Do you have questions about sex hormones or menstrual cycles? This is a crash-course in human reproductive health through fact and biology-based information on a variety of topics. "Sex 101" will cover reproductive anatomy, key biological changes during puberty, sexual biology and contraceptive methods, reproductive disorders, and a special introduction to the exciting field of Oncofertility. Specific lecture titles are as follows: 1) Reproductive Anatomy & Hormones, 2) Menstrual Cycle, Oocyte Maturation, & Sperm Activation, 3) Sexual Biology, Fertilization, & Contraception, and 4) Reproductive Health & Disorders. The objective of this course is to ensure you understand reproductive health and not confuse reproduction with sex (or having sex). This course was designed with you in mind, and is aimed at providing you with quality information that is meaningful to you and that may be hard to find otherwise. Reproductive health is an area of knowledge that needs to be demystified. We have designed this course for you to examine reproduction through a biological and scientific lens addressing these issues in a comfortable and interactive format that will lead to a better understanding of holistic health, long-term.

The teacher is engaging and very clear. I appreciated the written chapter after the video: it allowed me to watch the video and then revise the material and take notes (which I sometimes do with the scripts in other courses, but in this course I could benefit from the drawing and schemes).
Very detailed content ranging from anatomy, hormonal regulation, gametogenesis, contraception, infertility, STDs and oncofertility. Thank you so much!
I really liked the availability to read through notes and word for word of what the videos were talking about. I like the use of pictures as well!
Thank you for giving me excellent information on reproduction. It is very helpful course for me. Thank you Northwestern University and coursera.
MORE INFORMATION IS NEEDED WITH DETAILED VIDEO LEARNING
I achieved my primary goal: a comprehensive and confident consolidation of my foundational knowledge. As a PhD candidate in a specialized field of Microbiology, it's easy to lose touch with the finer details of other biological disciplines. This course served as a masterful review, not just of facts, but of the intricate connections between different systems. The way it seamlessly linked basic cellular processes like meiosis to the complex orchestration of the HPG axis, and then applied that knowledge to real-world clinical scenarios like PCOS and infertility, was incredibly effective. My understanding is now far more integrated and less compartmentalized than it was before. It has strengthened my belief that as biologists, regardless of our specialization, we must maintain a holistic view of the living world. Thank you for a well-designed, challenging, and truly enlightening educational experience.
We listened and watched from our professor, who was full of desire to teach detailed information about the reproductive system, infertility and sexually transmitted diseases. We had an exam with great questions. We read the lecture notes that we may need at every stage of life. A great course to take during the Covid-19 pandemic. I would like to express my gratitude to Northwestern University, Coursera and Dr Teresa K. Woodruff (Ph.D.). Murat Yağmurca, Bursa, Turkey
Studying this course on courseea has really helped in widening my knowledge about SEXUAL and reproductive health. It gives me an edge over other health professionals and makes me certified too.
I run an health page ( peacehealthcentre) on social media platforms where I educate and also offer consultation on this aspect of health, studying this course on coursera has helped me alot.... I want to say a big thank you to my lecturers and assistant lecturers.
Very useful, but for those who holds difficulties with their own sexual habilities or active sexual life, or even sexual role, it is quite complicated. Sometimes the subject of the studies can become a reason for offenses or body oriented violent intent or polemic discussions related to body parts and human anatomy of people who have a different type of body.
Well, guess the professors know what I mean. Cheers!
