Good as a very simple overview. This is more high school level than college level... but if that is what you are looking for, then worth the small investment of time and effort it will take.
von MTAug 9, 2016
It's a good course. Provides some very important information about reproductive health. Young adolescent men and women should take this course before beginning their sexual life.
