hi,
for those of you already taken the class, any advice on how to do well in the class? read the book? just follow the prof lectures? I heard it is a very tough class.

thx

If Dr. B is teaching he does a very good jo with helping you learn the material in class and his reviews are great. I have no idea what to do about Dr. R he is a super nice guy but his exams kill me. From what everyone said you need to read Robbins and then add that info into his notes and memorize it all. The class is not that hard if you keep up with the material and you pay attention in class.

is dr z gone now? for dr r, to do well in the class, study his notes. then study goljan audio, rrs, and/or kaplan on the side.

yes Dr. Z has left the school.

thats a loss for smu. but hopefully he will be happy finally practicing in the usa. i hear the new guy dr b is excellent too. no surprise smu is moving on up.

We should not expect a lot from the

i dont think smu wanted him to go. i think dr z had plans all along to get back to the us to practice. he finally must have gotten his entrance paperwork approved. thats the problem with caribbean schools. not enough incentive to keep excellent professors. from what i hear the new pathology professor dr b is excellent. maybe even better than dr z.

Dr. G is another big loss for SMU. I was surprised when he left. He graduted from University of British Columbia, school of medicine and had tons of qualifications. What is happening to this school? Who make these decisions?

Is this Pharm. Dr. G?

SMU needs to do like ross and hire some "has been" retired professors who have nothing left to live for, but teach. Young teachers don't like to stay in one place. However this in an incentive for SMU as they don't have to spend money on pay raises. However living in the caymans should be an incentive. Perhaps SMU isn't paying enough.
