hard course. but great lecturer

If you approach this class like most pre-meds do (just trying to memorize everything by attrition) then you'll find this class very difficult. But if you actually try to think about and understand the basic concepts, an A is not unobtainable.

Also, Kittlesen is the best professor in the bio dept, hands down.

At the start of the semester, I thought this course would be impossible because of some of the reviews that I've read, but it's actually doable. It's a hard class, yeah, but if you make an effort then you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Go to the lectures and read the book. What's great about this course is that you don't need to memorize every last minute detail. Kittlesen instead stresses that you understand general concepts and expects you to apply your knowledge on the tests [short answer and MC], which is why they can be challenging. He seems to pull more from the lectures than the book because of all the various experiments. You don't have to take notes word for word but it helps, just in case; it's even better if you can record lectures.

Overall this was an enjoyable and rewarding class, at least if you put some effort into it. I'd definitely recommend Immuno, especially since Kittlesen's a great prof. who lectures with clarity and throws in a few jokes every now and then.

I really enjoyed this class. It is difficult material and Kittlesen expects that you know it. My best advice is to know the experiments that he goes over in class like the back of your hand. For them, you will need to know the basic material from the book and lecture, but that material can easily be found in the book. He loves to test on the experiments! I found that it is more about the application of the concepts than the concepts themselves, which is what actually made the class interesting and enjoyable.

great class! learned a lot. Test could be challenging but it's not impossible to get an A. Just need to work hard, read everything, take good notes in class. If you can't take good notes, listen to recording later

difficult tests

The material itself is very interesting, and the professor is wonderful! but it's a lot of reading and studying. the course is very time-consuming and tests are hard. but take it if you are really interested in the subject.

Kittlesen is a great teacher but his tests are hard...make sure to study the book and your notes.

good class. requires a lot of time commitment. keep up with reading he goes slow at first and then picks up the pace later in the semester. need to know material from lecture AND book

Fantastic, nice guy. He explains things pretty well and is very receptive to questions if you don't understand. The material's really interesting, definitely more geared towards cellular/molecular people, and there's lots of human bio involved. Tests are pretty hard (short-answer and MC) but fair.
