I've only taken Psych 2E03 but I really did not enjoy it at all. I would take another course!

Immuno was a pretty difficult course for me, it consisted a lot of memorizing specific cytokines and their functions. I realized after the course that I was not very partial to molecular biology, since my memory is pretty terrible and I'm more of a conceptual/big picture kind of person. That being said, the course is still applicable and interesting if you look at everything as a whole. There are some neat case studies that you are exposed to. The exam consisted of 6 long answer questions that had multiple parts to it, but you get the chance to prepare for them beforehand (they give you 10 questions and end up choosing 6), so there was collaboration and discussion, which help solidify the material. In my opinion, the course was quite demanding, as a bit of textbook reading was necessary to complement the lecture notes. The two tests were 50 min each and were pretty long, so you really had to know your stuff well. There were lots of people writing until the end. I haven't taken Psych 2e03, so I can't comment on it unfortunately.

rkb12, sdee all say thanks to Jenn for this post.

3I03 will be difficult for anyone who's not good at memorizing because there are so many cytokines you have to remember. And for the exam you basically have to memorize 8 essays. If you are good at memorizing though, I highly recommend it because the material itself is super interesting.
