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.

Tox 711:
Taken Summer 2009
Instructor: Coral Lamartiniere
This course was actually taught by several guest speakers rather than one professor. Topics include poison control information, ethics of animal care, toxicology in the emergency room, regulatory toxicology and cytochrome P450 information. Some weeks and lectures were more interesting than others.
The summer course consisted of only two exams, which were comprised of essay and short answer questions. There was an abundance of material to study for exam one, but questions only covered about 8 topics (20 pts/?). This was a problem because you are not told what specifically to study or that there are so few questions worth so much; however, partial credit is given.
Most people taking the course are IBS or tox grad students so without a tox background, material can be confusing at times. Despite this, the course is not difficult if you just study.
No books are needed for this course, all lectures were provided on powerpoint.
