TOX 711: Principles of Toxicology

Taken: Summer 2010
Instructor: Coral A. Lamartiniere


This was a very fast paced course giving different views on toxicology. It was taught by several different lecturers, including pharmacology/toxicology professors, poison control center personnel, and animal researchers. The first few lectures were very difficult to follow because they were focused more for pharmacology students. Very little, if any, information was relevant to the field of forensic science. The other lectures were interesting, easier to follow, and could (slightly) be related to forensic science, but most of this information can be found in other classes, such as JS670: Elements of Forensic Science and JS673:Forensic Drug Analysis and Toxicology. It is possible to get a good grade, but A LOT of effort is required. If you are debating between taking this class or another class for the summer, I would suggest taking the other.
