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.

hard course. but great lecturer

A difficult but manageable class, it requires attention to details in the book and in class. I would record each lecture and have a back up note taker. I would not recommend in combination with Orgo, Orgo Lab, and a bio core.

Great class. The lectures are clear and logical, and the text book is even more so. There is a lot of information but its so interesting I am very glad to have taken the class. The tests are half multiple choice and half short answer.

Awesome class! Kittlesen is known for his difficult exams and this class is no exception. You really need to study and understand the concepts in order to perform well on the test.

This is a great class if you're interested in human biology. The material is not easy, but Kittlesen is a great lecturer and if you put the time in, you can get a good grade.

This class is probably the most interesting one I have been in so far in the biology department. It is hard to pull off an A in this class, as he tries to decrease the standard deviation of the scores and centralize it around the mean (which comes out somewhere around a high B-). However, it is possible to get an A if you put the work in. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is getting a BA or BS within Biology, it was truly a fantastic course with Kittleson.

Awesome class. Hard, but definitely worth it.

This was a great class. Kittlesen loves to teach it and he really knows what he is talking about. It is challenging, but definitely worthwhile.

Kittlesen is great. And his lectures aren't really "textbook" based, instead he takes you through the experiments that were important in the history of immunobiology. It's not particularly easy, but he challenges you to think through the experiments and really know the material. His tests are consistently kittlesen-like
