8. Viruses and prions (unconventional agents). Classification of viruses. Viral replication and genetics: DNA viruses and RNA viruses (PUMS Adv Microbiology / Lectures)

really gr8. to the point. fascinating. this whole program is quality cme. _JC

very clear and detailed explanations,basics and detailed information is well explained.

He was very wholesome,calm,clear composed and his use of references to his experience were wonderful.

More emphasis on how the usmle style questioning will be asked

I like all your lectures, you give a great explanation of the material, thank you, Professor!

Professor Racaniello masters the topic very well. He knows what he is talking about. I like his confidence. He is one of the most fluent professors I ever have

I haven't reviewed the lecture but personally from watching some of the previous vids I feel that doc Vincent is not giving a USMLE lecture. while what he does is very good, lecturio is very specific for USMLE, the lecturer has to hit the most high yield points in the most concise and easy to understand way. the benchmark would be Hassan sattar in pathoma, very on the point summarizing massive topics to a single slide.

Very good introduction courses for beginners and much knowledge for course reviewers!

Both lecturers are very clear and Dr Elliot goes slowly so I get more of the quizzes correct.

Love the course, thank you very much teacher, it really helped me.

This course has all I need, so a 4 star. However, I didn't get something special so not 5 star.

Both Dr. Sean Elliot and Vincent Racaniello are awesome. Both of them provide key information of microbiology. The presentations are clear and easy to remember

The classes are short covering usually one topic at a time. This allows more to learn the material easily.

Excellent lectures. Racaniello is very concise, knowledgeable and interesting. Visuals in lectures good too. Pace is at optimum speed and duration of each lecture in a nice digestible package. Content is of adequate depth - not too simplistic and not too complicated. Sequencing seems to be a little off though, with questions appearing before video. First virus video seems to talk about Baltimore classification as if already covered, so I’m not sure if sequencing of videos is correct either.

It gave me all the information I needed. Plus the videos were updated to COVID-19. I definitely recommend this to all health care workers

I liked that the subject was covered in depth and was easy to understand. Good for clinicians and med students.

Interesting and informative across the spectrum. This course covers everything of interest.

Great courses ,knowledgeable and passionate professors.Perfect for those who will forever have a thirst for knowledge. I wish there were more hours in the day

It’s valuable and well presented lectures ! I recommend it for my colleagues

es un excelente vídeo, y esta muy bien explicado; justo el tema de mi próxima evaluación

It was very comprehensive and interesting. I want to become a virologist too.

I chose this because I am a fan of viruses and I want to invent a Medicine for all viruses and I loved it very much because I want to help mankind and learn, and this is a type that we must all talk about.

I really love how he mainly focuses on the important details needed.its amazing I love you guys.

Great but insufficient. The second part has no subtitles for foreign speakers

The Pro. ist amazing and has a very clear way to introduce concepts The informations lack any medical relevance, they are directed more towards biological knowledge Please, try to be more oriented towards medicine, Sings and symptoms are needed

Not a great virus review course for Usmle step one students

clear helpful illustrations. although history took much time, but I liked the way you went through it, your slides also were simple, not crowded and well organized.

It tells the information is not really close to the USMLE questions.

Simple and easy to understand, he really likes the subject. I wish the videos were longer with more information. Maybe an advance lecture? Thank you!

Mr Racaniello explained viral genetics very well in this course, however clinical diseases (measles, mumps, hepatitis viruses, etc) were not mentioned. Most importantly, HIV was not discussed.

not detailed and for a introductory vedio should be more explanatory

By my opinion, very interesting and informative lectures. Thank you very much!

This guy is the best lecturer on this platform, knows the subject matter, knows how to capture your attention and also has a way of going over everything in a short summary

A very difficult topic which is highly volatile to forget, but lecture does his best to keep us informed

the explanation is very clear, the scientific names are pronounced very well and the illustrations are standing out.

The lectures are well organised and gives you a basic understanding of viruses and how different types of viruses replicates in the host cell but it doesn't talk about the individual viruses, pathogenesis and the diseases caused by the individual viruses.

First time I get to understand the various confusing genomes. wonderful

very brief and only touches the superficial parts of ssDNA genomes

I love his courses! Really interesting and informative! Thank you for this awesome lecture.

Very up to date information about prions. Professor Racaniello makes every lecture interesting.

Very passionate lectures. I learned a lot about the basics of virus

He is very passionate lecturer. His lecture is very engaging and interesting. Thanks for your lecture

The course is not sufficient in clinical settings. Very theory into research , yet less in diagnosing . Good for a student into research PhD, yet not for students doing medical degree or USMLE.

I'd like if you add a specific explanation about the main types of viruses and diseases caused by them like you did with fungi, parassites and bacteria

This lectures goes through the important prion diseases. It focuses a lot on statistics making the lecture a littler longer that needed. Overall a good lecture if you're not too busy in your studying

It was very informational , I mean too much statistics about the history. Its really good for a class. But its bit TIME CONSUMING for some one running against time. One should be able to to hit guess the key points for revision. Im sorry, but this is my honest opinion.
