I didn’t like it because the quiz had a faulty question about the neurotransmitters.

This is the third course I’ve taken online that referenced a handout that I did not have access to view or use for future reference. It would be nice if those were available to download.

This course has been the hardest one to follow so far. The speaker’s notes/points seemed to not flow.

Damon – PEARLAND ISD (verified owner) – May 25, 2020

Good course, just a lot of information. Could be a 2 hour presentation.

In the presentation/quiz she wanted us to identify three neurotransmitters implicated in depression. My understanding through my own education is Norepinephrine, Serotonin, and Dopamine are three neurotransmitters implicated in depression. I even check with a pharmacist for a mental health hospital and they confirmed my thoughts. If this was live I would probable question her thought more.
