"The design of the course is very thoughtful. I was glad that I did not have to seek things out, but that the direction and support system were provided. My peer tutor is extremely consistent, and her input is always helpful."

"I loved being refreshed of A&P. I like the chapters that are straight to the point and easy to follow. Homework and questions are not hard but enough to challenge my mind to think about what I just learned. I also liked the podcast from the first chapter … really helpful to keep what I learned fresh in my mind."

"[The refresher] was very helpful to look back at especially taking a gap year. The peer GroupMe's that we had were also helpful for us to stay on top of our assignments, but to also have someone to talk to who is a current student and to hear their advice."
