Good content and presentation overall. But verbal communication could be better. Some important parts of the course are barely discernible. Overall good job. Thanks Steve!
Really helpful, I thought the assignment could have used a bit more concrete applied knowledge instead of just using a search engine to research a drug with provided links.
It's very important and interesting course. It helped me a lot and i gained great knowledge in that field which will enable me to join it.
