Tom took over the second half of Path-210 and greatly enhanced my understanding of the global context in which the HIV/AIDS pandemic took place. Great class, engaging lectures, and very insightful and established professors. Exams are straightforward, but the grade is made up of only three + attendance points, so be sure to study.Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor and Path Bio 210 was a great class; I would highly recommend him and Dave!Rate My Professors ↗
He teaches Path210 with Dave, and they were the best! Super well establised in their field, class had some scientific content but very accessible for even non-STEM majors. The course is super up-to-date and very interesting. A few reading for every class, and graded based on attendance and 3 midterms. Great class for new UW students.Rate My Professors ↗
PATH210 is an honors only course which was nice because the class was very small and the lectures were more like discussions. It wasn't a very difficult course (one of the less sciencey bio credits), but the only things scored were the 3 multiple choice exams, so it was important to study for those. Both Tom and Dave were great professors overall.Rate My Professors ↗
