Comment :
Not worth it. Spent the first part of the course focusing on CHEM 1040 and 1050 components. Not toxicology at all. The profs are CHEM profs. It all leads back to basic chemistry. First month was acids&bases, nucleophiles and electrophiles, and unrelated organic chem reactions. Not at all Toxicology. And from there you don\'t learn much outside of chemistry. Very biased course. Compared to other Toxicology courses, this may as well be just another chem course that looks to trick you at the UoG.

Waste of time. When they did it for my class, I had a total of 6 teachers, all who repeated what the other said, thus adding a major boredom factor to the course as well. Most material I had learned in chemistry/biology classes that I'd taken before.
