Great module if you have an interest in this side of Biology and animals. Lectures are very informative with lots of examples, and some information is from previous years and builds which is nice- it doesn't feel too overwhelming.
A full coursework module does take the pressure off exams.

Group seminar: basically covering a paper and extra reading around this with discussion after- good to develop a deep understanding of the paper topic and develop group skills.

MCQ: obviously not completed yet because of uni being closed, but we tried some practice questions and it is all based on the lecture content so just make sure you have good notes and it seems achievable (same with Dragons den).

Essay: month to complete, nice a flexible with time.

Dragons den is session at the end of term where you are randomly assigned a group and lecture topic, from which you have to give a mini-presentation with no revision resources/ internet (just what you remember)- slightly annoying as it means you have to revise as if it is an exam (defeats the no revision, but at least it isn't in exam season- its at the end of term).

Seminar module so does require attending most lectures- but is nice to listen to other students presentations.

Chris Hatcher is a very good and helpful lecturer!
