An excellent, professionally prepared course. Very informative. Different aspects about the organ donation procedures, that are always grey areas in people's minds, are well covered and answered.

Very interesting course, especially for those related with health care, it does have amazing ways of explaining medical terminology, but it is advised to have a previous medical knowledge.

The content was well organised and the videos were quite professional. My only criticism is that think it was bit insensitive when asking questions about religious beliefs in the quizzes (for example, quoting the Quran or saying that all members of a religion should agree with organ donation because some of there religious leaders agree).
