PSC3222: Advanced Formulation and Nanotechnology

10% Mid-semester test
60% final exam
20% lab reports (8% for labs 1 and 2, 4% for lab 3; labs 1 & 2 ran over 2 weeks each)
10% lab olympics

I was so keen for this unit, but I really started to get demotivated from it because the marking was ridiculously harsh in this unit, and then lab Olympics came along and I had to go eat sad ramen with friends afterwards because yeah, we all weren’t happy with the outcome of how we went in that oops.
Angus’s content however, was nice and clear and concise, and I understood the concepts pretty well, and that really helped in exam study- and actually saved my score!
There was this one lecturer who works for a company that sells biosensors and told us that his lecture was not an ad. Believe me when I say that it was LOL.
This unit also only ran over 8 weeks due to placement being in the middle of the semester!

Note: this subject is still relevant to the new degree, and is coded BPS3322 from semester 2, 2020!

Dr Angus Johnston, guest lecturers

No, but Angus gave ridiculously unanswerable practice questions that I tried to answer and couldn’t aha.

3 out of 5

Yes

Don’t recall looking at any for this unit. I did read a lot of research papers to write my labs though!

3 x 1h lectures/week (weeks 1-5,6-10), 7 x 3h labs (2 of these were lab olympics)
