, and an MCQ and extended response quiz every week that contributes significantly to your final mark. Some assessment questions are somewhat ambiguous. That being said, you can still do well in this subject (I got a high H1), but it may not be as enjoyable or well-run as 2nd yr Phys. It's not too bad as a major subject, but would think twice about taking it as an elective.

Subject was chill as long as you put time aside to do all the tasks (weekly quizzes and challenge questions). I believe it's essential to have a study group so that you can discuss the topics with peers. Got a high H1 which was nice.

This subject was pretty good and interesting. Each week of content is delivered by a different lecturer in their specialised area, which was great. I thought (for the most part) they were all well-informed and explained the concepts simply. I'd recommend keeping your Human Physiology (PHYS20008) notes close at hand - I was constantly reminding myself of concepts I'd learnt the year before and it was really helpful to refer back and compare notes. When studying, I used LucidChart to make lots of flow charts and diagrams, which I would recommend doing, as you go through the sem. I thought the weightings of different assessment pieces was great! Personally, I hate having EOS exams that are worth over 50% (and the pressure that comes with it), so this subject was fantastic for me. One important thing is to keep on top of the weekly quizzes and challenge questions - added up, the weekly submissions are worth 60% of your final grade so be careful with those. I did well in these weekly submissions (usually 9 or 10/10), which really boosted my overall grade (I got a H1). The challenge questions are also a really great way for studying for the EOS exam, which is also short-answer. If you do badly in the weekly submissions, make sure to read the weekly class feedback the coordinator posts, as this helps.
