Monica_in_Switzerland Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm looking to take an AandP course for my own education- I like the looks of Ellen McHenry's video course, but I doubt it can be swapped for a real intro A and P. Am I wrong? I also found a free Open Learning Initiative course from Stanford/Carnegie Mellon. Any experience there? I would love a course that offers some kind of certificate for a nominal fee, but would be happy with the one mentioned above which is just a free online course.

lmrich Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Ellen's course is top-notch. I combined it with readings from a college level A&P book. Several of my students were amazed at how they retained so much from the drawings and Ellen's explanations. I highly recommend it as an intro course for non-stem students. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porridge Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 The gold standard human physiology text (if you need a supplemental text) is Guyton and Hall’s Medical Physiology 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyMountain Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I would not use Ellen McHenry as a stand alone because it is not truly secular like I know she teaches classification in an outdated way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am leaning towards doing Ellen's first, then one of the open source college-level classes online. Can you give me an idea of time commitment? How long are the video lessons? I can't seem to find a FAQ on her website the way her other courses have. 16 hours ago, JHLWTM said: The gold standard human physiology text (if you need a supplemental text) is Guyton and Hall’s Medical Physiology Thank you, I am adding this to my wishlist. 12 hours ago, MistyMountain said: I would not use Ellen McHenry as a stand alone because it is not truly secular like I know she teaches classification in an outdated way. Thank you for this info. I had heard her rocks/minerals was not secular, but did not know it extended into her A&P. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 @Monica_in_Switzerland the videos in her anatomy series are rather long. I would count on an hour per video. I also watched Crash Course anatomy to help with the visualization part that the textbooks just could not quite capture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those. Do you happen to know if high school and college level A&P cover the same material or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
