very informative and well constructedHowever, a bit biased towards negative effects of certain drugs without talking about their positive effects that are supported by research as well

I liked the course very much. And hope more and more people will take it and share the obtained information with others, so we can prevent the society from taking the drugs.

Real interesting and useful course, but since it's not my major, though sometimes hard for me to understand some concept. Still quite good! Nice teacher!

The information was great. My only complaint would be how dry the lectures were, and I do not meant the content, I meant the delivery.

Very comprehensive but easy to follow. I only regret the "pro animal testing" proselytism here and there.
