Audited this course only. Added to my knowledge and understanding. Would have liked more on ethics otherwise a great course. Highly recommended. R J Diewold M.D.\n\nRed Deer AB Canada
por RC7 de Mar de 2018
They have too much emphasis on the ethics of genetic research but on genetics itself, and they really should not put so much weight on peer-reviewed assignments as far as the grade go.
por CL18 de Fev de 2017
This course was very informative and gives an good knowledge of the basics of genetics.
por TW12 de Fev de 2016
This course covered a lot of ground & will be a good jumping off point.
