Comment:
The accent takes a bit to get past, but going to every lecture helps. He expects more than should be expected for 0.50 credits, to be sure. That being said, it can be done. Know every word of every slide. Don't waste your time memorizing the details of the text that won't be tested (see below). If Warren is still TAing, go every week. He's a gem.

Comment:
He refuses to tell students what to study beyond "everything," which is neither true nor helpful. I spent many hours on what sounded important (HIV, etc), but the exam only had token questions. You can't study off the midterm because he doesn't return it; if you ask for counsel you're given a few minutes with the answer key and no notes allowed.

Comment:
He is definitely the worst lecturer I've ever had. Very difficult to understand, puts no effort into his lecture slides and doesn't follow them as he lectures. He dumps in tons of extra info (mostly in the form of tables) and is very unclear on what you need to know. He often has trouble understanding your question and doesn't give a clear answer.

By far one of the hardest classes I have taken at uog. Kaushik is hard to understand, not by his accent but is confusing when teaching major concepts that are on the exam. I would not recommend this class unless you have to take it or it is required.

Comment:
I got nothing out of his lectures, and I was very excited about the topic. As most prof's ask you to review before class, in this case you'd might as well just learn it on your own. And people say he's nice when you actually approach him...I went to him during office hours and he showed NO desire to help me. Sadly the worst prof I've had at Guelph.

Tough class and at times boring, but solid prof. Kind and super knowledgable, with very detailed notes. Effective teacher, you should be able to take away the main concepts.

Comment:
He is actually a very knowledgeable prof that has an enthusism for immunology that shows in the lectures. although he does have an accent it is nice that there are online lectures so i dont see the accent as being an issue. the lectures are oranized fairlywell and the figures make it easier to study.

Comment:
I can guarantee the negative comments are unjustified. He is a genuinely good prof if you actually bother talking to him and he even puts lectures online to help students hear better because the lectures were in a bad hall. Overall a good prof with very fair tests if you actually put in effort.

Terrible Prof.! He has this terrible accent. All his notes are just bad summaries of the textbook. Not very organized either; no clue how he became course coordinator. He's famous for being unfriendly to students.

Comment:
Extremely disorganized, boring, and difficult to understand due to thick accent. Very lazy, instead of putting time into lecture notes he simply copies and pastes figures from the text book and tells you to know everything. No attempt to make content interesting!! Unapproachable, never answers peoples questions in class. He should not be teaching!

A friendly guy who is willing to help you, if you're willing to ask. Quite disorganized, but his lectures get the job done. His test questions are very easy, especially if you read the textbook.

Comment:
A nice guy, but terribly difficult to understand sometimes in class, so you definitely need to read the text. Listening to him makes you wish you were in Mallard's class, but then once you get to Mallard, you'll certainly miss him. His lecture on the complement system will leave you in tears; but his midterm was ridiculously easy.

He is terrible to deal with in terms of administrative issues (ie. Getting signed into a course). He's terribly indecisive and disorganized. His thoughts are disorganized. His notes are straight from the text book. The exams were quite reasonable though.
