BTCH20002: Biotechnology

Upto four written assignments less than 2000 words total throughout the semester - 25%

Written test (one hour) in week 8 -15%

Written Exam (2 hours) end of semester examination- 60%

Overall I enjoyed the content of this subject. There were very few topics taught each week (like maybe one concept every lecture, so 12 concepts in total) and some of it I was already aware of (eg. Pluripotent stem cells, multipotent and iPS). There was also some artificial selection of crops and such.
The worst part was the actual teaching of the lectures, they were just so long and most of the lecturers sucked at presenting their content and knowledge. The only thing that saved me was

Yes, without screen capture.
Note: I tried to appeal to the coordinator to say that we needed screen capture (a 2 hour lecture with no screen capture??? ugh), I don't know if they will actually enable it though.

Prem Bhalla (one or two lectures), Edwin Wong (also the tutor), David Tribe and other guest lecturers.

Can't recall. I think we got a sample exam?
