TOP REVIEWS FROM GENETICS AND SOCIETY: A COURSE FOR EDUCATORS
Very informative course and it breaks up classes nicely between scientific principles and ethics. It was a lot easier for me to keep up with than I thought it would be.
Really very informative thank you so much for this course.
They have too much emphasis on the ethics of genetic research but on genetics itself, and they really should not put so much weight on peer-reviewed assignments as far as the grade go.
This course was very informative and gives an good knowledge of the basics of genetics.
