Reviews
M71B is a pretty good extension of the M71A course, however it's more in depth about IVF and epigenetics. I thought this course was very interesting, yet also very eye-opening because it covered and expanded on a lot of topics that were relevant today such as abortion. This definitely gives a well-rounded view on science today in the world, and it definitely teaches the students to be more aware and open-minded about what kinds of practices are happening today. The lecturers are pretty much the same from the M71A course, and they were phenomenal in teaching and engaging with the students.
