Though I didn't find it as fun as ANHB1101, it is still a great unit! 40% is easy to obtain, the last 60% is the final exam which is structured fairly. If you put in the work and study (not ridiculous amounts) then you stand a good chance of getting a Distinction or higher. The labs and lectures are very informative, and the lecturers and tutors are amazing.

Amazing unit. Unit coordinators have set the unit up in a way that is very informative and makes it very easy to study on the go. If you are on top of your work then you will easily be on 40% coming up to the 60% final exam because all of the quizzes and pre-labs can be done as many times as required and only require above 90% for full marks. Exam preparation is also much easier as there are many more past exam papers available on onesearch than for any of the other units that i have done. Very enjoyable unit and i feel like i learnt a huge amount of information.

A lot of content but far more interesting content than covered in ANHB1101. If you've done ATAR Human Bio as well as ANHB1101 (and sport science experience could also be helpful!) the workload is a lot less and can easily do well in with a bit less work throughout the semester. Unit coordinators Vanessa and Fiona are great (hope to get one of them as your tutor!), very friendly and approachable and tried to make the unit very fun. You can also easily find heaps of practice exams for it (very similar to the final one)

Workload: 3/5 Exam workload: 1/5 CA:5/5 Overall assessment:3/5 Continuous Assessment: 8 pre-labs (1.5% each) and 12 tests (1.5% each) Attendance: 10% Do all the assignments, pre-lab quiz (hit 90% and above,open-book) and attend labs for free 40% Exams: 20% MCQ (40). 40% structured (80) (120 marks) Surely there's a give and take? The exams were seriously hardcore. MCQ questions involved a lot of thinking as compared to traditional memory work that is in the online quizzes. They were probably <15 free questions and the rest either had two very similar options or just out-of-lecture/quiz material which comes from textbook,etc. Structured. 8 parts of 10 marks,with 3 parts being fairly do-able if you are decent at genetics. The other parts were probably a roller-coaster of emotions. One part had a huge essay style question on Urinary System for 10 marks and another one had a 5 marks part on the sensory part of the nervous system. Apart from the 3 questions, the other 5 questions were a mixture of moderate-very high level difficulty with it's explanation questions. General atmosphere of exams: Guy behind me,left 20 mins early and girl in front of me,left 15 mins early,no idea how they are able to complete the exam so quickly. After the exam, a group of girls were remarking about deciding to take up another major instead of anatomy. Pretty disappointing unit pre-,during and post-exam. Pre-exam requires immense prep and it's virtually impossible to have time for textbook reading. During exam,you realise a lot of concepts are unfamiliar probably because it's textbook material. After exam,you are left thinking about how hard the exam was and will be bothered by it,which could affect the next paper. I think this unit is a good prep for pre-med and those who want to have a feel of the difficulty of anhb in uwa, but I would gladly encourage other majors to stay clear as this unit drains your time for other exams and you might not even perform well because of the finals. Do ANHB1101 and SCIE1106 instead

Hear me out, this unit can appear very full on content wise (especially for a first year unit) but it honest to god is so manageable if you stay on top of lectures, prep a little for the tutes and what ever you do always try and get full marks for the online quizzes and pre-labs because it really adds up in the end!

This unit is amazing if you're interesting in pursuing a medical degree. it gives you all the basic knowledge about each system and some of the labs are very fun. It is a quite heavy unit with a lot to learn though. some labs are very dry and only involve pictures and the nervous system module was horrible tbh i don't remember a single thing from it. If you did hbio in highschool and like human body stuff, you'll love it, otherwise don't do it.

just don't do this if its not a compulsory unit for your major- very content heavy, time consuming, hard to understand some of the lectures/vague esp the evolution sections.

Biggest waste of money ever. Many of my friends majoring in Human Biology changed because of this unit. you learn an unrealistic amount of content that you are required to remember for the exam. What makes it worse is that the exam does not accurately represent the content you learn in the lectures etc.

Interesting unfair and not helpful for the exam

Loved this unit! Very fun and learnt so much :)
