FANTASTIC unit, absolutely recommend but just make sure you get in quickly because spots are very limited. 60 hours of working in a research lab over 12 weeks (average of 5 hours a week but hours are generally flexible depending on your research team - you could do 10h in one week for example). If you're considering honours, a masters or PhD this unit is a no brainer. Even if you're not doing any of those it's still a no brainer. The unit is an ungraded pass, so there are no lectures or assessments or anything and it won't affect GPA but will still give you 6 credit points. In week 10 you make a 10 minute presentation about your host lab's research and what you got up to. Overall, a super enjoyable unit which YOU should take (YES, YOU) especially if you've got a heavy semester and need a cruisy elective.
