Some examples of comments are below:
"My favourite course I have had so far in university. The content invites a lot of critical thinking and questioning of the evidence that is
out there in research. In a sense, it gave me the freedom to question everything I thought I knew. I believe that this is a great skill to
have not only in clinical or research practice but for everyday life.
The assessments were particularly enjoyable. For example, Assignment 1 Part A allowed us to learn some of the mechanics
behind writing a methods section for a systematic review. Assignment 1 Part B also taught me the importance of analysing
research studies and giving the skills to identify between "poor" and "good" quality papers/evidence. I intend to continue practising
these skills not during the summer holidays but for a long time.
In a way, I think I have learnt more during this course than in any other course, despite the ambiguity of evidence and learning that
we don't actually know much if anything.
I guess this course has motivated me to continue studying for this degree, as it was only last term that I wasn't sure if I wanted to
continue and was unhappy, unsure and scared about my future. I am still unsure of what I will do, but perhaps I may go into post–
graduate studies, whether that is research, education or becoming a physiotherapist I will see.
Sorry for going on a tangent, and some of what I said may not be necessary, but this course has been amazing and means so
much to me. I have enjoyed and looked forward to every single tutorial, lab, lecture, and other content. It makes such a big difference
having such great tutors/lecturers/convenors."
"The weekly discussion and case study in each tutorials were really good as it had helped me understood and apply the lecture
content towards real scenarios. The labs were also really good in helping me be in the position to apply my lecture content into
practice. Overall the course had open my mind into thinking in a patient/client centre manner which will be beneficial in developing
my skills as an AEP."
"This has been my favourite course since starting at UNSW– was the perfect amount of challenging, not a ridiculous load of lectures
a week, lectures were concise which allowed for focus and engagement throughout the whole length of them. Teacher and Mitch are
unreal, they are so personable, so knowledgable and really passionate about what they are teaching. Can not speak higher about
this course"
