Winter 2022 - I really love this class! :) I thought that the material was super interesting, and I enjoyed learning about immunology! But this is class was, by far, the hardest class I've taken at UCLA. The lecture material is dense, I had to continually pause the recordings and rewind, which made the 1hr recordings take 3hrs to watch and take notes on. Professor Yang's lectures were especially difficult to watch- I had to watch them on max volume at 1x speed because I couldn't understand what she was saying with her accent. The recorded lectures had VERY POOR video quality ( the images and texts on slides were blurry) and VERY POOR audio quality and there were also no closed captions! My ears hurt after trying to watch every lecture and I would get so mad because I couldn't understand 75% of what Professor Yang was saying. Perhaps it will be better in person, but I found myself getting so frustrated because I could not understand her in the recordings at all. The exams are very fair though, just like the homework problems!

Winter 2022 - The class is one of the most interesting you'll take as an MIMG major, but like every review says, it's hard. You have to not only keep up with the large amount of material but also learn how to answer the questions they ask on the exams. The tests are very critical-thinking heavy and require you to interpret a lot of information from different experiments and then make a conclusion. On the final, there was huge proportions of the exam that had never been covered in class, and it was so damn long that most people didn't finish it. Dr. Yang and Dr. O'Sullivan (they teach the course together) are just OK as lecturers. Go to OH if you want more clarification on concepts. If you have the choice, take this class with Galic and Zack instead.
