Totally happy with the course. It definitely was a wonderful learning experience. Since immunology is a vast subject, it would have been difficult to structure the course so as to include all the topics, so some lectures felt like it had a whole lot of information compared to other, which might take some time to comprehend. Very happy about this portal and will definitely come back to learn some more. Thanks to every one responsible for this whole initiative.
