Comments
John Haynes had a tricky way of making questions. He had several questions in his assessment material that had sooooo many ways that it could have been answered, and only one was right. His notes were also rather useless, ended up trying to teach myself from Rang and Dale's days before the exam because I was lost. :')

This unit will not run again as PSC2012, however all of the content will be moved to the new BPS2012: Pharmacology II: Drug Action (and potentially some in BPS2011) unit for 2019+

Your Mark / Grade
65C, pretty reflective of how difficult I found the subject. Happy I passed though. (It took me nearly a whole day to have a captain's hook at my results. I didn't think I passed this unit and knowing my results were out triggered my anxiety but yay I don't have to do pharmacology again :D )
