COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology by Kevin Ahern submitted by mjb12031 on April 19, 2020, 10:32am This is a truly excellent course. This was published in 2019 and is up to date and comprehensive. It is understandable to anyone with college level biology education. Students who have taken some organic chemistry in the past will find the course even more fulfilling.

There are 36 thirty minute lectures that are knowledge dense, yet at a level that remains accessible. As a medical educator it is clear to me that tremendous effort has been made in the authorship, design and execution of this course

For older students (such as me), this course should be spread out over a couple of months in order to absorb the knowledge concentrate contained in this course. It is worth the time investment.
