i loved this unit so much!! definitely a lot of content, but thats down to the complexity of immunology as a study. definitely recommend regular revision to ensure the concepts stick. i found the midsems/final exam to be very fair, with questions being quite simple to narrow down to the most appropriate option (if you had the general idea of the concepts). lab exam was dumb, as were the labs - found they didn't work half the time, and the other half was spent standing around waiting for it to not work. lab 2 was probably the best one

Content was really interesting with some overlap of 2nd year microbiology. Lab exam was really badly designed and marked. There's no longer a group assignment and the final exam is now 50%. Also wayyy too many labs throughout the semester. Exams mostly test you based on how much you can memorise which is really unfair.

Anyone taking this unit is (99% surely) doing a major in microbiology and/or pathology so this review won't matter much as you have to take it. As expected from the unit title, the majority of lectures are on the different components and cells of the immune system. The content is very interesting, but the main lecturer (if you've done other microbiology units you may have a certain suspect in mind) is quite dull and often goes overtime. Personally I think they could have made it 3 hours of lectures most weeks instead of 2. Assessments include: final exam worth 60% with majority MQC and a small amount of SAQ, 2 tests that each cover half the unit adding to 35% of your grade and the final 5% is a group assignment where you create a 3-5 minute video on a specific vaccine. The group members and vaccine are randomly allocated unfortunately. I felt the exams and tests were of moderate difficulty, not something a person can not study for and do well at, but not soul destroying either. I did not get to experience most of the labs due to the pandemic, so I cannot say how they are... But in a way the whole pandemic was sort of a lab class for this unit given it's theme.

Content was really really interesting (learning about your own immune system, covering many aspects of it) but you had to know it in detail. I thought that it was organised well, but the only real downside was the amount of content. Really tested my memory capacity. I guess it’s to be expected from a 3rd year unit though. Labs were good too.

HATED THE UNIT. Content heavy, very detailed. And trust me, every single detail is tested, the questions in the tests are extremely detailed. Honestly, I was well on track with the unit, i went to all the lectures (though it was just Allison stuttering), I took notes and revised them. Yet the questions were just SO detailed and had no learning objectives that no matter how hard you study it never could be enough. I feel like the coordinators did the worst job trying to set the unit content and the questions. If you are going to do this unit, brace yourselves guys. Oh and the only fun part of the unit are the lab practicals. Thanks to Calila and her gang of demonstrators. Enjoyed them all.

Content was interesting. Didnt find the assesments fair at times. Very specific, alot of which answer is the most correct type of questions. Didnt find the professors very helpful in this unit. Would recommend it if you have a good foundation in microbiology/immunology. Alot of pathology and physiology is covered in the lectures. This was seldomly examined so was alot of extra work and reading for no reason i found. Focus on all the fine details. As far as the content goes it made it my most enjoyable unit this semester in all honesty.
