This course was a bit different than the year before. Less topics were covered, plus there wasn't a group project.
Breakdown
2 Midterms x 25% each = 50%
50% Final
Course Materials
Pathophysiology for the Health Professions 3rd edition by Gould
Essentials of Pathophysiology 2nd edition by Porth
Course Manual (it was available online, don't know if that will also be the case for next year)
The course itself
A lot of stuff to memorize. What makes it a bit easier is that you won't have to memorize everything, and you may find it interesting, which should motivate you enough to want to study this lecture notes. Studying from the notes should be sufficient; I recommend using the book by Gould to supplement (or if you're really stuck). I found the book by Porth to be useless.
Instructor
I had Regy Mathew this year, although next time it'll be Leslie Murray.
Midterms/Final
No problem solving, no applications. Just regurgitation. The exams were fair, and the difficulty with all three exams were consistent. That's good; if you do screw up your first exam you'll be able to make a better judgement on what's needed for improvement.
Advice
Do not leave this stuff last minute. The earlier you review the material the exam will be much easier. Also, if you do get stuck on a question in the exam, just read it carefully, think it through, and the correct answer should become quite obvious.
Good luck with MEDRADSC 1B03!
