  • Took this completely online. My knowledge from grade 12 kinesiology carried me through the whole course and final exam. Ended with a 91.

  • I enjoy anatomy and medical studies. This was not an easy course. Studied so hard for all midterms, tests, and exams, and they were absolutely bogus. Quizzed on things I've never even heard of (even after reading each chapter twice and watching lectures twice to understand course content). Written discussion assignments aren't too hard, but final exam made me cry. Especially after spending 21 days studying for 3 hours beforehand.

  • If you took kinesiology in high school, this course will be a lot easier for you as it incorporates a lot of that info plus a bit more. There's lots of memorization especially for muscles and their insertion and origin. It's a good course if you're looking to go into the medical field but if not it's not really worth your time.

  • The lecture did not at all emphasize what would be important on the exam. STUDY EVERYTHING, VERY DETAILED.

  • Basic anatomy course, however some parts can be heavily detailed. The course had two online midterms, one research paper and a 50% final. The final was more challenging but not impossible. Just make sure to study in advance and you will be fine.

Course Overrides 2 points, 3 comments

“How easy is it to get a course override for a course where my program is an antireq?”

u/anothercooper: “Hard to say without you saying what course this is, but there is no harm in just emailing the prof asking for an override.”

u/Asthmagirl420: “it's AHS150 Human Physiology and Anatomy. Prof is Diane Williams but she isn't emailing me back so I might swing by her office”
