A very difficult topic which is highly volatile to forget, but lecture does his best to keep us informed

SsRNA: Negative Sense Genomes

By Madjissem K. on 29. March 2018 for SsRNA: Negative Sense Genomes

the explanation is very clear, the scientific names are pronounced very well and the illustrations are standing out.

The material is good but insufficient.

By Sara D. on 02. February 2018 for Viruses

The lectures are well organised and gives you a basic understanding of viruses and how different types of viruses replicates in the host cell but it doesn't talk about the individual viruses, pathogenesis and the diseases caused by the individual viruses.
