Title: Exploring Human Disease - Science Insight?
Post by: Peedles on July 08, 2011, 02:26:03 pm
As of yet there are no reviews on this subject. Can anyone shed some insight on 2nd Year Pathology Subjects (If you have had experience with it yourself or knows anyone who has?)  Easy? Hard? Interesting?

Thanks~

I haven't done that subject, but my thoughts on 2nd year pathology are: initially interesting but gets dry rather quickly. A lot of memory work, especially with wound repair/regeneration. Margaret Ayers is known for her bipolar MCQs

What do you mean by bipolar MCQ's? If bipolar = extremely difficult; maybe I should consider doing the other biochemistry subject xD

They're either really easy or really hard, with not a lot of middle ground

If there are any bipolar questions this semester, it won't be from her.

Hello Jason,

I am not the co-ordinator of PATH20001 EXPLORING HUMAN DISEASE for next semester as I am retiring from the University at the end of June.

Could you please send your question to Dr. Vicki Lawson, who is taking over as co-ordinator of this subject.

Best wishes,
Margaret.

I'm doing the subject too, so lets hope it's interesting!

That's a surprise, she's not young but I didn't think she'd be planning retirement any time soon. It's a shame actually, she was a lovely person and an amusing lecturer. Good luck with path, I hope you overcome my problems with it :P
