Biol. 6190 is an advanced immunology course. BIOL 5190-Immunology (or equivalent) is a prerequisite for this course. Teaching will consist of a combination of lecture, class discussion, and review of current scientific literature, including student presentation of scientific papers. Open discussion is encouraged at nearly any time.

Grading policy: Grades will be based on two one-hour exams (30% of your final grade each), a comprehensive final exam (35% of your final grade), and class participation (5% of your final grade). Failure to take an exam at the assigned time and date, unless the instructor is notified early and agrees to a change, will result in a zero for that exam. Students with excused absences from any of the exams may be allowed to take a comprehensive makeup exam on Tuesday, April 30.
