I'm a high school student interested in human physiology.

This course is AMAZING! Though sometimes I felt overwhelmed and couldn't remember everything, I think it was worth every effort and energy.

I did enjoy this course, I found I did need to do some wider reading after each section in order to embed the information prior to taking each exam.
