The course presents with weekly classes and lectures. Additionally, credits are written every two weeks - therefore, continuous studying is important.

Detailed information of the schedule, as well as rules and regulations is to be found on the departments individual website. It is regularly updated, therefore, students should make sure to check it regularly for important announcements.

Make yourself familiar with every teacher and their approach to questions for the credit, as this varies between the different teachers. If you have any questions - it is recommended to approach your teacher at the department, as emailing has varying degress of response rate.

Lecture and class materials are of wide importance, however, additional sources have proven to be helpful as well. A book recommended by both teachers and students is the "Robbins Pathology." This may be further aided by Osmosis. "Pathoma" and "Webpath Utah" are another extensively used sources.

Consistent reading and revision is key!
