PATH20001 Exploring Human Disease

[seretide]

Hi guys,

Just setting up next semesters plan and wanted to see if anyone has completed PATH20001 Exploring Human Disease - Science? Recommendations? I'll be doing this subject with anatomy, but I'm happy for any other different suggestions!

Thanks

I did this subject in my 2nd year and really enjoyed it. The content of the subject is more conceptual compared to anatomy where it is mostly wrote learning. I believe that it sets a solid foundation for health science postgraduate (although its not mandatory of course). The MST (30%), if you kept on top of your work was relatively straight forward and no tricks. The exam was 3 essays (topics were fairly predictable when looking at past papers) with choice for each section, which is of benefit to students who tend to selectively study.

This was probably one of my favourite science subjects in undergraduate.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response! How would you say this subject fairs in terms of work load whilst in subjects like biochem and anatomy?

Quite manageable. I did this subjects together with biochem and techniques in molecular science if that's of any help.

By the way you mentioned past papers (was looking to sort of see what they cover etc) and I haven't been able to find any as of today. Have they removed them now?

I don't think they are posted online anyway. The lecturer will post them up early on in the semester. There is no point really looking at it since you know nothing about Pathology. But the exam format was:

40 x MC
3 Long answer responses

2 HOURS.
