The workload was rather light compared to the other core modules. For
the portion on blood, it was basically a recap of O level biology
(since we do not do that at A levels), plus more information. Pretty
straightforward stuff. But for the CA, I felt that the questions were
rather straightforward but only tested a little of the lecture notes
(The scope of the questions were very specific and does not reward those
who adequately prepared for the test.)
As for the portion on the heart by Dr Zakaria, we learn in greater
detail about how the heart functions, and also how to interpret the ECG –
interesting and applicable to daily life (not that I would remember
them for too long). Otherwise, his portion was a bit dry though. His
assignment was an open ended question regarding the molecular basis
behind a cardiovascular phenomenon, in which we had to search the web
for relevant information (research paper only) and cite them
accordingly. According to my friend, it will be helpful if one has taken
the module LSM3224. I spent the entire recces week on this assignment,
and felt that I did a good job.
