Professor Alsup is an amazing anatomy professor. She is charismatic and very knowledgable. Almost at no point at any time was my attention away from the content. Well done! Great job UMICH!

This course was very thorough although I am not a medical major, I found it very beneficial for my own knowledge and understanding of my body's musculoskeletal and integumentary systems.

The explanations are very clear and easy to understand. The only flaw is that you should speak a little bit more louder. However, the overall of this course is excellent .
