  • The course is an easy introduction to marine science. Lots of videos and pictures and the interesting facts/mouseovers enhanced the experience. I printed the student guide and am working through the course using it as a guide.

    It was easy to get through, only seven chapters - and there were lots of pictures and videos. The student guide made it easy for my 8th grader to follow along and the MC assessment was true to the content.
