Epi was a great subject. Andrew is engaging and great at explaining epi concepts - I'd highly recommend attending the weekly Q+A. Jessie (my tutor) was also great - would recommend going to the tutes too. The first half of the semester is more calculations, which imo was actually the easier part. Second half was more difficult conceptually. Assessments were interesting, the assignments I found them more difficult compared to Biostats so I'd recommend asking tons of questions and starting them early.
I love how the lecture and QA session makes this subjects looks easy with the explanation 👌🏻
Amazing teaching staff, material and content taught very well.
One of the best core subjects in MSPGH. The subject was well coordinated and course content built on each other.
