I don't know too much about Hth Age 1AA3 (Health Studies) but I took Hth Age 1BB3 and I loved it. It's one of those things that either you love or hate though, so that determines its "birdiness" as you said. I took it out of interest so I loved it and found it super interesting. Here's what I posted about it in another thread.
"I 'm currently in the course and it was previously known as Gerontology 1A03, but the course code changed this year. The topics covered deal with "Aging and society." Workload is okay, about 20-40 pages of reading per week, and you're expected to read it before going to class. There's a volunteering or discussion group component which you have to go to for at least 1 hour a week. And at the end of the term there's a reflection assignment on that experience, not an essay per se, but just a reflection paper. These are the titles of the chapters we cover:
-Myths, stereotypes and cultural images of aging
-Theories on Aging
-Research Issues and Methods
-Historical Perspectives
-Demographics of Aging in Canada
-The Aging body
-The Aging mind
-Psychological Aspects of aging
-Health care in Canada
-Long-term Care in Canada
-Family life and social support in later life
-Work, income and retirement in later life
-Sexuality and aging
-Ethnicity and aging
-Abuse against older people
-Religion and spirituality
-End of life issues"
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions
Also, there's course reviews here(the course codes changed this year, that's why it's different!):
