Can someone tell me the difficulty and professor (Bramson) of Heath sci 3I03? (The immunology course)

(bump) ..I'd like to know too.

I didn't personally take the course but I heard from multiple people who had taken it last year (with Dr. Bramson as the course coordinator) that it requires you to input a lot of time into studying to be able to do well.

I attached the course outline.

Here is the link to a review of the course. Take a look at ladyh's comments regarding the course.

There is no longer a PBL component to the course; it's just two midterms (20% each), two assignments (5% each, pass/fail), and a 40% final (long-answer questions that are provided beforehand, some of which will show up on the final).

Despite being only two hours of lecture (and two hours tutorial), it is enormously content-heavy. I needed a number of days before each midterm to understand everything and memorize the details. With all the jargon around, immunology is practically its own language. It's very possible to do well if you put in the time and effort, and immunology is an interesting and applicable (and complex) subject.

I believe that initially the majority of seats are reserved for FHS students, and only at the end of August (~30th) do they open the remaining seats to everyone who meets the prerequisites.

I think you mean 25% each? That's what the Fall 2012 outline says. What you listed only adds up to 90.

Oh yeah, sorry. Each midterm is 25%
