Thomas – COLUMBIA-BRAZORIA ISD (verified owner) – June 24, 2020

I thought the brain information was a little overwhelming. There was good information, but it reminded me of a college class I took years ago and it just dragged on too long. Beyond that, i think everything was very informative and good.

Way too much talking about the brain. This isn’t a course on Anatomy and Physiology. Brain activity and patterns aof the brain are interesting, but Lisa went on and on about the brain that could have been left out.
