Fall 2016 - HOW does Galic not have any reviews at all?! He is widely regarded as one of the most popular professors in MIMG, and for good reason, too-- he is AMAZING. Immunology is an incredibly difficult subject, but it is so so interesting and so rewarding, and Galic loves to teach. I loved listening to him lecture (he's from Yugoslavia, so he has a thick European accent, but it's not difficult to understand) and he is so helpful during OH. I had him during the rare quarter that he taught with Dr. Zack, and he and Zack were so hilarious together. They make lots of jokes and are just incredible professors. Truly passionate about their subject AND about teaching, which is a rare combo. Galic also remembers students names (if you come to OH) and I actually ran into him on campus a few days after our final, and he stopped to talk to me and was incredibly complimentary and kind and encouraging. I wish that I could take another class with him!!! Probably the best professor I've had at UCLA!

As I think every MIMG major does, I dreaded this course. But it really has the same effect as Biochem 153A, whether you are interested in it the subject or not the course makes you respect the field, the research, and the professors teaching. I got an A- in the class and can give you some tips on how to do well. Attend lecture to identify which concepts they are stressing in the reader. The reader can be unorganized and the diagrams are poorly printed making it difficult to understand which material is actually important. The homework problems due every week are old exam questions and extremely helpful. Make sure to understand all techniques and the different ways you can apply them to the material. You can use all your notes and books during the exams but don't rely on this. Make your own lists of key terms and definitions, flag important pages on your reader, and bring the old test answer keys because sometimes questions can be similar. Attend OH with a good TA. This year Chris Nixon was definitely the superstar TA going out of his way to make extra OH almost every day for 2 weeks before the final. He also made quick reference sheets of all the IL's and T and B cell specific markers which saved SO much time during tests. Goodluck!

Winter 2017 - I really liked Dr. Yang when she taught Immunology. She has all of the main points written on her slides so it's really easy to follow along. She makes sure to pause in her lectures every once in a while to make sure no one has any questions. 100% go to at least one of her office hours. They're really helpful AND she has you check your name off a list so she knows who's going and who is not going, which they take into account when giving you your final grade.

I don't know how you guys are but, I really think Morrison is a much better lecturer. The class is definitely hard but man, Zack is really monotone. He just read straight out of his slides nothing new, nothing clarify. Morrison is so much better. She is much more enthusiatic and much more passionate about immunology. But he is sincere try his best to make the stuffs easier to the point he might repeat over and over the same stuffs.
