Student review (2026-09-14, translated): Joking aside… the weekly SDLs are insane, the course coverage is extremely broad. From cellular respiration and photosynthesis to the human cardiovascular and respiratory systems—by the midterm, we’d already covered human, bird, and fish respiratory systems. They say everything’s examinable, but the test felt like it focused on non-key content, like it was deliberately offbeat.
