Anatomy: Know Your Abdomen

A little too basic. The list of words was sadly lacking and the prof asked if we noticed any missing to please make a note ... I added lots, but never got any response. No questions answered. And lots of references made quickly and without further explanations -- such as, as I listed before, Diaphragm
Usually refers to the thoracic diaphragm – sheet of internal dome-shaped skeletal muscle that extends across the bottom of the thoracic cavity. Superior portion of the diaphragm forms the floor of the thoracic cavity, and the inferior surface provides the roof of the abdominal cavity. Contracts to increase volume of the thoracic cavity, creating a negative pressure to draw air into the lungs.
Term can also refer to other flat structures such as urogenital diaphragm of pelvic diaphragm, but simply diaphragm most often refers to the thoracic diaphragm.
Lots more here, such as how it connects to different vertebrae, the cura and central tendons, openings, nerve supply, xiphoid process, costal margin, and lots more.

I really enjoyed this course. The issues that made this course so successful were;

a) The presenter - clear articulation and sequence of ideas that built upon the facts presented. Well paced informative presentation that didn't overload the lay person

b) The aides presented were supportive of the content and elaborated on the excellent oral presentation

c) The discussion with other medical personnel were of high interest, clear articulation and referenced material already presented so the learner was not overwhelmed with new terms and ideas.

I had the perception that the presenter was genuinely interested in his material and in how the learner could benefit from understanding the material.

To quote "Mac" in John Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday, " I would of gone about it different." (Except my grammar which hopefully would be better!)
First, the chronological structure of the course: If I have successfully finished a section and I log out, then when I log back in, I want the program to take me where I left off. There was some confusion for me in this respect.
Second: If called upon to write an article on a"six-pack" (or whatever), direct me to articles or papers and/or authoritative resources so I can read up on the subject. Also make a place available for me to post my findings. (I had assumed this is what was required) - maybe I missed this?
Third: My general impression of the course is that it it was a bit "disjointed".
If I were to be given the responsibility to set up a similar course, as I say: I would do it differently.
Sorry for being so critical!!
Probably, after this kind of feedback, you may justifiably be tempted to invite me to your teaching hospital in order to subject me to one of you more painful procedures!!??
Fortunately, I am in South Africa!

Pages difficult to navigate. No clear buttons for submit, previous, next.
Audio video dull, video with transcript would have been engaging and much better.
No way of doing the end quiz to check for understanding unless payment for course was made.
Other MOOCs I have done had a quiz for each section, computer marked instantly THEN if the course is of value and a certificate is wanted , payment can be made.
Select an audited free course, a computer generated progress chart is a great feature.
UTAS have free courses on understanding and preventing dementia AND a free certificate to download and print. An enhanced certificate for $50 is worth having with details of everything covered, if the knowledge is applicable to further studies.
