I hope that you’ve all had an awesome jump start to Term 2.  I certainly have!  Here are my thoughts so far…

MICB 202 – Introduction to Medical Microbiology and Immunology

The professor I have for Immunology is a little dry when it comes to lecturing, but she’s still good.  And I find the content really interesting, so that’s keeping me tuned in.  I like how there are course notes – it helps consolidate the readings.  Definitely don’t want to fall behind in this course, since I’ve heard the exam is BIOL 112-esque.

BIOL 201 – Introduction to Biochemistry

So far the material is not thoroughly difficult and not too interesting.  The prof’s okay and the class seems to be the longest 50 minutes of my life, but the lecture notes are really thorough.  Again, there are specific course notes, which is lovely.

CHEM 205 – Physical Chemistry

I’ve only had one class so far, so not too many thoughts on the course material itself.  The prof is a little hard to understand.

FNH 250 – Nutrition Concepts and Controversies

I have this once a week, for 3 hours all together.  It’s tiring, and the prof is pretty boring.  The material seems like it will be interesting though.

CLST 301 – The Technical Terms of Medicine and Biological Science

I’ve also only had one class for this course, so I have no idea what the quality of lectures will be.  We’ve gotten our first vocab list to learn – it’s harder to learn suffixes and prefixes which can’t be said out loud (because they don’t form a coherent sounding word).
