Quality 4/5Difficulty 3/5
Lectures are kind of dry, but he makes it really clear about what you need to know. His exams were significantly more difficult than the first two in my opinion, but definitely manageable if you put in more effort.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Bashirullah gives very clear lectures and his test questions are extremely fair. He tests almost exclusively on drugs, not much about the physiological background. He likes to give matching questions, and his multiple choice are fairly easy to rule out several of the options.
