This course is challenging and engaging. I enjoy the in video quizzes and the set up of final quizzes really makes you learn the material. Peggy Mason does a great job explaining everything.Thanks!

I benefited greatly from this course. I felt that Professor Mason was part of my family. It's great and her explanation is excellent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart professor mason.

As someone with both a BS an an MS in science, this course is far too easy to be considered college level. My high school biology and psychology courses included more information than this class. As a result, too many simple concepts (such as linear vs. angular acceleration) are explained in patronizing detail. And we don't need a 'content warning' for a biology lab: sheep brains aren't "graphic" - they are simply biological.
In addition, rather than drawing scribble-like diagrams on the whiteboard, the instructor should use digital images. In almost every lecture, I paused the recording and found a clearer image using a google search which I then then copied or printed for my notes.

interesting course however, you can easily learn this in high school. It is unclear whether to have a written assignment or video bite. You cannot have both. It is simply too much work!

1學分而已,時數快超過兩學分的量,老師講話結巴就算了廢話還一堆,考試超多多選題題幹超長難度還介於有教跟沒教之間,超級不推!
