Prions and statistics

By Rebecca S. on 22. February 2017 for Prions

This lectures goes through the important prion diseases. It focuses a lot on statistics making the lecture a littler longer that needed. Overall a good lecture if you're not too busy in your studying

I like it for a general class, not for last minute revision.

By Bhavna P. on 04. February 2017 for Prions

It was very informational , I mean too much statistics about the history. Its really good for a class. But its bit TIME CONSUMING for some one running against time. One should be able to to hit guess the key points for revision. Im sorry, but this is my honest opinion.
