I don't do well with slideshow/purely text based lessons, especially when there's so much content about muscle and origin and insertion and massage/stretching techniques, so it was a little difficult for me to absorb the information--I would have done better with more dynamic video teaching and more visual aids--for example, when talking about where the muscles are and how it all connects, I would have done better with someone talking about origin and insertion and showing on an actual person where it all is from where we see our patients, alongside the scientific pictures that show the muscles and bones themselves.
