Reviews summary
Easy intro to human abdomen
This beginning anatomy course covers the basics of the human abdomen and its organs, but it may be overly simplistic for some learners and does not go in-depth on digestion. A majority of learners may find this course to be helpful, but some have experienced issues with navigation and lack of interaction.
Videos explain concepts in an engaging and accessible manner.
"Interesting because the videos explain very well."
Course makes learning about abdominal anatomy approachable for those with little prior knowledge.
"I would recommend it for those that want an introduction to abdominal anatomy, but it will be too simple for those that are already knowledgeable in this topic."
Difficulties navigating pages and accessing course materials.
"Pages difficult to navigate. No clear buttons for submit, previous, next."
Course lacks in-depth coverage of digestion and interactivity with educators.
"Expected much more, learned nothing."
"There's no interaction with the educators that don't answer the forum questions or correct the students mistake."
