Classes are interactive with lots of discussion. We examine case studies and key experiments, and often watch and analyse YouTube clips. We also do practical experiments ( a brain dissection and eye dissection). You will also undertake your own research on a topic of your choice. In semester 2, you will conduct research in groups and collect and analyse your own data. We also go on various excursions throughout the year which help to deepen your understanding of the concepts we cover in class.
