interesting and helpful content, but harsh on marking 🥲
Really interesting content if you're interested in non communicable diseases on a global context. A lot of good content on policy and governance mechanisms. The assessments are well defined but do take note that the first assessment is due really soon and it being an intensive subject you really need to be on the ball with getting your group together. It also happens to be 25% of your mark and is a bit of lottery on what group members you get.
Overall really solid subject if you need a winter subject to help you underload your semester 2.
