The case stories provided a creative, fun, and intelligent way of learning about infectious organisms. The animation assisted in making the story alive. Really enjoyed this course.

Very interesting and taught in an engaging way. I learned a lot about infectious agents, disease pathology and the various components and functioning of the immune system.

Very well presented. An introductory review-style course with some basic introductory clinical material. Lectures on each topic are short (5-10min) and presented as a clinical case.
