This course was very thorough although I am not a medical major, I found it very beneficial for my own knowledge and understanding of my body's musculoskeletal and integumentary systems.

The explanations are very clear and easy to understand. The only flaw is that you should speak a little bit more louder. However, the overall of this course is excellent .
