Anatomy: Know Your Abdomen

For an aspiring medic, or if you wish to take a course in the field of health sciences, then look no further because this is a very reliable stepping stone to prep you for your future ambition. The course Anatomy: Knowing your abdomen is a very broad one but on this platform, it has been crashed into a very simple and comprehensive two-weeks-long session with videos, transcripts, quizzes to check your understanding, glossaries, professors and experts to guide you through the whole journey; with which you stand a chance on completion of the course, to earn a digital certificate of the course with your name on it. I recommend this for everyone, you might not really need this for your line of course or ambition, but being informed is pretty quintessential as a human in this century. I have learnt a great deal, you should too.

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.

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.
