Reviews:
"I have taken this course for the two consecutive years that it has been offered and I applaud its aid in my knowledge of anatomy. As an aspiring pre-medicine student, I have enjoyed not only Dr. Good's lectures of various portions of the human body, but also the hands on experiance from disecting a cadaver. The disection portion is really a unique experiance and something that every high school student should take advantage of. It is not often that an opportunity arises like this for students at a young age. Truethfully, every minute of the class is educating. Additionally, Dr. Good's passion for the subject allows him to make it equivically interesting for the participents. To conclude, I merely believe I should thank Dr. Good for the facilitating of this wonderful program."

"I have taken this class on two seperate occasions and enjoyed it very much both times. I recommend this class for anyone wanting to enhance their knowledge of anatomy. Dr. Good is an absolute pleasure to be taught by and the class is a lot of fun. All in all I highly recommend this class."

"I am a parent and a participant in sorts. I helped out with the cadaver anatomy course on 2 occasions since I am a surgeon and wanted to be involved. My sons took the anatomy class and LOVED it. It was a fantastic experience. Dr Good has a passion for teaching anatomy and is definetley the highlight to the class. Of course, the cadaver dissection is the coolest part. Both times senior students helped with the class to assist with the anatomy dissection. The cadavers have been about 90% dissected already, but the class gets to review all the pertinent anatomy. At the end there is time for some dissection on your own. Each student was also assigned a topic related to anatomy and asked to give a brief presentation in class. The class is low key, yet highly educational. I would rate it top notch. If your interested in anatomy, medicine, physical therapy or just want to learn more about anatomy, I guarentee you will find this one day class FANTASTIC. "
