Comments
Core unit, but had some interesting aspects to it. John Haynes is probably the funniest realist I’ve ever have had the pleasure to listen to. The unit was very thought provoking, and most assessments relied on what I thought, not someone else’s idea- a different kind of unit to the others I’ve done this semester. Definitely don’t recommend viewing the eye surgery video shown in one of the “showcase” lectures, that was a bit gross.
