Module difficulty/contents: For a module that is a major requirement for Chemistry students, and for the “Biochemistry” name of the module, this has close to no chemistry involved. Be prepared to S/U the module. Lectures consist of slides with content as well as e-practicals, which are just slides of practicals with voiceovers. Thankfully, the lecturer provides notes in Word document format which makes things a lot easier to study for.
Workload: Light! Attendance is only required for 3 sessions – midterms, quiz, and “finals”. Studying for these assessments isn’t very hard either, but it depends on how much you want to score for the module.
