Given the format of the course, active attendance on 80% of the lectures is required. The grade for the course will be based on one final take-home exam. There will be four questions for the final exam (maximum one page per answer). Exams will be handed out at the end of the final class and will be due during the next 48 hours. Answers for the take-home exams have to be done independently. Questions are going to be based on the topics covered during lectures. |

The basic background in immunology (please see courses: MB150P14B or MB150P14E) is essential for enrolling in this course. It is highly advantageous if students also pass additional immunology-related courses prior to taking the Immunology of infectious disease course (eg. MB150P15A, MB150P13, MB150P90E). |
