Was a good experience

I thought the idea of making some basic courses being able to be completed for credit and self paced is great. It is also at a cheaper price than some schools for the same credit. I do wish the exams were unlimited attempts, but just not be counted after the 3rd attempt to get more practice in.

The class itself is smooth sailing and easy to understand. However, those labs are extremely hard and they want you to order a lab kit that cost $200-$300 and perform the labs ALONE at your home or wherever with literally no help from a professor or classmates. I would recommend someone to take their science labs elsewhere because they really make it super difficult! Lastly, I would rate the class a 4/5 because I had a good experience, but those labs….RUN!! They are super lengthy and difficult.

Nothing much to say, convenient. Clear instruction.

Very nice and convenient, a little on the pricey side since you would have to pay $100 a month for the membership to access the course.

Overall the experiments and class were interesting, and they brought a great dimension to the study of biology as an education major. However, some of the questions on the tests were not addressed in the materials for the class.

I like their courses overall so far, only downsides is that the website can be a little tricky and sometimes it’s confusing what to do next on some courses

I had to separate the reason for taking the course from the course itself. I am graduating nursing school in 2 weeks but I found out like a week before end of 3rd semester that I needed an A &P 1 lab. The course needs a revision because at times the worksheets ask repeated questions. Also in the later weeks information not covered in the instruction material or in the lab experiments is questioned. Week 7 for example what muscles were used in a particular task and what is their movement. The virtual model label individual muscles but did not mention group name like bicep etc. Still overall class was a good experience once I got used to the class format.
