Agree with the previous review, Paul is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this field. He also is very responsive over email, and always willing to clarify any concepts you might struggled with. There is also a decent flow and structure to the content to this unit that makes it easier to chunk info together when you revise. It is a pretty manageable unit especially if you've done SSEH2260, and has a teeny bit of overlap with PHYL2002. This unit requires comprehension of key concepts and using concept maps and flow charts help a lot. One downside of this unit is the lack of notes on the slides, and you have to attempt to spell the name of the protein/enzyme/process from hearing Paul speak. Apart from that a genuinely decent unit, especially if you wanna see if you like biochem or not but not have to do the actual core units

This is an excellent unit and I'm very glad that I did it as an elective. The unit coordinator is very kind, knowledgeable, and a fair marker. He's very passionate about the unit and his enthusiasm motivates you to watch the lectures. The unit consists of ~36 hours of lectures, 8 small weekly assignments, 1 major assignment (15%), a mid-semester exam (20%), and a final exam (50%). The exams are quite fair, but you need to study hard for them because everything is written response. I found the final exam quite rewarding, as some of the questions were decently challenging and I felt that the time I spent studying was actually worth it. I would highly recommend this unit as an elective, especially if you have a background in sport science or any molecular science. There are no prerequisites for this unit, but I would probably recommend doing units such as SSEH2260 or SCIE1106 before enrolling in this one.

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!
