Loved this unit. The unit co-ordinator is very approachable and friendly, and genuinely wants everyone to do well. Assessments included 8 weekly assignments that were very straightforward, an open book LMS mid-sem, and a final major assignment, which was basically an A2-sized diagram of the first ten weeks. The final exam included lots of similar questions to the mid-sem/weekly assignments, and I felt was very closely correlated to the unit outcomes. If you’re a physiology major (or just doing the PHYL units), I’d highly recommend taking this unit together with PHYL2002 as the two units are very complementary.

Very easy unit. You get the pool of questions the mid sem exam questions are taken from in advance so you can prepare very well. Not hard to get 100%. Most of these questions are also coming from the weekly assignments and then recycled again for the final exam to you will have seen them before and had feedback so very straightforward. The large assignment integrated questions from the weekly assignments so again, easy 100%. Especially recommended if you've done IMED1003 as the metabolic pathways are about the extent of the unit BUT you dont have to know the pathways to the same level of detail, as the focus is on understanding the concepts, not rote learning.

SSEH3366 was not a very enjoyable unit. The lectures were scattered and were not structured well, assessments were not explained and it was difficult to get a high grade. Lecture summary notes were provided but were very confusing. The unit had no tutorials making it hard to clarify topics. Lecturer is difficult to understand and would seriously not recommend unless you are an expert in Bioenergetics!
