I love the practical part of the learning. The use of cases makes it easy to comprehend how to actually work with the patients

Much useful/practical applied information in this course. The case study was a good exercise. I did peer reviews for 4 students. Got a msg that said AI was having trouble grading mine and I have not seen any peer reviews. The test questions were not always well constructed, resulting in some confusion, even with the option for additional attempts. I have yet to be able to figure out how to obtain credit and a certificate. Not clear where to go for help.
