    Content of the Course was very informative and well presented. The links were also helpful and will be a great resource.
          
    I am using it as a review for the CHT exam. The course goes over the major points of every topic concisly with great pictures and links for further study.

    It's good module. Would like to create a format for MSWord (or something compatible to that) so I can study from in when I'm NOT around a computer. I do appreciate the links to the websites for pictures. That is wonderul. Am using it heavily in studying for the CHT exam.
