- **2020-07** — The material is not difficult but a bit dense, so studying on a weekly basis would be best. For the exams, make sure you study and memorize the slides very well because Dr. Daher asks about details found in the slides. The exams are mostly multiple questions, but there are a couple of calculation questions. Focus on the questions and exercises solved in class, very similar questions, or sometimes the same questions are on the exam. The course itself is not that interesting, but it's helpful for the LABM 202 and the clinical rotations, especially the chapters about the different ions.
