Cellular and organismal growth and other responses are controlled by positive and negative cues from both internal and external sources. We discuss the signaling mechanisms that recognize these cues and initiate an intracellular set of events that generates a response. We also discuss the molecular mechanisms of pattern formation and cellular differentiation that underlie developmental processes in a variety of important multicellular model systems.

Collegereminds me of that one guy from young sheldon. tests were fair and lectures were interesting. just put in the effort and youll be fine. would take again
mumbles when he lectures and goes through his slides super fast. only graded on two midterms and a final - easily the hardest class i've ever taken i don't recommend. when he tells you its a very hard class he isn't exaggerating.
Prefaces the class by saying that it is going to be difficult, and that was an honest statement. Immunology as a whole is a tough and dense subject but the slides and lectures prepare you to do well on the exams. He is clear on expectations, and overall his exams were reasonable if you did the readings and studied well.
good and nice man! Really interesting class, the material was great. But he rambles a lot, goes off on tangents mixes really confusing stories into his lectures. Not good articulation. tests are HARD, make sure to memorize EVERYTHING WELL, and applying that info for every topic. Imagine a hard take home test w/o notes. curved 1st mid 52 2nd mid 48
Rothman was okay. You could tell that he was not super confident about the material he taught and often muttered things to make up for that. The content is not too hard however the tests are much harder than they should be and have a lot of trick questions. Exams are not a good test of your knowledge. Only the tests are included in the gradebook.
Good enough lecturer, and definitely a super nice guy who wants his students to succeed. Exams were relatively difficult, but not unreasonable.
