Dr. B is the man! Such a boss. Don't need to read the textbook if you are good with understanding his lectures.

He wants you to understand the main concepts and big picture of immunology.. he understands what really counts. Take this class!

Dr Bitsktsis was amazing. He was made class interesting and kept my attention even in a late evening class. He was also very funny, that always keeps the class enjoyable.
