clayton is amazing. the tutorials were great. but the exam was SOOO difficult even though it was only worth 40%. i had accumulated like 45% before the final and only ended up with a 60%. overall great unit except for the exam. no poster assignment now though. CML report assignment carried, that was fun and it was 40% of our grade.

This was a difficult unit overall, but highly interesting. There's a lot of content to learn (typical of pathology) and some concepts were quite new and hard to grasp straight away. Extra reading is almost a requirement for this unit, don't expect to get by on just the lectures alone. Labs were interesting and unique - instructions very given clearly, and you work in groups. Some topics might be a little in the deep end at first (e.g. bioinformatics). Scientific writing assessments were useful. The poster was a fun group project (if you had a group group) and gives you a taste for the research field if you are interested in that. They tell you what won't be assessed in the final exam, which is always good.
