Extremely well organised subject with enthusiastic subject coordinators. Assignment expectations are made very clear and all messaging is consistent so there is minimal room for confusion. If you were concerned about biostatistics before like I was, rest assured that Nadia and Anurika have broken down the subject really well into digestible pieces. Tutors were all fantastic and very helpful too.
Really solid set of modules. Straightforward assignments and manageable workload. @leaf_ey
I was dreading having to do Biostats but it was a great subject experience. Perfectly organised and taught, made everything so easy to learn. Assignments are also well aligned with content being taught, so no tricks. I had Nadia as my coordinator and she delivered a fantastic subject.
