It was worth it, and I might probably come back to this course for a review since anatomy is important for medical students!

Very appropriate and comprehensive information. Unfortunately, although I appreciate the need for expressing terms well, I found the presenters voice to be very difficult to listen to.

Why is it that I am finished with Module 4 but it says I am only 89% done. I go back in and it is module 4, what I have already done? Is this a set-up where I won't get my certificate because it won't let it be completed?

Two stars due to the fact that it failed me in areas I gave correct answers/ spelling to, resulting in frustration and poor reflection of grades. Decent course if you fix the bugs.... but I wouldn't take this course again till these bugs are fixed.

Super easy to understand and follow along to. I started this course and I am already over half way done. This course if done 4 hours a day can be completed in less than 2 weeks. The video breakdowns and help chats are key. There are no stupid questions, don't be afraid to ask if you don't understand something. Rewatch the videos, reread the textbooks. You can also download the textbooks for future reference if needed.

After completing this course, I feel that I can have a comprehensive conversation with a student who studies the human body. It was very straightforward with medium to sometimes thought quizzes. Overall it took me about 2 months to complete. I am glad I took this course.

It was really fun! The instructor was easy to listen to and pay attention to. I enjoyed the human body fundamentals the most and learning how to put medical terms together. It helped that I knew most of them just not always what they meant exactly.
