Good as a very simple overview. This is more high school level than college level... but if that is what you are looking for, then worth the small investment of time and effort it will take.
por MT9 de ago. de 2016
It's a good course. Provides some very important information about reproductive health. Young adolescent men and women should take this course before beginning their sexual life.
por YL28 de may. de 2017
Very worth taking! Insights on hormonal changes in the female and male body has been very enlightening. I wish I could learn more in a more advanced course.
por AB30 de may. de 2016
I really liked the availability to read through notes and word for word of what the videos were talking about. I like the use of pictures as well!
