    This course is quite interesting.
    As I'm a undergoing post grad in entomology field, it was really fun to recall things and gather some new information.
    This course would be useful for many beginners who are willing to choose and study entomology.
    I need to thank the lecturer who clearly explained everything and simple definitions for the terms which would be easy for anyone who are willing to learn.

    Before this course, I had no idea about the medical entomology, its types and how its work. And also I had no ideas what types of insects are involved and how these insects are used to identify the suspects.
