A somewhat interesting but also quite difficult (the labs especially, although they were online when I did the course) for me. Lectures on viruses, fungi, etc. were interesting, but I really struggled when it came down to the lectures on intracellular processes like microbial nutrition and cell membrane function. Depends how much you like zooming in on processes (if you liked Biosci101, you might like this).
