TSFX lectures question

Hey everyone, hope you all had a wonderful new year celebration!

Regarding my question, I recently booked three lectures at Melbourne University for tsfx. Can someone tell me how much notes they give us for the following subjects: Biology, Specialist and Methods. Also, if you have previously been to these lectures, are they any good in terms of enhancing knowledge of the content and also, would the notes really help, or does it come down to how well you utilise them?

Thank you for your time!

For all there lectures they give you booklets covering all of Unit 3, for further that's only Core.

Spesh is two books the other two I'm unsure.
The notes are a resource/supplement to your study. Just like weights and protein power, you can take the protein powder but without the hard work (study / lifting) they won't take you anywhere.

For Bio, they give you three booklets in total- one per day :)

I'm assuming you also get the same number of booklets for Methods as you would for Spesh.

I went to the bio headstart lectures last year, they were good for exposing you to the unit 3 course for the first time, but you'll unlikely remember everything they said, that you won't hear in class for a while. Their notes are comprehensive (3 booklets like nerdmmb said) with an answer booklet as well. They cover the entire unit 3 course, but are not very succinct and contain some unnecessary information that you don't need to know. Still are valuable though. Also don't make the mistake that I did, by going to the unit 3 revision and headstart lectures (around May) - their the same notes. For unit 4 notes - winter school. They're not essential though, especially for the price.
If you haven't already, I'd listen to Douchy's biology podcasts (just google it), I found them more useful, even more than my teacher. For methods and spesh I don't know - going to methods this year.

Alright thanks for the heads up. What date is your methods one?
