    Great addition!

    This was such a great update and addition to the anatomy I learned in YTT in 2015! The modules were clear and well-illustrated, and having the pdf to look at simultaneously was very helpful. Thank you so much for offering!

    Great course, just a tech issue in final quiz

    In the final quiz, the question identifying the tibia has the image source (including the word "tibia") posted underneath, so that question was pretty easy :P Appreciate the in-depth look at anatomy, especially skeletal variation!

    Appropriate title

    Concise, very approachable, and easy to follow. Information was educational, however, I thought it could have gone more in depth for the cost. It was very general knowledge overall. Visuals are very helpful and more could have been used.

    No fluff - nice juicy important science. I'm taking notes like a madwoman - there's a lot to review.

    Clear, sparse but packed with information

    I learned a lot from this module, and I have a background (degree) in biology! As well as having been an elite athlete and having advanced wilderness first aid certification. Great distillation of just what was needed and nothing more.
