Very well done and informative. I truly appreciate the Drug process in entirety being broken down into sections that are easy to comprehend. It is obvious the speakers were chosen for their knowledge.

This has been a nice course overall! Only thing I wished it had was more information on biologics drug discovery as that is the area I was interested in overall. Still very happy with it and look forward to completing the other courses in the series.

I was looking for a course that would give me a general idea of drug discovery and that could to help me fill in the gaps that I had on this subject. I found this course very interesting and useful. The only flaw: it could be more up-to-date.

I liked it and it was delivered in a very digestible manner. However it is from 2013 and I assume that, as industry evolves fast, some details maybe outdated and even obsolete. I would like to see an update even if as supplemental materials.

Too technical for that amount of time. The last week of the course, with the drug delivery, it was the best part. It summarized it well, for you to understand an overall view of the proess, which I think that its the goal of the course.

It is a good course, but I do not consider it to be a basic one. In particular, in week 2 and 3 it gets very technical. Additionally, it should start with the very last lecture of week 3 to make a better introduction to the concepts

Overall it is interesting and sumarizes well some of the key features and concepts in drug discovery. In my opinion it could be longer and some of the slides in week 2 could be better prepared. But overall it was a good course.

A really good course covering the fundamentals. For someone without a background in Pharmaceuticals , chemistry or related subjects some of it was tough to follow at first. But I could understand it by the end of the course

It helped me understand the processes involved in drug discovery, The 1st week course is a bit outdated as the data is of 2016 but it's still useful as the relative trends can be obtained by searching online.

A very good course to refresh notions of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics obtained during my studies. I particularly liked the usage of examples of real drug discovery processess to stress the concepts.

This course was absolutely fabulous and highly informative. I suggest anyone who has a knack for drugs and science associated with drugs to take up this course with eyes closed.

Videos are just okay while the reading materials are merely the PowerPoint presentations so it's not easy to go back to topics you might have missed or forgotten.

It was a decent overview. Parts are very science dense if you don't have a science background. The main issue is that the content is very outdated.
