Evaluation Responses: What did you like about this course?
“Thoughtfully laid out introduction to immunology with good engagement with those taking the course.”
“It started at a low enough basic level and built upon the topics to frame a basic understanding of how the various immunology processes and key cells/molecules are interconnected. ”
“Excellent overview of the immune system: its composition and its functions. Highlighted basic principles and concepts in a clear and elegant way. Spoke of real world applications and human examples of immunological defects leading to disease. Also talked about challenges in drug development that are relevant to the space our company is working in. The speaker was engaging, approachable, interactive.”
The instructor spoke clearly, had great slides and made it more interesting by including stories and relevant examples.
