Exige una base previa en derecho o ciencia debido a su naturaleza interdisciplinaria.
"Me pareció que el curso asume un nivel de conocimiento previo muy alto, especialmente en temas legales. No lo recomendaría a principiantes sin una base sólida en derecho o bioética."
"A veces la terminología científica era un poco densa para alguien sin esa base. Aún así, el marco legal es muy claro y aplicable."
"El instructor es muy conocedor, pero su explicación era muy académica y un poco difícil de seguir si no eres del campo legal. Me hubiera gustado un enfoque más accesible."
"El curso es desafiante y la cantidad de información es enorme, lo que exige dedicación, pero resulta muy enriquecedor."
