"Genuinely such a good class. For anyone curious to understand how disease and illness affect the body, along with the mechanistic functions of cells, this is the class for you. Professor Edwards is an incredibly kind person, but that doesn’t mean he won’t make fun of you. If you can deal with his jokes, as he makes fun of everyone equally, there is no better class to take."
