  • Love Jason Au! Very funny, nice and engaging. Did not enjoy this updated version of the course. Felt like every time we were about to get into the interesting parts of a subject, we were done talking about it. All clinical, might not be your favourite perspective to learn things as a pure science student.

  • Pretty interesting content, different pathologies of the CV system such as CAD, heart failure, and learning how to interpret 12-lead ECGs and different types of heart pathologies. Fair marking scheme and breakdown. 35% exam, 25% midterm, 20% case study, 10% ECG assignment, 10% quizzes

  • This course was actually really easy. The prof may have been difficult to listen to but the content wasn't hard especially once you get familiar with how to read an ECG. Most of the content is also pretty general and on the final you're allowed one cheat sheet with limitations but it's a blessing. Midterm was easy and the assignment you could definitely get perfect on especially since she turns a blind eye in collaborating with others to determine the answers.

  • SO interesting and was not as hard as I expected. One midterm (closed book) and 1 case study assignment. More of an understanding course than memorization.

  • This is a super interesting course. But there was a lot of content and the final exam is open book which made everything so look so hard.
