If you need to schedule a make-up exam for a UI-approved excuse (see general catalog, section M),
contact Dr. Miura as soon as you know the exam will be missed. There will be no opportunities to make-up
missed online or in-class assignments. No extra credit assignments will be given.
Learning Objectives:
In accordance with UI Learning Outcomes , it is expected that students will:
Learn & Integrate: Students will apply their previous knowledge of cellular and molecular biology to gain
an understanding of the development and functions of the immune system.
Think & Create: Students will be expected to apply the concepts and approaches learned in this course
to solve future academic and professional problems.
Communicate: Students will be expected to effectively communicate the concepts learned in this course
using the terminology of biology, chemistry, and immunology.
Clarify Purpose & Perspective: It is expected that all students will gain insight into how their immune
system protects them against disease and can also contribute to disease, and how the
knowledge of immunology leads to effective vaccine and drug development.
Practice Citizenship: It is expected that students will be able to share their knowledge of immunology with
others in a manner that provides accurate information about concepts that impact all of society,
including vaccination and immune-mediated diseases.
