The courses are great, my only wish is that there were lecture videos to go along with the reading. It was really hard to study off of reading chapters. I felt like I understood, but easily forgotten because I realized I learn better with lectures and being able to ask questions within a classroom setting. Studying was very difficult.

The quality of the course was not good. The questions on the tests were not on material in the presentations, just random facts from the textbook. Since we are not computers we cannot memorize every word in the textbook. Maybe make the tests more centered around the presentations.

Great course and I needed a self paced course based on my schedule. The lab kit contains everything you need and it’s pretty fun to let any younger kids you have in your life watch or assist with experiments. The course itself is straightforward, you submit lab reports and they get graded within 3-5 days. As with many self taught courses, you’ll get as much out of the course as you put in. Almost all my reports were graded within hours except one that took a couple days for some reason. I would say more videos and pictures of the lab experiments/dissections would be useful but it’s not difficult to find supplemental websites with more images if your more visual like me.
