ladies and gentlemen boys and girls
welcome to Immunology, I am Dr. Welsh
For those of you have never met me yet
hello, for those of you know me "not dead yet"
so we are now in the middle of this
whole Covid 19 pandemic, so the powers
that be have decided that we are to
teach classes online. So your Immunology
course has been uploaded to Workday.. oh not Workday, Canvas.  Sorry.
"chemo brain"... but anyways everything
you're gonna be needing for this course
has already been uploaded a few things
will be changed over the semester as we
get going through but when you look down
below you will see buttons, buttons for
each chapter. I highly recommend that
that is how you access the pre-recorded
lectures usually they're about 10
minutes 15 minutes each not too bad and
an accompanying quiz now when you look
at that you will see that I have
supplied the textbook for you I found
borrowed an older edition so that way
you don't have to pay for it you will
use that along with the recorded
lectures lectures correspond to specific
pages and then you will answer questions
on a quiz easy peasy
after so many chapters there's a test
quizzes tests are all online quizzes
tests are open book now granted the
quizzes are gonna be easy simplistic
questions nothing too hard for you
the exams much more difficult they will
be timed but they're open book and we'll
talk more about those later now the way
this is gonna work everything's posted
work at your own pace there are
deadlines you'll look you'll see there
is a specific deadline all the quizzes
for chapters 1 2 & 3 are due there is a
specific test date has to be done by
this date you have to do it on this day
but other than that you have a month
month to do the-- you want to sit down
tonight and do all the homeworks for the
semester have it if you want to wait
take your time see how the other classes
are going feel free now this since this
this course is online I have
reduced the number of chapters because
for some people this is going to be a
little different okay this is a very
advanced course I am lecturing to you
online I'm expecting you to read the
textbook I'm expecting you to contact me
if you do not understand information
what you will see happen is that the
quizzes build up the quiz questions will
be combined in certain ways to become
the test questions it does build up to
each other things build on previous work
so the questions on the exams aren't
going to come out of nowhere because of
the way this course is going to be
taught I will be available Monday
Wednesday 11:00 to 1:00 in my office if
you want to come and see me in person
please keep in mind if you would that I
am still a chemo patient still will be
until first month or so of the semester
so I am immuno compromised
so if you show up please wear a mask I
will be be sure that one I don't let you
in now as far as the materials go had
this course online two years ago the one
complaint was it was straight from the
textbook yeah it is the only part that's
not gonna be the textbook but you can't
look in your textbook and find the
information to is going to be the final
project you're gonna write a paper paper
to be discussed later simple it's just
gonna be a research paper now since this
is online and I have reduced it's only
gonna cover I believe ten chapters which
I think for online self basically this
is almost a tutorial course you're going
to be teaching yourself because I'm
assuming most of you are more advanced
students so click the buttons below
start with the syllabus okay
there is a homework due tonight about
the syllabus but other than that let me
know if you have questions
