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.

Excellent information! I think the videos were great. It seems as though the discussion feature was not enabled, but that would have been nice. I think the peer-evaluations are also a good idea!

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.
