I really enjoyed this course. The workload was manageable with a midterm, group project, and final. The material was easy to understand and presented at a comfortable pace. Chris is a great professor - clear explanations, fair marking, and helpful for the group project. Highly recommend taking this course with him, especially since the midterm only covers the thermoregulation module. Make sure to attend lectures to complete his slides.

Yah so that last review is so outdated, so I'mma write this.
Before writing anything TAKE THIS WITH CHRIS VIGNA HE'S AMAZING. Honestly taking this course was the best choice ever, and its one of my favorite science-related classes in my entire undergrad. Content-wise we went through 4 modules of content, which is significantly less (for me at least since I've taken so many biology courses where its like 10+ modules). Breakdown was 40% Midterm, 20% Group Presentation, 40% Final, but he would move 10% from whatever you did worse in to whatever you did best in. Dr. Vigna was the best professor for this course, the exams were non-cumulative which was a life-saver and the group presentations…

Mid-terms and final were not the easiest tests to take.
Course overall was a little too focused on Firefighters
