Course is great. Sure would appreciate a better looking certificate when it prints out...
Guests and readings are fantastic.. Would be great if professor Hutchinson could talk a little slower - easy to miss a lot of what he is saying. :-(. But in general a FANTASIC course!
A little difficult sometimes with the Peer Review, but other than that- informative and enjoyable.
Course is great! Got to learn about cannabis and its effect. I love how they show the NAS report in each and every studies.
