The content and lecturers were mostly very interesting and it was a good introduction to public health for students with no prior knowledge or work experience. The first two days were very intense/ content-overload with tutes at the end of each day. The assessments were quite difficult, marked very harshly and I felt the feedback was not detailed or objective enough. I would recommend future students to start assignments asap and pay attention in the tutorials (esp third one).

Wish I never took this subject as it has so much potential but horribly delivered. Not for the light-hearted or those with high WAM expectations. If I could give this 0 stars I would.
